Happy New Year!
Jan. 1st, 2005 09:13 amWhoa. I must say, considering it's barely after nine o'clock in the morning on New Year's Day, there are a lot of people posting on my flist. Great stuff too, including new fic from the brilliant ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
viva_gloria, and hereswith, and elessil.
There are rainclouds floating about, but it hasn't rained on the Rose Parade in fifty years, and it's not about to start now. The parade gets more impressive every year. Mickey Mouse is the Grand Marshall this year, which is quite appropriate as this year marks the 50th anniversary of Disneyland, The Happiest Place on Earth (if one doesn't get run over by a holiday float)(Sorry,gingersnapps--you know how I adore the place, though).
Ooh. The marching band from Hawaii just went by, and I bet all those grass-skirted little girls are :::cold:::.
It has been brought to my attention that not everyone on my flist knows what the Rose Parade is. I find this mind-boggling, since it is such an Event here in L.A. and, I had assumed, all over the country and even the world, as it is televised in about 150 countries (according to Bob Eubanks). However, perhaps that's just me being silly about what is, after all, a small (though lovely)little enhancement to the scheme of things. Anyway, for those who are interested... ( here's a little about the Rose Parade )
We went to two movies last evening--Phantom of the Opera and Ocean's 12--before coming home to watch another on HBO, Ghost. ( Movie thoughts under the cut. )
Jeesh, I started this at 9:00 this morning, and now it's almost 3:00 P.M. Everybody's still posting like mad, and emailing and stuff. Poorfabu has a whole sick family (except for herself, knock on wood), and has issued a call for hot h/c fics, so maybe I'll do a short one, before I start in again on Harry IV, which I really MUST do: this happened when I was writing Norrington's Choice, too: I got bogged down in the middle, and it took me forever to get my momentum back. I did, though, and I expect I'll get Harry IV done, too, eventually.
Happy New Year, all!
