Go Harry Potter!

The media is making a huge deal out of the fact that Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who plays Harry Potter in the films based on author J.K Rowling's books has chosen a theater path that is not so humble as his film character. Equus:The Play is based on Peter Shaffer's book written in 1977 about exploration of the way modern society has destroyed our ability to feel passion. Alan Strang is a disturbed youth whose dangerous obsession with horses leads him to commit an unspeakable act of violence. As psychiatrist Martin Dysart struggles to understand the motivation for Alan's brutality, he is increasingly drawn into Alan's web and eventually forced to question his own sanity.

I say to Daniel, way to go and whats the problem? That he is only 17? I give him a lot of credit for taking on a very challenging and disturbing role. The main character has caused intentional violence to several animals. I am more disturbed about "the character" than I am about the nude scenes and sexual content. I feel he will do very well and he needs to break out of the Harry Potter persona at some point. Child actors often are stereotyped as what ever cute character they played through their sitcom years and never really have that chance to break away.

Hopefully the people of London will give him a chance and the reviews come back raving. Break a leg! P.S. I found this funny clip on Youtube, my sentiments exactly ;p

Very Fat Cat Gets Stuck In Doggie Door

UPDATED: 12:52 pm EST January 11, 2007

The Oregon Humane Society recovered a 20.2-pound stray cat that was found halfway stuck in a doggie door Wednesday in Gresham, Ore.The Humane Society said the cat was trying to steal food from a home that had put out food for its own cats."I heard quite a ruckus when I went into my garage," said Jadwiga Drozdek, who cares for six cats at her Gresham home. "It was hilarious to see this big cat struggling to get in. I helped him out of the door and gave him a plate of food on the patio."

The cat was described as "unusually large" by the Humane Society and was nicknamed "Goliath."If the cat is not claimed in three days, the Humane Society said it will neuter the cat and make it available for adoption."He will sure warm your lap this winter," said Sharon Harmon, OHS executive director. "People with a king-size bed would be a good fit for this cat."The Oregon Humane Society will add a free bag of low-calorie cat food with the adoption.The OHS said that 40 percent of cats in the United States are considered to be overweight and are being seen more often by veterinarians for various disorders. A press release said cats are at risk for a number of obesity related disorders and that in recent years feline diabetes mellitus, or diabetes, has become a regular diagnosis in animal hospitals across the United States.Weight loss plans in cats need to be approached very carefully. Any cat that is overweight should have a physical exam performed, including blood and urine tests, the OHS said.

*Side note from me, this in my opinion is animal abuse. It's one thing to love your animal and over indulge but its another to let it run wild and not control its diet.*
