Just got back from seeing the midnight premiere of Harry Potter. Wow, totally worth every penny. I didn’t know it was going to be in 3-D (our low rent theatre often doesn’t show those). This was my first 3-D movie and honestly, it could be my last. I was taken by the depth of the 3-D process but it made me ill. Seriously, had to look away when things started whipping around fast (like when they were getting into Gringott’s) so not to vomit on the hapless people in front of me.

I also indulged in one of my favorite things on the way home. I love driving at night with the windows down (even on days as cold as 50 degrees). Tonight (I’m often lucky with my midnight premieres) the moon was full. I took the long way home, left the black top and tooled around on roads that scare half my friends in the bright day light. I could have turned the headlights off and still be fine as bright as the moon was.

The only real downsides to tonight were all bodily. The 3-D glasses gave me eye strain and a vague headache. My arm was killing me since it was a full theatre (and my friends and I are not small women) so I was hunched in the chair (and today was my first day of active PT so I had already over done it) and mysteriously my good knee was bothering me and the theatre was hotter than holy hell. Still, it was a very good time.

If the 3-D in the movie theater made you queasy, you'd better stay away from the Harry Potter ride at Universal. Add a lurching, swooping seat to the 3-D stuff whipping by and it's spew city. I can honestly say that ride is worse than Spider-Man for inducing vertigo.

oh geez. I was okay in Spiderman. I'll have to save the Harry Potter ride for last then let someone drive me home
