And no, this doesn't have anything to do with Daniel Radcliffe or Equus... of which I really should write a review but it's very difficult to put my feelings into words. The very short version is that it was very good, very gripping and intense, and I admire Daniel a hell of a lot for taking on this challenging role! I still need to download my pics from this trip, but will post some soon, hopefully. In any case it was a lovely time! :)

So, regarding that other thing...

serenitysangel mentioned a while ago that there would be a new vampire series, Blood Ties, based on a series of books by Tanya Huff. She also had found some pictures and yes the vampire certainly looked rather tasty. I put the books on my Amazon Wishlist and then kinda forgot about it again. Yesterday I found a link in

anatketani's LJ to a Youtube user who has uploaded all the episodes (up to #8 - the missing fith clip of the episode "Love Hurts" is here, btw.), in their entirety. I watched the two-part pilot last night, and the rest of the series today, and omgomgomg this is sooooo good and Henry (the vampire) is very hot and I love the (sexual) tension between the three leads. Now that I had a taste I can't wait for more! I really should know better... *headdesk* As

serenitysangel likes to say, "I can resist anything but temptation" - certainly when it comes to certain subjects... :)

PS: Still catching up...

for those interested. It's not a review, more a commentary on the makers' choice to cast Daniel and its (possible) consequences, as well as a brief history of the revival process. No major spoilers.

'Equus' revival blinded by the light
Will Radcliffe casting overshadow play?

By DAVID BENEDICTLONDON -- A revival of a 1973 psychological drama about a boy who blinds six horses might seem unlikely to cause a box office stampede. But that thinking doesn't allow for the "Harry Potter" factor.

Prior to its first preview, London's new production of Peter Shaffer's "Equus" already had taken an eye-widening £1.6 million ($3.1 million). Why? Because the play marks the stage debut of Daniel Radcliffe, better known as the title character in Warner Bros.' wizard franchise. And for about 10 minutes of the play, he's naked.

Publicity photographs of 17-year-old Radcliffe nude in a tastefully cropped pose next to a white horse, another of him in an intimate embrace with actress Joanna Christie and a solo image shot from behind have ricocheted around the world.

Unsurprisingly, Web sites and newspapers have seized upon the images, inciting prurient and furious debate over everything from the possibility that the casting will threaten the squeaky clean "Harry Potter" brand -- onscreen, the boy wizard is about to have his first kiss -- to whether or not Radcliffe's parents should have let their son appear in this manner.

( The big question now is whether all the hype will overshadow the play. )

And for a non-Harry Potter/Daniel Radcliffe fan's POV on the play, tune in to this channel again after 28th April... :)

I REALLY needed a new fandom/obsession...
