Daniel Radcliffe and social skills

So, I was watching a rerun of Inside the Actor's Studio and James Lipton was interviewing an eighteen year old Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter). During the course of the interview, James asked Daniel what brought him to acting. Daniel stated that he was telling his mom that he was "crap" at everything. His grades were not that good, he did not like sports and he was not good at anything. His mother told him that he had great social skills. He, at the time, discounted social skills as worthless, but mentioned to James that in the end his mom was right and social skills had been more important to him than anything else. Even a young actor knows how important it is to be socially adept.

Merry Christmas

I want to wish all my friends a Merry Christmas and send you all my best wishes for a happy New Year.

New Favorite Author

Well, howdy. I have been so busy with the new school year that I haven't had much time to post. I also have a new favorite author. Thanks to my Cassandra, I broke down and read the Twilight Series. They are excellent and well written. However, due to my new found interest in vampires, I began watching True Blood over the summer. Loved it!! I had never heard of the Sookie Stackhouse books and until I saw an interview with David Ball, I had no idea that was where he found the inspiration for True Blood. Like a true bibliophile, I could not help myself and ran out and bought the first Sookie books, Dead Until Dark. I have fallen for Sookie and her world in a hard way. Thanks to Charlaine Harris for writing such excellent material and thanks to Cassie for turning me onto the vampire lore. What fun. I am through book 6 and am heading out the door for more.
