  Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire hit theaters Friday, and I was there to see it. The Goblet got a PG-13 rating, because of fantasy violence, and dark concepts. The actors in the movie didn't mind. They said that they were being faithful to their first fans, and the older ones. The film shows how all the characters are growing up. They face most of the problems that teenagers today face as well.
Dating and love also plays a big part in the film. This is Harry's first ball, and, being a champion, he has to open the ball with his date. A new Teacher is introduced who is a little on the eccentric side.

 SMART TALK
By Assoc. Therapist Winton “Windy” Prolix
GATHER TOGETHER: Redundancy about togetherness may explain the increase in this country's curmudgeon count. It, like the word togetherness itself, gets really tiresome.
At the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired, entering patients are sometimes veterans of the ’70’s human potential movement. Their habit is to share together, blend together, combine together, huddle together, join together, mingle together and mix together.
These days, many of their children add to the glut of cookbooks.

Ithaca, NY: The Kitchen Theatre Company continues its 2005/06 - 15th Anniversary MAIN STAGE Season with The SantaLand Diaries, a decadent dose of holiday humor, courtesy of NPR humorist and best-selling author David Sedaris. David Sedaris' popular holiday story known to This American Life listeners has been adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello into a screamingly funny one-person play that stars Karl Gregory. It begins previews on Thursday, December 1 at 7:30pm, opens Saturday, December 3, and runs through Friday, December 23, 2005. [Mature theme & language]
David Sedaris may well be "the closest thing the literary world has these days to a rock star" (New York Times). His speaking engagements are now consistently standing-room-only, a far cry from his early days as a housecleaner in New York City. His sardonic wit and incisive social critique have since made him one of America's pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with which Sedaris slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that he is a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today.

SMART TALK
By Sotto Voce, R.N.
FELINE CAT: Recently, I attended a language conference at Cornell University as a delegate from the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired. Since I treat many patients for Redundancy Disorder, I watch for symptoms everywhere I go. I was not surprised to notice that Cornell, in spite of its status, suffers from the disorder on an institutional level. For instance, it has prerequisites for its courses, not requisites. Typical collegiate verbosity.
However, I was surprised to see a symptom I had not encountered in treatment at the institute. I was even more surprised because Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine is world renowned. In spite of that college’s pool of expertise, the campus hosts the Cornell Feline Cat Club.
But I’m not a zoologist. Given the state of recombinant DNA research, perhaps canine cats exist. Or bovine cats. Who knows these days?
