Back before I was very good at touch typing I did. Now though, it probably takes you longer to read them than it does for me to type them.
I also sort of have this bad habit of feeling like I have to justify myself completely in one post because in the past I've had my posts picked apart and had to defend them over the course of several sessions. The way I see it now it's easier to just write one long post and it usually works because either A: I've thought it out and typed it out good enough that it's difficult for the common reader to poke holes in it or (probably more likely) B: They're just so d#mn long that most people don't even bother to read them...
Then there's that factor of me working for an advertising company in a slowing economy when I have nothing better to do than get paid to surf the web and post on this board. When work picks up and I have to go back to doing this stuff on my own time, my posts will probably be shorter and fewer.... See, I couldn't even make this one short!

preconceived expectations. When something doesn't happen right in the current one, like the center torch doesn't go up or the sparks don't fly out of it at the finale or a musical cue is not met with the visual, I (while enjoying it) think that it was an incomplete or flawed performance even though it's nearly twice as impressive as anything that's come before it, I notice things missing like that which I might not have, had Reflections been all I'd ever known... Then again, maybe I've just seen the current version too many times Am I just blabering or does anybody actually know what I mean by all of this?

Correct Steve!
I was there on sept. 22 for the first time they show it to the public. It was a "secret" as noone knew that Illuminations was not going to be shown again. It was really a night to remember! I was standing right in the middle of WSC Plaza and the barge was so strong that you could feel the heat in your face. We were all amazed... tears running... For the following 2 1/2 months I watched it almost every night with the same emotion! That music...
Anyways... on the Press night, they had a delay! They had to make an announcement for technical problems! It was delayed by probably three minutes! Someone´s head probably fell that night... hehe
