I feeeeeeeeeeel you, Joanna
Sweeney Todd. Loved it.
Wasn’t exactly what I expected, but still quite good. It was songier than I thought it would be. I suppose its genesis as an opera should have clued me in that there wouldn’t be much dialogue. The vocals were all much better than I anticipated. And in typical Burton style, the darkness [...]

Happy Ho Ho Ho~
Mine was merry this year. Instead of opting for the tradition of the last 4 years which amounted to “spend christmas alone and crying at the movies” I went over and had the holiday with my sisters and their families. T’was grand.We invented a new tradition this year which I am as yet undecided about; [...]

In my whipsawing life little is certain…
except that you should go see Juno. Seriously. This was the sweetest, most hilarious, and lovely movie I have seen in forever. Plus Michael Cera rocks so hard it is hard to believe.

Mice? Seriously?
Seriously.
Mice ate through my console. Mice chewed off the wires that operated my gas flap release. MICE ate through the rubber liner inside my driver-side door (which, to be fair, was covered in chocolate). I therefore hate mice. Even more than before.
Why they are living in the garage at the body shop I do not [...]

I love Klaus
I do NOT however, love the bastards who have had their grubby little mitts on him all these past few weeks. I finally manage to escape the purgatory-on-wheels that IS the Ford Mucous only to discover some day-and-a-half later that someone BROKE the console in the middle of my car and CUT THE WIRES which [...]

I meant to reccommend
No Country For Old Men the latest offering from the estimable Cohen Bros.
I went and saw this film two weekends ago and I am still feeling the creepy-crawlies about it. This is the first time I can recall having literally squirmed out of my seat with the intensity created on screen.
The subtle psychological violence was [...]

I fall down alot…
Certainly a lot more than any other adult I know anyway. I guess if I reflect on the matter at any length, I can say I’m not the most coordinated person I know, and its true my balance cannot be said to be the best around, but still. There’s something so profoundly shocking and embarrassing [...]
