Things and Sweeney Todd

Well noting has happened of intrest so far during winter break. Nothing at all, except finding some delicious, pink, canadian wintergreen mints that taste like pepto-bismal. (hey, you either like it or you don't) I forgot i even had a blog for a while- shame on me. It's just so easy to say "i'll work on it tommorow" or whatever. I guess i shoul just try harder, i'm sure it will get easier. The problem is is that i can't tell people about it, because in al truth i don't think that it is particularly entertaining, considering that it's about nothing. Anyway, Last week i saw Sweeney Todd at the movies and i believe that it was one of the best movies that i have ever seen. Johnny Depp was fantastic (of course). but Helena Bonham Carter realy stood out to me. I adored the way that she portrayed Mrs. Lovett. I forgot that i was even watching an actress, it seemed to me that this character had become real. (not really, but close- that was just for emphasis) Carter's singing was amazing, and included another one of my favorite things about this movie: Carter never broke character while singing. I know that ths seems like a given for any actor/actress in a movie, but her mastery of the role came across splendidly while singing. It made the character seem stronger. Another nuance that i found interesting was the downhill slide that the movie took from good to bad as Todd killed more and more people. Also, the makeup with the white faces and black underneath the actors eyes really was convining. In genera, the overall dreariness of London (even in the daytime) pulled the film together nicely. I really hope that it wins those four golden globes- the film deserves them.

post number two

okay, in all truth, i don't feel like writing right now, but whatever. Sooo, my play, Arabian Nights, ended saturday. After only three perfromances, I am kind of sad. However, auditions for a new musical start tuesday, and i am pretty excited. The musical is "Once on This Island", and after hearing the music, I can't wait for practice to begin. Anyway, in the realm of things more philosophical I was thinking if it is posible to know something is right or wrong, but not be able to eplain it. When i put it this way it seems very plausible, but i also think that something can't come from nothing. Which, interestingly enough, is an example of this. I'm sure I could find some reason to make it proven, but i guess i am just lazy. However, sometimes i like to just believe in something, withut having to have proof that it's there. Considering what i just said, one would think that i believe in a god of some sort, but i am not sure yet. Whatever, there are more important things right now. I think i like living in the present.

Bumm Bumm bahhhh

ummm...Hello! This is my blog *bow*. It is currently 11:31 (no matter what that dumb "time posted" thing says. Look down.)and I am tired. I have just inished creating this monstrosity and decide it would be weird not to write anything. So here you are. Hopefully I won't forget entirely to update every so often. This is a bit awkward, as most beginnings are. Toodle-oo.
