Sweeney Todd Is Awesome-0 !!!
Sweeney Todd! I've been waiting for this movie since the summer...we just got back from seeing it and I LOVED IT!! while watching it, I was thinking 'I need to come back and see it during a matinee next week'...I'm ready to go back...Brian loved it too...we ran over to Best Buy and found the ONLY copy of the soundtrack with lyric booklet the store had on stock...it was buried in the soundtrack section...I'm playing it right now...fan-freakin'-tastic!!! Johnny Depp is smooth, Alan Rickman is oily, even Helena B-C does a nice job as Mrs. Lovett...wonderful! Its a muscial, very little dialog, its all sung, so you must be ready for that, but still, its well worth it...please go see it!!
We hauled this DVD out last night and played it...Mr. Mackey and his Silver Bells song is great, the whole television special is brilliant, actually...if you like South Park, and I've been a big fan since the beginning...I could post the Spirit of Christmas, the one that started it all, but that is majorly offensive and while hilarious, not exactly what I should be posting here...but if you want to see it, I'm sure you can find it in a quick manner...
We are venturing out into the Land of Masses on this, the last weekend before Christmas...Sweeney Todd is showing at 12:30 and Alamo Drafthouse is offering 3 versions of 'meat pies' on their special menu...Rabbit, Bison or Duck...which one should I choose? i'm thinking Bison...I'm hearing GREAT things about the movie, I'm ready!
It was 75 here yesterday, sunny and gorgeous...no ice, no snow..that'll come in February, if at all...I've seen 80 degree days in Feb, but those years we had massive droughts in the summer, so I'll take 40 degree Feb days, please...
The cats are wound up, Clementine helped me make the bed by attacking all the lumps and wrinkles in the sheets...they can't get under the tree to drink out of the tree stand because we've blocked it with presents...which makes them fidgety (its not like we don't have plenty of other water bowls in the house, they just like to drink out of unusual places)...I hope they settle down before they break something...
I've been at the torch, but unhappy with what i've been making...I've been trying a large-scaled bead design in a small size and its not going well...plus the beads take forever because the dots are layered...over 50 dots at last count...I've got maybe 8 of them but I'm gonna move onto a new design..I know when to walk away and start over...I'll have beads for offer after Christmas, so I hope ya'll save some pennies to treat yourself after the holiday...don't be a Scrooge!
