I was planning on building a time machine...

so this is good to know.

What's your 1950s Name?

Excitement

I just recently discovered that Johnny Depp will be starring in the movie version of Seeney Todd. How freakin awesome is that. Costarring Helena Bonham Carter, no less.

SWEET!

Auditions

I tried out for a musical today(and yesterday). I hadn't tried out for anything in over a year so it felt really good. My voice sounded terrible though. That'll learn me to not sing all these months and think that I have enough natural ability to pull notes out of my bottom. Ok, I didn't do that bad with the singing, just not as good as I wanted to do. Blah. Let's talk about dancing then. I guess I have become a rather competent tap dancer over the past year, which feels pretty good, I must say. There were only about for or five of us there who were able to tap and tap fast like they wanted. So if I had an in for this musical in any way it would have to be for the tap. This is a tap heavy show and they're gonna need some people who aren't just going through the motions. We'll see I suppose. Cast announcement isn't until Friday of this week so I will be held in suspense until then.

Tappa tappa tappa...

The Departed

Never have I left a movie theatre before and had the fear of being shot in the head instilled in me...until now. Shot in the freaking head. S-H-O-T in the H-E-A-D. Even after saying this, I still enjoyed this movie and highly recommend it. How is this possible?

Well, let me begin at the beginning. I walked into this movie and immediately embraced the deep Bostonian accents(I guess cursing like a sailor also comes with the territory?) with the "Pok the cah in Ha-vud yod" and what-not. Also the plot had the twists and turns and ups and downs that kept it very interesting.

This cast was definitely the cream of the crop. Alec Baldwin and Mark Wahlberg were snot-inducingly funny with their uncensored and sometimes deranged dialogue. And how about these two words, Jack Nicholson. Do I really have to say more?

Ok, I will. ;)

Let us not forget our two leading men; a Mr. Matt Damon and Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio. Whilst trying not giving away any of the juicy details I will just say you will fall in love with one character and end up hating the other(yes, this will happen even if you are a dude. Deal with it.) I mean, how do you get all of these great actors into one movie? I will tell you how. You have Martin Scorsese direct it, that's how. Oh yeah, I guess money doesn't hurt either.

So while there is a fair share of ketchup splattering in this cinematic feature, if you keep your hands at neck level throughout you can pretty much cover your eyes at the appropriate moments and enjoy the rest of this intense and rather thought provoking film.

Nemo's Dying

The lone survivor of my dad's attempt at raising baby clownfish is slowly wasting away. I can remember when he was just a floating pair of eyeballs, and now he's grown to a floating pair of eyeballs with stripes. I just gave him a pep talk a minute ago so there's still hope. Right now he's napping on the bottom of the tank. Hopefully he'll start eating the enormous amount of food that dad put in the cage as a last effort. Poor Nemo. :(

Gator Growl Weekend

Well I am mighty happy that I am able to get out of Melbourne for the weekend.

And that's all I have to say about that.
