Sweeney Todd

Sunday, December 30, 2007

Awesome, awesome, awesome! We saw the movie tonight at the Alamo Drafthouse. Johnny Depp can sing! The little boy has an amazing voice.

It took a few minutes for the audience to stop giggling each time Sasha Baron Cohen appeared. Too funny.

"Kathy Stuns Freak Pit"

Kathy Stuns Freak Pit with Amazing Show

Yeah, that was the most recent headline on Guitar Hero (I, II, III or 80s- not sure which- DD has them all now). I am thrilled to be playing the Freak Pit. It's a step up from the high school gym I was playing yesterday. My band doesn't seem to be setting things on fire yet in this part of the series.

Someone online was saying that instead of playing Guitar Hero, people should spend their time learning to play an actual guitar. Having attempted to learn to play an actual guitar, I can tell you that the two things have nothing in common. Real guitars hurt your fingers and require some actual talent. I'm sticking to Guitar Hero.

I just caught a YouTube vid of JC on Britney's old reality show. Funny stuff.

I am enjoying my new GPS navigation system. I was hoping for a hot guy voice with an accent, but this is just some lady. Eh, what can you do. She mispronounces the street I live off of, which provides us endless entertainment, because we are very easily amused! :D

I am Your Deeeentiiiiist

Thursday, December 27, 2007

Ever get the feeling that dentists are trying to inflict every dental procedure known to man on you, just to make some money? We have zero cavities and somehow they always offer us 2-3 extra procedures each- things like fluoride treatments and sealants (what am I- ten?), and panoramic xrays we just had six months ago. Yeesh.

Christmas

Wednesday, December 26, 2007

We've been watching and sharing Jeff Dunham's Achmed the Dead Terrorist bit for several days now. It's hilarious. So everything we did at the grandparents' the past few days was marked by the words "I KILL YOU!"

Skip-Bo: "Don't touch the cards! I kill you!"

Drive-through light show in Grand Prairie: "Don't stop in the tunnel of lights! I kill you!"

The mall (o.m.g.): "Do not take my parking spot! I kill you!"

LOL! Very Christmas-y.

Here are some cute vids we've been watching, both from America's Funniest Home Videos:
Pugs tilting heads
Baby belly laugh
DD laughed exactly like that one time at that age, when we got her a helium balloon at Garden Ridge. We could not get her to laugh again on video, once we got home. So that one makes me giggle all the more.

P.S. I Love You

Sunday, December 23, 2007

Saw the movie today with Laura. It was the chickiest chick flick ever- yay! Who does an actress have to sleep with to get a role where she makes out with Gerard Butler, Harry Connick, Jr. and Jeffrey Dean Morgan??! Probably some other hot guy.

Yes, one of them is quite naked in the movie. See it now.

Initially I thought post-mortem love letters were romantic, but about mid-way through, I really thought it was a bit selfish. A couple of notes, perhaps 30 notes in 30 days, but notes for a year? Hmm. It would make it so hard to move on. Well, it was good anyway.

COOL

I am now the owner of a Feb. 2, 1984 issue of Rolling Stone with Duran Duran on the cover. It was 25 cents at Half-Price Books. Can you believe it? This thing is going into a frame or something.

Inside there is an ad that says CD players are finally coming down in price. The one in the ad is only $699.

There is a pic of Keith Richards in it, where he actually looks pretty good. I showed it to the kiddo and told her it was Johnny Depp's dad in Pirates of the Caribbean III. She was shocked. lol.

Speaking of Johnny Depp, they are airing very old episodes of the late night shows lately, and he was on David Letterman (I think) from about 15 years ago. This was back when he was a total studcake in regular life, before he disavowed the hotness and started dressing like a slouch. Woo!

Movies

Friday, December 21, 2007

Saw National Treasure II today. It was good. Slow and silly start, but good later. My favorite quote: "You know what the tax is on five million dollars? Six million dollars."

Previews- George Clooney and John Krasinski in the same movie! Yay.

Vinyl Cafe

Thursday, December 20, 2007

Someone just turned me on to this the other day:

Stuart McLean, former professor in the Journalism school at Ryerson U in Toronto, comedian and author, has a Canadian radio show that airs on CBC Radio 1 (Sirius 137). His stories are really entertaining. The Vinyl Cafe is the name of his show, and also the name of a fictional record store owned by the characters in his "Dave and Morley" stories.

Take a look at Vinyl Cafe's website for more info.

You can also check out one of his stories here:

It's Thursday

Hidee ho.

CJ has been here for a couple of days. We had a great time hanging out. She's gone to her daughter's now for a visit before heading home. Her DD is a sophomore at UT.

Kimberly's oldest son has applied to UT for next year in the music school. They'll be here in February for his audition. I'm glad I didn't have an audition for college, in addition to the application stuff!

Just for posterity, here's my quote of the year:
"Tori Spelling has the self-esteem of a 'pretty girl.'"
Ouch. But, yeah.

Why do I still hear George Bush talking on my TV downstairs? I thought this was supposed to be a Christmas message, and he's been chatting for 40 minutes. Ahh. I hear journalists. Must be a bonus press conference.
