The Scariest Barber on Fleet Street Ever
OMG I did not realize Sweeney Todd would be so terrifying and gruesome. LIke i knew what it was about but I thought it would be more fun and heartwarming (not warming in the sense of your heart being baked in a pie). ok maybe nto heartwarming but I thought not sooo scary and disturbing! YEt it was really good and I really like it and form the back Johnny Depp looked like a man dressed as a cat , like in the musical cats, which is never a bad thing! But seriously wowser, disturbing. No redeemingness ever! But good! But scary, like i am kinda scared to go to bed? IS that ridiculous? It was a musical for heaven's sake. But scary!!! (e:jill) thought it would be lighthearted like I knew it wasn't a raucous good time but I didn't realize how dark and disturbing it was! wowser But good and i recommend it

It was a lot like every other Tim Burton movie except Danny Elfman didn't do the score, rather it was redone by Sondheim. If Elfman did a Elfman version of the original I would have thrown up in the theater. But it was an alright movie.

I thought there where two redeeming parts and that was that only the rich and Powerfull (mostly) got hurt and the part where they sing about the different people and how they would taste (yes gruesome but also very funny to me). Glad you liked it.

I love tim burton, I love johnny depp, i love mike's review...

Now just to make it to the theater while it's still showing!
mrdeadlier - 01/12/08 08:33
I'm somewhat leery to take in ANOTHER Tim Burton flick; it always seems like the same recycled material (and actors, for that matter). But I guess this one seems kind of different... Based on your review, maybe I'll end up checking it out.

haha mike this review rocks...
I can't wait to go see this movie... where did you see it?

Wowser Work Is Slow
So like whoa, our store has been dead, and i mean pretty darn dead the last two days. Yesterday was super dead like i just cleaned all day and two people worked on training and it still seemed slow dead! And today was a little busier but like still super dead for a thursday. What is going on? Has everyone transfered out ? Like last week we were really busy? Where did everyone go? I don't want my store to close. Ok so it isn't anywhere close to that as of yet but still it makes me nervous since there is like 4 rite aids in kenmore, i don't want to be at the end of the list!
mrdeadlier - 01/11/08 15:33
Based on the number of drug stores that keeping popping up in Kenmore, I'm thinking you're store is probably safe. I mean, they just added 3 I can think of off the top of my head in the past year so we must not be at critical mass yet, right?
janelle - 01/11/08 08:49
I was wondering if you worked at the Rite Aid where I normally go, and I feel relieved that you don't. I hate the Rite Aid I go to (it's the one closest to where I live) and I would feel bad if I hated the place where you work. I feel pissed off every time I go to my Rite Aid to fill my scripts. Like really angry. Like I go home and vent to (e:drew). He thinks it's funny.

Muppet Babies
when the world looks kinda weird,
and you wish that you weren't there,
just close your eyes and make believe,
and you can be anywhere
hodown - 01/09/08 09:14
Speaking of muppets. Do you guys still have the tape of you and Paulie singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow? That's a classic.
paul - 01/09/08 06:03
I think you mean happy days.
lilho - 01/08/08 22:50

Fire, Rain and Machettes
So I used to love and actually still love the song Fire and Rain, ever since it was featured on the Dawson's Creek episode where his father died. Anywho, I haven't heard it in a while and then randombly three times since last night I have heard itON THE RADIO, on three separate stations. Seriously why was it on 96.1 99.9 and 104.1 in the last like twelve hours. How random? Is there a big James Taylor comeback tour coming soon or something? Random?

Also, whenever there is strife in Africa , like currently in Kenya, mobs of people always attack others with machettes? Does everyone there just have one? I also wondered about this? Is that like how people here have guns, there thye have machettes? It just really rocks my world that like all of a sudden thousands of peoples in roitous mobs have them at the drop of a dime!
libertad - 01/04/08 17:54
My friend in Cuba Dayron was attacked with a machete. He has a permanent scar on his hand from it because he used his hand to protect himself. THey wanted his cell phone.
brit - 01/04/08 17:03
I love that song too!
mrmike - 01/04/08 17:01
Right, they slice, they dice, they julienne.....
drew - 01/04/08 16:44
If it's like central America, everybody has machetes. They are very useful things to have.
