As anyone who knows me knows, the Golden Globes are prlly my favorite day of the year, if not , then they are a close second to my birthday. Anywho, like seiruosly I generally start watching at like 10am I satrt watching all the prewshows on E! then switch between the E! shows and the actual channel of the GOlden Globe preshows though E is usually way better. Then I watch the Golden Glose and then a good like 5 hours of post shows and interviews!
BUT ALAS!!!! This year there will be none. Because of the writers strike there is no Golden Globes and so I slept most of the day! And now I am wathcing this ridiculous like interveiw show on NBC that is replacing the Globes. NO FANCY DRESSSES! NO CRAZY INERVIEWERS ASKING INANE QUESTIONS! NO LIMOS! No anything good! Serio0usly, this sets up my year to be pretty bad as if it wasn't already heading that way! GRRRR!!! I hope the strike is over by the OScars but like the OScars are a whole different beast. Much more serious and not as fun and random as the Golden Globes. I WANT MY GLOBES!!! What is going to be in the magazines all week and on E and in my life! GRRR

Golden Globes : (01/12/2008 01:03 #42850
The Scariest Barber on Fleet Street EverOMG 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'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.

Wowser Work Is SlowSo 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?

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.

Fire, Rain and MachettesSo 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!

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.

If it's like central America, everybody has machetes. They are very useful things to have.
