A Deathcentric Musical Day

So I'm not really sure why this is happening, but the two songs I've had in my head all morning at "Feed Me Seymore" from Little Shop of Horrors and "Epiphany" from Sweeney Todd.

Both are about people deserving to die.



(Starring the kickass Angela Lansbury and the AMAZING George Hearn)



(And my childhood crush, Rick Moranis. He's so dreamy.)

I really don't think anyone deserves to die right now. I swear! And I know that this post, coming right after my last post makes me look like a terrible person, but I swear, I don't have murder on my mind. I just happen to like my music murderous.


Although you guys sure look like plant food to me. ;-)

We Hate HER Club

Have you ever met a person that assaults your senses in a not good way? Looking at the person is only a little better than hearing the grating sound of said person's voice talking her complete nonsensical bullshit. A person whose very presence in the room makes you want to simultaniously vomit and run as far away as possible.

I have met such a person...and SHE is marrying one of my friends.

Sigh.

What do you do when the friend you thought you knew, chooses to love a person that is the complete opposite of all the great and unique things you like about your friend? Paula Abdul might say that Opposites Atract, but I say, "What the F*ck Paula Abdul?"

McSigh.

It's okay for now, but I wonder what will happen when I watch my friend marry HER?? I mean, if this were a movie, my friend would meet a wonderful girl, full of life, vitality and adventure AND through a series of hilarious mishaps, he would eventually realize he loves this new girl and after a ton of people get arrested and burglars try to steal the jewels, and the secret agent guy grabs the hidden documents, the wedding will be called off and everything will work itself out lovely. Ummmm...that is pretty much what happens in What's Up Doc?
More Sigh.

At least one good thing does come out of all this: When I'm with HER, I appreciate all the people I love more and more. Plus, now I'm in the mood to watch What's Up Doc?

I am so lazy

So I am completely lazy and have not yet done and have not yet updated about Halloween or anything cool that has happened recently. I promise that the Halloween post will come eventually, in all it's glory, but until now, here is a teaser.



But right now, I just have to say three things.

1. Thank God Barak won the election.
2. All Marriages should be illegal until EVERYONE can marry who they love.*
3. I get to go to Chicago in less than 6 hours!!! You cannot imagine how excited I am just to be out of this state for a long weekend.


* I also have to say that my feelings on this MIGHT have to do a little with the fact that I have already been invited to 7 WEDDINGS next year and honestly....that's too much.

So everyone have a great weekend and know that I am having a sweet and awesome time! Wooo!

Movie Time

Just watched Iron Man on Blueray Tuesday night and I have to say it was pretty sweet! What was also pretty sweet was my drinking at least 3 Mich Ultras and getting pretty darn tipsy while sitting in a Papasan Chair. ;-) Anyhoo....


Does anyone remember this movie? I was just reminded of it yesterday when I read an article on the Best Halloween movies to watch and now I can't get it out of my head. I'm almost positive I watched it when I was a kid and probably totally loved it. I'm putting it on my Netflix.
As of now I have only vague memories of THAT movie, but I DO have awesome memories of a lot of other Halloween movies which I have compiled for you here! Without further ado, I present:



My Top 5 Films to Watch on Halloween


5. Arsenic & Old Lace -

Ever since I did this show in October of 90-something, I have adored it. :-) Mortimer Brewster is one of the THE coolest characters out there. His mix of dry, witty humor, plus slapstick gets me every time. Plus, the Frankenstein/Igor mentality of Johnathan & Dr. Einstein make the show amazing!

4. Casper -

Christina Ricci? Between this and Now and Then, my high school self completely adored you. I also adored that dress you got to wear...and HOLY CRAP, Casper was HOT!! Plus you lived in the coolest House EVER and you had the neatest Halloween Party too, and Bill Pullman is awesome and holy cow, I NEED to watch this movie right now.

3. The Rocky Horror Picture Show -

Halloween Memory: Going to Sarah Davenport's house and dressing up with Brenda as Brad and Janet to watch it on VH1. At the time, I was pretty sure it was the "dirtiest" movie I had EVER seen and that I was probably going to hell for watching it. If only my high school self could meet me now. . .

2. Hocus Pocus -

Oh, Hocus Pocus. How many times have I watched thee? How many times have I made eyes over the kid from Erie Indiana?? How many times have I sang Come Little Children I'll Take Thee Away... and Put A Spell On You?? The answer is LOTS. And even though I could probably quote the entire movie, it never really gets old....well, almost never.



1. Poltergeist -

Possibly the best "Scary" movie ever made. The creepy clown, the freakin' ridiculously too scary tree, and that awesome lady who was in all those 80's movies. Spielberg at his best, Film at it's best, and creativity at its best! Most definitely my FAVORITE Halloween movie, and one which I have watched repeatedly for the past three Halloweens running.


So what will I be doing this Halloween?? Well...aside from partying it up hardcore at my Annual Halloween Party, I WILL be watching Poltergiest sometime during the night. And who knows, maybe we'll all fall asleep with the TV on . . .

Donnie Darko
