Script Frenzy

Well NaNo passed me successful and now for some ridiculous reason I've got it in my head to do script frenzy. 100 pages of script in 30 days. This will be the first script (other than one for a creative writing class) that I've ever done. I want to do an actual play. The whole reason this came to be a good idea was today while at work I had an idea pop into my head.
The life of a handful of college students through their interactions at a coffee shop. I probably wont hit 100 pages, especially since priority will be going to homework for my thesis paper...hmm too bad I'm not taking this class in November I may have a 50,000 word essay.

Well here is to my crazy this year!

A review of "Alice in Wonderland"

It was beautiful! I was swept up in the story and the visuals (maybe I should make this a review of Avatar as well, just kidding). The acting was superbly done. Johnny Depp was totally in his element as the Mad Hatter.
Mia Wasikowska was an amazing choice for Alice. I am now looking forward to seeing her next up and coming films (yes even Jane Eyre, a book that was the only good thing from those sister's (that I've read)).
I am glad Anne Hathaway turned down the role of Alice (oh so long ago) and said "Yes I'll play the White Queen, Please!" (Though how she held her hands the entire movie I just wanted to come over and put them down at her sides, it was reminiscent of the old style princess of Disney (Snow White for example) though that may have been the point it was still annoying, my hands hurt just by looking at her).
Helena Bonham Carter plays a good crazy person. From Bellatrix Lestrange to Mrs. Lovett she really pulls off the "I'm so nucking futs you can't even fathom where my head is when you've got it your hands." Then again she can also pull off sweet motherly type (Mrs. Buckett) in fact the only reason I even knew she played that part is I just looked at her IMDB. The first roll I remember her in was Merlin as Mogan Le Fay (dear God was she made for that roll) so the whole nucking futs bit has been what I've always seen her as. Just saying that as the Red Queen she was magnificent (so stop complaining about Tim Burton overusing her and Johnny Depp, because he's doing it for the good of the project!).

I give this movie 5 out of 5 stars and if it doesn't get at least nominated the Oscar committee is on some nifty drugs.

Back in the swing of things...for now

New semester here I am. While things may still be chaotic (at the best of times) I have the confidence that everything will go if not according to plan at least passable alternatives. I moved, and there is no power/gas at the new place yet. So I'm spent last night and will spend tonight (and possibly tomorrow night) at the old place. Classes so far look great! I have one class left to go to and that is the only class I actually need this semester, unfortunately I'm not actually enrolled in the class yet. The joys of cut classes and such means there weren't enough of this class for everyone who needs it. So here's to keeping my fingers crossed that I can get into it. If I can't I'm thinking of just scrapping this semester and holding off graduating once again. I suppose it is a good thing I haven't actually been accepted to my graduate college of choice as of yet.

Have a nice day and I'll be seeing you again soon I hope. (I will be getting internet at my new place tomorrow it seems! Yay!)

I've been crazy busy lately, I'm in the process of moving and in between terms. Money is tight due to needing a car, life is just complicated right now.

Thoughts for a new story

Well I have a new story starting in my head. It's a horror story. The main character is a librarian, she has recently gotten hired on in a private library that has an extremely high turn over rate. Starting the first day strange stuff happens and it is all rather super natural. I am not entirely sure if and let alone when I am going to write this since I still have NaNo to clean up. I suppose I'll see. Wish I could get away with being a full time writer.

Odd Dreams and Things

Usually I dream vividly last night this was very true of my dream. I am not sure how to interprets said dreams, I'm not even sure if I want to. The first one should never come true, though I woke up this morning with a distinct feeling it already had, thus I shall be doing some research later about that. The second one if it comes true ever I'll be laughing wherever I am when it does. So if you are near me in 30 years or so (whenever Enterprise type ships become real so I probably will be dead), and I start to spontaneously laugh it is because somewhere out there a captain has a wimp for a son and one of the other kids on the ship forces him to get a tattoo to show his manliness and he gets 42 tattooed on his shoulder by some hot nerdy chick on the ship.

It has been a while

I know I know I've been missing for a while here is the reason. I just got into a new relationship, the semester just ended so I want to hang out with my friends/family, and tis the season to be busy!

Short and sweet story:
I went with my bf to see Avatar in 3D, all I have to say is "Oh my GOD that was amazing!" Visually it was like being there (almost, just not being allowed to touch anything, trust me I would specially some of those plants). Pandora is a botanists wet dream. Pandora is an evolutionists wet dream (I still don't think some of those things would evolve like that in a low gravity planet, though it would have to be low gravity for the Hallelujah Mountains to work right). Basically saying my suspension of disbelief died a few times while watching Avatar. It is still curled up in a ball whimpering something about pony tails. /shrug

Next short and not so sweet:
I went with my best friend to see "The Road" I did not go into this movie unprepared. I read the book back before I knew it was going to be made into a movie. When I heard that they were making a movie I nearly started crying then and there because I would actually see what I had barely imagined (to protect my fragile mind). The night I went to see Avatar I saw The Road listed as a playing movie, I about leaped out of my skin (not sure if it was out of happiness or not) and asked my bf if he minded skipping Avatar, we obviously didn't so I went the next day with neinone instead. I gave him a warning, and told him most of the plot, and promised Ice Cream at the end of it.

They did such a good job keeping to the story line, nothing was added only a few of the worst scenes were taken away, and the ones that didn't really matter. Visually it was almost exactly what I had imagined, maybe a little bit cleaner. The trees seemed more abundant than I gave the book when I read it. A nice layer of ash covered everything. A few things to say, if you don't like the idea of cannibalism don't watch the movie (or read the book, especially don't read the book). If you think you can stomach that but not Viggo Mortenson emaciated and naked then don't watch it. It is depressing because it is a post apocalyptic world. Tissues are not necessary, unless you cry really easy (I do and didn't need the tissue, maybe because I was expected it but I don't think that is why).

Next week about Thursday or Wednesday night I will be back from traveling and I'll post again (maybe with a review on Sherlock Holmes).
