Do you even know I exist?


SO

Today Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is coming out!!! HOORAY!!! Acutally, it came out yesterday at 8pm. This is the fact that is killing me. I really wanted to go yesterday, but yesterday I was very sick, and of the 24 hours that were in the day yesterday, I slept for 16.5 of them. Its very important to me to make it to the opening day of a film that I am very excited about. Its all about making sure the numbers are awesome for the films you love. Gawain and I aren't the only people this matters to. I've had a friend who refused to go to the opening weekend of Star Wars episode 3 just to punish George Lucas for what a horrible job he did on episode 2. I know. Its a weird twisted world I live in. Even weirder than making sure I count in the tally of big opening weekends is my desire to dress up in the appropriate attire to match some movies. For instance, I would totally love to dress up as a pirate wench to go to the movies tonight.

Instead, I have a pirate shirt and a pirate ring I got from disney world that I will be wearing instead.
Other movies I have dressed up for would be Coyote Ugly my sis and I dressed up like bottle tossing skank whores saw the movie the opening day of the film.


Charle's Angels, my 4 roommates and I dressed up like crime fighting skank whores.


The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions my guyfriend and I dressed up like Trinity and Morpheous (which was weird for him since he is white and Morpheous is not). We saw both movies at the Midnight showing opening day.

I also wore a Star Wars shirt and did my hair like Princess Leia for the opening of Starwars:Episode 3. Also a midnight viewing of the show the opening day, in fact we went again at the 1030am showing the same day to watch it again.



In the end, does it even matter that I dress up? Does it matter I go the first day instead of the 15th day a film is out? To me it TOTALLY does! I just hope that the movie people recognize!!!



ps: Doesn't Johnny Depp look yummy in that "pirates" movie poster?

Beginnings - A slight introduction


You may be asking yourself, "How and why does this all begin?" Well, let me give you at least the beginning of an answer. Firstly, Vesper was inspired by Isabel's blog. Secondly, I have dabbled a bit in the past and have been intrigued by blogging myself for quite some time. So, we're excited to start a little blog of our own with our little guy Froggy pitching in from time to time. (He's always talking about how he is ready for the big time)
It'll be interesting to see what kind of journal/venting grounds this place will become. Will we stay interested enough to post on any sort of regular basis? Will we remember the noteworthy things in our life? Will anyone else will read/identify with our blog? Do we care? Should we care?
I'm not sure exactly how Vesper plans to use this spot, but I'm sure that I will mostly talk about music, movies, life, and my response to them. For instance, the Namesake is sometime moving but overall rambling and under delivering film. View in the theater at your own risk, rent at your discretion. I am currently very much into the Greek new wave group Marsheaux and find their musical arrangements charged with electricity, but their singing somewhat disappointing. They are at their best covering or remixing songs, but their own material is still great. Certainly worth a listen if you are into early 80's post disco electro-pop. (Why anyone should care what I think of anything is very good question in and of itself. But since this is partially my blog I think that the answer can and should be that I do and that should be enough.)
I'm fairly sure that you'll enjoy Vesper's posts much more than my own since she is a better person and writer than I am. Hopefully Froggy will treat us and chime in from time to time.
