Sweeney Todd, Laurie Notaro, and Exes and Ohs

May 23, 2008 22:45

Hi, I'm back and I saw a really interesting movie last night that caused odd dreams. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. I don't know if there was a specific point to it because if I'm honest I don't usually get the concepts of things most of the time, usually goes over my head, but what I got from it was that revenge ends in tragedy, if there was anything else then I can't specifically spell it out. But it was odd, I don't know if I actually liked it or not, the whole thing about them cooking the murder victims into the pies was slightly disturbing, but I've read worse, and the blood squirting was a little pink. I don't really have anything else. As for the dreams I had last night, well I screamed at my mother to not eat Mrs. Lovett's meat pies, and then Mr. Todd offered to give me a 'shave' or spread jam over my toast, such a tough decision, jam or death (like cake or death;p), pretty sure I chose the jam but others chose the shave and died.

Anyway, have I mentioned how much Laurie Notaro makes me giggle? So I now have read all her books and awaiting her next one (The Flaming Tantrum) which comes out next month. If you haven't read any of her books, I highly recommend them, and this is the list, The Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club, Autobiography of a Fat Bride, I Love Everybody (and other atrocious lies), We Thought You Would Be Prettier, An Idiot Girl's Christmas, and her fictional novel, There's a (slight) Chance I might Be Going to Hell.

We had chess again and so I went to pick up my book that I ordered (The Hypochondriac's Pocket Guide to Horrible Diseases You Probably Already Have)and ordered Exes and Ohs Season One since they didn't have a copy in the store, hopefully that comes in soon, can't wait to get that. And then finally I get to go back to work tomorrow, so I'm going to have to go to sleep for now, night.
