sundries

- The fashionable dislike of musicals that comes up every time there's a new flm musical seems especially surreal when directed at Sweeney Todd. LIke the distressing content is that there are _songs_.

- Percolating the LJ Idol entry, but have been too tired to write it yet.

- Fencing tonight.

- Awoken by horrible construction involving the SAWING OF METAL outside my window.

- Watching my Amazon rankings is making me stupider.

Well, it's a well known fact that musicals are gay. That's more appalling than anything. Especially when there's sausages involved!

/so going to hell for this one

The only discord I've heard about Sweeney Todd is that Johnny Depp attempts to sing.

Newsweek said the trailer didn't even have snippets of songs...?

They also loved it.

Utterly barely. I didn't think I was that interested until EVERYONE I KNOW sent me the video of Alan Rickman as Judge Turpin murmuring about porn.

I'm so looking forward to Sweeney Todd! It's amazing that people are so annoyed by musicals. I heart musicals.

Watching my Amazon rankings is making me stupider.

LOL. I imagine it's hard NOT to check them obsessively.

That's exactly it. I don't like musicals because people sing their lines. Its just something that never appealed to me when I'm watching film or stage productions. The content of the film isn't the issue, its the busting into song thing.

I was wondering, if you like, I can ask the meetup members and party attendee's to add reviews to your amazon listing.

That would be awesome! Who of the many HP meetup folks are you so I can friend you back while also having a brain in my head?

huh? Are you asking who of us from Meetup are on LJ? ;-)

Um, not many actually.

I will talk to Marci about putting together a post to our mailing list encouraging those who have bought / read your book to write a review for it =)

Thank you. And no, I meant (unclearly) who are you specifically?

lol

I am sorry, I take the internet for granted sometimes.

I am Jon. I am one of the Assistant Organizers. We have met on a couple of occasions.

Ah, cool and awesome, I have added you back.
