Just simply taking a short break from my last-minute Ohayocon preparations. 1stAgent and a bunch of us from here in Green Bay are going to depart for the fun in Columbus, Ohio tomorrow night at 9. There will be much rejocing. _________________ I'm not sure about people, anymore. They're responsible for some pretty nutty stuff. Individuals I'm crazy about though.

I truly did not want to go to Ohayocon.
Don't see what the appeal of going to like eight cons in a year is, and especially those huge ones, yuck. _________________ omgwtfcat is my friend. |

I usually only go to 2-3 cons a year (with one of the being NoBrand Con, of course). Half the reason I'm even going to begin with is that UW-GB's pretty much got our con pass and hotel room expenses covered. The other half is that I just need toget the heck out of dodge for a few days. _________________ I'm not sure about people, anymore. They're responsible for some pretty nutty stuff.

There's a problem with my Mrs. Lovett cosplay already.
Kori says no sex if I wear it.

Finally got to see it last night, and absolutely loved it. Sam pointed out to me that the first dress you see her in actually isn't a dress at all: it's layers of petticoats and corsetry, so she's essentially wearing underpinnings as an outfit. _________________ Here we are.

Eh - I've seen it on stage, I don't really need to see a version with all the light hearted parts cut out.

I thought it was very well done but did not enjoy it because it was sooooooo serious. For some reason I was expecting more of a "Yay, murder!" type of movie than how dismal and gruesome it was. _________________ mrow *purr* |

I've only seen it on stage, but my sister (who is a big fan of the original play) said that most of the scenes with daughter and the sailor got cut -- which are essential to lightening up the story. Without them, it devolves from a black comedy into a horror film, y'know? _________________ Why aren't you reading UnCONventional (the awesome comic) yet? |

oh, i'm sure i don't.
the thing is, if you do your cosplay i won't see it because i'm 90% sure i won't be attending NBC this year. in June i'm going to vegas for my friend's wedding (i'm the MoH) and since that's going to be costing me a pretty penny, i really can't go spending a lot this year. |

To quote the great Bertolt Brecht, "Na und?"
Maybe it was a horror movie, but as a horror movie connoisseur it was a hell of a damn horror movie, and the only horror musical that I can think of. I thought it was great. _________________ It'd be cool if you checked out my band.

And I definitely know people who sound like that, so don't be all judgemental. Watch it for the ridiculousness of the beauty pageant, not for the MN jokes. _________________ mrow *purr* |
