Everyone I Ever Was and Everyone I Ever Will Be

Okay, this can definitely be filed under "Weirdest Thing I've Seen All Day". No, maybe all week. Month. Get ready for this idea---

Silence of the Lambs: The Musical

I am not kidding here, people.

And I, warped little psycho that I am, want to see this so bad. Seriously. Now. Because as soon as I heard about this from my father I got this mental image in my head of an ensemble number at the beginning of the show of Hall and Oates's "Maneater", and I'm still giggling.

For some reason, I've had the songs from Titanic: The Musical stuck in my head all day. lol So once I got home, I put on the soundtrack.

I loved being in that show. I'd hang around after my rehearsals were done just to hear Barrett's Song again, or The Proposal/The Night Was Alive. My favorite parts were Ida and Isidor Strauss, though the three Kates were great, too. :-)

I played Eleanor Widener, and as for who played George Widener-- Chris. When we got engaged, we started joking that the director was precognitive.

I got the free author copies of We Were Strangers in the mail today!!! Ohhh, it is *so* surreal to hold an actual copy of our book.

And, I signed my first book autograph! A lady at the college ordered one, so mom brought it home for me to sign. *G*

On a side note, this makes me happy:

Though, what's with all the England productions? First One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, now this... How about a couple of *Kansas* productions?? Anybody? Hello?

*crickets chirp*

Ah well. Will continue to hope for DVDs.

Just got the latest edition of Sci-Fi magazine! (Hugh Jackman on the cover, happy am I)

The interview with him and some of his costars was sooo fun...he seems like a really nice guy and I hope I get a chance to see The Boy From Oz (my boyfriend and I are heading to Vermont sometime this summer, wishing for a day-trip to NYC in the bargain) lol Actually, I just want to be in the Van Helsing sequel. I would have way too much fun. *G* As for right now, though, I'll just have to content myself with cybercasting him in another one of my upcoming novels. Heh.

And they had an interview with Vin Diesel, too, about The Chronicles of Riddick, which I'm definitely looking forward to-- I loved Pitch Black. And it was so nice to see some press on him that for once wasn't negative. So many reporters seem to be entertaining themselves by poking fun at him or his movies...and granted, a couple of his films I wasn't really enamored of, but he seems to have a good sense of humor, doesn't take himself too seriously, and I like that. And apparently he's also a sci-fi/fantasy fan, too, which is always a point in my book. lol

Oh! And speaking of actors... someone who hadn't really been on my radar before but definitely is now: Joaquin Phoenix. I'd seen him in Signs and really liked his character, but I'd missed things like Inventing the Abbotts and so he was kinda in the background. Then I (finally, I know I'm out of the loop) saw Gladiator last week.

*Man*. Don't get me wrong, Russell Crowe was good in it, but I thought Joaquin Phoenix just stole the movie.

So now there's someone else I need to start keeping track of. And more older films to grab.

Not that you'll find me complaining about that. ;-)
