I'm back...and missing Hugh
New York has stolen my mind!
1~ I saw The Boy from Oz not expecting much but wanting to see, what was to me at that time, Wolverine/Van Helsing sing and prance around. Now, I've seen Broadway shows, most recently Beauty and the Beast, Phantom of the Opera, Oklahoma (the American version sans Hugh--phooiey!), and The Producers. This one was undoubtedly the best. Hugh Jackman owns that show--why do they have to stop in September before I could go see it again?
One of my newest obsessions:
And I got a t-shirt and program and magazine... :)
2~ BUT when I heard rumours that Hugh came out the stage door and talked to people after the shows, I couldn't stay because the family member picking us up forbade me to! Then, dragged me through the pouring rain to catch a bus we missed anyway. I could have gotten a better pic of Hugh Jackman but alas... I did end up seeing some guy from "Average Joe" as I left but I don't even like reality TV!
3~ If I'd arrived ONE day earlier I could have seen Elvis Costello in concert! At Lincoln Center no less, a hop skip and jump away from where I was staying. Boo-hoo!! But I went to Lincoln Center and hoarded all the brochures for their "2004 Festival" because it they had pictures in them, and they were lonely (you know how that is, Andrea). :p I also got the display window copy of the special little Elvis book they had for promotion!
Look at the brochure picture I "stole".
Isn't he just so pretty??? (Hmm..I don't think I've ever said that before.)
4~ Went to see another musical, Nathan Lane in "The Frogs", having nothing else better to do. Someone must have turned in their tickets cos I ended up with front row center! Now, that was cool and I like Nathan Lane well enough, but needless to say he's no Hugh Jackman. I could barely make out the details of Hugh's face, but yet I end up being able to see Nathan Lane's pores. ARGH! (I was so close he almost spit on me! Nathan Lane that is, not Hugh. Sigh.)
Let's see, I think that's everything of note. I'll probably blab more later.
Post-Broadway depression: something I never quite thought I'd have!
I miss Hugh. sniffle. (And Elvis, who I never even saw in person.)

Bye for now!
I'm fairly sure this will be my last post before I'm off to New York City for a week! The only drawback of this vacation is the airports. Honestly, I'm practically an airport veteran, but that doesn't mean I have to like them.
And, I have to take a connecting flight at Dulles Airport--which is definitely nowhere near New York. I think I'll amuse myself by imitating the CIA agent in Tom Robbins's Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates, and spit every time I have to say "John Foster Dulles" (the CIA agent didn't agree with some political things the guy did--I don't care about that very much, I'm just amusing myself.)
And the tiresome airport security...sigh. Though last year I decided that I'd get a job as an airport security guard (or security guard anywhere a thorough inspection is required) if I knew Justin Hayward was coming. OR...
See the guard frisk Johnny...uh, I mean, Gene Watson...in Nick of Time?
Why can't I do that? You'd have the perfect excuse--"I'm searching for harmful objects, sir. Oh, your belt buckle is metal, sir, please undo it. Ah, so is the button on your trousers (Justin's favourite word)--undo that also, please." And then..."I don't think you have anything dangerous, but please come into the private inspection room, sir..." And then, two hours later... "I was wrong--you have a very dangerous object, sir--it could cause serious damage to our impressionable female airline passengers. I'm afraid you can't go on your flight with that. You'll have to, uh, leave it here...Well, seeing as how you can't really do that, you will have to stay here. With me. I mean, uh, with the police."
So..this is me right now: 
But Johnny hates flying in the first place--after all, he randomly yells on airplanes if he has the sensation that something bad might happen--so I'd probably traumatize him.
See him jump off the balcony just to get away from me? (Um, just ignore Christopher Walken in the background there...) 
So, with respect for Johnny's health, I suppose I'll reserve my airport antics for
Justin, who's an airport veteran, much as I am. (And he is saying... "Are you sure this is standard procedure?"

Lulu's lines
I'm trying a new meme here. You complete the sentence they give you, or something to that effect.
#36. The night sky...
...is undoubtedly beautiful, but so much the more when a person as beautiful as Justin Hayward stands in front of it.
And, he even makes a fake night sky look pretty.
Now I have to go watch some weird show- Johnny Depp "A2Z". The people commenting seem really obnoxious but I don't really care. I should be preparing for my vacation (Wheee!) which is in one week, but, again, I don't care. :)

Theater Thursday
I meant to do this yesterday, BUT, the dsl...grr.. (need I say more?)
So, here's a late quiz that I shouldn't do because everyone that reads this who knows me will already know these answers. So, I'll use pics to illustrate it and make it more interesting.
This week its all about your favorites.
1. If you could watch only one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I'll have to say this one
because it's hilarious. (Pirates of the Caribbean.) I could never watch a serious or depressing movie for the rest of my days, so as Depp flicks go Mexico is out--and so is Sleepy Hollow because Christopher Walken scares me.
2. What is your absolute favorite movie soundtrack?
A tie between the same movie as the one listed above, Mexico, Almost Famous, and A Knight's Tale.
3. What's your favorite movie-time snack?
 This with chocolate syrup. :p
..Oh..I mean, uh, popcorn. Yes. Popcorn.
4. Favorite Actor:
It used to be George Clooney and Bruce Willis but now...
This is tooo easy. But then, I think that's why I'm doing it. (The Depp.)
5. Favorite Actress:
This is actually not so easy. I need to think about that, but who has that kind of time? So I'm going to go with Sandra Bullock. Most of the time, she plays characters that I actually like and can relate to. That's more than can be said for most.
6. And last but not least, what is your favorite kind of movie: comedy, drama, action...etc.,???
I do love drama for the movies that are deep and psychological but, I have a weakness for comedies.
So I prefer stuff like this
 (dancing with bread and ironing grilled cheeses) -Benny & Joon
over this
 (drug busts and lives that just get worse and worse).
-Blow

I've been Depped!
I dreamed that I updated this blog...guess that means I should do it in real life, huh? But then, I also dreamed about snogging Don Juan Demarco, so what do I know?
The 4th of July was full of fireworky fun, but basically the rest of the day consisted of me wearing my new sunglasses and bugging my friend with, "Hey, I'm Agent Sands! Look, I have no eyes!"
So instead of posting something patriotic here (and I'm not feelin' too patriotic after watching Fahrenheit 9/11), I'm going to post some eye-candy, in the form of my favourite Johnny Depp movie characters.
1. Agent Sands (preferably with eyes)
2. Mort Rainey (cos who wouldn't want to come home and find this on your couch??)
3. Jack Sparrow (you gotta love the kohl)
4. Ichabod Crane (he's so cute 'n' pathetic)

Watch "The Young Ones", 80's BBC show, and wish they'd made more than 12 episodes.
Drool over wonderful King of America cover.
Kidnap Elvis AND Justin Lodgey AND Paul to preserve sanity and ward off post-concert depression.
Pretty much try to stay in a constant state of confusion (like Johnny Depp) just because of the expression it leaves on my face.
Protest War
(feeling a little ambitious, are we?)
