vivienHoo boy, was Pirates of the Caribbean a good flick. I truly enjoyed it and not just in a fun summer flick way. It was good! The story was cool, the acting lovely, and the costumes and effect were excellent. And the ships - they were real ships. I've got a thing for the old sailing ships - must've been a sailor in a past life.
Um, and I also have a thing for Johnny Depp. Loved this character, by the way. My favorite of course, good hearted villain. Mmmmm, Johnny Depp sword fighting, Johnny Depp in mascara, Johnny Depp in 18th century clothing. I have loved him in every movie I've ever seen him in. You know the love scene in Benny and Joon - gives me shivers. And then there's Ed Wood where he is just so darn earnest. And Edward Scissorhands - sigh. So Johnny Depp = yummy with a spoon.
I also have a thing for late 18th century fashion. One of my favorite Halloween costumes was when I went as Mozart (a very feminine Mozart, mind you) in college. Somethin' about those tights and jackets. And then the women's fashions: gimme the corset, baby, with the panniers, heaped high wigs, and Watteau drapes. Watching Dangerous Liaisons gives me a fashion-gasm. It's the whole past life thing, I imagine.
We had the best dinner - a pasta and cream sauce with mostly organic ingredients from the Farmer's Market. Portobellos, spinach pasta, a fresh green salad. So delicious. And tomorrow we have homemade pirogis to feast upon. Love pirogis. Actually any kind of dumpling is a favorite of mine.
Does anyone know how to get rid of the evil pop up ads that flash onto the middle of your screen and have addresses which lead you to icky sites instead of the pop up killer sites? They are making me slowly insane. Regular pop ups are blocked but these get through.
Ok, off to watch the History Channel (Saving Our History)
