Does anybody have Iced Earth's "Dracula" and "Phantom Opera Ghost"?
Also Brand New's "Sic Transit Gloria"?
And Evanescence's "Even In Death"?
I HATE Ruckus.

Holy shit. Saw Hard Candy last night with some friends and, wow...I can see why the audience had mixed reactions.
Spoilers under the cut--I know a lot of people who want to see this and haven't yet.
( Who do you want to fuck first, me, or the knife? )
Hard Candy is so intense, and terrifying that the audience does not know who to root for--the girl hell-bent on vengance, to the point that she throws aside all sanity, or the man who is tortured by past deeds, and has so far escaped judgement and punishment.
In the end, there is no hero, and no villian, and all the film's a shade of grey.

EEEEEE! The DVD of Phantom is coming out April 28th! THANK GOD. I could not have waited until 2006, I would have gone insane and kicked off to the big opera house in the sky.
Okay...I have not yet written the next part of Unspoken Secrets, There's No Returning My Blood.
I spent a ton of today studying my Anatomy for the exam on Tuesday, and so I was totally worn out by the time I came home for work. But I do have a strong sense of the story, and I should have it written tommrrow, although I may not be able to post it til late that night, as I have to work from 3-9.
Oh! Today at work, I lost like, 6 quarts of blood. No kidding. Why, you ask? Well, contrary to popular belief, I was not juggling knives, threatening an assassin, or attempting to resurrect the Witch of the Golden Pond. (Don't ask). My nose bled for an hour and a half today. Because of that, I don't feel so hot.
Okay, actually I feel very warm, and I think I'll be going to bed soon. But you know what I mean.
In the meantime...Finding Neverland has finally shown up around here, and I'm going to see it with a friend on Sunday. We'll just pretend I haven't seen it twice already, shall we?
And I believe I have found a writer better than Gaston Leroux. You can find her in my memories, and she has written The Phantom of the Opera from Christine's point of view, which is very different. Needless to say, Christine and Erik wind up together. But this woman has an excellent grasp of the Victorian tongue, and I suggest you read it even if you're only interested in Victorian culture.

Yeah. So...I just saw Alexander. OMG! The first, wide-released, canonical slash movie ever. Excuse me while I hyperventilate.
*Breathes in on advice of her therapist*
That's better now. Okay, this movie was just...amazing, and horrible, and beautiful all at once.
So...my lj cut...( Of_Pretty_Boys_and_Beautiful_Men )
All in all? A movie I recommend, but only to those with enough guts to do a little research about Alexander beforehand.

Nov. 5th, 2004 10:31 amWell, I'm up to date on my novel, I've got a job in a coffee shop that starts Monday, and I have a photoshoot in NB on Sunday. Life is good.
Really, there's not too much to report.
Except! Go read A Love Divine by Alexandra Ripley. It's about Joseph of Arimathea. No, not that Joseph. This is the guy who gave his tomb to the Messiah when he was laid to rest.
It's really good. I highly recommend it.
