Much to talk about.
Finding Neverland. Such a heart-warming movie. A bit on the shorter side, though. The other Oscar contenders were soo freakin long!! But I don't know with Sideways since I haven't watched it yet. Johnny Depp is gorgeous when his hair is a slicked back...but unfortunately, that's not usually the case in this movie. But he was good in this movie. (Well, duh! That's why he was nominated for Best Actor!!). Kate Winslet was great here too...and what's really shocking is how good Freddie Highmore (who plays the young boy, Peter) acts at such a young age.
If you didn't know, this movie is the story of J.M. Barrie's friendship with a family who inspired him to create Peter Pan. It's really such a nice movie...but you already know when you see it and see the other movies that were up for Best Picture that it doesn't really stand a chance. But it is such a nice movie...and you should watch it. I liked it more than Million Dollar Baby.

Hangaroo. It's an addiction. To play, click here. My seatmates in the Computer room were all playing it...and since my computer took too long to load, I just played it here in the house. And guessing is just fun.
American Idol. It's only today that I realized Mario Vasquez sounds like Michael Jackson...and he's good. Kiki was playing the Do I Do over and over and over! Also, watched the new episode this afternoon. I was blown away by Nikko Smith's Georgia on My Mind...and for me, the best performance was by Anwar Robinson and his What a Wonderful World rendition. My bet's on Anwar to win!
The Beatles. I have promised to myself that the next few CDs I will buy will all be from the Beatles...and I will punish myself if I don't keep that promise. Well...I've no money right now to buy CDs anyway.
Elyse. Believe me when I say this...Elyse Sewell from America's Next Top Model actually has a blog (live journal). And it's real. She's not a poser at all! You can tell 'cause she has real pics and the way she writes is very much like her. Witty, intelligent, and with hints of sarcasm. She's actually in Hong Kong right now. Click.
I gotta go. I still have to work on some stuff for our AP presentation on imperialism in Thailand.
