It’s Been Awhile…Ca Va?

Ok, so I know it’s been awhile since I posted anything, why? I went to France. I mean, I’m still in France, but I don’t have a lot of free time to do things like write blog posts. I’m staying with another family for three months, meaning I’ll be back in Canada on May 5th. Not that anyone really cares, just saying.

I want to make a video for my family and friends and post it on YouTube so they can all see, but I am a bit reluctant to because that would be difficult to explain, why I’m sitting in my room talking to my camera. I don’t actually speak French, just so you know. That’s the point of this whole thing. And of course culture and experience.

On a completely different note, a WHILE ago, charlie2288 posted the best bits of Dara and Karman as well, so I’ll put them up here too. I think the ones of Jill and Bridget are better, but they also have more quotable quotes I think. Although I do love Dara’s “Everybody Poops” comment.

So there’s those… Also, a really cool video about the upcoming presidential election in the United States was made by MC Jew C and Lil’ Mitzvah so I thought I’d post that too…

 

I think that’s it… If I think of something else I’ll post it… I’m seeing Sweeney Todd for the 3rd time on Wednesday (in French, but still, the songs are in English). I HATE horror films and am scarred for life everytime I watch one. This is no ordinary horror film though. If you haven’t seen it, see it now. Immediately. Toute suite. Alrighty, Au revior.

Helena Bonham Carter and Some More Jill

I saw the new Tim Burton film Sweeney Todd yesterday. I thought it was amazing film and the blood and gore (which I usually don’t like) didn’t bother me much. What really caught my attention was the beautiful and talented Helena Bonham Carter playing Mrs. Lovett. I realized she was Bellatrix in the fifth Harry Potter movie and said Hey! I remember now! then I went home and my father had bought my Fight Club in which she plays Marla Singer. It was quite the Helena past couple of days and I have come to really like her.

In other news, the new online series 3Wayabout a straight woman living with her lesbian roommate and her girlfriend and her ex, launched it’s website. I am excited for this to start because Jill Bennett is in it as Roxie’s girlfriend. In the promotional pictures she looks quite cute. On the site, there are different posters for each character with quotes.  It also stars Maeve Quinlan, Cathy Shim and Maile Flanagan. It looks like it will be really funny and worth seeing. The episodes will be posted online and they will be about seven minutes long. There will also be confessionals posted by the characters.
