ok, also got this book "carpe diem put a little latin in your life" for la mere so she can feel even more superior to the rest of us proles and "lone survivor" for le pere about navy seals who have a bad mission in afghanistan. just hoping he hasn't read it yet. but he often re-reads books without realizing he's read them before, so it probably wouldn't matter anyway
ps ch-ch-charles call me got a gift for esmee and want to double check with you that she doesn't already have it

Get into the holiday spirit...

With the Killers...and possibly a bottle of Jack.

Les Cadeux Pour La Mere

I got the following things for mom from Borders:
Jeeves and Wooster Season 2 (ie the one w/the cow creamer)
Edward Gorey Wall Calendar (she picked it out herself)
The Third Man (she mentioned she wanted it over the summer)
and Finn (a novel). I figure I'll give her the Third Man and the book since she mentioned them to me before, so if either of you two want to give her the calendar or the Wodehouse, let me know.

maybe she could figure out how they made the blood splurt so far

So I saw Sweeny Todd (Demon Barber of Fleet Street). the sub-title pretty much says it all. If you want to see a movie about a murderous singing-barber with LOTS (and I mean lots) of bright red blood that kinda looks like paint, then this is movie for you. If you do not care to see a movie where there is an entire song where all Johnny Depp does is slit people's throats then this is perhaps not so much for you. The acting really was superb and the music is kinda awesome (its mostly singing and not much spoken dialogue). pLus the costumes and settings and all the freaky-pale make-up = awesomeness. oh and sacha baron cohen, brief lived but great, also odd to hear him speaking in a normal British accent for a bit. You tend to forget that he is just a nice Brit-boy really (albeit a freakishly tall one). I love Helena Bonham Carter always, and her costumes were just so cool. So, its like that time period thats my favorite and very awesome to look at but me and N and K were all shrieking with every slit throat. Johnny was fantastic as is to be expected. I thought the movie was great, but don't go see it if you want a happy story. Things pretty much don't really end well for anyone exactly (what with most people dying horrible horrible deaths and all). Oh and Johnny sings to his razor blade that its his faithful friend. creeptastic.
