I think that Johnny Depp is easily one of the most talented actors out there right now. He’s been in countless movies with each role more interesting and less expected than the one before. It’s hard for me to pick a single favorite movie moment of him.

I think that his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy is one of my favorite roles he’s taken, but of the three movies I think I’ll always most enjoy the scene in of the first of the three films, Curse of the Black Pearl, where he’s stuck on an island with Elizabeth Swann. He wakes up the next morning to a fire and discovers that she’s used the rum to fuel the fire. The line that always gets me is “But why is the rum gone?” I think this moment is most memorable just because of the way hilarious way he delivered the line.

I think my other favorite movie moment would have to be from Edward Scissorhands where Johnny Depp played the character by the same name as the movie. I’ve always adored this movie because it had such a surreal feeling to it, and, surprisingly, Johnny Depp really didn’t seem to have a lot of lines, yet I think that was what made the character so endearing. I think my favorites moments are the awkward ones when Edward is just trying to do something completely normal, like get dressed, take a drink or eat his food. The whole movie is about a man who is just trying to fit in, and while it’s entertaining to see him struggle with every day tasks, it’s also a bit sad and disheartening when you look at the bigger picture. Yet Edward almost seems unfazed by it.

I really don’t think that I could narrow down my favorite movies between those two movies. Just narrowing it down to two was hard enough in of itself. Now with Johnny Depp’s latest role in the movie Sweeney Todd, I’m sure that it’s going to be, no doubt, yet another fascinating role. Just from seeing the trailer, I can tell that it’s gong to be quite interesting. If you haven’t already heard about it or seen the trailer then you should most definitely either visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace or visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site to find out more!

The end of NaNoWriMo is so close, and I’m so close to finishing. Yet it seems so far away. A chapter and a half shouldn’t be this hard to finish. Really. It’s ridiculous. My plan is to finish Chapter 19 before I leave for class today. Then tomorrow will be dedicated to writing Chapter 20. I want to be done by midnight tomorrow. Then I’ll have met my personal goal for the whole thing. I just hope I can focus and tie things up the way I’ve been thinking of them in my head. It always seems so much easier in my head. Then I go to write it down and it just seems to become a struggle. Oddly enough, I’ve found that writing things out by hand has helped a lot. I didn’t think it would, but maybe it’s because there are less distractions when I’m tucked away in my bedroom and I don’t think about looking up something on the internet or talking to friends.

I am so ridiculously tired tonight. I think I might be coming down with something. This morning my stomach was killing me. I couldn’t even eat anything. I went to class anyway. We were working on stuff for our final projects and I really couldn’t afford to miss it. I went to Taco Bell for dinner, and I was surprised I was actually able to eat without feeling sick. But now my back is bothering me. I just feel so insanely tired. I’d love to just crawl into bed, but I still have half of a chapter I need to finish tonight. I’m not sure if it’s going to happen or not. Here’s hoping.

I forgot to mention in my post about Thanksgiving that my uncle said that his [soon to be ex] wife took mushrooms and almost died. I don’t know exactly what happened, but she’s really such an idiot. I can’t even begin to explain. She really needs to go to drug rehab and get her life together, but I’m not sure that she ever will. I don’t think she ever progressed past the age of 17. She still acts like a kid. I can’t understand people. I really can’t.

Man, I feel like I could use a vacation after the Thanksgiving. I’m still trying to recover. I’ve been achy and tired since I went shopping with my mom on Black Friday. Not to mention my sleeping patterns have been thrown completely off whack. I have no idea how I’m going to get back to normal now.

Right about now I would love to go on one of those tropical cruises and spend a few days relaxing. It’s cold and dreary outside here, and you can just sense that winter is right around the corner.

As much as I love Christmas, I hate the cold. More specifically, I hate snow. I hate driving in it. I hate walking in it. I just assume we not have any at all. I suppose I’d have to move elsewhere before that wish ever comes true.

I went shopping with my mom this morning. I got up four, and we left as twenty til five. People are crazy, but it wasn’t as bad as I expected. I got the bulk of my shopping done. I still have to buy for my mom, but I think I’m going to order hers online.

I’m still in recovery from eating so much yesterday, and I just ate another plate full of food today. After we got home from shopping, I went back to bed. I slept from around ten until five. We were talking yesterday about how tired we all were after eating, and my mom said the couch needs foot rests so we can all lie back and take a nap.

I think that maybe investing in some discount home theater seating wouldn’t be a bad idea. Of course, I don’t know that it would give us anymore seating space than we have now, but at least we could kick back and nap after stuffing out faces.
