View Article  Swooning Over Johnny Depp

I love Johnny Depp. There's something so charismatic about him! I love his movies, especially the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie and Finding Neverland. They were do different, but so "Johnny"!

In Finding Neverland Johnny Depp plays a Scottish playwright named J.M. Barrie who is looking for some inspiration. He unexpectedly finds himself entwined with a family with a widowed woman and four fatherless children, and the story blossoms from there. Some of my favorite quotes include: "Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he's *just* a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That's like saying, "He can't climb that mountain, he's just a man", or "That's not a diamond, it's just a rock." Just." and, "  Young boys should never be sent to bed... they always wake up a day older."

Then you have the Pirates of the Caribbean, Curse of the Black Pearl movie. I just adore Deep's character, Jack Sparrow. He's sarcastic, out for #1 the whole time, and is uncharacteristically klutzy for a pirate!... There are a ton of great quotes from that movie as well, but I think one of my favorite scenes was when these words were uttered:

Jack Sparrow: [to Weatherby Swann] I think we've all arrived at a very special place. Spiritually, ecumenically, grammatically.
Jack Sparrow: I want you to know that I was rooting for you. Know that.
[to Commodore Norrington]
Jack Sparrow: Elizabeth... it would never have worked between us darling. I'm sorry... Will... nice hat. Friends... This is the day that you will ALWAYS remember as the day that you...
[backs up and trips over ledge]

Both of these movies are so different, but I'd have to say that my favorite part would be the one in Pirates of the Caribbean. I'll take humor over serious any day!

I'm super excited to see the new Johnny Depp movie, Sweeney Todd. I can't wait to see what he brings to his character in this film! I have to visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site soon and play around with all the information they have over there. You can also visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace and see what's going on. Tons of Sweeney Todd information is available!

Have you seen the trailers for the new Tim Burton film, Sweeny Todd? It's looks great! I went to visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site and, in true Tim Burton style, this looks like a really unique movie! I also got to visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace which was pretty cool to.

There's a great site related to the movie where you can confess past acts of revenge. You can call in, write, or video your confessions about past acts of revenge and then you get your very own "I Confess" badge when you're done, sort of like a bade of honor .  I went on the site to see what people had to say, and I was pretty surprised by what people will admit to!

I have my past too, but I don't think that I'd take a video of myself admitting to a lot of it! I would, however, admit that when I was younger, my friend and I broke into the Jr. High-school and let all of the animals in the science room out of their cages. It was wild! Way more chaotic than I thought it was going to be, that's for sure. We didn't put them back in to their cages before leaving (what would have been the fun in that?) so the next day when the teachers came in there were guinea pigs, birds, ducks, rabbits, and snakes throughout the room! We were never caught, but I was always afraid that they'd figure out it was us someday. Ahhh, see now? I feel relieved that I got that out. Maybe you should head over there and do some confessing of your own!

View Article  Free St. Augustine Artwalk

It's almost time for the First Friday Weekend Artwalk!

Have you heard about the St. Augustine Artwalk yet? During the first weekend of every month lies the chance for a self-guided tour through St. Augustine to look at all the great artwork. Galleries remain open and you can walk the streets looking at everything from photography, architecture, print work... There's live music to enjoy and snacks to eat, as well as the ever-popular people watching, LOL!

I haven't been yet but Sean and I are planning to go with Ian the first weekend of December. I want to do something different and this event seems to be something that all of us will enjoy! They offer free parking and free sightseeing trolley tours that I know Ian will love and, truth be told, so will I. The last time I went to St. Augustine I only got the chance to see half of the town, and that was just not enough for me! This time I hope to learn even more about its history and see some art from the Floridians in the northern part of the state!

I'm going to try and get my parents to come too. They love St. Augustine and the art, so this even will be perfect for them!

View Article  New York City Discounts

I have a friend who lives in New York City. I mean, right in the city! I'm always jealous when I talk to her because she's mentioning "The Met", or The Museum of Natural History like it's just your every-day landmark. I mean, let's face it; Florida may have some beautiful beaches, but it isn't so hot when it comes to culture!

My friend is a mom of three so I know that doing all of the 'touristy' stuff in the city can be expensive! I want to do something nice and family oriented for her for the holidays, and I think I found just the thing: A New York CityPass!

Confused yet? The New York CityPass is this great booklet that includes a ticket to The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the new Greek and Roman galleries (which I know she hasn't seen yet), Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Guggenheim Museum and the American Museum of Natural History. They even include a trip to the top of the Empire State Building Observatory and tour of the Manhattan skyline from the water aboard a Circle Line Sightseeing Cruise which I know her kids would enjoy! The booklet has a map, some public transportation information and insider tips on the best time to visit each attraction which is great, but I don't think she's going to need that information, LOL!

It's low-cost too: $65 for adults and $49 for children aged 12-17. That's 50% off the combined admission price! At those prices I may be able to buy some for her whole family!
