Demon Barbers and Flat Screen TVs
Nov. 9th, 2007 05:40 pmIt was with no small amount of glee that Tery delivered the latest "Entertainment Weekly" to me, due mostly to it having this to say for itself on the cover:
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Don't get me wrong, I like Johnny just fine, and I want to see this movie so badly I can taste it. However, my excitement was amped up several notches when I spied this photo inside:
Demon Barber with unsuspecting (but thoroughly delicious) evil Judge Turpin
You'd think that, with a half-page photo of him, the article would at least allude at some point to Alan Rickman. You would be wrong. Plenty about what it's like to work with Tim Burton's lovecat Helena Bonham Carter, and even Sacha Baron "who cares it's only Borat" Cohen, but about my beautiful, beautiful, underrated and underused man, not a peep. Tery told me "not everyone thinks he's as hot as you do." She obviously hasn't read Salon.com's "Sexiest Men Living" picks; he's not the highest ranking, but they have this to say about him: "there's just something about the man that's smart and complicated and tender and a little dangerous that makes your mind start wandering into filthy corners while you're sitting there, innocently trying to watch a "Harry Potter" movie with your kids." Oh yes. This picture of him makes me want to lick his beard stubble.
At the very least, I'm hoping this movie will lend some cachet to the Cruella de Vil skunk stripe again, so I can be the height of fashion.

My employer is offering a 2-week production bonus that includes a drawing for the grand prize of a 42" Phillips Flat Panel TV and a second prize of a 160GB iPod. I suppose the iPod would be nice, but man, I would LOVE that TV. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted it so badly I could cry. Badly enough that if I don't win it, I might seriously consider buying one (probably smaller) for Christmas. We've been staring at this 27" Sony for about 15 years now, and have been told by a salesman that these old tube TVs last forever -- which was good news before I got it into my head that I would really like a newer, bigger model. It's hard to justify that kind of expense to replace something that isn't broken, but I'm trying.
Dear God, if I win that 42" TV, I swear I'll NEVER complain about my job again. Ever! -- oh, and I'll start believing in you again. -love, Elaine
