On this day, I took another giant step in fandom.

I bought Johnny Depp.

Of course, when I say I bought "Johnny Depp," what I mean is that I bought the life-size cardboard standup thingy of him as Captain Jack Sparrow. It's amazing. And it's so coming back to Huntingdon with me; I've just got to figure out how to keep him nonkidnapped over the next year.

To complete the obsessed look I'm apparently going for now, when I bought it I was wearing my [glow-in-the-dark] Pirates shirt. Salesclerk was a little leery of me.


Other news: finally bought and watched Time Bandits. Realized that the last ten minutes are the ten minutes of film that have haunted me since my very very young childhood, almost as horrifically scarring as the part on Ghost when the blobby shadow things take the bad guy away. Ick. Terry Gilliam is amazing. I must now track down and buy Brazil and Baron Munchausen. Anyone know if The Brothers Grimm is worth watching?

you don't even have to worry about your roommates stealing it because I am SOOOOOO getting it!!!! mwahahaha and I absolutely despise 'Brazil.' I had to watch it several times for Eng. comp 1 and grew to detest it. the opening music (which the prof left playing during the entire class for like 2 wks straight) was stuck in my head for 3 mths. >.< Brothers Grimm was pretty good, tho. :)

dude, have you seen the Jack Sparrow shirt Wal-mart has? they were out yesterday so i'm hoping i can find it online.

Hehe. I've seen the shiny one. I have a glow-in-the-dark one, Danny has a really cool spattered-looking artsy one. I also have a cursed Aztec gold medallion and Davy Jones' key because I am a big dork.
