More Scrapbooking
So my mojo really has been working overtime this week. After the mass scrapbooking of Wednesday night I had another attack on Thursday and completed another 3 layouts. Once again from Jo’s wedding.
What I Did On My Birthday
Well I had a completely fab birthday. Having reverted to my usual nocturnal hours with a day off looming I was awake until 4am, re-watching ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and ‘Angel’. So that of course meant a nice lie in (always a pleasure). I opened my cards while I had a cup of tea and generally chilled with a couple of presents (2 rings from Annette and Carluccio gold leafed dark chocolates from Kev and Sandra). After a chat to my parents I got dressed and went to Bluewater to meet Mrs H3 for our day of fun.
I received my presents from her before we headed off to see the film - tickets to see JHAB at Half Moon on 21st February (with her obviously) and quite possibly the most fantastic present I’ve ever received in my life – the awesome Moo Dog.
As you can see Moo Dog is a cow. For the uninitiated, the Cow Parade is a huge public art exhibition, which began in 1999 and still continues to this day (recently showing in Istanbul, Copenhagen, Vigo, Milan and Marseille). In 2002 it came to London and at work we all became interested in the life size decorated cow statues that began appearing all over the capital. In fact we became so obsessed with seeing them that when Mrs H3 left us to go and play in pastures new we bought her a china version of the fabulous ‘Beefeater – It Ain’t Natural’ as a leaving present.
In 1999 George Rodrigue (who for anyone who knows me or has seen my New Orleans blog will know is one of my all time favourite artists) sponsored 3 cows for the Chicago parade (shown above). Mrs H3 was trying to get me a china version of one of these, but was unable to do so (due to their rarity I’m guessing) so instead bought a plain paint your own cow and made one for me.
I am completely astonished and touched both for the amazing skill that she’s shown in rendering my plain cow into something fantastically closely resembling one of George’s originals but also for the amount of time and care that she took in doing so. Thank you so much matey for a truly wonderful present.
Once the presents had been opened we headed, complete with large ice creams and fizzy drinks for our second viewing of Sweeney Todd, which I enjoyed even more than the first. Seeing it again gave the opportunity to pick up on the things I missed the first time round and to just let the lush cinematography and sublime Sondheim lyrics wash over me. Apparently the woman next to Mrs H3 had a rather extreme reaction to the film – being terrified for most of it and having hysteria for the rest. I am sure I’ll be seeing it at least once more and the DVD is already top of my want list for the year.
After the film I decided that it was time to finally sort out getting a new phone. I had realised that it was pointless being on a contract when I use so little of the allotted time and texts so was going to switch to pay as you go. However, I really need a new phone as mine is almost 3 years old and having been dropped a few times doesn’t function anywhere near as well as I’d like it to. As luck would have it Virgin (who I am with on contract) had reduced the phone that I really wanted from £90+ to £70 (the beautiful pink Nokia 7373 from the L’Amour Collection) and although I hate the idea of having to actually pay for a phone (yes I know I pay for it through the contract but at least I don’t have a big outlay upfront) even I could see that I needed to switch. Fortunately I got a nice sensible salesman who having agreed that I really did need to move from contract, explained that I could switch to pay as you go without any trouble, keeping my current number and still paying by direct debit, in future just being charged for what I use. He sorted it all out for me and then cheered me further by telling me that my customer loyalty points meant that I got £60 off the cost of a new phone. With another discount it meant that in the end I only had to pay £2.50 for my lovely new phone (which Mrs H3 generously added to my birthday presents) and got 200 free text messages a month for the next 4 months and a years free subscription to Glamour magazine as well. A complete bargain as I’m sure you’ll agree.
We then hooked up with Lynne and did a little window shopping until it was time to meet Andrea and Tina and enjoy a nice meal at that old favourite De Alto. Lynne bought me a bunch of beautiful purple tulips, a big bar of dark chocolate and a crystal butterfly necklace and earring set. Aiden bought me more chocolate (mini Green and Black bars) and Andrea bought me the deluxe version of the Sweeney Todd film soundtrack. From Tina I got a gift voucher and a beaded makeup bag. All in all an excellent stash of presents!

The presents have continued today with a visit from Jane and Leanne. They bought me the UK version of Snow Cake with all the extras (hurrah!), Nanny McPhee, Edward Scissorhands and Bridge to Terabithia. Loads to keep me occupied for a while.

Sweeney, Bramwell and a Bit of Scrapbooking
So I forgot a word – MAGNIFICENT. This is how Jonathan Ross described Sweeney Todd in his review on Film 2008 and it’s a terrific word for it. Yep, sorry I’m still raving about the film especially as we’ve now got our tickets for tomorrow afternoon’s performance at Bluewater. And yes, I am still excited about seeing it again.
However, I have weighty decisions to make. Like should I go to Night & Day to see JHAB’s Valentine’s Massacre. On the plus side Manchester’s only about 5 hours away (a mere stroll compared to Middlesborough) but it’s on a Thursday night, which will mean taking Friday off (sounds like a great excuse for a day off to me!) as I’ll have to stay overnight. The tickets are cheap and there’s a Travelodge only 5 minutes walk from the venue with available rooms at a budget price so it’s very tempting. And as I won't have anything better/more interesting to do on Valentine’s Day it’s even more tempting.
Of course I will be going to see him at Putney the following week with Mrs H3 (thank you once again to her) so I guess Manchester could be overkill. It’s just so nice to go out and not be in the pub for a change, and it's always a pleasure listening to live music, especially the happy, uplifting sound of I Am Kloot!

Sweeney Todd ... the Reprise
So come on Tracy, how was it? I can hear you all asking. I mean I know you’re all dying to find out after I’ve bored you with talking about it for so many months!
Well it was BLOODY FANTASTIC! Yep Sweeney Todd is truly wonderful. It was at least as good as I was expecting, if not better (actually yes I think it was better than I was expecting), although not quite as gory as I’d been led to believe (I guess Richard hasn’t seen quite as many slasher horror films as me) although it is still rather graphically bloodthirsty by most standards. It is a trademark Burton film – dark, brooding, poignant, funny and melodramatic. The cinematography is visually stunning, the singing is good and Johnny, Alan, Helena and Tim are all excellent. Actually even that fella from Ali G is very good.
Be warned there is a LOT of singing. Almost 99% of the film is sung rather than spoken, which some people might find a little offputting. Not me! Perhaps it was because I already knew the songs, but I didn't really notice that it was all singing until Mrs H3 pointed it out to me afterwards.
A hugely entertaining film, I would definitely recommend it unless you really don't like musicals. Me, I’m off to see it again on Friday for my birthday and I’m expecting to enjoy it even more, picking up on all the little things I missed the first time.
Just wanted to say hi to Kiefer as he's been released from prison today. Well done to him for serving out his 48 days quietly and without fuss.

Excited!
So in exactly two hours and forty minutes Mrs H3 and I will finally be watching the opening credits for Sweeney Todd. I have to say that I am VERY excited now that the time to see the film has finally arrived.
Of course that doesn't mean I'll shut up talking about it. I'm sure I'll be raving about it for a while afterwards, especially as i'll be seeing it at least another two or three times in the next few weeks.

Only 4 days left …
Yep still on countdown and still substituting by watching other dodgy films instead. Today’s was ‘Passionada’ starring the disgustingly gorgeous Jason Isaacs (I’ve moved onto his films now I’ve run out of Kiefer’s and Alan’s (or maybe that should say watched to death), although I am waiting excitedly for a copy of ‘Close My Eyes’ a rare as hen’s teeth Stephen Poliakoff film from 1991 starring Alan which I managed to pick up for less than a tenner rather than the usual mega bucks that it normally goes for (if you don’t believe me check it out here or better still here!)).
Anyway ‘Passionada’ was a pretty cute little film. To be honest the ending was a little too sweet and sickly romantic for me in my current mood, I much peferred the harder edged alternative ending that the DVD also provides, although I imagine I’ll find the mushy stuff perfect on a down day when I want to have a good sob. It was definitely a good use of a couple of hours and a must for anyone who wants to see the nicer side of Jason (and it’s well worth seeing … well at least in my opinion, although I do find him sexier in his nasty roles … Lucius Malfoy anyone?)
What is it with nasty men that makes them so sexy eh?

5 Days and the Tickets are bought!
So we were going to go to Bluewater to see Sweeney Todd on Saturday evening, but according to the website they're not showing a preview (amazingly) so instead as I couldn't bear to wait and see if it changed, I booked my favourite seats at the Odeon in Chatham instead.
Whilst calmly (hah!) waiting for the film I have this evening watched 'The Patriot' a rather fabulous slice of American Civil War tosh starring Mel Gibson and the truly delicious Jason Isaacs. I'm not sure how I managed to miss this film before but I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially Jason's positively evil portrayal of Colonel Tavington - I can see why he was considered perfect to play Lucius Malfoy. I'm not sure the dear Colonel isn't actually MORE evil than Malfoy.
I've now found out that watching cookery programmes is not a good move when trying to diet and not eat - especially after seeing some scrummy chocolate brownies!

Sweeney's Coming and Other Thoughts
OK so being the sad girl I am I was still debating whether I could make the John Bramwell concert in Middlesborough next Saturday, having worked out that if I left work at 3pm I could be there (assuming all was well on the roads) just after 9pm and he’s going to be on stage at about 9.40pm (I know that ‘cos I asked). Of course that left the decision of either finding somewhere to stay for the night (some kind person recommended a hotel for me) bearing in mind I’d have to leave by 6am at the very latest to get back for work or driving back after the gig (which was likely to be a very late night so I was informed) and then try getting a couple of hours sleep. Anyway I finally decided that I WAS going to go for it regardless, then I found out that unfortunately (for me, not for John obviously) the gig is sold out. However, rumour has it that John has taken pity on me and arranged a gig for 21st February at the Half Moon in Putney (he’s also playing Manchester’s Night & Day on Valentine’s Day) so fingers crossed I’ll be seeing him then – Putney not Manchester obviously, although seeing him would definitely have improved my Valentine’s Day 100%!
On Saturday night Mrs H3 and I finally got to see Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky from Starsky and Hutch for the youngsters in the audience) playing Captain Hook in Peter Pan at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley. It was a fantastic evening bookended by a visit to Fred and June’s pub, the Swan and Mitre which is just down the road from the theatre. The pantomime was everything a classic panto should be – dodgy sets, terrible acting (apart from the awesome PMG of course who camped it up magnificently), rubbish songs and stupid jokes. The kids loved it, I loved and I think Mrs H3 loved it. Naughtily, we hadn’t actually bothered to find out who else was in it so we didn't know any of the rest of the cast, but a shout out must go to Andy Ford who played Bosun Smee for being the silliest person I’ve seen in a long time and for making me belly laugh till almost crying on several occasions. Roll on Panto season 2008!
So Johnny Depp won a Golden Globe for his performance, the film won a Golden Globe for best film and Richard at work, who somehow (Arggghhhhh!) managed to see the film last Saturday and was treated to a 30 minute talk by Tim Burton afterwards (I’m not jealous, No, really I’m not - Yeah OK I am, VERY!) says it’s gory as hell and hugely entertaining. High praise indeed! Yes it’s Sweeney Todd that rarely mentioned film. I’m now on countdown as I’m determined to see it on Saturday night. I already know I’m going to love it, which is lucky considering how many times I’ll be seeing it over the next month or so!
6 days and counting ...

I Forgot ...
So with all the excitement of Sweeney previewing early I forgot to mention that Steve and I went to see I Am Legend on Friday night.
The evening started off well enough with a couple of drinks and a meal in the 6 Jolly Fellowship Porters at Dickens World, which was very nice but rather pricey (at least the drinks were). The decor was very nice though and being set inside Dickens World gave a view over the Dickensian rooftops which were covered in snow for Christmas.
And then we saw the film. Charitably, I could say it was tedious. Being honest I would say it was tedious in the extreme. So much so that I fell asleep!
To my mind there are only so many shots of Will Smith wandering around New York talking to himself that you can take … and there were far more than that in this film. Also CGI was seriously overused and badly used. The plot was pretty dreadful and the whole thing ran for about 40 minutes too long. Oh and it isn't in the least bit scary - although maybe I was just too lethargic to jump at the one vaguely jumpy moment. Still the little girls in the audience seemed to find it terrifying so someone obviously enjoyed it ... just not Steve and I.
If you want to see I Am Legend get the Charlton Heston 1971 classic Omega Man – it’s a far superior film in every way!
Having already arranged to go and see the film with Andrew too I had a horrid feeling that this was going to turn into a Meet Joe Black film and I wasn't wrong. MJB still wins my award for worst film of all time, but only because it's longer than IAL. Fortunately, Andrew knows that I saw it and was only interested in going because I wanted to see it so fortunately I don't have to suffer it a second time.

Dilemma
OK so I’ve got a dilemma. As I’m sure you’re aware by now I’ve been waiting for Sweeney Todd to be released (somewhat impatiently possibly) for what seems like forever.
It’s released on 25th January, my birthday, and at the moment my entire day revolves around going to see this film (well actually that is my day). However, I’ve now found out that they are doing previews on the weekend of 19th/20th January.
Now I’m not actually doing anything that weekend. The wonderful Johnny Bramwell (he of I Am Kloot) is doing a solo show at the Knights Club in Middlesborough on the 19th, but as it’s a 5 ½ hour drive to get there even I can’t manage that with work on both Saturday and Sunday (although I have to admit I did seriously consider it until I realised where Middlesborough was!)
So my dilemma is do I continue with my original plans to see the film on my birthday or do I go and see it during the preview weekend?
On the face of it, the decision should be an easy one. After all had I have had the money I would have quite happily flown to the US for the opening before Christmas, so therefore the obvious choice should be to go to the preview. But what do I then do on my birthday? (did I hear someone say go and see it again?).
So I’m torn – go to a preview, go on my birthday … what should I do?
And why isn’t Johnny Bramwell playing closer? Then I could have gone to see him!

It's New Year!
Well Happy New Year everyone!
Christmas is now a dull and distant memory as we head into 2008 (the Christmas tree was taken down on the 1st). I’m hoping lots of good things are in store, but at the moment can’t quite manage to be convinced. Of course there are good things happening – the release of Sweeney Todd (finally), Spiderwick Chronicles and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (go Snape) plus tours by Gary Numan, hopefully a visit to the UK by Blue October (finally) and more by I Am Kloot and My Chemical Romance (surely), but otherwise life seems pretty boring.
Here’s a couple of tracks from the new I Am Kloot Album – I Am Kloot Play Moolah Rouge. The more I play this album the more I absolutely LOVE it. Why doesn’t everyone realise what a great band they are?
‘Ferris Wheels’ (yep it’s a love song – what else with IAK?)
‘Chaperoned’ (also a love song I think)
Unfortunately currently no video of my favourite track from the album ‘Down at the Front’ but should they ever produce one I guarantee I’ll be featuring it on here.
Please note that everyone should buy this album when it’s released officially!
Oh I obviously forgot our trip to the panto, which is now only just over 8 days away. I’m sure it’ll be a corker.
Finally I want to say welcome to baby James who was born at 12.30am on Sunday 30th December weighing 7lb 1 oz.
