The fledgling Artist

@jenwriter17 Yeah. But I’m getting distracted trying out Canva. XD

He made it up. It would be strange if it was a real song. 😛

@jenwriter17 Yay! What are you working on?
My brother is singing,
“Hannah logged in one night,
and got in a fight,
with her friends in Australia.”
*eyeroll* I don’t think I’ve had a fight with my friends in Australia. 😛 ( @seekjustice What do you think of his ‘song’ (it’s not really song since it’s a repeating chorus. XD )

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @alia @valtmy @f5a8c3e92 @perfectfifths
I’m on tonight. Getting some writing done and working on a blog post.

@seekjustice If it was a bad remake, then maybe someone will make one of those YouTube videos making fun of it, like the one you were watching earlier about Phantom of the Opera.

I think I’ll come too

Please do!  😛  Only, I’ve given you too little notice.  I just looked it up, and it appears that the shortest route from Australia to America is j…[Read more]

@seekjustice It was a very impressive tsunami.  There were sharks in it. 😛

Ah, I have heard of two Phantom of the Opera musicals, but apparently didn’t know which was which.  In this case the 80s one is considered better apparently.  Now in answer to your argument: The word “Phantom” automatically puts something in the melodramatic category. ;)…[Read more]

@seekjustice I think electrical storms are kind of cool, because the lightning in the clouds is pretty.   (Did I ever tell you I once dreamed I went to Australia and there was a tsunami? 😛 )

Oh, I love watching videos like that! 😛  I have heard of the 1990 Phantom of the Opera.  I think.  I thought it was from the 80s.  But then, 1990 isn’t…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hey!  Yes, I’m here. 😀  How’s it going?  (Still melting in the awful heat? 😉 )

Are you working on anything in particular at the moment?

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @alia @valtmy
I’m actually working on writing my book. 😀
Anyone else on?

@seekjustice @f5a8c3e92

And here I am in the middle of winter. 😛

Thankfully, I do have a working heater…

(My current dream vacation is Australia, so I can have warm weather when it’s cold at home.  I assume from your complaints about the heat that it’d be better to come in the fall/spring time, though? 😉 )

@f5a8c3e92

Yeah, I can explain. 😛  As you can see, my sister actually was thinking of it because of Mary Poppins, which is definitely British, not Australian. (Though it was written by Americans.  But it’s set in England.  I’m also assuming you know what Mary Poppins is… 😉 ) So, she was thinking of “bloke” as related to British slang.

I th…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Sort of like the Brigadoon clips we were watching back when I first told you about it, I guess?  Ah, I see. 😛 I guess that would be less funny.

Oh, okay.  How many languages are you able to read/hear with reasonable clarity?

Great, well, I’ll give it a listen sometime and let you know if I find it as depressing as you do. :…[Read more]

@seekjustice

😛

Oh, I see.  I do like watching backstage videos, or “the making of ____” videos. 😉 I find it quite hard to listen to Koreans try to sing in English without laughing, though.

It would have to be that one for me, because I would have no way of understanding the French version. 😛  (Do you listen to any French musicals?  I know yo…[Read more]

@seekjustice

She says she actually had the word in her head because our littlest sister is crazy about Mary Poppins and has been playing the soundtrack nonstop for weeks now.  In “Chim Chim Cher-ee” a lyric goes “In this whole wide world there’s no happier bloke.”  But I guess my brother thought of Australia first, even though the British use t…[Read more]

@seekjustice Are all the musicals that you watch on DVDs?  You said you were watching ATOTC the other day, and I assumed you were watching it online for some reason.  Probably because my brother usually finds most of the stuff we watch on Amazon Prime or Netflix or something like that, because it’s cheaper, so I’m more used to it than DVDs n…[Read more]

@seekjustice I found it on Netflix. 🙂  I liked it very much.  I think I liked Jeremy Jordan better as Jack than whoever played him at the live version I saw, but I liked the other Crutchie better than the Broadway Crutchie.  So I guess it was about even: I liked some parts of this one better, and some parts of the other one better.  They did a r…[Read more]

@seekjustice I just watched the Newsies original Broadway version with Jeremy Jordan. 😀 😀 (I’d seen one or two short clips before, but never the whole thing.)

@seekjustice

Oh, that sounds like a great channel!  What’s it called?

I think yesterday you asked something about a fizz thing, and whether we had it in America.  I can’t answer for all Americans on this one, but I’ve never heard of it.  What is it?

I’ve got to go to sleep. 😉 It’s nearly 2:00 a.m.  Talk to you later!

@f5a8c3e92 Another Australian!  I see @seekjustice has found this topic.  She’s our most frequent Australian person here, though there are a couple others who show up now and then.

I thought you must be from somewhere other than the U.S. because you said you were going to “uni” which is something we never say here. 😛  Accents can show up even th…[Read more]

@seekjustice Shaw intended Eliza to get angry with Higgins and leave him, going off on her own to take care of herself (and possibly marry Fred).  I like that ending because Higgins was incredibly rude to her throughout the whole thing and acted like he was the only one who worked hard for the change in Eliza, ignoring the fact that she worked…[Read more]

@seekjustice 😛 Yeah, well, I like the concept, and I love the music.  It’s just the ending that ruins it for me.  But, I’ve just been reading about Pygmalion, and apparently Shaw intended to have the ending that I would have liked, so I can like that about it, knowing that it was intended to be the way I liked, and people just had to put the r…[Read more]
