@seekjustice There are different things I like about each of them. Oh, and by the way, the Hugh Jackman version was from 1999, so it’s technically a “19-something version” too… 😛 The Jud character in Hugh Jackman’s version is much scarier than the 50s Jud is. I prefer Gordon MacRae singing “Oh What a Beautiful Morning” and I definitely very m…[Read more]

Ah, that’s unfortunate. My family tends to stick the rain out and make us all miserable 😛
I’m not sure how many I’ve seen, I’d have to count. By the way, do you like the 19something version of Oklahoma or the Hugh Jackman version best?
I guess so, she just struck me as really naïve and not at all smart.
She’s in her forties, but…[Read more]

@valtmy Haha! Thanks!! I actually do need one partially reasonable death faking idea, because they do need to truly fake a death in the story. So it’s okay if you thought of reasonable ones.
I like them a lot! My brother came up with a boat one, except he said they should explode the boat. Probably because he’s a guy, right? Guys like explo…[Read more]

@seekjustice We don’t go camping very often. And unfortunately, it started to rain so we had to pack up and hike back up the trail pretty early this morning. At least we had one good night there. 🙂
Well, that’s two out of what, eight? You haven’t even seen eight old musical films, have you? So the percentage isn’t all that low if you thi…[Read more]

@dekreel I have to use the phrase all the time when talking about sci-fi with my brother. (which we do all the time, since we’re fans of Star Trek, Stargate SG-1, and a few other sci-fi movies/shows.) So to describe any character I’ll either say “sentient being” or “humanoid.” Just not all sentient beings are humanoids, so I have to use b…[Read more]

Sorry I keep missing you! I was at church this morning you see 😀
Welcome back! Does your family go camping much?
Yeah, I didn’t like that, and it’s generally not my style (Oh, I love Brigadoon! Its pretty much the only exception to the old musical dislike. And I don’t mind Mary Poppins. But other than that…)
I did…[Read more]

I do not know how to fake someone’s death. I have never done it before
😛
Never. Not even to Zac.

@valtmy Haha, well, maybe you can help me with some ideas. I need a whole bunch of completely ridiculous and impossible ways to fake someone’s death. (I thought I would have to ask @seekjustice 😉 But if you’re willing…) I’ll give you a couple of examples to show you what I mean.
Ways to Fake Deaths
Example #1: Rent a private helicopter, ta…[Read more]

Wow, I cannot believe how badly I messed up @jenwriter17‘s tag in the last post! 😛 Ah well, Jen, I was just saying that you’re one of Bobert’s favorite “sentient beings” in case you ever wondered. 😉

@rochellaine Yes, yes, I know… Hey, at least I didn’t STOP coming here all together. 😛
“Sentient being.” Yeah. I might just start using that phrase. XD
Poor Bobert! Maybe he likes Jen because she’s a Steampunk horse. Because honestly, there are few things more awesome than a Steampunk horse.

@dekreel Yes, and you promised you wouldn’t disappear… 😛
Anyway, I’m working on a completely new project now and considering writing a screenplay. Cool stuff. 😛
Poor Bobert has been pretty much neglected lately. I think that is partially the fault of @sam-kowal for keeping Stan away, since Stan is Bobert’s favorite sentient being besides m…[Read more]

Going okay. How are you?

@rochellaine Hey, hey!! I know, it’s been a while! 😀
I’m doing okay. Sorry I haven’t been around much. The Aetherlight has been so addicting…
How is, um… Bobert doing? XD

@dekreel Hellooooo!!! Finally! 😀 😀 😀 😀 (I was camping with my family yesterday, which is why I wasn’t here.)
How are you doing??
@seekjustice Hey, I’m finally back.
Haha! Well, you liked Brigadoon, right? 😉 That’s an old musical. It premiered on Broadway in 1947.
Yes, that part is pretty bad. It made the play, the musical, and the m…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you see a tall stack of clean, fresh notebooks at the store and you go, “MUST… HAVE…!!!!!”

It was better than Liliom, definitely. I’m not sure I could say that I liked it though. The more of these old musicals I watch the more I’m sure I’ll never find one that I love 🙂
I think though, my main problem was that the ending made me really uncomfortable, especially the part where Louise and Julie talk about being hit and never feeling a…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m sure you’re not still up, but…
What did you think?? It was at least better than Liliom, right? 😛 How did you like the singers? (they used their real voices, unlike some musical actors, such as the ones in West Side Story) Gordon MacRae is one of my favorite singers. What was your favorite character? Scene? Song?
