@seekjustice Have you heard of the Christian Christmas Carol musical?  They change things up a bit so the ghosts are angels (except Marley, who’s still a ghost) and Scrooge becomes a Christian at the end, but it’s pretty similar to the book.  I’m biased, though, since I grew up on it. 😛

Haha, yeah, but didn’t they grow up in the sequel?  I do…[Read more]

@rochellaine

When I read A Christmas Carol I was expecting a kind of cheesy Christmas story and it freaked me out. But I did like it a lot, so it wasn’t bad (I really don’t like cheesy Christmas stories).

I have found it. unfortunately, I’m stuck on the fact that an eight-year-old and a twelve-year-old are played by grown adults and yet still…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha, sorry. 🙂  I haven’t read much Dickens, but I normally like lighter reads, so that’s probably part of the reason.  I grew up on the Christmas Carol musical, which was done every year at my grandmother’s church, so I do like that story, though when I read the actual version it was kind of eerie… 😛 But I still liked it.

Did y…[Read more]

@rochellaine

You don’t like Dickens???? I liked Little Dorrit a lot. Its one of my favourites. I’ve still never read any of Twain.

No, not yet! I’ll go do it now 😀

@seekjustice That actually sounds like a pretty normal plot for a classic. 😛  But okay, it does sound kind of interesting.  I’ve never liked Dickens overly much, though. 🙁  I prefer Verne and Twain for classics.

Say, have you had a chance to look up the Shirley Temple Princess and the Goblins?

@rochellaine

Little Dorrit is only the second greatest piece of Dickens ever (after ATOTC of course). It’s about a girl called Amy Dorrit and her father, who’s been imprisoned for debt for her whole life (I think 25 years or something). And there’s a guy called Arthur Clennam as well, who’s basically hopeless at most things, and yet we love him…[Read more]

@seekjustice I don’t even know what Little Dorrit is. 😛  (I’ve heard the name before, but that’s all.)  No, I’m not into Disney either.  Though I like a little of their really old stuff.

Great!  And you like it!!  That’s a score of two for me and three for you. 😉  You’ve liked Brigadoon and The Slipper and the Rose, and I’ve liked Anast…[Read more]

@rochellaine

No, the first time she heard it was when I was singing it, but since then I showed it to her.

And whoops, now I’m watching clips from the Little Dorrit tv show. 😛 Yes, the remake. I haven’t listened to or seen the new Beauty and the Beast movie, because I’m not into Disney, but I have heard some of the stage show, which has more…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha. 🙂  I thought you had said she had only ever heard you singing the song, so that’s why I said you should show it to her.

Hahaha!! I do that all the time!  I haven’t seen the new Cinderella movie, but I watched the clip of the ballroom scene a while back and loved it.  Her dress is amazing. (I’m assuming you’re talking about th…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I have shown her the whole of that song, but she’s super stubborn and is always convinced she won’t like something until she actually does (it’s happened with all her favourite musicals, Newsies, Anastasia, Les Mis, ATOTC etc). She’s twelve (I think). My brothers are fifteen, nine and four.

It was coming along better until I started…[Read more]

@seekjustice You know, you really should show your sister the whole song.  (What a Comforting Thing to Know.)  By the way, how old is she?  I only know that one of your brothers is nine. 😉

How’s your Pinterest board coming along?  I really have no idea how those things work. 😛  I don’t have an account there, and only go on once in a while when…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I skipped all the dialogue on that track and I’m now listening to the song 🙁

Ah yes, I thought so 😀

@seekjustice I’m just finished Tell Him Anything…and I just about cried when I heard her burst into “Don’t let him know – ”

Yes!  😀  Bill and Patty = best fictional couple ever.  “Sylvester – Sylvester!” is from those books, but before Patty meets Bill.  They’re also the window scene books. 😉

@rochellaine

Yes, its really nice! I’m twenty seconds into Position and Positioning now.

She’s only heard What a comforting Thing To Know and I think it makes her laugh but she really has no idea. 😀 I was singing it the other day (because once its in your head its not coming out any time soon) and she had no idea what I was going on…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, I skipped the first half to catch up with you, so now I’m listening to He/She Danced With Me.  I think that one has the most lovely music of all the songs from this musical.  What a Comforting Thing to Know is the funniest, of course, and Tell Him Anything his heartbreaking, but the He Danced With Me is just beautiful.  Do yo…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yep, I’m up to “A Bride Finding Ball”. I love No Honest Way and it drives my sister crazy! in fact, I just like every time Sydney and John Barsad interact with each other.

I haven’t read a book all month…except some poetry on the first of April and bits of A Tale of Two Cities to refresh my memory. I can’t write and read unfortunately. 🙂

@seekjustice Slipper and the Rose listen through?  Cool!  Let’s do it together. 🙂

I’ve listened to a bit more of the Tale of Two Cities soundtrack.  I just finished Resurrection Man.  My favorite so far is probably No Honest Way, for some undetermined reason… 😛

Not so great. 😀  My eyes are attempting to close, my brain is telling me to writ…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I am now! I’m not writing because…well…I’m done for now, but I am making a Pinterest board for my third novel. I’ve also been rereading my old novel notes and some of them are hilarious. Plus, I’m planning to do a full Slipper and the Rose listen through.

How’s things?

@seekjustice Are you around?  I’m writing…sort of…trying to…pretending to…wishing it were as easy as it sounds…

@ariel-ashira SeekJustice said yesterday that I didn’t have to kill my characters.  So there. 😛  Haha, you’re right, I probably should kill a character some time.  Just let me work up to it, okay?

As for sidekicks…it’s impossible to tell when a sidekick will appear.  Mine appeared quite naturally out of thin air during a conversation with Dekr…[Read more]
