@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]

@rochellaine

Sounds like a bad remake of “Sharknado”. 😛

Well, the 80s one is the Andrew Lloyd Webber one. And yes, every thing about Phantom is meladramatic, but this one is a step above meladramatic. Perhaps hysterical? I really don’t think you’d appreciate this Christine either 😛 But yes, perhaps the terribleness would give you at least a…[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]

@rochellaine

We’re in serious trouble if we get a tsunami where I live 😛

Nope, the “real” Phantom of the Opera is from the 80s. And no, the hair is pretty terrible, but the whole thing is so ridiculously meladramatic, none of them can sing and it has no plot???

It’s a Prolife march isn’t it? I’m not sure that I’ve heard of it, but I’ve heard…[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]

@rochellaine

We had a storm last night (mostly electrical, not very much actual rain)

Trying to finish up my outline, but really I’m watching a review making fun of the 1990 Phantom of the Opera musical, which is absolutely terrible 😛

@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?

@rochellaine

Are you around today?

@rochellaine

I’d come any time but summer. Though I don’t know, winter is nasty where I live too. And basically autumn and spring are non-existent.

But you should come anyway. I’d love to meet you 🙂

@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

Ah, that sounds lovely 😀 We used to swim in our creek too, but the neighbours built a dam which blocked off the flow to the creek, so its now mostly dry.

Still working on forgiving them for that. 😛

@f5a8c3e92

Look, I’m trying super hard not to be jealous, but it really isn’t working 😛

We don’t have an air conditioner or anything, so our poor little fans are working themselves to death in an attempt to keep us cool.

@f5a8c3e92

Hello there! I’m kinda writing, but really just laying on the bed and being miserable because of the ridiculous heat. I might have asked before, but where abouts are you from? I live down near Canberra and its been so blinkin’ hot here lately.

Actually, I probably need to go now 🙁

@seekjustice Ah, I really wish I could write right now, but I’m leaving in a few for my brother’s basketball practice. 🙁

@f5a8c3e92

Dodgy is such a great word though. Basically everything can be described as dodgy. The Americans really don’t know what they’re missing out on.

@rochellaine

Mary Poppins, as in the actual book, was written by an Australian though. I wonder if Bert describes himself as a bloke in that 😛

By the way, I’m working on my editing at the…[Read more]

@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]

@rochellaine

Yep.

Only German. Even if I’m not entirely sure about the words, I tend to be able to work it out through context.

I’m not sure what tips to give you really. What I like to do in those situations is try it for myself for a while, like trying to do everything one handed. Also, for Bathshua she would pretty quickly learn how to cope,…[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]

@rochellaine

Well, they were like highlights, so not really any full songs but still cool. Oh, the Koreans were singing in Korean 😛 I’m fairly certain it was the Korean production anyway, but it might have been Japanese, I’m not sure.

The only French musical I’ve listened to is the original Les Mis recording, other than that, not really.

Yeah,…[Read more]
