My Thirteen Cents

Moving, Alice in Wonderland, DSDS, a New Blog, and a Surprise Get-Together Thing :D Although, Not Necessarily in That Order

I'm working on moving to Rhode Island, and we leave on Thursday.

So last Friday I went to the mall with my friend to see Alice in Wonderland. What she didn't tell me, was that she also invited four friends as a sort of last-goodbye. It was very very very awesome, and I was really glad to be able to see everyone one last time! :D One friend gave me a little music box thing that plays English Country Gardens! :D

Now for the movie review...

One friend already published a review on his Facebook but mine is a bit different. First off, the movie was pretty different from the book. In the beginning, if no one had told me I was watching Alice in Wonderland, I wouldn't have known. It started off with Alice at 20 years old and on her way to a party. There she sees the white rabbit, and follows him down a hole. In the book, she's with her sister, who's reading a book. Alice falls asleep, unknown to the reader till the end of the story, and she goes to Wonderland.

I loved what Burton did to the movie though. It was really cool. Johnny Depp was great as the Mad Hatter, and I loved the Cheshire Cat.

Last week, Manuel Hoffmann was eliminated from DSDS, leaving Kim Debkowski, Thomas Karaoglan, Menowin Froehlich, Mehrzad Marashi, and Helmut Orosz.

NOT.

He was still eliminated, but so was Helmut Orosz! Helmut was eliminated because a video surfaced, in which he and a friend were taped doing cocaine. So now they are down to Kim Debkowski, Thomas Karaoglan, Menowin Froehlich, and Mehrzad Marashi!

Found a really cool blog, written by a teacher at a school who eats the lunch served by the cafeteria. It's called Fed Up With Lunch: The School Lunch Project.

PS -- I love poker. And I learned how to play hearts!

Alice in Wonderland and My Favorite Song from the Soundtrack!!!

So Alice in Wonderland came out on Friday with Johnny Depp + Tim Burton, Anne Hathaway, and other well-known actors and actresses.... I'm SUPER excited to see it! I love Tim Burton, and his movies with Johnny Depp are always awesome. I just love all of those movies, and the dark, gothic feel to them. I've also been reading the book in both German and English on my Kindle.

Okay, now about my favorite song! "Strange" with Kerli, a rather Gothic singer from Estonia (who I like) and Tokio Hotel (stifles excited screams), a fanTASTic band from Germany! I could go on forever about Tokio Hotel, but I'll save you the fangirl speech. ;D Haha. So here is the B-E-A-U-tiful song:

I'm starting to forget the meaning of the word "strange."

And at the beginning, when I heard it, I was like "Ohmigod, is that seriously Bill?!" because for some reason, he sounds really different at the beginning! But you can really tell it's him in the chorus! And if this is the first time you've heard of Tokio Hotel (read: if you don't actually know me) then yes, haha, Bill looks so girly, are you sure he's a guy, he's gay isn't he, blah blah blah. /rolls eyes/ Just get it out now, because Bill's awesome, and this is so NOT the last time I shall blog about him and his extremely hot twin, Tom.*

Hehe...yum. 

* And their bassist and drummer, Georg Listing and Gustav Schaefer. But they get kind of overlooked since they're standing in the shadow of pure sexiness (Tom.)

On a sort of related, sort of not related note, Bill is freakin' TALL. He's over 6 feet! And Tom is 5'11, but Bill is freakin' TALL.
