I have no knuckles!

I was gonna link to an MSN Map that was kinda ridiculous (cross two bodies of water to get from one town in Norway to another town in Norway) but it's been fixed. *shakes head* That was fast. The power of memes...

Speaking of memes, there's a Movie meme going around. Sadly, I'm not that good at movie quotes, unfortunately. I wish I could do something like that. I'm considering doing Internet quotes but I think that'd be a lot harder to find good quotes. (All I can think of right now is "It's the Sphinxter!" and "I CAN'T SPELL YOU" :P).

My cellphone has some strange properties. At home it will make my speakers chitter when a phonecall comes in, and here at work it causes my monitor to flicker when it's powered-up.

There's a local area meeting tonight at the school around the corner from my place. I'm gonna go check it out and see what's going on - they're discussing stuff such as construction, demolition, and things like that. They just recently tore up the swampland right beside the Ambulance station, so I figure a new building's going up there.

I still can't believe the price I got on my condo, and that I'm living there. I think I'm still in denial that I effectively own it.

And I have one of the best views. :D

Last night I went with Emily and Shannon to see the movie adaptation of Phantom of the Opera. At times, I was amazed with the sets and the style of the scenes. A few really brought back memories of when I saw The Phantom when it was still at the Pantages (now Canon) Theatre. Hauntingly good music, and playing back the movie in my mind, I'm reminded of scenes from the musical. Brought tears to my eyes several times throughout the movie, including the end. Beautiful movie, and while it differs from the musical (especially in one critical scene), it stands well, and it's gorgeous.

"Phantom" movie trivia. (warning, some spoilers.)

What about "I don't want to eat a guitar?" XD

*cries* I still hate walking past the Pantages with its stupid new sign. I get bitter every time.

Yeah, and the gigantic Phantom Mask painted on the wall, too... ;_;

Yee!

I loved Phantom too, my layout is a testement to that. But because the live version is vague in my memory from having seen it over 10 years ago, what was the difference in the critical scene?

I think the most critical one is that the Chandelier is supposed to come down at the end of act one, right after "All I Ask Of You." Instead it came down at the end of "Past the point of no return" after Christine takes off his mask. Truth be told, it makes much, much more sense there.
