Tim Burton Day! Starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter!
So...kids back in school, Jethro at home working on his website, I'm
suffering with a borrowed computer for now, it rained this week, I'm
tired, I rode the red mare yesterday in 33 C heat and we both had
sweat dripping off us, people in town don't know how to drive, blah
blah blah blah.
Here's what really counts- TIM BURTON DAY!
Apparently there's a film festival in Venice this week. I wouldn't
know because if you live within a two hour drive of Toronto, which I
do, then there is only one film festival in this solar system, and
that would be the TIFF. Well, Johnny Depp is not at the TIFF this
year. Because he's in Venice. With his buddy Tim. And Tim's gorgeous
wife Helena, who is one of my favourites. I am not in Venice but no
big deal, I never go to those things. You have to like, line up and
stuff. Yeesh.
But I digress...TIM BURTON DAY!!!! Is this going to be a national
holiday? It should be! It was on Wednesday! I almost missed it!
(Thanks Marni for pointing me to the pictures!) He got a Golden Lion
Award.
Here's Tim getting his Golden Lion award. Wow. I am not even sure what
a Golden Lion Award is, but he deserves!
My next book which does not exist yet other than in scribbled note
form is going to have a much more Burtonesque tone to it. I'm planning
to print out a few pictures of some good Burton trees (think Sleepy
Hollow and Big Fish) and hang them beside my desk. Right beside my
giant Captain Jack Sparrow cardboard stand! Hee hee!
Burton Baby #2 is arriving in December!
Aren't they awesome?
Speaking of awesome...Johnny! Man, I dig this guy. He is so slick and
so disheveled at the same time. Nobody does it better. I come close.
yeah, admit, I come close but Johnny is the master.
There he is in his perfect white suit jacket...and his hair looks like
he got Vanessa to hack it short with a pair of dull scissors. And she
was probably blindfolded at the time. Possibly tipsy, because they are
in Europe after all and from what I hear, the Europeans like their
Vino. I love Vanessa because Johnny loves Vanessa and if their idea of
fun is drunken blindfolded dull scissors haircuts, then I am okay with
it. (As long as nobody gets hurt.)
He cannot be uglified. It is impossible. And I even have some really
gnarly Johnny pictures...on MY computer...which is in a coma right
now... so I'm sorry, all you get today are Beautiful Johnny Pictures.
Gahhhhh! Johnny! You are making me weak!
See this? I'm going to practice this move and bust it out when I do my
next red carpet walk!
I wonder if we'll get to do it next year. The Juno awards are in
Calgary next year. Coooool! I gotta try this one. That's an awesome
move!
This man is so wicked cool that he even looks good when he gets out of
an airplane.
When I get out of an airplane I am usually wearing a red hoodie and
jeans with holes and battered Reeboks. And a pink John Deere hat. And
freshly fuschia'd hair. You know? Slick and disheveled? I'm taking
lessons.
Jethro is just disheveled. He doesn't bust out slick until he
absolutely has to, and then it's always the man in black routine. He
wouldn't wear a white jacket if he was paid. He don't care what colour
his suit is as long as it's black.
Tim Burton wears black. He's awesome.
Well today it's only going to be 30 C but so humid that breathing will
be like inhaling a wet blanket. I'll be riding the brown and white
pony mare today. She's a barrel of fun. It might be a short ride.
I'll leave you with this question today...If you could get any award
