Vacationing with Johnny Depp

My vacation started at 3:00 pm yesterday. I got out a bit early but

wound up in traffic as I decided to go get my haircut at Susan's.

Susan's shop is on the coast, in a small town that's a pain in the

arse to get to but I've been going to her since the mid 90s when I

lived in Salem. Travel time normally takes 20 minutes but with the

Christmas traffic I spent over an hour getting there. I was late but

had called her whilst stuck behind a some gasoline chugging SUV on its

way to the malls.

Confession: I've been cheating on Susan. Because her shop is so out of

the way, once a month or so I've been going to SuperCuts at lunch but

when I have the time I prefer Susan. Seeing I hadn't been to her place

since the summer and it was the holiday season (she's Jewish...another

reason I love her) I gave her a big tip. It costs $18 for a cut at her

place. I gave her $50 and let her keep the change. I then got in my

car and traveled another hour to get back home. Oh well...tis the

season.

Keeping in line with the haircut theme, last night I decided to go see

the new Sweeney Todd movie starring Johnny Depp. If you're not one to

shy away from lots of blood, can handle gore with a sense of humor and

don't mind actors singing their lines then you just might enjoy it as

I did.

At first it was a bit slow to start. I was anxious for them to get to

Mrs. Lovett's meat pies. I knew the storyline so was looking forward

to how they would pull off the barbershop scenes. I wasn't let down as

the pace quickened.

Johnny Depp and Helen Bonham Carter were excellent. As was the little

boy, Toby, played by Ed Sanders. Two actors from the Harry Potter

films also appeared.
