all for one and one for all, a friend, a friend you used to call*

alright, no real reason for this post, i guess, except its Thursday. Sarah here!
Need some more followers! and commenters! and affies! we were doing so well in June and now it's really spiralled down. so hopefully we can bring it back up again!

So, loving the new Broken Social Scene album. i think its really great. first time i heard Forced to Love a couple weeks ago, i wasn't a huge fan, but its growing on me. anyways, im just a big fan of them on the whole, and i think this album really exemplifies their talent. Have you heard them / this album? give it a listen. Click. There was this one really excellent song that Spencer was playing in his car about a month ago from the new album but i dont remember which one it was... All to All? possibly. great song.

Edit: feel like the song was Sentimental X's. RAD song.



In other news, driver's ed is the most boring thing in the world! like i know everyone says that, but really, until you experience it, you cant understand the brutality. spent most of today's and yesterday's classes writing theatre reviews for Stratford. I'm going to keep a lovely little journal of them from now until... i act there, i guess. and even then i'll probably critique the shows im not in. i love keep journals anyways, so this was just a nice opportunity to buy a new moleskine (Codie hates that word, and i kind of agree - disgusting!) a couple months ago. and it really will be helpful. i just write about symbolism and sets and lighting and performances and stuff, because im cool like that :D

do you keep a journal? about what? comment!

If you know you are going to fail, then fail gloriously!

hey all, Sarah here.
so it's been a while!
i was in Stratford, learning how to be a killer actor, got to play Kate in Shrew - it was wonderful :D
ah, aside from that, excited to get back into blogging!
maybe at some point i'll posted Stratford reviews.
we're always looking for affies and link exchanges :D


alright, so.
can i just say that I love Cate Blanchett?
omg you have no idea.
idk, it just hit me this morning so i felt like i'd blog about it.
she is so inspiring. she's, first of all, an amazing actor. if i am ever half the actor she is, i will be happy.
but she's also really eloquent, graceful, beautiful, and, of course, she has an amazing sense of style.
and she kills at accents and dialects. which is a personal fascination of mine.



my personal favourite roles that she's played (in film) are:
- Elizabeth
She brought so much depth to one of my favourite historical heroines
- Veronica Guerin
See above
- Katharine Hepburn
rocking the menswear.
- Sheba Hart
omg LOVED IT. first of all, this is one of my all time favourite movies. but she was incredible in it. incredible.
- Lena Brandt
amazing.



i've seen her in quite a few other things as well, and she always amazes me, but these ones are all time faves. apparently she was in The Shipping News, which i didnt even know there was a film version of (such a bad fan!) but i've been dying to read the novel for ages.

so tell us - who is your favourite celebrity or actor?!
