is the perfect word to describe Johnny Depp’s performance as Sweeney Todd. His eyes and facial expressions showed so much depth of feeling. His voice… well, perfect.

Today at work, the girls could not see the resemblance between Alexander Hamilton and Ann Heche. I still think they look like they are related. Don’t you?

Aren’t these the cutest reindeer cookies you’ve ever seen? I just made them for a bake sale we’re having at work tomorrow. We’re raising money for a couple of families who need help right now.
And guess which movie soundtrack came out today?
YES! Sweeney Todd! Chrissie surprised me with it after lunch […]
