Everyone knows that I have been planning for this day for over 6 years now. You've heard me spew on and on about how I'm going to finish nursing in Lethbridge, then move to Calgary then work for a bit then move to Edmonton and finally live on my own.
Well my friends, the time is finally here!
It's not a terrible adjustment, and it does feel a bit scary at times, but hey I guess this is what being grown up means. As you know, being 'me' means having many many stresses in my life. Thank goodness that some of it has gone away:
1) A place to live: I have a roommate who is on a similar sleeping schedule as myself, I'm within walking distance to campus, I have full access to cook whatever I like, Wii access, video rental shop around the corner and I get to wake up to some jazz piano. Oh yes it's also a very nice building.
2) A job: I've got the interview crap out of the way now I just have to get all the paperwork and initial orientation done and then I'm set to start working! Did I mention that work is also within walking distance?
3) School: Well this one still needs to be assessed, I've taken care of the paperwork to complete the practicum (criminal rec check, TB test, blood work, etc) but there is also the part of actually going to school... I'll have an up date by the end of September.
And I guess that is it for stresses... I really don't have too much to say about my life right now, just that I am glad that it has finally started!
Now, on to more important matters.. the things that are tinkering in my mind...
1) Rocky Horror remake?
- People seem to be discussing a remake, or a sequel written by Richard O'Brien following 9 months after Brad and Janet's encounter at the house, with Janet pregnant with either Rocky or Frank'N'Furter's baby. I think that this movie doesn't need a sequel but a remake would be fantastic. Musicals seem to be a hot commodity nowadays, so why not remake this cult classic?
People will disagree and say that nothing will top Tim Curry's performance, however I think that if they cast carefully they can avoid a Charlie and the chocolate factory dunce revival (Tim Burton is great but he wasn't right for this remake).
So far this is my choice for a new cast:
Eddie ~ Jack Black
Frank'N'Furter ~ Cillian Murphy or Johnny Depp (Not sure if either of them have any singing talent)
Riff Raff ~ James Marsters
Brad ~ Chris Klein
Janet ~ Britanny Murphy
Magenta ~ Drew Barrymore
I will post up the rest of my make-believe cast once I have made a decision.
2) Mad TV's parody of a Korean soap opera

That's only part one go to my facebook for links to parts 2-4.
So here are elements of a K-soap, similar to elements of a regular soap:
- Lovers finding out that they are some how related
- Lovers finding out that they are not related after they think that they are related
- A single kiss that is usually a terrible grandma kiss that will occur once in the entire series.
- Flashbacks, flashbacks, flashbacks.
- The love triangle
- 'Huh?' 'What?' 'Sorry'
- Someone always dies
- Yes those annoying food commercials do come on!!!
- Very long subtitles where you have to pause or rewind to see what they actually said
