Art Journaling

Here's some more art journaling inspirations- free to the public :)



I did the last 8 pages today on my deck- what a beautiful day, finally. It took us a while to get here....

We watched the movie "Radio" last night. It was really great, and now I've been thinking (well, I was thinking about it before the movie too....) about doing something with special education in college. Of course, our situation with mentally challenged people today is a lot different than then... But still.

So yeah...

Les Miserables

Les Miserables.... was.... GREAT!!!! It was completely not what I was expecting, which was a movie that actually had.........

Lines?

Les Mis was ALL songs. They probably said ten words in the whole movie. Yet, it wasn't cheesy or overdone. Hugh Jackman, starring as Jean Valjean, had a very vibrattoey, but strong voice. Russel Crowe, playing the part of Javert, had an amazing voice, but didn't, in my opinion, show enough passion in his singing. Amanda Seyfried, as old Cosette, had an amazing soprano voice, but was really ugly....... :) Samantha Banks, as Eponine, had an amazing alto voice, and was also really pretty! But Anne Hathaway, as Fantine, absolutely stole the show with I Dreamed A Dream. She made me get the biggest goose bumps in the whole show (and I had a lot).

So altogether I loved the show. After getting the entire Broadway soundtrack, it was amazing. Listening to it right now!

I would recommend this movie to above 12, due to one raunchy scene.

Broadway is the Best

I just needed to write a post on how amazing Broadway musicals are. I have a whole playlist on Grooveshark of Broadway and Disney music. It's amazing! Here's a ranked list of my favorite musicals/movies from Broadway/Disney.

1. Wicked! I love it so much!!! GO GREEN!

2. Newsies- I saw this on Broadway this year. We got to meet an actual actor, who taught us a dance and song! It was amazing! His name was Thayne.

3. Les Miserables- for Choir, we sang a whole bunch of these songs, and I had the honor of a solo! It was so fun!

4. Tangled- Best. Movie. Ever.

5. Lion King- swinging music- awesome.

6. Enchanted- pretty good, but not the best. Amy Adams has a good voice, though.

These are all of my favorites- well, the ones that are in my Broadway playlist! There's also Alice's Theme, which we sang. It was so fun!
So yes, I love Broadway. So never underestimate what I will do if you scorn them!!!! Just kidding :)

PS. Person who know who you are, whose name starts with a J, this was not directed at you. Thanks, you jumpstarted my idea!
