Jonny Depp and the Chocolate Factory

I really enjoyed the movie. I mean, I enjoy watching Jonny Depp in movies anyways, but this one was very fun. Is there anything the man can't do? ^_^ One of my friends that watched the movie with me pointed out afterwards that many of his mannerisms seemed to be mimicing Michael Jackson's. In any case, loads of fun. All in all, I've rather fallen for Depp, in that movie actor sort of way. There's something intensely appealing about him, at least in roles he chooses to play, and the elements he brings to them. Take Pirates of the Carribean for example. Orlando Bloom is cute, but I don't think he can act. He does alright, but he doesn't bring anything to a role... William in Pirates was just Legolas with a girl thrown into the mix. And the girl did well, but there wasn't anything there to grab you. Depp, on the other hand, made the movie. Anyways, enough ranting about very sexy movie actors.... mmmmm.... *cough*

Final Fantasy has continued to absorb my life. Which is good, cause I need something too... I haven't found a job yet, and if I didn't have the game to occupy my time, and have some semblance of human interaction, I would have gone stark raving mad by now. I'm still starting to sink a little bit. Life looks rather grim when you aren't sure if your plans for the future will work out.

Speaking of plans that don't work out... My father has completely failed to do what he promised. Again. This time I almost hoped... but no. See, I'm a poor college student (well, just graduated), who is very limited on money, especially until I get a job. Buying myself a car is one of those things that isn't going to happen, though having a car would be infinately useful, including but not limited to useful in helping me find a job. Anyways, my grandparents recently gave my parents a vehicle, so they promised me that they would give me their old one, after fixing the alternator. That was four bloody months ago. Now, four months later, they apparently bought me a newish car with money they don't have, and then found out that insurance would be really high on it... and the old car is still missing an alternator. They're 'working' on it. Which means, for all intents and purposes, I will never get any car from them, and I'll have to fall back on my own resources again. As usual. Really though, I shouldn't be surprised. Similar things have happened throughout my life. I just wish that my father would stop promising things that he can't come through on. I want to believe him, because promises are a big deal, but I know I can't. And then recently he want me to postpone my graduation... from college... and take another year randomly, with money that he thought he'd have, but I'm sure he never will. GAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Okay, I'm done. Sorry. It just gets a bit frustrating sometimes.
