Pirates and Mermaids and Missionaries, Oh My!

Today I went to the local cinema (I "went to the cinema, yah") with my friend Jonathan and saw Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides.  And I enjoyed it very much.  It was awesome.  In case you haven't seen it or gathered from previews, they're trying to find the Fountain of Youth.  And of course, everyone has his (or her) own reasons for going there.  In order for the enchanted water to have effect, however, one must drink it from a certain silver chalice along with a mermaid tear while another person drinks it from the matching chalice.  The person without the mermaid tear will die, and the other will remain forever young.  

The mermaid part was really cool, despite the fact that they want to eat humans.  Also interesting is how the captive missionary, Philip, falls in love with Syrena, the mermaid Blackbeard captures for a tear.  And of course there's the relationship between Jack and Angelica, whom I must say Penelope Cruz played wonderfully.  Oh, and the soundtrack is great too.  Ah, I could go on and on. 

To jump or not to jump: that is the question.

Time for some epic Cap'n Jack improv!

 

Philip and Syrena

Oh, and my sisters and I sang earlier today on our town's square for March for Jesus, and it went well. It was a beautiful day, with a lovely breeze.  Then we saw the movie, then got milkshakes and root beer floats and the like. All in all, a good day. :)
