So maybe I’m a bit lated with Britney’s third single from her Blackout album.

But gosh, it came on after the Madonna/Justin pretty but pointless video on Sunday night, and I loved it!

To be honest, I was a Britney Spears new album hater – but so far I’ve fallen for every single. So on to the video:

Break the Ice (which I always have to stop myself from typing *Breaking* the ice…don’t know why) is first and formost, an animated video. Dun Dun DUUNN! The first one I’ve liked since “Breaking the Habit” by Linkin Park. It features the animated version of Britney Spears as some kinda super…person…fighting bad guys like she could never do in real life, and jumping/falling through glass windows. I read that it was done in South Korea – Japanese style (obviously) annndd directed by Robert Hales. I like the way the scenes flow with the music – really awesome job!

Though apparently this video has split the fans. It appears that the same amount of fans dislike the video as do like it. I came across a fan made remake of this video. And although I love the official video, I really couldn’t ignore how awesome this one was as well. It is by ptc1973, and you can check it out here.

Tell me what you think (and the creator as well!)

UPDATE: To compare, you can see the official video here.

So, did I tell you my life’s ambition?

My memory isn’t the best, but if I remember correctly – its on my “About Page”.

I want to be a well known and respected female director. I can see it now: expensive cars, glamorous clothes, exploring the world on my endless bank account, establishing a colony on the moon and naming it “Gee-Gee’s World” and we’ll have low crime and happy times and endless cheese! [figured I'd throw that in there since I am dreaming and all....]…I actually don’t care for cheese either…hmm

But seriously, that’s what I want to do and so i start my quest toward it…

There’s a movie filming down here for a few days – Duplicity. (Starring Julia Roberts) I went to the casting call for that. Man! Was it ever cold! I was freezing! Shin was there (of course :P ) and wearing a jacket and complaining! Dudette, I didn’t even have a jacket…well I did, in my car…20 feet away…but thats not the point! So yea, they’re supposed to be filming in Mid May, so they’ll email us round that time to say whether we’ve been selected or not….to be an extra. I don’t really care about being in a movie, I just really want to get on the set!

And today I found out about another film coming down shooting here – “Way of the Dolphin”, sequel to “Eye of the Dolphin” – I’m trying to get on that one too. And um, note to casting people, how dat “Bahamian” dark skined gal talkin in dat trailer ain’t Bahamian!! Thats’s frickin British! [check back later for my rant about "Bahamian" dialect in American Movies] I mean, watch it – just watch it and listen to her 3 second monologue! THAT AIN”T HOW WE DOES TALK ON DA REGULAR!

So anyway, back to proper speaking typing…I’m here hoping for the best for me and Shin.

Keep your fingers crossed – and hands clasp in begging-filled prayers.
