The Rum Diary



Well, it's official, The Rum Diary movie is going to happen, is happening now and will be done with production shortly. I'm stoked. The Rum Diary was Hunter S. Thompson's first novel written in the 1950's. The book chronicles his time as a freelance journalist in Puerto Rico. Basically, the movie is a "sequel" to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Johnny Depp is reprising his role as Hunter and a few other familiar faces are going to appear in the movie as well. It'll be released sometime in 2009 I think. I'm stoked.

I would have called you when you commented, but I was sleeping over my psycho friends house.
And, I need to get a cell phone. The cell phone I have now has no color and I don't know where on earth it is. AND, my parents monitor my EVERY move. I don't think they would think fondly of me talking to someone I met on the computer. I know it's pathetic, but what can I do? So until I get the cell phone, you can email me at

Coin trick... impressive!

By the way, I have never seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (I have heard of it), but I will be renting it very shortly!
