2 July 2009 6:41 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news Johnny Depp thrilled sick children at a London hospital on Wednesday - by dropping in unannounced, dressed as a pirate. The actor has been in the U.K. capital this week (beg29Jun09) to promote new movie Public Enemies, and took time out from his busy schedule to visit Great Ormond Street Hospital to cheer up young patients. Dressed as his Pirates Of The Caribbean character Captain Jack Sparrow, he visited several wards - including the one his daughter Lily-Rose stayed in when she was treated for kidney failure in 2007. A source tells WENN, "Johnny was so friendly with all the children on the ward and they absolutely loved his pirate outfit. "He spoke to lots of the youngsters and staff - and made their day by posing for pictures with them all." The generous star has previously donated $1.5 million (£1 million) to the hospital to thank them for looking after his 10-year-old daughter during her health scare.

I went to go and see the 10.45 showing of Public Enemies with my brother, sister and our cousin when, about halfway through, when it was starting to get exciting... We stayed and sat in the theatre until the screen cut out, then we went to the customer service desk because we knew, due to Pie's working at this particular cinema in the past, they'd give out re-admit tickets. Basically, if there had been a real fire, we'd likely be dead right now. It sucks, cause I know myself, and I know it's unlikely that I'll go and finish Public Enemies with my re-admit, but there's always Harry Potter what I can use it for. |

SO, UM, WHILST I WAS TYPING HAPPILY AWAY ON MY COMPUTER THIS EVENING AT AROUND 22.30 CDT, I GOT ROBBED. AT GUN POINT AT MY MOTHERFUCKING HOUSE!!!! THIS GUY CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, I LOOKED UP FROM MY COMPUTER, AND HE HAD A GUN IN MY FACE AND SAID, "IF YOU SCREAM, I WILL KILL YOU." SO, UM, YEAH, I DO SO. HE ASKS ME FOR MY MONEY, SO I GAVE HIM WHAT I HAD IN MY POCKET, WHICH WAS MY DEBIT CARD AND $20. "WHAT IS THIS?" HE ASKED ME IF ANYONE LIVED WITH ME, IF I WAS ALONE AND ALL THAT, I WAS LIKE, "ER, JUST MY CAT. IT'S JUST REGULUS." HE HAD ME HAND OVER MY PHONE AND ITS CHARGER, AND I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE IT, BUT NO, HE ASKS ME TO TURN ON THE LIGHTS, AND DEMANDING I GIVE HIM SOMETHING OF VALUE. SHIT, MOTHERFUCKER, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING OF VALUE. I'M POOR AS SHIT. SO I OFFERED HIM MY CHANGE CUP, WHICH IS A HUGE PLASTIC STEIN FULL OF CHANGE. HE ASKED HOW MUCH WAS IN IT (ABOUT $100 IDK?!!? INCLUDING A FUCKING $2 BILL, WHICH SHITS ME LIKE MAD. THIS WAS MY RAINY DAY FUND, YO, OR BASICALLY WHAT GOT ME THROUGH THE MONTH OF MAY). HE DEEMED IT ACCEPTABLE. THEN HE MARCHED ME THROUGH MY APARTMENT AND TOOK MY iPOD AND ITS BOSE AWESOMESAUCE SOUND STATION, PUT IT IN MY DUFFLE BAG AND THEN HAD ME DUMP MY PURSE CAUSE HE WANTED TO TAKE MY ID WITH HIM SO "IF [HE] GOT CAUGHT, [HE] KNEW WHO TO COME AFTER". WELL, I LOST MY ID OVER A YEAR AGO, AND HE WAS LIKE, "YOU BETTER FIND SOMETHING FOR YOUR ID". ALL HE GOT WERE A BUNCH OF RANDOM BUSINESS CARDS, A WELL EXPIRED BANK CARD TO MY ACCOUNT IN THE UK, AND AN EXPIRED CAR INSURANCE CARD, SO AT LEAST THERE'S THAT. THEN HE TOLD ME TO GO SIT DOWN IN THE BACK OF THE HOUSE TILL HE LEFT. SO RIGHT NOW, I'M AT JAMES'S HOUSE, ON HIS COMPUTER. I'M LIKELY GOING TO BE MOVING VERY SOON. IDK. I DON'T FEEL ALL THAT SAFE IN MY HOUSE, THOUGH I DO ELSEWHERE IN SOULARD. FUCK THIS SHIT. WILL BE BACK IN A MOMENT TO UPDATE WITH DRAMATISED PHOTOS FEATURING JAMES AND MYSELF. |

“Are you going to have your wicked way with me?” he grinned, pulling her torso closer to his own, her breasts swinging tantalizingly close to his face, teasing him. “I thought you’d never ask,” she said, returning the grin and throwing all inhibition aside. “Oh happy days!” he crowed as she lowered her head to his and brushed her lips gently across his own. |

Oh, hey, guess what, my lickle chicken dumplings. This marks my I noticed this was coming a while ago, and I was planning on doing something epic for it, like a voice post, or a nostalgia post (which is what I'll probably do for my 1000th entry), but the best laid plans, right? Because, while the dream I had last night wasn't very funny or cool, and is actually really lame, I feel like I need to tell someone about it, and who better than those that can completely disregard this entire post? =D Yay, Internetz. |

I am inordinately pleased with myself for creating my own "I'm On A Boat" ringtone. I cannot wait until Senor McDouchey from the collections agency rings me back to test it out. I was to have resolved everything by him by 3p EST, and seeing as how it is now ten after two, I am wondering if he's dicking me over and trying to have me arrested on charges of fraud (according to the message he left me this morning, passing a bad cheque over state lines is fraud, so now I wonder if it isn't were the cheque made out to a company in Missouri). He did say Eastern Standard Time, though, which would correspond with one PM Central Daylight Time, and I did return his call from this morning shortly after 13.00, local time. Very sly, of you, Mr Coons, but I am on to your little game here. I call shenanigans on you, sir. Really, the cheque wouldn't have been bad if I hadn't been such an idiot and left my charger in England. I do not have my financial advisor's E-mail address, nor could I find one in any of my searches online, and so I had to wait until I got the charger back in the post, which came on Saturday, and it was a holiday weekend, of course, so I couldn't get in contact and get it all sorted until yesterday anyway. Coons is the one who contacted me about this lickle matter whilst I was in England in the first place - I remember very well his incredibly monotonous and boring voice; it's rather like Will Ferrell's character that "CAN'T-CONTROL-THE-VOLUME-OR-TONE-OF-[HI Off to answer questions concerning that pesky court case. I really cannot wait until all of this is resolved and I can start fresh and anew. It almost feels like waking up for the first time in many years. Addendum: Back to my questionnaire concerning THE DECEMBER INCIDENT. ooga booga booga. |

If Milwaukee lose tonight, we'll be tied for first! Go Twins! And Chicago's fallen to 4th! Huzzah! I know it's early on in the season yet, but I don't care. This makes my heart happy. I hope I get this job on Tuesday so I have money so I can go to Cardinals games. It's unlike me to not have attended at least one game this far into the season. In other news: I finally got my phone charger back! YAY. I have so many things that need sorting out that require the phone. Also, Dear I hate when you rumble down my street, as it invariably sets off my car alarm. Kindly fuck off. Thanks, |

Things are looking up for several reasons: 1. I got an e-mail from my mum asking me, if she were able to do it, from whom would I like an autographed All-Star baseball: Ozzie Smith, Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, or Stan Musial? Er, WHAT?!!?!!?!? All are so awesome, but I already have an autographed Ozzie Smith ball, and I've met and talked baseball with him before. I ultimately told her I wanted one signed by Musial because one of my first memories of playing softball had to do with Musial, not to mention when my family and I were nearly run over by him at the home opener of the 1996 season. Plus, he's well old, so who knows how much longer I've a chance to get a ball signed by him, y'know? But God, I would love balls signed by Gibby and Brock, too. Next time. 2. Speaking of the Cardinals, they fucking swept the Cubs at Busch!! Yes! Perfect timing, too, as we have taken such a swan dive in the month of May, and have gone from a good distance in front in first to third. Now we're solidly in second to the Milwaukee Brewers (2.0 games back, Chicago is 4 back and in third). We open play against the KC Royals tonight. Should be a good series - it generally is. 3. The weather. It's so awesome right now. The only thing marring this is the fact that the river is flooded, and so there is no where for me to go and just lie on a beach since they're all underwater. Oh, well. I might take out my bike later and just ride aimlessly. 4. I might have a job as soon as Tuesday, which is fabulous! It'll be at Schnuck's, a local grocery chain. Not all that glamorous, but it's money, and it's at the new downtown location, so it's nearby and that location is supposed to cater to the loft district and all the rich young professionals that live there, or at least that's what I heard. 5. 6. There is something else I am really excited about, but I can't think of it right now as the other items on this list are just so awesome.

I want to go to the beach, but I don't feel like driving all the way out to Fenton to do it, especially if the river is up, cause then the exercise would just be useless. I'd get my kayak from my parents' house, but 1. it's further out than Fenton and 2. I can't fit it on my car anyway. I'd have to borrow a truck or something. Meh. ETA - At least I got home in time for Jeopardy!. |

HOLY SHIT ALL MY POWER'S JUST GONE OUT. RIGHT AS I WAS TURNING ON THE TEA.V TO SEE WHAT THE WEATHER SITUATION IS, TOO, LOL. IT WAS WEIRD, CAUSE THE WIND'S JUST GUSTED SUPER HARD ALL OF A SUDDEN, THEN THERE WAS A CRASH, BUT IT WASN'T LIKE THUNDER. IT SOUNDED LIKE CABLES SNAPPING, LIKE WHEN THE T-REX BREAKS OUT OF HIS PADDOCK IN JURASSIC PARK, AND THAT'S WHEN THE ELECTRICITY WENT OUT. DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN UM, THE BAR ON THE CORNER STILL HAS ITS LIGHTS. I CAN SEE THEM. AND SO ARE ALL THE STREET LIGHTS. I'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO GO DOWN IN THE FUCKING BASEMENT AND FLIP THE BREAKERS. THERE MIGHT BE VELOCIRAPTORS DOWN THERE!! I AM NOT SAM JACKSON!! DONUT EAT ME! OMG, DONUT EAT ME, EITHER, T-REX!!! D= |

I seriously need to go on Wheel of Fortune. These people make assloads of money and they're all idiots. I solved every puzzle tonight well before the three contestants did. I would pwn that shit. Even if you lose, whatever money you made during the game you get to take home. How awesome is that? And you can win trips to awesome places! Goddd. Where do I sign? Other things I need to do include: -Transfer money into my chequeing account I can tell you right now that the last one is definitely going to take top priority. |

I'm vaguely listening to "Mystery Diagnosis" on Discovery Health channel, and I totally diagnosed the kid in the first five minutes of the episode. All they mentioned were that his fingers were a bit funny at birth, and he developed a chest indentation at a month or two, and I knew straightaway that it was Marfan Syndrome. The kid was in and out of doctor's offices all the time, and they didn't find out until he was 5 that it was Marfan. What kind of hack doctors was this woman taking her kid to that can't diagnose something as simple and distinctive as Marfan Syndrome when I did it in less than five minutes off a bloody TV show I'm hardly paying attention to? I really wish my mum or dad or someone had been in the room with me when I declared it was Marfan. I feel like being told how brilliant I am. |

Why does half of this rice taste like soap bubbles, and the other half is perfectly fine? Also, the soap side is hard, and the other is soft. Both sides were cooked at the same time, in the same pot. The only difference is the food they're lying next to in my lickle container (and the other food does not taste of soap bubbles). Please to be explaining this to me. |

You know, I never quite understood the fangirling of Snape. It never clicked for me, and I considered myself one of the few I realise now that I was quite mistaken, for I know that, despite how much I disagree with casting him as Regulus, this will be me on the inside when his scene (which probably lasts literally less than a second) comes up: ![]() Seriously, the smallest mention of Regulus makes me go all wompy and splutter rather incoherently. The Blacks are by far my favourite family in Harry Potter - the rest don't even begin to approach coming close - but the love I have for Regulus is jjasgdjgfkdasdhfjsduigsdihfKEYBOARDSMASH ETA: LOLOLOL for days @ Snape's nose.

Easter was a pretty enjoyable affair. Highlights include the both the Cardinals AND the Blues winning, and talking with my brother for an extended period of time without getting angry with each other. And we were drinking, too! Usually such a combination equals us yelling at each other, or rather me yelling at him, and him sulking off to gry. It nearly got to that point cause he was on the verge of crying cause his girlfriend hadn't called him, and he was angry about how upset he was, and I told him I know what that's like because he had left me in a similar manner twice in the past, and he was all 'Ohhh, thanks for making me feel like shit. I've heard from all three siblings in the past two days how I've let them down. Yeah, I feel awesome.' OH SHUT UP. Then his girlfriend called and he was :D :D :D so that was excellent timing on her part. Well done, Sarah. ILU for it. So after that, Garrett and I proceeded to get completely wankered. Sweet. When I got up this morning, I could smell Blow-Pops, but I ignored it. I got up to get another soda, and discovered that I had Blow-Pop gum - complete with the stick! - stuck to my shirt. LOLOLOLOLOL WIN. |

THERE IS A LONDON GHOST WEEK 24 APRIL - 2 MAY!! GUESS WHEN I ARRIVE. 29 APRIL. I AM SO HITTING THAT SHIT UP, AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FLISTS CAUSE I'M WAAAAAAY TOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!! FINISH UP YOUR PAPER EARLY, SHIKADEE :D :D :D From Londonist: It's the event that Londoners have been dieing for. London Ghost Week begins on 24 April, and celebrates all things spooky in the capital. Highlights include an all-night vigil in a Victorian school, séances at the sites of Ripper victims and an X-factor-style show to find London's Best Medium. The Ghost Week is organised by spook-hunting company Fright Nights and follows similar events in Edinburgh, Oxford and Canterbury. Our city out-trumps anywhere else in the UK for its supposed supernatural population, so it's about time someone got round to planning something like this. We're complete and utter skeptics in such matters, but find the prospect of a night in a creepy building irresistible. Proof. Head honcho of Fright Nights, Marting Jeffrey, thinks we might be in for an eye-opening experience. "Skeptics often warm to the investigations," he says. "We've had some fairly inexplicable things happen over the years. For example, back in 2003, we witnessed the full manifestation of a little girl in front of 23 people in Dudley Castle." Ghost hunts will take place at some of the capital's lesser-known haunted sites. "We really like exploring these hidden nooks and crannies," says Jeffrey, who nominates the Admiral's House in Greenwich as his pick of the venues. "It's an extremely haunted property, with all the activity focusing on the stairs. There are many reports of strange noises, and sightings of a white lady. But there's never been a public ghost hunt there before." Other paranormal stake-outs will take place in the morgue at the Old Naval College, Greenwich, the Ragged School Museum in Mile End, houses in Ilford and Finchley, and the Canal Museum in Kings Cross. Each event will be overseen by a medium who will attempt to contact the dead and give advice on sensing paranormal activity. All bunkum, if you ask us. But bally good fun all the same. And we haven't even mentioned the magician versus the medium face-off, at Magic Circle headquarters. Londonist will be along to the ghost hunts at the Greenwich morgue and the Ragged School, and hope to (discretely) Twitter the events live. So if you can't make it along, you'll be able to watch our descent into madness unfold before your very eyes. London Ghost Week runs from 24 April till 2 May. A complete list of events can be found here. |
