A long week

Shawn’s been in Washington since last Sunday for training. I was supposed to pick him up at the airport yesterday, but then this happened. So he can’t get a flight back to Nassau until Monday morning. It’s been a long week without him. I’ve tried to keep busy, but seeing as I’m kind of a homebody anyway, it takes a lot of effort to go out.

With it being so close to the holidays, there was at least an Embassy party to go to on Friday night. And last Sunday, I got together with a couple of friends to go and see Johnny Depp receive a lifetime achievement award at the Bahamas International Film Festival. Yes, that Johnny Depp, of Sexist Man Alive status.

It was a very Bahamian event - including starting 45 minutes late (while we sat on hard chairs in the dark), and check out the soundtrack:

Oh, did I mention that Sean Connery presented the award? He lives on the island, though, so it wasn’t a big deal for him to swing by.

And here’s a clip of Depp talking about researching roles, the Mad Hatter in particular. (I’m so excited about this movie, by the way. Shawn said he got to see a preview in 3D!)
