Leap year!!!

I am so surprised that I am still up! Maybe it was because of Dollar Beer. hah.

My directing scene is shaping up nicely. We finally got into the space today, and it felt really good. I think we were all frustrated because we had to be rehearsing in classrooms rather than the actual performance space. I'm excited. We're having a special rehearsal/meeting tomorrow at my apartment. It will be a good time. : )

This break couldn't have come at a better time. I'm in need of it. I need to get away and go home and buy sweet tea from my favorite local restaurant. YUM. I want to drive around the streets that I know so well. I want to be warm. 

So today at 4PM, there will be much rejoicing!

I should sleep though. I'm gonna be TIRED tomorrow.

Is it Friday yet?

I am utterly exhausted from yesterday's trip to Indianapolis to see The Piano Lesson. That is not my favorite August Wilson play, but I think that the cast did a good job. The ending...meh. But overall, not bad. 

We watched the movie "Once" on the ride to Indy. It was my first time seeing it, and it was wonderful. I am in love with that movie and the music. I'm going to be singing "Falling Slowly" all the time...I mean, I already do....

If you haven't seen it, go and rent it or buy it. Just buy it. I know you'll like it.

I was fancy and ate at P.F. Chang's with Donald and Kelli. Yup, that's right, I dropped a little less than $30 on that meal. I mean...I did get a "Bomb Pop Martini" which was DELICIOUS. AND a mini dessert. heh.

The ride home was awful. We finished watching Superbad, I tried studying for my Environmental Science test (which was today and not too bad), and the heat was on high, so I was super hot and uncomfortable. We arrived at 1:15 AM to snow covered streets and cold cold cold.

Now, I have nothing to do tonight. I just got back from my Directing I rehearsal for Kassie's scene...and I'm not doing my homework for Friday until Thursday night. 

Maybe I'll sleep or watch tv. Or hang out with people.

And the Oscar goes to....

Hooray for the 80th Annual Academy Awards! One of my most favorite nights on television. I hope you were able to witness the loveliness that is the Oscars tonight, and I hope you all did well on your ballots. That is if you filled one out? You did fill one out? If not...I'm disappointed. It was sadly a bad year for me. When it came to the technical awards, I blew it. I must do better next time. I give my sincere congratulations especially to Marion Cotillard, Diablo Cody, and everyone who worked on "No Country For Old Men." 

I talk about them like I know them. Haha.

But seriously, this year was a good year in film, I think. Can't wait for next year. I've got to hit up the movie theatres again. Maybe a triple feature soon? That would be amazing.

Now that the Oscars are done, all I have to do is make it through this week. Then HOME. Will you be in the Columbus, Warner Robins, Macon area next week? If so call me to hang out. If I know you, you should know my number. ; )

Back to my Environmental Science study guide....

That Scoundrel Scapin!

I finally got to watch Scapin tonight. It was lovely. I have always loved Commedia and farce, and I'm really glad that UET decided to do this show. It also reminded me of how much I love movement and the art of physical comedy. I think it is absolutely brilliant. I just wish I had more training in movement...I should find some workshops or something like that to do over my summer.

Tonight was much tamer than last night. Thank God. I don't think I could handle another crazy night. It was nice just to have a beer or two and just hang out at Maui. Relaxing. And I do not have a craving for Taco Bell like last night.

I have designated tomorrow as "Get off your ass and work day!" I will force myself to be productive, and I will get things done!! : )

Off to bed! Here's a video!

So much funny!

Wow is all I can say about last night's Oscar party at Maui. I believe it was a huge success. The cops coming by twice and the underclassmen running to hide = GREAT NIGHT.

I was actually really surprised at the amount of people who showed up. For one, the party didn't start until 11PM, AND it started snowing outside. But we were all nice and warm in the house dancing and boozing it up. This afternoon Steven, Mattie, Ray, Kelli, and I recounted the night...it was pretty funny. Or as Mattie said last night "So much funny!"

In other news, I have one more week until I'm back in Georgia. I'm excited. We also have the Simpson Trip to Indy on Tuesday to see The Piano Lesson. Hope it's good.

I think my Directing II scene is going okay. We haven't had many rehearsals because of Scapin and scheduling problems, but I think I have a good cast, and we're going to be fine. I just haven't found my groove yet. I'll get there. I know I will.

I think I just want break to come. I'm over school. I shouldn't be, but I am.

No video today. Watch the Powerthirst video again. I still think its hilarious.

Snow day...again.

We have a snow day...again. Really it should be an ice day...because that's what it is. No snow. Just ice.

And I've been doing nothing allllll day. : )

Being Alive!

I hope everyone had the chance to watch Company on PBS tonight. It was good. At least I enjoyed it. Besides, I love Raul Esparza so that's all the matters. : ) I swear I melted, or turned to jelly, or something when he sang "Being Alive." *sigh* Lovely.

I came to the realization today that I do not have any theatre classes on Friday, meaning I only have Environmental Science at 1PM. How glorious is that? I am VERY excited to sleep in. And maybe do something fun on a Thursday night! Now that's a first considering I am act like a nerd and work work work, and I don't do anything fun on week days. Here's my chance! ha.

Speaking of things that are fun. One of our theatre houses is holding an "Oscar Party" on Friday. That means dressing up in our fancy dresses, drinking, and dancing. But that also means the Oscars are on Sunday!!! Print out your ballots, I know I will!!

Now, if Spring Break could just get here....

Okay video time. I don't remember if I've put this one up. If I did, sorry. It's that good.

I'm not used to staying up late anymore...

I am thoroughly enjoying the fact that there is no more snow on the ground. It makes driving to campus so much easier! Who would have thought?!?

Dark of the Moon officially started yesterday with our first read-through! I'm very excited to be working on this show, the last show of the mainstage season, and the last mainstage show of my college career. I suggest everyone coming to see it because it will be amazing. I mean, you should see the scene design scale model...WOW. 

Music rehearsals were tonight. I didn't realize Caleb was soo musically inclined. He's been arranging all the songs for the show. I wish I was like that. My knowledge of music theory is incredibly slim...which I am kinda sad about. If I am seriously considering being Music Certified during my high school teaching career, I should maybe get better at theory...hrmmmm.

I have one good quote from Psychology today. Dr. Felton was discussing x-rays, radiation, MRIs, and pregnancy. Well, he said, "You know, they have to put that big, heavy, lead apron to protect your gonads." Gonads? Really? He makes me laugh sometimes.

So, I have been trying something lately. I've been trying to stay up late...to get myself back into the college groove. Also, there may be an all-nighter approaching now that DOTM rehearsals have started. I mean everyone else I know stays up until 4AM. But! I can't do it. I can't! I get tired by 11PM. It's 1AM now...and my eyes don't want to stay open. I am officially OLD.

With that I leave you. But I do have a video!!! I've known about this one for a while, I just haven't put it up. I love the documentary Planet Earth...a lot. So I thought this was funny...

BACK!

Well hello!!

I just got back to Evansville from my wonderful wonderful wonderful weekend in Warner Robins!!

All Shook Up was AMAZING. The kids were absolutely fabulous. It was so nice to go and see the show and be super excited because I didn't help with this show. Friday night I went with Trey, Jonathan, and Jenny's parents. Then, I went again on Saturday. : ) 

I'm too tired to elaborate. So...I'll do that later.

love.

I'm not gonna write you a love song....

I'm in Georgia!!! This makes me very happy. The drive actually wasn't too bad. I was impressed with that.

Happy Valentine's Day too!!! Technically, EST wise...it's not Valentine's Day anymore. But I thought I would send my love out anyway...considering I was driving during most of Valentine's Day. : (

Tomorrow I will be heading to Warner Robins to see All Shook Up and hang out with people there. Then Saturday....well, let me just say...I'll probably be in Macon with people...and it'll be a gooooooooooood time. : )


I don't have a video to post today. I'll have one at some point.

And I won't have another post until Sunday probably because I didn't feel like dragging my Mac with me to GA.

LOVE!

I'm coooollllddddd.

It was an official snow day. The first one ever during these four years I've been at UE. I would not have wanted to go to class today anyway. It took me 2 hours to get the ice off of my car plus a few cuts and freaking COLD hands. haha. I need to invest in better gloves.

Now the only reason I ventured out into the snowy abyss is FREE PANCAKE DAY. Well, Josh, Sarah, and I went at around 6:30PM to get some. We get there, sit in a booth. The waitress asks for our order, and I ask about the free pancakes. She gets this sad look on her face and tells us they stopped serving at 6:00PM. 6:00PM!!!!!! On the website, it said they would be serving free pancakes until 10:00PM. Grrrrr. I was soo sad and disappointed and angry. I just wanted some damn free pancakes! But....we gave in and I ordered pancakes, hashbrowns, and eggs. BOOOOOOO. I'm still mad.

One highlight of the day was that I finished all my responses for Senior Sem and Environmental Science before 11:00PM. That's impressive. Although, there is a possibility we might not have our morning classes tomorrow.

I've been a bad person, and I haven't found any amusing new videos to put on here. : (

Alas! I must start packing for Georgia!! Leaving Thursday! Yay!

SNOW!

Lots of it.

When I went to Environmental Science, it wasn't snowing. After class, it was. I swear there's already 2 inches on the ground.

And I have to drive home in that. : (

HAPPY COMO!!!
Yay for being on cleaning crew. When I went for my first hour of Como work, there were a bunch of seniors on cleaning crew: Brendan, Sarah, Erika, Patrick, Taylor, Matt, Clay, and me. So, Lank got us together to clean the May Studio and the Rehearsal Room. We lovingly dubbed ourselves Senior Cleaning Crew '08! And we are seeking revenge on Chris Minnick for putting us on cleaning crew. It's like being placed at the kids table at Thanksgiving. Shitty. ha. Although the upside is that we didn't do much and were done in like 20 minutes. ha.

Psychology is looming over my head. Tuesday at 1:15PM will not be pleasant.

I want to find some fun, new music...anyone have any suggestions of what I should listen to??

Lazy Sunday...

Boy was I tired this morning. I probably shouldn't have had that whole bottle of wine last night. But last night was pretty entertaining. Winter Whisperrrrsssssss. ha.

Tonight is a good night for television. A new Brothers and Sisters episode shows at 9PM, and Mark and Olly: Living with the Mek premieres on the Travel Channel. I'm pumped. Yeah...I'm that girl. I love tv.

Unfortunately, my day has not been extremely entertaining. If there's something you want me to talk about let me know.

winter whispersssss....

Thank you Saturday night.

Yay for being drunk and going to Winter Whispers (a really lame version of college prom).

And yay for being drunk and still dominating at Guitar Hero III. Take that Taylor Campbell!!!

I love drinking a whole bottle of wine...by myself...hahaah.

Okay....I need to drink some water and eat some food before passing out. 

Unfortunately...no video today. But there will be one tomorrow!

Tomorrow I MUST DO WORK.

love to all.

Ohh Fridays.

TGIF everyone!

Another week down. It feels good, though next week is gonna kick me in the butt. It's Company Monday, and I'm on cleaning crew...AGAIN. I still cannot believe that Scapin opens next week. Weird. I have a hella hard Psychology test on Tuesday, and I bet my hour long voice lesson is probably going to be brutal.

It will be just fine because on Thursday at 1:00PM...I will be driving to Georgia! Yay! I'll be heading to Warner Robins to see All Shook Up and to get crunk with all my Warner Robins/Macon friends. Plus, I'm looking forward to a free lunch with mom and dad on Friday. Then maybe an adventure to Savannah or Atlanta...I haven't decided. Savannah's currently winning. Hopefully Josh will go on this adventure with me...he is scheduled to work on Thursday. Boo.

No one is doing anything tonight which is why I'm sitting at home at 10:50PM. That's okay though because I feel that tomorrow will be a good night.

I watched the movie Gone Baby Gone the other night. I suggest everyone go and rent it. The screenplay is goooood. Nice job Ben Affleck. And I heard that the same guy who wrote Mystic River wrote Gone Baby Gone. I LOVED Mystic River.

Your video clip for today is what I like to call Human Tetris. You may have seen this before. We should try this drunk. I bet it would be pretty funny. Thank you Japan for giving us awesome game shows. heh.

A tout a l'heure!

Should I go to Dollar Beer?

I am so proud of myself today. I actually got off my ass and was super productive today.

The day started off with my voice lesson at noon. I thought it was going to be horrible. But, I pushed through my congestion and did pretty well. Geissinger was impressed with my breath control today and my resonance. I'll be a singing beast in no time. Especially when I have an hour long lesson with her next week (because I missed last week).

Then it was off to lunch and Child and Adolescent Psychology. That class is the bane of my existence every Tuesday and Thursday at 1:15PM. BORING AS HELL. Therefore, I bring my laptop and check my facebook and myspace all the time. But today...today was good. We talked about pregnancy and birth. Felton kept cracking jokes and talking about how huge his wife got when she was pregnant. She is now a svelte 106 pounds. Can you believe that a 50+ year old lady who is 106 pounds after having 5 kids! Shit. That made today entertaining...and now I am racking my brain wondering why I want to have kids and have a small human pop out of my hoo-hah. *sigh*

Oh! I finally finished all the recordings for Dark of the Moon tonight. The cast will have a good laugh listening to my piano playing and singing, I'm sure. So will Lank.

Kenny and Jonathan called from thespian conference. That made me happy, but I'm also jealous because I would rather be there than here...being cold and taking class. They also told me that my name is in the program. YESSSSSS. That's right, I am sooo cool.

And now I'm here....writing this. Josh should be here about now. We're gonna hang out before picking up Heath from work. So we'll probably not go to Dollar Beer.

Your video of the day.....

Bonsoir!

Happy Hump Day!

It sure feels like a hump day. Blah blah blah. And it's back to being cold and rainy. LAME is what I say!

Though having a roommate bust into the apartment slightly inebriated is highly entertaining...

I did discover the wonderfulness of Garageband today, though. For Dark of the Moon, I have to create a CD with the songs from the back of the script...meaning I have to go play and sing these songs and record them. haha. Me playing the piano and singing...I am NO Alicia Keys. But it was fun because I got to explore the application, and it's super cool. Plus, I can make my own Podcasts whenever I want. Yessssssss.

So the recordings are coming along, and I sound like S-H-I-T. But that's okay. I am not up to par lately because I'm laying the smackdown on the remnants of my cold. No more sore throat! At least I have my voice lesson tomorrow, so when I do record, I'll sound good.

Oh! I hope you watched Project Runway tonight. Thank GOD Ricky is gone. And yes to WWE wrestlers. hahaha. After every episode, I want to be best friends with Christian even more. I love that little boy! FIERCE.

This is important, and I had to put it near the end of this post!! The line-up for Bonnaroo 2008 is out AND tickets go on sale next weekend! AHHHH! I would love to go. Go look at the line up at www.bonnaroo.com. GLORIOUS.

Maybe this should be a regular thing...but I want to share yet another video, that I absolutely love. It's from Zach Galifianakis. Awesome.

Adieu!

Well hello Super Tuesday!

Happy Fat Tuesday and Super Tuesday. I hope you are either watching political pundits discussing who is winning what state or DRUNK for Mardi Gras. One is a little more exciting than the other, but you know.

I am spending my rainy night watching CNN and playing some Guitar Hero III. Yes, yes...I am being lame and nerdy, but I accept that. Plus, I don't want to go out into what I know is a disaster zone. Thank you tornado warnings, severe thunderstorms, lightning, and thunder...you scared the shit out of me at 5AM this morning. It's like Thor decided to come out and play...or somebody really pissed off God today.

But I digress. 

I hope everyone voted. Obama took Georgia...which made me a little sad. I was crossing my fingers for Hillary, but alas! We shall see how everything pans out!

On another note, while being bored and taking a break after playing Through The Fire and Flames, I rediscovered the beauty that is "Rejected." That lovely 9 minute cartoon by Don Hertzfeldt. I forgot how brilliant it was. With lines like "I am a banana!" and "I'm feeling fat and sassy!" who couldn't love it? But anyways...I thought I should share this masterpiece today.

And with that I leave you. Hopefully, no tornado sweeps you away.

Could Spring come now please?

It was in the 60's today. I don't like it when Spring decides to say hello for a day, then decides to be 30 degrees outside the next day. When trying to recover from the plague, this does not help.

So Heath got a job at Blockbuster...which means...free movie and video game rentals. Our apartment is all set. Movies to watch all the time AND new games to play on the Wii. Now, if only we had another guitar for Guitar Hero III, then it would be amazing.

This afternoon I received a voicemail from my students saying that they miss me. You can call me lame, but it made my day. Hearing kids in the background yelling Miss Cabatingaaaaaan is priceless. February 14 can't come soon enough. I just want to be driving down to Warner Robins right now! I miss them so.

On another note, Super Tuesday is tomorrow! I'm very excited to see how that all pans out. 

Hopefully tomorrow brings some excitement and some warm weather...maybe?? please??

How I love thee....Soup or Bowl?

Superbowl Sunday has always been my favorite Sunday of the year. What could be better than eating gratuitous amounts of chips, hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream and drinking lots o' beer and coke? I sadly only did the eating and drinking of coke...no beer. : (

Plus, the Giants won which put a huge smile on my face. In your face Tom Brady! I must admit, I do love those Manning boys. Peyton and the Colts last year, now Eli and the Giants. Glorious, Glorious.

I was disappointed however with the Superbowl ads. Many of them left me feeling very blah. Some were very good, though. My two favorites were the Doritos commercial with the mousetrap and the Firestone tire commercial with the squirrel. What do you think?

And have you seen the Paul Brogan Superbowl rap?? Check that out. It's pretty funny. I'm impressed with his rapping skillzzzzz. 

Alright! That is it. My first post on my new blog. NICE.  Good night to all and have a good tomorrow!!
