| New Broadway Musical |
| 08.30.07 (9:28 pm) [edit] |

This musical is definetely on my list of musicals I want to see.
Off hand, this man, if he can sing, would make a good Gomez Addams:  (I'll take a heterosexual transvestite over a hypocritical gay republican any day of the week). I slipped and fell in a big puddle right on my ass on the 3rd floor of the art building today due to a leaky water fountain. I should see if I can get a semester or two of college paid for out of it. And this just in, Spirit Halloween Superstore accused of animal cruelty (by me). It is not clear yet whether Michael Vick is involved. |

I can't wait till this little 120GB guy gets here:
I got a really good price on eBay for it. My computer has absolutely no memory left. Which means nothing, like anti-virus, will update, YouTube skips, I can't run certain programs, and a new fun development is I can't print stuff. Of course, it should have been here already, except that the UPS person insists on coming at the precise window of time no one is here. Another day of school! There is only one man in my teaching class. I'm not entirely sure I belong there. My husband is being more a part of the cause than the solution of helping me kick my ass about finishing that long-awaited forest scene. Maybe next Monday I should just do an all-nighter and try to finish most of it. Current Mood:the stupid mood thing won't come up. I wonder if that has anything to do with the drive being full. |

School starts tomorrow...another fucking pointless semester. It will be the last pointless semester; I will either pass and finally do more college, or I will fail and kill myself.
It's been a good summer; went home some, went to Vegas and Disneyland, made some money... Yippy skippy, here we go! Current Mood:  blah

| My Super-Great Body |
| 08.20.07 (10:25 pm) [edit] |
|
So, because no one bothered to to turn the TV off after Cops (which is exactly what advertisers/programmers hope for) I am sorta watching Tyra Banks Show with this fashion designer who's pushing his book. The whole point of the show, seemingly well-inteneded enough, is to make every woman just feel super-great about their body! Yay!
Here is how Tyra intends to make me feel super-great: She picked some girls that claim to hate their bodies (but I suspect are actually just actresses or models), but are diversely shaped and complain that they don't look like the girls in the magazines who get to wear clothes by top fashion designers like the book-guy. To show them just how super-great their bodies are, these 4 girls get to wear dresses designed for their super-great body types. The lesson is of course everyone has a super-great body and can be sexy...provided that they can afford clothes by the designer book-guy. Everyone else is SOL. Sorry! But don't forget when you are stuck shopping at Target instead of Harrod's just how super-great your body is. What else? They show off the designer book-guy's dresses, which are all dresses worn by the waif-types we are supposed to be rallying against tonight. (But my body is still super-great!) Alls I knows is the And that is why I am failing miserably at only eating 1500 calories a day... Current Mood:whatever... what's on:The Simpsons - Who Shot Mr. Burns |

| Movies I've Seen Lately |
| 08.15.07 (10:56 pm) [edit] |

I'm all about subtitling these days Rocky Horror Picture Show I saw Rocky Horror at the Midnight Madness at the Cameras with Kelly. Much to our surprise, they did it like the weekly midnight theater shows, with an RHPS virgin sacrifice, people acting it out up front, and the audience shouting things like, "Slut!" "Asshole!" and "Columbia's already eaten Eddie!" The silliest thing about the sacrifice was that it was mostly kids about 16 who had never seen the movie, and they made them say something about "The movie my mom didn't want me to see" as if their mothers didn't see it when it was a new movie. It was probably the most fun I have ever had at the movies. Next time, the big show with costumes! Hairspray I saw this today also with Kelly. I hoped it would be good. It was better and funnier than I expected. It was well-cast and lots of fun. I highly recommend it. Fast Food Nation I would have rather eaten a shit-contaminated fast food burger than watch this. It is long, (where they might have shaved about 15 minutes off if they'd just tightened up some of the shots), they seemed to have no music budget, and by the time they did try to shock you with the blood and gore of "what it's really like" they'd already described it in so much detail by the end it wasn't all that shocking. In screenwriting 101 they tell you to try to have one hero and everyone else is a supporting player in the their story. In the first few minutes of the story I was expecting the most famous actor, Greg Kinear to be that hero. Instead, they opted to tell a bunch of other stories that were long, boring, and pointless all saying the same thing, "Fast food meat is bad, mmmmkay?" It is interesting to note, although the movie focuses on the fictitious Mickey's and their "Big One" an awful lot of big fast food names I should have pushed harder for seeing Idiocracy, a movie about a future where people are mindless commercialist pigs. A movie that sounds right up my alley, and is part of my idea for a dystopian comic strip where I co-star as an 77-year-old grandma. In conclusion Midnight Rocky Horror fun, Hairspray excellent, Fast Food Nation terrible. |

| Bush Chokes |

Saw a headline along these lines on the cover of The Sun tabloid at work: George W. Bush chokes on Rice Pudding Get it? Here's a hint. This should give a slight insight to how my mind works. Although I expected the headline to actually say, "George W. Bush chokes on someone else's vomit." |

| The last week: With Subtitles |
| 08.09.07 (10:48 am) [edit] |

I'll subtitle everything so you can decide whether you want to read about it or not. The Doctor Issue After being frustrated about my medical card not coming my mom said "Just try going back to Kaiser." When I had no problem getting an appointment I assumed I was OK. When I got there, I was informed I was no longer covered by them and instead of $20, it was going to cost $100. And being right there and in immediate need of birth control (the only reason for the visit) I had no choice. After being spread apart, prodded, felt up and told I'm too fat, I got some birth control and was on my way to LA. I told my mom what happened. She agreed to pay half since it was her idea. But now I can get the stuff for the next two years if I want to. The Housing Issue As I mentioned earlier, the dorm that I was going to stay in for $16/day wouldn't accomodate my new week. So I spent the night at Motel 6 on Monday. When I got to class on Tuesday, they said we could go back into the dorms. That was great. But anticipating I was going to be in a hotel room with linens, I had to run out to Target on Wednesday morning and buy stuff. That night, I slept under precariously placed t-shirts and on a wad of clean underwear. The Class Issue I think I improved a lot over the week. Hopefully enough... But I am so glad I went. Now I just have to work and The Disneyland Issue While driving down to LA I called work and was able to get Monday off. That left me with the whole 16 hour day to spend in Disneyland. So that worked out well. I had lots of fun there with my dad and brother. Wanted to ride the new Submarines, of course. But there was a 2 hour line for it. I remember when I was a little girl my favorite ride (for reasons I'm not clear on now) was the submarines and it always seemed like the last thing we did and my dad had to take me because no one else wanted to go. And there was never any line because no one else in Disneyland wanted to go on it either. Yet now it has a 2 hr line. I also think it's interesting that as soon as John Lasseter takes over the Disney Animation Studios and Imagineering, all of a sudden there are a bunch of rides based on Pixar movies. Coming soon to the California Adventure: A Toy Story dark ride. In talks: A "Cars" ride. The Greedy Bitch Issue We looked for things to find for my mom as an appropriate 30th anniversary present in Disneyland. The only thing that was found was a drawing of Sleeping Beauty which we called and asked if she had. We bought it but still didn't have much else. So we knew we had to go the place nobody wanted to go, Solvang to look for ornaments. After going 2 hours out of our way, driving through tourist traffic, spending an obscene amount of money on pastries, we got two ornaments. Of course the first thing my mom bugs my dad about is, "Where's my drawing?! Where's my ornament?! Gimme my presents! I want stuff! I want it now! The snow globe is nice, but I want better stuff! Gimme!" He gave her one of the ornaments intended to be saved I guess based on the That pissed me off when she (yes, she) told me about it. The Cat Issue After calling and calling the property managers about 10 times before the end of the month we didn't get any response. So the cat was not purchased. The other day I called about another issue. They said the extra cleaning deposit would be $500. So a cat is not happening anytime in the near future. Probably not until we get a house (also not anytime in the near future). And other issues I saw The Simpsons movie the other night. I guess I liked it. Albert Brooks was the best part (as he often is). I was disappointed Sideshow Bob wasn't in it. The animation is so beautiful compared to the TV show. Friday night Kelly and I are going to a midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show...i hope. And now to work yet another 12/3/9 day! Current Mood:hairy |
