Did you know?

If you have all of your friends' blogs open at once and let all the music play, you see rainbows and eat their souls.

Wheeeeee!!!!!!

I saw the Star Trek movie. It was awesome. I might make a video about it once I get more energy. I've had to walk around all day on a bowl of Ramen because the even the thought of eating something makes me nauseous. Although I'm feeling a twinge of hunger right now, so that's good.

Anyway, if I don't regain the energy to make a video I'll post all my thoughts on it here.

Live long and prosper.

Ugh. Sick.

As long as I stay still I don't feel like I'm about to puke.

Watching old Star Trek episodes because I have no motivation to study.

Shut up. They're entertaining. Although ridiculously sexist. The one girl on the ship does nothing but prance around in revealing costumes.

AGHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGHFUCKINGFUCKINGAGHAGHAGHAGHAGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, yeah, Laramie Project. Starting was good. Ending was good. Middle was garbled, mixed up nonsense. I am still a bit aggravated. WE SKIPPED SEVEN SCENES ENTIRELY!!!!!!! SEVEN!!!!!!

All right, let me see if I can explain this a bit more rationally. Since the play is basically just one big scene, with no one going on or off and no changes of scenery, it is divided into a ton of little "moments". There is almost no way to keep track of all of these moments. People circulate constantly, so you pretty much have to rely on cues. If you miss a cue, or someone fucks up your cue, you're basically screwed. We had a few small mistakes at first that I won't agonize over, but then somebody really fucked up. Just after the scene with the homecoming parade, there's a scene, and then I have a scene, and there's a scene with the reverend and Amanda Gronich, and then they actually REPORT that Matthew dies, and ALL THIS SHIT! I guess there are a lot of people to blame. The person that didn't come in with their scene. Whoever jumped in suddenly with some scene much later. I guess we're all to blame, really, for not realizing something was wrong. Once we realized it, there was nothing we could do. We couldn't go back. No one knew what to do, so we just kept going with whatever.

I guess I'm not as mad as much as I'm disappointed. I was looking forward to performing my scene, and looking forward to seeing the ones that were coming up. There was some big things that we missed. I feel bad for people like Ahsha and Elizabeth, who had a good and informative scene that got missed, although that was a different screwup. I feel bad for Natalie and Ben, too, who had a big scene. I especially feel bad for Max, he had a lot of his biggest part in the play skipped.

We've been working on this the whole quarter, and we had one chance to get it right. And I guess we did, I mean, the parts that we got right were great, everyone did really well, I think. But we had one chance to get it right, and we fucked it up.

We did ok. I'm sure the audience got a little confused but didn't really notice much. But for me, and all of us, I guess, as actors, even if the audience didn't know how badly we fucked up, WE did.

ARGH angry whiny blog post makes me feel slightly better. How did you like it Gaia?

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!

Getting more and nervous about the performance! Almost an hour until we begin! MEEEEEP!

I'm not THAT nervous, but the worst situations are running through my head. Like, I'm late, or I have to go to the bathroom, or some bad shit happens. I know it won't, but there'll probably be at least one screwup. We're just kids, and some of us know our lines better than others. It's funny how many things can go wrong with the setup when it's just rows of chairs and a table.

But whatever. It's cool.

Finals, OH SHI-

t!


Um yeah. Finals next week. I'm not too worried, but yeah I am a little bit. I definitely slacked off more this semester than I did last one. So... Spanish will be a breeze, the Acting final is the Laramie Project performance, which I'm sure I'll do well on unless I suddenly choke, Physics... I don't even want to think about Physics right now, I'll just have to reread each of the readings seven times, English doesn't seem so bad, I've got the vocab down, I'll have to study those pesky phrases and then come up with some sort of essay, Math'll be lovely, Iserman's such a sweetheart. He basically gave us a packet with practice tests to use if we wanted and is giving us the whole week to do whatever we want, History I usually do well on, but I just saw the review sheet and... wow. We learned a lot of shit in history. Stupid Rome.

In a late bout of organization I've made a sticky schedule and to-do list. Because I spend more time on the computer than with my agenda.

But do you care? You do not.

I wish I couldn't.

Been having fun on the internet lately...

SO... I found this amazingly cool site called The Selby, where they photograph really cool and interesting people in their "creative spaces". It's SO COOL! These artists and designers and chefs and stylists and writers with all sorts of beautiful houses and studios.

THEN I has chilling on the youtubes when I found this adorable video with Kate Micucci from Garfunkel and Oates. Grace totally rocks for introducing them to us. ANYWAY, it was called Dear Deer and it had a cute little toddler in a deer costume and this little kid as a hunter and it was ADORABLE! So then I went to Kate's site that was in the description and oohed and aahed over her acting bits in scrubs and some other shows. But then I was like "What about Riki?" so I went and found Riki Lindhome's site and SHE's been in a bunch of shows and movies and stuff too! Both of their sites are super cool, and I particularly enjoyed a long clip of a webseries Riki's appeared in, basically about a bunch of butch hardcore lesbians living in LA's criminal underworld.


WOO! I feel very tired. I also love National Geographic. And 60 minutes. They were reporting on this rehabilitation center is Saudi Arabia for "terrorists" released from Guantanamo, and they were showing these intimidating Saudi Arabian guys drawing pictures with crayons. It was so cute.
