Dancing Through Life

After almost a week, I'm going to update.

Last week

Boy was it crazy! Let's pray we don't have weeks like that again. It was long and some of the days, well, sucked. At any rate, at least you learn something from each time you find a situation difficult. That's what we call history, ladies and gentlemen!

Brother's Grimm, Corpse Bride

Last night I went with family and saw The Brother's Grimm. I liked it! It's not a comedy, however, it is a really cool fantasy film. Every now and then there is some comic relief, such as a kid turning into a gingerbread man...Good stuff. And we also saw the trailer for Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. It is going to be awesome beyond belief, it comes out in September.

School

Yahoo! School is starting really soon and I think it will be the perfect thing to solve my boredom. I bought two textbooks to the tune of $176 and I still have to buy one more for about $80. Fun, I know. I know a lot of people will say, "When you get to college, it'll be like college, blah blah blah." If I've learned ANYTHING from life, it is that I can't really listen to other's opinions about school. I simply cannot because I need to make my own judgments and not come in with some bias towards a professor, etc. It happened from my transition to high school, therefore, I must let myself make my own mistakes now.

Alright, I think that's it for the moment...

Later days!

It Truly Is Six Feet Under Now...

What a great, yet sad series finale!

I will truly miss you, Six Feet Under.

Congratulations to Alan Ball, and the cast and crew of Six Feet Under.

It was a great run.

In the spirit of Rocky Horror. Again, I do not purposely try to infringe on any copyright laws, etc. and will comply instantly.

It was supposed to be version 7, but I screwed up, so I'll fix it later.

ELPHABA
(spoken) My dear Father:

BOTH
There's been some confusion
Over rooming here at Shiz:

ELPHABA
But of course, I'll care for Nessa:

GLINDA
But of course, I'll rise above it:

BOTH
For I know that's how you'd want me to respond
Yes, there's been some confusion
For you see, my room-mate is:

GALINDA
Unusually and exceedingly peculiar
And altogether quite impossible to describe:

ELPHABA
Blonde.

GALINDA
What is this feeling?
So sudden and new?

ELPHABA
I felt it the moment
I laid eyes on you:

GALINDA
My pulse is rushing:

ELPHABA
My head is reeling:

GALINDA
My face is flushing:

BOTH
What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame,
Does it have a name?
Yes!:Loathing
Unadulterated loathing

GALINDA
For your face

ELPHABA
Your voice

GALINDA
Your clothing

BOTH
Let's just say - I loathe it all
Ev'ry little trait, however small
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
With simple utter loathing
There's a strange exhilaration
In such total detestation
It's so pure and strong!
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing
Loathing you
My whole life long!

STUDENTS
Dear Galinda, you are just too good
How do you stand it? I don't think I could!
She's a terror! She's a Tartar!
We don't mean to show a bias,
But Galinda, you're a martyr!

GALINDA
Well: these things are sent to try us!

STUDENTS
Poor Galinda, forced to reside
With someone so disgusticified
We all just want to tell you:
We're all on your side!
We share your:

GALINDA AND ELPHABA STUDENTS
What is this feeling Loathing
So sudden and new? Unadulterated loathing
I felt the moment For her face, her voice
I laid eyes on you Her clothing
My pulse is rushing Let's just say:
My head is reeling We loathe it all!
Oh, what is this feeling? Ev'ry little trait
Does it have a name? Makes our very flesh
Yes: Begin to crawl:.
Ahhh: Ahhh:

ALL
Loathing!

GALINDA AND ELPHABA ALL
There's a strange exhilaration Loathing
In such total detestation Loathing

And I will be loathing Loathing
For forever loathing Loathing
Truly deeply loathing Loathing you
My whole Loathing
Life long! Unadulterated loathing

ELPHABA
Boo!

Not Much Exciting

2005-07-31T23:07:00.000-07:00

I went to the beach today for the second Sunday in a row. It was awesome! The only differences between this week and last week is as following: the water temperature was 62 today as opposed to the 68-70 we experienced last week and the fact that we had more time this Sunday. It's funny watching all of the different people at the beach.

Let me explain.

Last weekend my mom and I watched this guy try to teach his son how to throw a Frisbee....very awkwardly. This weekend, I saw a guy try to stoke a miniature "throw-away" barbeque pit fire with a plastic shovel. Hopefully it was wood, because that would have been absolutely hilarious. Furthermore, he was trying to shelter the wind from the fire with a boogie-board. Enough said. It's not like I haven't done anything dumb in my life, but this was just...odd.

Not much else to report at this very moment.

I saw another one of those articles in People Magazine about people who have been fired for talking about their jobs on their blogs. Ever since I've heard about this, it's been my policy not to discuss job-matters online. I won't post more than a "work begins tomorrow" or such. I, for one, like my job and would like to keep it as long as I can. That's why I never say where I work, and etc. Therefore, if someone from work is reading this: I love my job and would do nothing to purposely be terminated! :)

With that said, if you follow Six Feet Under you'll be as shocked as I was to find (you know who!) die. It'll be interesting to see that all be played out in the last episodes of the entire series in August. Speaking of which, in about an hour here, it'll be August! A new month brings new opportunities and such....like college!

Enough for now...! There's an interesting quote from the musical Wicked:

"Happy is what happens...when your dreams...come...true!"

Rise and Shine, Sleepy Head!

There is much to catch my faithful Internet readers on. Of course, assuming that you all still check despite the fact that it's been days since I've last blogged. I guess that is not of much consequence.

For the last five days, I've certainly felt like Gregor Samsa. If you don't recall, in Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis, Gregor woke up one morning...a giant bug. Now, I'm not saying that I've sprouted antennae and I've had apples thrown at my back. I'm merely suggesting my lazy, vegetative behavior brought on my this darn head cold.

Seems almost every year I get one, too. I had one when I went to Canada a few years back...then I remember I had one last year as well. I don't get sick during winter (knock on wood), yet, during the summer I am the most susceptible! Peculiar indeed.

At any rate, I was able to finish Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Yes, I am shocked like many of you. Yet, I can't comment on that because I know many of you haven't finished the book or even started it. The next time I get the itch to spoil it, I'll find one of those spoiler HTML codes so that I can discuss it freely! :)

Consider it a common courtesy, from me...to you!

In other news, I am gearing back up to go to work. Sounds like fun. Then it's off to college, I register soon...very soon.

'Tis all for now.

I wish you all the best of health, and to not to succumb to the summertime flu!

Harry Potter Personality Quiz by Pirate Monkeys Inc.

I knew Hermione was a brown!! I am somewhat brown, as well, and somewhat green.

Another interesting website I stumbled upon a few months ago when looking for ideas to volunteer. Apparently, candy "stripers" no longer exist. They have been replaced by the ever so popular, candy stripper.

2005-07-18T19:36:00.000-07:00

Minorly shocked when I found this. I was trying to access a Church World Service website to find the "Shells into bells" campaign.

I'm back from camp after about eight days or so. For all of those people who e-mailed me, you'll stop receiving the annoying, "I'm out from July blah to blah blah" message.

It was quite an experience that I'm not sure I'm ready to start typing. Yet, I've come to the conclusion that my computer and television are not number 1 priorities in life. They aren't. For the last month or two, they filled in when boredom set in. But hey, they don't have to be.

If you see me start posting irregularly, that would be the reason why. I'll still enjoy making a large post here and there for people to read--but it's not the same.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince came out on Friday night, midnight, when I was at camp. Yahoo! I bought it yesterday at Costco for cheaper than what I would have paid at Barnes and Noble even with my mom's discount card.

Disneyland is now officially 50 as of today. None of this 5-5-05 stuff. Disneyland opened on July 17, 1955. And Space Mountain has reopened...I must go and ride it soon! Last time I checked, I heard people were waiting 145 minutes, because all of the Fastpass had been distributed early on.

Last night I also saw the new Willy Wonka movie. Really cool! It is definitely Tim Burton. I saw the trailor for Corpse Bride (another Burton film with Depp.) That looks stunning! They even played "What's This?" in the background!

Later.

La La La La La

Welcome to Saturday!

Last night was a relief--I am now officially CPR and first aid certified. I bought myself and mom one of those cpr mouth guards, just in case duty calls someday. While we were absorbing our final information for three hours, the new Degrassi premiered.

Boy is it good! Then again, I am a freak and enjoy this show just as much or more than the next person. It's funny because we love to watch the drama of it all, but would hate for that to happen in our own lives. A little hypocritical, no?

Nothing much else is going on today. It's Fourth of July weekend and I'm stuck at home doing nothing! Don't get me wrong--I don't have a problem staying home...I just have nothing to do. Perhaps I'll go to the park later and take pictures from the hill before they demolish it. (That last part is just conjecture, but how else do you build houses?)

I'll be back to blog when I'm excessively bored again!
