Quote of the day: "They're like sex, except I'm having them!" ~ Fry, Futurama
Trip Report: I don't know. He and his nose is probably still handsome as hell. I missed my fix on Wednesday. There's Saturday, though.
Listening to:
The Joshua Tree, U2. GREAT cd ~ why the hell did it take me so long to get it??
Wish The Cure. No, I haven't worn it out yet.
Rubberneck The Toadies "I can promise you, you'll stay as beautiful..." Bwahahahahahaha....
Weathered Creed. Well...I've only listened to it once and the jury is still out. I don't know if I had a change of heart about them or if I've simply heard My Sacrifice so much that my resistance was worn down.
It's Lucy Lawless and my dad's birthday today.
Whoo - hoo! First tornado watch and warning of the season. Prime weather watching season is here! Let's hope that there's something worth watching this year. That also means that I need to re-enforce my shielding around the place.
These last few days have been rather irritating in many ways and I will be so glad when that damn play is over. Wednesday, I went over to help build the wall sculpture I designed. First mistake was that I went after being in the studio for two hours and didn't take any down time to get out of 'right brain mode.' I was very much a space cadet. On top of that, the <_insert your favorite word here_> twerp in charge of building the stage decided to threaten me with cutting whatever designs that wasn't built by today, whether I had anything to do with those designs or not. Never mind that the play doesn't go on until April 11th. I think he figured out real fast that bullying doesn't work with me. I said to his face, "Well, I don't know anything about that because those aren't my designs and you'll have to either talk to the one who worked on it or Ms. Mulcahy." while I was thinking, "F#@* you, what do I care?"
I think that both ideas must of have gotten across because he didn't bother me for the rest of the time I was there.
Between my advisor telling me that I need to be 'more aggressive' (I have to snicker whenever she tells me that. I haven't seen much there that warrants being aggressive. Maybe I have the wrong attitude but it's a damn school play, not Carnegie Hall) and the attitudes down in the theater (with the exception of Brendan, Dr. Larsen and one or two others), I have had enough.
It's funny too ~ it's almost as if I've learned a new word. I keep imagining Eddie Murphy from his SNL days saying, "Can you say 'F&%#' boys and girls? I knew you could" and then there's the line from the Cure's Wendy Time: "You know you could use a word like feel or follow or f*&$." (How does he 'pop' it like that?)
You know, lately I feel as if I've woke up after a long, long sleep and I'm catching up on all the things I missed. I can't get enough music and sound ~ right down to language. Granted, it isn't anything spectacular. It's more like Stephen King says (and I'm paraphrasing) ~ instead of the best steak, it's more like a Big Mac and fries and that is entirely alright. It's all good.
Daaaaaaamn...Bono has an incredible voice, especially on With or Without You. I've always known that but hearing him through headphones...ah maaaaan. If I could be one tenth the vocalist he is, I would be very accomplished indeed. As the song goes, he has spoke with the tongue of angels ~ hell, he has one!
Speaking of vocalists and voices, I sent an email to the voice instructor at Vol State. I'm thinking about taking vocal lessons and I wanted to know if there was anything I needed to know beforehand. I've always wanted to take singing lessons but never did, for various reasons. Now I want to see if I really have a grain of talent and hopefully prop up my self confidence a bit at the same time. One more step in the process of breaking out ~ look out y'all, I'm going to be unstoppable. Bwahahahahahaha!!
O.k...That's enough rambling for now. I'm tired of sitting in front of this computer.
