El Cheapo

I just bought a book on amazon for $0.55. Score. Of course they always get you with the shipping. I think it was like $3.49 so all together it was $4.04. But hey, it's still cheaper than Crooks-A-Million or Cons & Noble. Ok so my funnies aren't always funny but I try.

Oh yes, the book that I purchased. Wouldn't YOU like to know?

Just Teasing. It's

I Know This Much Is True
By Wally Lamb

I'll let you know if it's worthwhile

Tappa Tappa Tappa

I'm taking a tappa tappa tap class. Should be rollicking good fun. I'm not be sarcastic, I'm being serious. SERIOUS!

Guilt

I was walking my oh so spoiled pooch around the block without a plastic bag in hand, when, of course, a plastic bag happened to be much needed. This is ALWAYS the case. I think he knows that it's pretty funny if he sees I don't have a plastic bag with me to pick up his lovely excrement. So like any rational dog owner with a squatting pooch, I look around to see if I've been caught on hidden camera, I bend over and do the fake pick-up with my bare hand(YEAH RIGHT) and I quickly pick up the pace as to get out of the general viewing area as quickly as humanly(and dogly) possible. Now, of course, my paranoid schizophrenic side comes out and I imagine that I was being watched through the window whilst my huge dog left huge poop on this person's lawn. So what do I do when I get home? I grab a plastic bag and get on my bike and......................yeah.

I deserve a frickin medal.

I didn't get cast

Boo. So After the director makes me wait 4 DAYS without any word, she calls tonight and says she couldn't use me. What a load of crap. Now what am I going to do with my free time??? I think I'll take like ten dance classes and that will occupy my time. This blows.

Still Waiting...

It's Wednesday and I have yet to hear if I have been cast in Urinetown. The worst part is that two of my friends already found out that they made it so why haven't I?? AAAAHHHHHHH!!!! I need to get out of the house and stop staring at the phone.

Auditions held today

The big Urinetown auditions are today. I am a little nervous since I don't know what to expect but I'll get over that(hopefully). I've gotten a lot better at auditioning so I should be fine. There are six parts for women so maybe only six women will show up. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Just kidding. I'm awesome and I will kick all their butts. ;)

In other unrelated news, I am going to see Rob Thomas at the King Center in October. Woohoo. I think it will be a good show. I like all of his solo songs so far!

If I find my digital camera I'll try to post a picture of my Georgia trip. I wish I brought the camera when we were all floating down a river on inner tubes. That rocked!

Going up to Georgia...

gonna eat alot of peaches. No seriously, that's where I'll be, and yes, if they are in season, I will partake in the latter. Call my cell, if it works up there ;) ;)

For any who care

My Day at work :)

-a group of seven people showed up to the theatre and claimed to have tickets held for them which were nowhere to be found/they were at the WRONG theatre for the WRONG show( and did not apologize for being rude) because apparently it was still our fault

-a woman threw up during the play, on the carpet, at the feet of another couple. She threw up again in the lobby trashcan and then again in the bathroom.

-another woman had knee troubles and had to be escorted to her car that was illegally parked in-between 2 handicapped spaces because she said she acquired a limp that day. She was hoping that the office staff would talk to any police officer that would want to ticket her because she had just acquired the limp but had not acquired a parking decal. She then brandished me with a tube of lip gloss for my help.

-a very very drunk man tried to follow a woman into the woman's bathroom in a vain effort to find out her name

-above mentioned bathroom smelled like a hemp festival for some odd reason

Another day, another dollar

98% of the folks would answer a red hammer while doing this exercise.

I'm on the wagon

The technology wagon, that is. I finally have DSL. I HATE DIAL-UP!! So now, life is good because I can search for more-jobs that I'm unqualified for-than ever before! Wait a minute...

It's Friday, and it doesn't even matter because I have to work straight through the weekend. Yuck. At least I have a nice vacation awaiting me next week in Georgia. That is, assuming I get paid before I leave because the fundage is a little low. Whateve...

So the latest news on the job front is that I applied for another zookeper position in Boston. I'm holding my breath until they call. Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup(the sound of me holding my breath, duh!)

How do they expect me to wait any longer???

The opening date for the new movie version of the Jonathan Larson musical "Rent" has been pushed back to November 23 from November 11. Directed by Chris Columbus, "Rent" stars six performers from the original Broadway cast of the musical - Taye Diggs, Wilson Jermaine Heredia, Jesse L. Martin, Idina Menzel, Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

I asked my bosses if I could try out for Urinetown and they said yes!! I am so HAPPY!! Now this means I might not be able to do the holiday show but hopefully I can do both. I always want to do everything and not pass anything up but sometimes I just have to get over the fact that I can't do everything I want to do all at once. I need more hours in the day!

Ureeka!!

Is that how you spell it? oh whatever, here it is.

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
"How about a bad title?" wonders Spencer Kayden's Little Sally in "Too Much Exposition." "That could kill a show pretty good." It's a tribute to the skill deployed by the Urinetown creative team (Mark Hollman, music and lyrics; Greg Kotis, book and lyrics) that its title doesn't kill the show. Set in a near-future in which water depletion has led to a ban on private toilets, this may be the only musical in history in which one of the leads makes a fortune on pee. But the show (which originated Off-Broadway before graduating to the big league) limits its subversive intent to subject matter and is refreshingly classic in approach and structure--think Weill-meets-Lewis Carroll. Backed by a small ensemble, the cast (with John Cullum in a turn nothing short of brilliant as the evil urinal magnate) has a field day with Kotis and Hollman's frequently hilarious score. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Dilemma

Here's the situation. I found out that Surfside Playhouse is producing this really cool musical called Urinetown and auditions are in two weeks. Now the only problem is that I work at a community theatre and my work is varied and usually involves nights and weekends and let's just say it is not condusive to doing musicals, unless the musicals are at work and even then it is a pain in the booty. But I really really really really want to try out. Is that selfish of me? I think I would have a blast in this musical because the songs that I've heard from the show are really upbeat large cast numbers. So basically I'm trying to figure out a way to tell my work that I really really really want to try out. Really. Maybe I could wittle my hours down to like 20 hours a week and just be really really poor for a few months. I don't know!! Or I could just go the show and try out and worry about it after I get cast but I think that would be the most stress filled way and wouldn't be nice for work to find out that way. Anyway, if you want to find out more about the musical, the website is www.urinetown.com. I really wish they had a synopsis of the show on there but there is some other cool stuff like song bits and what-not. Basically the show is about a town that outlawed toilets. I'm trying to find out more about it somewhere. If you find out the synopsis, then please let me know!!

Here we go

It's time to fill up my blog with one of those nonsensical surveys we all love so dearly. Here is what I created in my spare time.


1. What is your favorite word? at the moment, I'd have to say "whatnot". It makes me giggle. "whatnot" heehee
2. If you could pick any book to be made into a movie, name that book! Webster's Dictionary. Hahaha. All kidding aside, I would like to see anything Helen Fielding ever wrote on screen because I loved Bridget Jone's Diary soo much. Oh wait, I would LOVE to see "The Time Traveler's Wife" become a movie. What an awesome read that was!!! And the DaVinci Code is a given but it's being produced already. I could go on and on but there are only so many hours in a day...
3.What do you wish people would share more often? Their cars. Like on that commercial where everbody keeps passing thier car keys to somebody new. How great is that? I am a huge fan of the honor system when it works in my favor ;) ;)
4. If dogs could talk, what secrets would they tell about you? I sing at the top of my lungs when no one is home! :)
5. If a mime had to describe your personality, what gesture would he/she make first? Jazz hands, most definitely.

9. Why are you wasting your time taking this quiz if you think it's so dumb? I wrote it. I have to take it or else I'll look really dumb...
10. What bad '80's flick would you have liked to have starred in and why? Ok, so there's this really corny movie called "Teen Witch" that's straight out of the 80's with the permed hair and socks with high heels and baaaaaaaaaaaaaad rap music and acid wash denim and I would soooo love to be a part of all that!
11. What's the stupidest thing you've done this week? Almost walked infront of a car with my dog, but I blame the driver aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllll the way.
12. What's your catchphrase? "I Got Nothing"

Thank you for participating in this survey. You will recieve your bag of air in the mail shortly. Just remember, the bag is invisible so just stick your head in your mailbox and breathe in deeply...
