I Better Not Get Needles Stuck in My Eyes...

Auditions are tomorrow. Or, at least they start tomorrow. And you know what?

I'm not at all ready.

I've only heard the song once in my life, and it was on Tuesday. I believe. I think i'll get a ton of practice in tomorrow with other people. Let's hope i'm ready. I'm second to audition on the first day. I'm so screwed, it's not even funny. I've been trying to find any sort of torrent of the soundtrack, but i've got nada. I can't even find a measly midi file of the song. Sometimes, the internet can be so worthless.

I don't really know why, but yesterday did not feel like a Saturday. Probably because i didn't go to school on Friday. But anyway...school tomorrow. I don't know why i feel this either, but i kind of want to go to school tomorrow. I really haven't felt that way in a long time.

Bah...what's wrong with me?

The Shins Continue to Amaze

this song from Tim and Eric...is great.

Which Comedy of the Night Did it Right? 10/25/07 Edition

New feature alert.

I'll go throught the high and low points of the NBC comedies of that week, and name the winner.

Last night's was Scrubs by the way. IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW ALREADY.

Anyway, new one next week.

You Got Alot of (Optic) Nerve

If my typing contains multiple errors, please excuse them. I had an eye doctor appointment, and my eyes are still a bit dilated. So...here we go. This might be fun.

So, the season premiere of the last seasn of Scrubs was on last night. I don't know what changed, but that was great. It literally had laughs a minute. Already better than last year. Totally.

And the first half hour episode of The Ofice this year. Finally, a solid episode containing nothing that seems like the writers almost had no clue where they were going with the story. It was pretty nice, in fact.

So, today's Friday. That makes it three Fridays in a row where school was not involved. I'm a very lucky individual. Indeed i am.

The play opes tonight. I don't know if we're going, but i hope we will. Maybe next week. Maybe the night of my birthday. I hope so. Yay.

I had an idea of seeing Dan in Real Life for my birthday too. Because i believe Steve Carrell is amazing. If you don't believe so...die in a box.

Now i think i need a job more than i needed one yesterday. 94/7 has announced their December to Remember shows, and The Shins are playing one of those nights. I must go, or i'm afraid i might die. SOMEONE GET ME A JOB NOW! PLEASE!

Playtime For the Young and Rich

Is what i hope to have. Someday...when i get that sweet ass job.

No joke. I need a job more than i need almost anything right now. I want to work in retail. Someplace where i can kind of be myself. I don't want to work at crazy Burgerville like Liz does. I think se's woring (or at least wants to) at the new Famous Footwear that's about to open in the Esplenade. I think if i work anywhere there, it would either be Gamestop or Blockbuster. Hell, maybe Dollar Tree even.

I just want some darn money.

So, i have an eye appointment tomorrow morning, which means i'll probably miss the first half of school, or t least a good portion of it. That's somewhat unfortunate, but it also means get new glasses, which makes me bounce.

Seriously, if you don't wear glasses, you don't know the joy that comes with getting new frames 'n' lenses. It's outstanding. My lenses are really old. The protective coating on the front is coming off like...something that does that quickly. And the frames are really meh to me. I liked them when i got them, but they kind of grated on me for some reason. And they're really loose, so they fall off pretty much at the drop of a hat. So, to make a long story short: new glasses = good times. Even better: new glasses = new beginnings...for good times.

2) listening to (not right this second, but till):

In Defense of the Genre by Say Anything

Purr-Ee-Ulls

So, we're almost finished watching Guys and Dolls in choir. We'll be done tomorrow. And then we start on new music. So...yay...?

I'm sorry i haven't really had anything to talk about the last few days. My life's been boring. And it probably will be for a few more days. Forgive the crappy and short posts, plz.

Kthxbai.

We Came, We Saw, We Sold Kettle Corn

The homecoming game was last night. It was cold, sure, and rainy, but it was pretty fun. For me anyway.

We got there, waited for someone for a while, and then we watched the game for a bit. At almost halftime, i saw Ben selling kettle corn. I wanted to help. I asked him if i could, he said i could. And...i did. And it was amazing.

Of course, there was the ususal, "Buy some kettle corn, it's only three dollars. And it goes to a great cause." And then there's the "1 in every 5 bags of this kettle corn will give you magical powers." And "Abe Lincoln rose from the dead to try our kettle corn." As i said, it was amazing. We also did a speical Kettle Corn Remix of F This S. Also, Hilhi won 56-0 against Park Rose. If doesn't spell C-O-O-L, i have no idea what does, my friends.
