poor choices

sometimes i make poor choices.

i just spent the entire night catching up on backepisodes of The Guild.

i was definitely supposed to be sewing the crew of Firefly.

and then, because my mind has been sucked by the computer screen, i looked at the teefury shirt of the day and didn't get what it was from. and then i felt like a complete freaking moron because it was from chuck. it says intersect right on it for crying out loud. geesh. and there's a clever pun on flashing. sigh

probably that's a sign i should go to bed. or at least leave the computer.

also. mark hamill is totally going to be a bad guy on chuck this season. YAY EPIC! chuck gets the best peoples. james bond/evil timelord. scott bakula=amazingness. clark griswold. sarah connor. i mean honestly, how can they even think about cancelling chuck...
nope. totally going to stop before i go off on a complete tirade.....

bed. now.

all kinds of stuffs

So I managed to survive a complete viewing of Deathly Hallows 1.2....i cried. A LOT. but not loud enough for my dear brother to hit me. However, we both decided that putting Karisa in between us would probably be for the best. I'm nothing if not predictable at the movie theatre. I WILL cry. At almost every movie, ever.
Let's see....hmmmmm.....well, i MIGHT not have cried at Fast 5. I DEFINITELY didn't cry during Tomb Raider....i don't think. That was a while ago. Probably not at the Mark Wahlberg Planet of the Apes.......nope. that's about it. Muppets from Space. Super 8....just a couple of examples of movies people usually don't cry at. I'm just a basket-case. That's all. SIgh

Currently listening to lots of America as Dan Peek, one of the founding members just died. I am very sad. Oh how I love folk rock. It makes my soul ever so happy!

So yeah, just some random thoughts today.
I found a cravat at under the stage today while I was cleaning! That was exciting!

I think I have convinced myself to give Doctor Who with Matt Smith another chance. I will try really really hard to disconnect. Then I won't get frustrated and pissed off and start shouting about Stephen Moffat. I found a Stephen Moffat voodoo doll on Etsy. It was brilliant. It suggested you could stab it while watching the Doctor when things get so outofhandridiculousstupidsooooonotactuallyreallydoctorwhoinanysenseoftheword that you want to die! or scream really really loudly and shout profanities. Which kindof happens a lot to me these days. Which is why I stopped watching. Next time it loops around again on the pbs, though, i'll try again. for real. sigh. Poor Matt Smith. I really do like him as the Doctor. It's just everything else....argh! must stop thinking about it before my brain explodes!!!!!

Firefly is the best. I need to go get Serenity borrowed so I can watch it, but I think unconciously I haven't done it because I don't want it to all be over. siiiiiiiiiiiigh.

Somday I hope I make it to Comicon. I think if one were to marry the right person at the right time, it would be an excellent honeymoon destination.

I found a red leather jacket at Dress Barn that made me want to cosplay Martha Jones.

I also found my bridesmaids dress for Megs' wedding in September. 1st dress I tried on! A-MAZING!!!! also, jeans that fit and were long "enough" for only $9! agh! brilliant!!!!

Borders is closing and I haven't been there yet. My birthday money is burning a hole in my Phineas and Ferb box waiting to find out if it will be spent there or on Amazon. Books. I am such a bookslut. Geesh.

Felicia Day is my new role model. I want to be like here when I grow up.

You know, really, Nathan Fillion wears enough scarves on Castle that there should surely be a picture out there somewhere of him wearing a cravat.
nope. nothing. scarves, yes. naked, yes. all kinds of geekdom, yes. cravat, no. sigh

my day

Today i made Choux pastry.

and finished watching firefly.

then i had an anxiety attack and went to bed for several hours.

now it is almost 11 and probably i am awake.

sigh.

i am currently obsessed with....

that's pretty much all there is to it.

In which I ramble.

Today we celebrated my birthday, only a week late, not bad for us! That's what happens when your birthday always falls the week of a show. It makes me happy, though, because I always get to spend my birthday doing what I love, with people I love. So that's good.

Karisa made a Harry Potter themed dinner because she knew how much I wanted to have a big huge Potter themed birthday party, but since I'm a little busy, it never happens. That's okay. I'd be content with hanging lanterns from the tree when we eat outside this fall. Jonathan grilled dragon and it was brilliant! (probably actually chicken...) Pretty much they're the bestest!!!! (jonathan and karisa, not dragon/chicken foods)

They got me Gnomeo and Juliet! We spent the evening all together watching it! Yay fun! I loved it! (of course!!) Unfortunately, now I really really want to go see the real thing at the Shakespeare Festival. However, I'm not going to. Expensive. Hot. Would have to find someone to go with me. (although that last one might not be a huge problem...I can think of lots of people I'd like to go with...not sure how many of them would choose Romeo and Juliet to spend $30 odd dollars on, though, of all Shakespeare's glorious plays). The next time they do Hamlet I may just die if I don't go to see it. Someday. Someday maybe. Maybe if I'm really lucky...and feeling REALLY confident in my directorial skills. Maybe I'll be brave and lucky enough to actually direct it myself. Since it is my alltimefavouritestthing.
Anyway. Once again I transgress....surprise surprise.

Not feeling near as positive today as I was yesterday...not really surprising either. I had to crash sometime...it was weird how much extra energy I had, pent up inside me, at the end of the show...Sure I crashed physically really early Monday morning...but I don't think my brain caught up until today. Curiouser and Curiouser.

Oh well. Borders is closing FOREVER. This makes me most upset. Also that no one cared enough to make sure I got my free birthday drink before it expired. (besides me...but I don't count, so...)

The board accepted Mom's resignation tonight (I assume). So now I will be spending the next month a complete and total wreck. They don't meet again until the 17th. The day before school starts. So. I have lots and tons of getting ready to do. And then, after doing all the work, I will find out if they decide to hire me....thinking about it makes me nauseous.

Anyway. It's off to bed. To sleep, perchance not to dream. because my dreams have a terrible way of seeping into my regular thoughts and being a huge distraction.

brought to you by sense and sensibility

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiit!!! there were no cravats in the last post.
i must fix that!!!!!

oooh look. it's willoughby. that scoundrel!

let us counter attack with:

ah. that's better. Colonel Brandon. Swoon.

and of course, we cannot have a complete Sense and Sensibility post without

Edward Ferrars ~ The NICEST MAN EVER.....always doing the right thing, even when it makes him miserable.
sigh.

And finally...it would be tragic not to mention Hugh Laurie in his extraordinary performance as poor Mr. Palmer.....what suffering that man goes through...

plus he's hilarious. and adorable. and i looooove him!

About time...

Okay. Well. I have successfully done an entire play without blogging once. And thensome. The last performance of Father Knows Best was on Sunday afternoon. All in all an epic summer production full of lovely people and wonderful acting. Yay!
And in other news, we know my new medicine is working now: after strike I went to the cast party AND THEN went and watched a movie with some Vaughns. These are not things I do after strike. I collapse. And am completely antisocial for as long as I can get away with it. Instead I honestly, really, truly feel like having a life these days. You know, like, making plans with people and doing things...leaving the house, not sleeping all the time and just getting by. It's the most wonderful feeling in the world I think.

so this is what I watched Sunday night:

I'm pretty sure I cannot decide who is more adorable ~ Gru or the minions.....or maybe Kyle. I'm a big fan of Kyle.
Anyway, needless to say, I LOOOOOOVED Despicable Me. I have been meaning to see it since it came out, but it just never happened. Until Sunday. And then again on Monday when I forced Mum and Dad to watch it.

I feel that I must share another love of mine now:

I love this man's voice ever so very much. Sigh. And swoon. Oh Iron & Wine how I love thee!!!!

This is the song that drew me to the beauty that is Sam Beam's music



Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.
I could listen for years..........

So anyway. I'm back. I'm excited to be back. I am also excited to have a diversion to distract me from the annoying fact that I never, ever know what it is I want until it has just left my grasp...Double sigh. No need to worry. I don't think I'm going to give up yet....
