( Three Things )

Yes, I know the nablopomo is over, and it's December, but I'm posting anyway, cause I feel like it!


I'm very much amused by the fact that during last night's improv practice, when I was "assigned" Lady Gaga as a character [in company with Lou Dobbs and Corey Haim], I incorrectly guessed she was British and so played her as [a somewhat crazy] Brit pop star, and it worked! So...maybe if I'm assigned a pop star type that I'm not super familiar with, this is the way to go! Last week, or 2 weeks ago, in the same game, I was assigned Dolly Parton, so it was the thrusting of boobage with a Southern accent, which was also lots of fun! I am somewhat familiar with Miss Dolly, but I don't think she was any easier! *giggle* I'm just glad nobody decided I was some male 1930s gangster that I had even less of a clue with...though I should probably find something to do with that, just in case they do that to me again!

And speaking of thrusting...my mom and I saw Bruno on video on demand. OMG...absolutely disgusting, and hilarious! I laughed through the whole thing, and almost felt ashamed...oh, what am I saying, I really have no shame...it was funny, though it was more than a little Borat redux...of course, I laughed inordinately at Borat too, so...


We also saw the new Christmas Carol film, and it was very good and well done and 3-D and all -- I very much enjoyed it, but they skipped what was one of the most important scenes in the story, which is in just about every version of the story I've ever seen, which I don't remember whether it was in the book or not -- if not, the omission is forgivable, if so, well, WTF?! I mean, what, you're gonna skip a fairly pivotal scene in favour of stupid, albeit impressive, aerial 3-D crap that only shows off ooh,look what this technology can do rather than move the story ahead?!?!?!


Ah well...I'm just putting off the inevitable going to work today...so, till next time!!!

Gacked from kyahryorin and derptacular:

1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands [fannish etc.] that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.
2) Have your f-list guess your favourite character/member from each item.
3) When someone guesses correctly, strike through the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.

1. Bleach
2. Tales of Symphonia/Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
3. Veronica Mars
4. Star Ocean: The Last Hope
5. Fringe
6. Twilight (...shut up)

COMMENTS ARE SCREENED. NO CHEATING.

So Saki is in the latest cover, volume 6, so any ideas who might be next? I thik that characters that might get a cover might be, Kutani-sensei, Sakura, and maybe Yuuto(even though he hasn't really had much screen time), any other suggestions?

Amazon sent me an email that my order of Yorkshire Tea has shipped! And so is fulfilled my brother Steve's birthday present to me...he sent me a gift card and I've only now spent it!

Oh, and...




And...

I think you mentioned once that Ruthless, as a true Gryffindor, would make a last-ditch attempt to "win back" Teddy after realizing what's happening with him and Victoire...I would love to read that. :) for eco_gamba

Well, we had a really good improv practice tonight, and at least for the moment, my mood is uplifted! The Doctor is playing with me -- he's such a pretty boy! I can hardly wait till he opens his Christmas presents! *giggle*

Hopefully this positive vibe lasts longer than the next annoyance! *hee*

I've been just about to check out Lady Gaga, still don't know her stuff or much of anything about her, but ironically we played an improv game in which I had to be her...LOL!!! At least I made strong choices -- they may have been wrong, but they were strong! HAHAHA!!!

...and I've managed to post at least a sentence every day. So, the nablopomo thing was a success, even though nobody seems to care or notice, except some of my wonderful readers, of course! :)

It's Monday and I don't want to go to work...but I will, I suppose. Thanksgiving was good, and shopping on Friday was awesome! Yet, I'm still fighting depression, which seems lately, to be triggered by every little thing. I'm feeling left out and unwanted, which isn't entirely true, I know, but seems to be my default angsty feeling. Not really sure how to convince myself that it's not completely true...but I'm optimistic that the feeling will pass.


I wonder how much of this is my working through grief? I've lost people and pets before, but nobody as close to me as my baby brother...so, I dunno. I'm continuing to move ahead -- I've got shows this week, and they're gonna be AWESOME!

I should really go to sleep, but I spent so much time sleeping earlier today, because I'm sick, so I'm not actually tired yet. My throat had pretty much closed up and I sound like a bass, and the concert in which I'm singing a solo is ONE WEEK from today. Ack. I have rehearsals tomorrow night (which is really tonight now that it's after midnight), Thursday and Saturday for the concert and I can barely speak. Blergh blergh blergh.

I managed to get through Angels in America last night, which was wonderful, especially the actor playing Roy Cohn. There was a member of the cast I used to sing with in the same chorus I'm doing this concert for, too, but I didn't get to speak with her afterward since it was getting close to midnight and Rachel and I needed to get home. I kept my cough (mostly) under control during the play with water and cough drops. It was really fantastic to see it performed live and to get the subtle nuances of the overlapping scenes, which wasn't possible in the filming of the mini-series, as much as I love the TV version of this. Rachel wanted to watch the DVDs again today after last night's show, to note the little changes, but I dozed off after taking some cold medicine and then she didn't want to continue. (I'm not sure, because she didn't say, but I may have been snoring and preventing her from hearing it well. Hey, I'm sick!)

Okay, I really am going to bed now, although probably not to sleep. Crap. I hate being sick--besides the obvious reasons it also seriously screws around with my sleep patterns. At least I reached my writing goals today of editing two chapters and writing some more character stuff for the new book. I plan to go to work tomorrow, since it's the last day of the month so I kind of have to get the newsletter onto the website and send reminders about a jillion other things, but I may just stay long enough to get that done and no more and come home again to bed. I'm definitely not up for a 3-hour rehearsal for the concert and won't be up for the concert, either, if I don't do something to rest my voice.

With any luck the phone won't ring when I'm at the office tomorrow. I'm at the point where I'm afraid that I might open my mouth to speak and nothing will come out. ;)
