I'm pulling an Oprah...

and listing some of my favorite things!!

This could be difficult for me because my favorite thing ever to get for any holiday is money/gift cards. I'm boring. I know. LETS GET STARTED!

1) the PED EGG. This is only #1 because I just used it and it inspired me to write this blog. If you don't know what this is, you obviously don't watch enough TV. Anyway, it's basically a cheese grater for your dry feet. It's awesome and you can get it at Walgreens on the "As Seen On TV" aisle- by far my favorite aisle at Walgreens.

2) TOMS. Now I have sporting TOMS for a very long time. They are the most comfortable shoes on earth, as long as you don't need a ton of arch support and you are not walking on a cobblestone street. AND, when you buy a pair, they send a pair to a child in need. www.tomsshoes.com. get some get some get some.

3) 30 ROCK. Duh. You can get Seasons 1 & 2 pretty much anywhere. If you don't like this show than you are apparently too stupid to understand it.

4) I don't want to do this anymore. It seemed like a good idea at the time but now I'm bored and I can't think of anything else.

My bitchin' weekend.

This may be boring because blogs seem to be better when things are not going well for me but like I said, this weekend was bitchin', and I'm going to tell you about it. Right now.

Friday night, a bunch of us made the dull-ass drive to Shreveport to see a play called Rabbit Hole at SLT.  The show was sooooo effin good. I saw it on Broadway a few years ago an I honestly liked it just as much in Shreveport.  It worked a lot better in a smaller space.  During the show, Laura got a call from our boss, who I refer to as Cher Bear.  She wanted us to stop at Wal-Mart and see if they had a bike.  Cher Bear does this thing every year where she and bunch of her friends go adopt a bunch of less-fortunate families for Christmas.  She wanted to get some bike for one for one of the kids and they didn't have it at the one in Ruston.  So we got it and when the kids grandma came to pick up the gifts the next morning she was so grateful.  It doesn't get much better than good theatre and helping those less fortunate! 

Saturday, Laura convinced me to dye my hair.  So I am now sporting some bitchin' DARK brown hair.  So later that night we went to Christmas party and drank some spiced wine and some feckin whiskey- that's what it was called.  And then we were going to go to Sundown but of course there was a cover charge so we went to The Porch.  Which is not a bar, it's an actual porch. Leigh Anne and Laura's porch to be exact.  It was goooood times.  Good Dark Side times. Maybe someday I will explain the dark side.  

And now I'm taking a break from the 10 pounds of homework I need to do.  Thats it.

Here's a funny story...

In my previous post, I briefly mentioned that I was ushering and LTCA event. For this event, I chose to wear a cute little dress with some black tights and heels. So the parking situation at Tech is ricockulous and my car was parked in a gravel/dirt parking lot. There happened to be a really muddy spot right outside my drivers door. So my plan was to lean over the mud, open my door, step on the foot ramp (yes my car has a foot ramp, I suspect it was previously owned by an old arthritic woman), and jump into the car using the steering wheel to steady myself safely into the drivers seat. I guess Baby Jesus had other plans for me. I put my foot on the ramp and jumped in and missed the steering wheel completely and FELL backwards out of my car and onto the ground. Thankfully my coat got the mud. Actually that kind of sucks because I was wearing my sisters coat. Anyway.

I need someone to remind me to NOT do homework after I blog. The language I used to write my directing paper last night is very similar to the language I use on this thing. I believe my favorite sentence was something like "Hodge discusses how we cannot change the history of play even if it is not historically accurate. I guess this would be an issue all the history buffs out there, but since I am not one of those, this situation really doesn't concern me." Maybe in a later post I will let you know the grade that I am given. Shit the bed.

And YES. After several rounds of me kicking ass in some beer pong last night, I was hungover this morning in combat. It was worth it. It was excellent dark side bonding time and I have no regrets. Hangover remedy's anyone?

2 blogs in 2 days?!

This is not a real blog. This is a tool of avoidance for my directing homework.  I don't know why I can only do homework after 10:00PM.  But seeing as how I have plans tonight that could eventually lead to me being hungover in combat tomorrow morning, now is my only chance to get this assignment done.  I mean the book is open, and sitting in my lap with a highlighter in the spine, the word document is open... 

Question. When I was in high school, there was this kid who had this term to describe when you poop and the poop makes the water in the toilet splash your butt.  I've been trying to remember what that word is but I can't think of it.  Not that this situation has happened to me recently... it was just funny and I can't remember it.  So if you know it, let me know.

Spinning this morning was good.  Because I'm sure my 2 devoted readers are dying to know how my spinning class went this morning.  Our teacher tried to start a conversation with us again. She asked us what type of music we listen to and no one said ANYTHING. So finally I said, "I like Weezer a lot." She kind of giggled and then dropped it.  I was like WTF, do I get bonus points for being the only person in this class who actually responds to your bullshit? Seriously.

Anyway, I'm ushering an LTCA thing tonight and I seriously have to do this homework and take shower.  Yes. I had spinning this morning and I have not showered yet.  Heh.

I'm bad at this.

I'm a terrible blogger. My friends have to remind to blog. Thanks Laura.

Well. Not much to tell. I've been back to school for about a week after a painfully long thanksgiving break.  It was wretched. It really was.  I literally had 2 weeks in Oklahoma, with no friends and I managed to basically do nothing but watch the entire series of 30 Rock. But I don't regret it.  So this quarter I am taking:

Combat, Single-Sword to be exact.  Great fun. 

Directing, should be interesting.

Spinning, which I realized after the first class that I am in way over my head.  I mean the teacher wants us to have a conversation with her while we are cycling.  Are you shitting me? 

Spanish 2, and can I just say... I can hardly understand our teacher when he is speaking english. I. Am. Probably. Fucked.

Costume Design, which is actually a one-on-one seminar with Guinn.  He's kicking my butt. He asked me at our first meeting if I had a complete design for Private Lives, and I said "no, but I can tell you anything you want to know about 30 Rock."

So thats my schedule.  It is wicked cold outside. Nothing makes me bitch and complain more than cold weather.  It just hurts.  On a happier note, I am stoked about the Private Lives cast.  Congratulations everyone, especially Laura and Jessie.  Way to represent the Dark Side.  Also, I went to see the annual food fight, which is a fight show we do every year and instead of selling tickets, the audience brings in canned food.  Anyway, we did a show called Living Dead in Denmark which is basically a bunch of zombie Shakespeare characters. Fucking HYSTERICAL.  My favorite line would probably be... "You did have relations with a mortal, wasn't his name bottom or did he stick it in your bottom?" or maybe "if you were any more of a pussy, I would have to fucking shave you."  Anywho. I should stop. I have spinning in the morning, but more importantly, Jon & Kate Plus 8 is on.
