Birthday Shout Out

Happy Birthday Brandt! I love you like a wee bairn, and I hope all your wildest dreams come true. (Accept that REALLY wild one with Richard Ghere and coconut oil, that one could get one of us arrested)

Frozen Hell

Hey guys, most of you already knew from facebook that I died my hair. I did it for Macbeth but I think it looks pretty good. When I posted about it on facebook a friend of mine said, "Wow, you died your hair? I think hell just froze over!" Hence the post title. What do you guys think?

Profiles in Obnoxiousness

Today was the first show I had to work. Here are a few of the interesting dialogues I had with patrons.

Patron: When the doors open, that's when we go in right?
Me: Yep.
Patron: (scandelously) What's up stairs?
Me: Uh...the balcony....


Me: Hi, are you here for the show?
Patron: Yes I'm just headed to the bathroom.
Me: oh okay.
(Patron puts one leg forward as if to take a step, stops and stands as though contemplating which way to go)
Me: The bathrooms are right down this way.
Patron: I know, I'm just holding it in for a second.

Me: I'm sorry, but I'll have to have you folks step out into the lobby, I've got to clear the balcony as quickly as I can.
Patron: Well, I know but we're not staying - what's the reason?
Me: We've got to get the set changed, there's another show on Monday and they've got to get the set ready.
Patron: Well, we won't look at it.
Me:....Sorry.....

What was that thing Mark Twain said about marching in a parade of idiots?

Zombieland!!!

This is the movie I wish I could see! I saw a trailer for it on youtube and it looked hilarious, I mean, how could Woody Harelson killing zombies with a banjo not be hilarious? But alas it is rated R for violence language and nudity, the three things I can't handle. So I'd really appreciate it if you guys would watch the trailer and tell me if it doesn't look like one of the funnier things you've seen. I'd also really be grateful if someone would go and see it and tell me all the parts where I'd have to shut my eyes.

Sorry Guys

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while. I've been busy with school and rehearsal and stuff. So here's the latest highlights.

• Survived first three weeks of school
• Survived last week of festival and strike assignment
• Auditioned for two student shows
• Started rehearsing Macbeth (we get to practice in the Adams now!)
• Blew a tire on I-15 (Thank goodness me old friend Ben Partis was there!)
• Bought four new tires/got hit on by freaky hill-billy dudes.
• Fell in love with The Last Unicorn all over again.
  
• Heard Richard Bugg sing the entire Frito Bandito song in a Mexican accent.
• Formed ukulele band called "De Anima" with my girl chum Marlena
• Went to a conspicuously sheepless parade and drank iron port (aka nectar of the gods!)
  
• Killed my legs "froggy hopping" in stage combat (now it hurts to move, curse you Anthony Marotta!)
• Room mate informed me that if I wanted my dishes washed I should put them in the dishwasher (thank you captain obvious), asked if I was in love because I accidentally left the oven on (thank you captain intrusive), asked if my mom was in town because she saw a woman who looked and talked just like me (thank you captain, Wha.....???)
• Watched Futurama with Ben. (Look for a new season on comedy central in 2010!)
• Got to here Elder Cook speak live at the single's stake center. (Very very good).

That's the extent!

Now We're Really Screwed

This is what the moon looked like the night after all that smoke blew in. I had to go get something out of my car and I saw this and thought, "Now we're really screwed"

Perhaps We Have Sinned!

This is what the sky looked like on Sunday. As some of you know there was a fire in New Harmony and the entire valley was hazed over all day. It was creepy, it was like our lives were being filmed in sepia. I didn't get a good picture of the sun so I stole this one off my friend's facebook. This picture faces west, but to the east you could see the line between smoke cloud and blue sky. It's still hazy here and smells funny. We were hoping for some rain today but no dice. I was stuck helping company management clean out the equity actor's apartments. At one point I turned to my friend and said, "Perhaps we have sinned and this is our penance." I followed that up with, "If the world is ending today this is not where I wanna be...laboring on the sabbath....no bueno!"
