I swear, I'm not ignoring you

sometimes I am so freaking A.D.D. that I am just doing one thing and then all of a sudden

It's turkey Lurky Time

Props to Barbara Smith for the title of this.

Happy Thanksgiving! (well, I guess Happy Black Friday now)

it has been an insane day of eating, listening to my 6yo cousin talk about butts, eating some more, playing BS and Spoons, eating, going to see "enchanted", eating, and eating some more.

Anyway, Enchanted was pretty good! Not as good as I was expecting...but I had very high standards. Totally worth seeing though.

That is all for the night

Barbara wishes it wasn't so cold in her house...poor babs

earthquake

why is my entire house shaking?


...oh, that right, no one bothered to tell me when I got home last night that demolition on my driveway would be happening right outside of my window at 8am

I love jackhammers

NoteWorthy Does TRL

3 days ago we got a call from Courtney, a segment producer at MTV, asking my a cappela group, NoteWorthy, if we would come on TRL and sing for a special "musical episode" of TRL featuring Patrick Dempsey, Amy Adams, Jordan Sparks and Hayden Christenson.

umm....YES

So they e-mailed us a bunch of questions and snippets that they asked us to arrange original music to and learn for Monday's live broadcast. They told us to learn them all, and when we got there, the executive producer would listen to us and decide what we would use and what we would not. They also told us to chose 8 people out of the 19, and they would be the only ones who could sing on the show (the rest would sit in the audience)

well, we arranged and learned all of the music, got dressed in our fancy black outfits, and drove 2 hours into NYC!

Everyone was so chill! the Exec producer came and listened to us, and she loved us so much that not only did we keep everything that we arranged, but she even had us earn some quick additional things AND had all of us sing! (Which was the best part of the day)

AND our very own Sara got to go undercover, pretending she wasn't part of the group and DANCE WITH PATRICK DEMPSEY!and he was so nice!

anyway, more on that to come...but for now it's time to sleep.

baby it's cold outside

Why
is
it
so
freaking
COLD?

I swear, we went from September to December overnight.

What's with all the free time?

Well, Ruddigore has finally ended. It's a great feeling to finally have my life back. Now with all of my free time, I can read books, write papers, prepare scenes, and get ready for intense auditions next weekend...yay

Overall though, Ruddigore was an amazing experience. It's just that 9 shows was a little long for a run, bye the end of the second week I wanted to throw myself off the stage into the orchestra pit or something. The one thing that I definitely WILL miss however is the people. I got to work with so many amazing people and that was awesome.

So this week is the first week of Special Productions! we have 2 shows going up this week, 2 next week and then 1 more later in the semester. I think everything will be a little easier once these shows are finally up- I man, I love my job, but being responsible for so many productions is crazy (which reminds me, i need to find a TV for one of the shows...crap) However, I DID sit in on the first tech. rehearsal tonight and the shows are looking great! so that's exciting.

Nex weekend are the Callbacks for "Loves Labours Lost," the Shakespeare piece that we are doing as a mainstage next semester. I have been called back for the role of Costard (which I'm SO glad/thankful for) So I guess that means I should read the whole play now...yikes. Usually I love reading scripts...but Shakespeare can be pretty tough for me.

Yea, so life is pretty hectic, but great. I love what I'm doing- even if it does take over every waking moment of my life.
