Mid-Year break Update

Well, with the exception that I seem to be dying today, mid-year break has been going great! It started with a little Christmas Caroling around town and at the assisted living place down the road. Then, a few Holiday Parties and Crazy adventures later, it was Christmas!

Santa was really nice this year! I got some clothes and shoes, this season's Broadway Cares blanket, Broadway.com gift certificates, and some little stocking-stuffer games.

We also got this big box addressed to me and me siblings. It was ROCK BAND. Now, I didn't know what it was when we opened it...but 20-something hours of play later, i think it's safe to say I am officially Addicted. If you've never heard of it, it's like Guitar Hero, meets Karaoke, meets the Drum and Bass versions of Guitar hero. So you sit in front of the TV and everyone has an instrument and you play songs based on what it tells you to do on the screen...amazingness. AND, after 16 years of having a little brother, I am finally better at a video game then he is- haha. Me, Kellie and Steve make a rockin' band that can kick the crap out of and 16 year old punk.

So...what puts 6 hormonal preteens against each other and makes fun of their awkwardness for all to enjoy?? THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE!



(the Broadway Musical...not a real spelling bee...although I'm sure the people in that are quite awkward as well) So Kellie and I went in to the City at 9:30am to be at the front of the line for Student Rush Tickets to the show before it closes next month. So we got 4 tickets in the second row for $25 a piece, and our friends Steve and Meghan met us for the show later. So being that we had the tickets by 10am, and the show wasn't until 8pm, Kellie and I had a wonderfully chill day in the city of making fun of tourists, drinking Starbucks' caramel Apple Cider AND riding 8 escalators up to a movie theater on the top floor of an insane Theater Complex to see "Juno".



So My friend Steve from school came up to hang out/play rock band/ rehearse for ACTF yesterday. Good times. And, I'm really looking froward to "Mike and Kellie's Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious New Year's Eve Bash" details to come...Happy 2008 everyone!



Until next post...

free at last, free at last!

First semester Sophomore year is done. It's a really wired feeling- I'm glad it's done, but the semester flew by.

Anyway, in celebration of being done, Me, Steve, Taylor and David went and saw "I am Legend," the new Will Smith Film. It wasn't bad, but nothing special. Will Smith stars as the only Man left in New York after a horrible viral plague wiped out the whole city- turning them into Zombies that are Nocturnal, Rabid, and Computer Animated!

So Smith (who is immune to the virus in both airborne form and in contact form...naturally) and his dog Sam (who is immune to the airborne virus) run around the empty city trying to solve the virus by catching rabid people and experimenting on them.

Then, the zombies finally get smart and manage to set a very intricate trap for smith, who ends up suspended from his foot in mid-air by a steel cable. But Luckily Smith has a pocket knife on him that he uses to slice through the steel cable.

Well, in a dramatic ending, Smith and 2 un-infected guests that he has come across are on one side of a plexiglas wall, with all of the zombies on the other side. Finally , Smith realizes what the cure is and puts it in a bottle and gives it to his guests, who he then hides in a closet...(because the Zombies that were smart enough to set the steel cable trap would NEVER think to look in the closet that they just watched people get into...right)

I won't ruin the very very end...but it has to do with a colony of un-infected people in a bubble in Vermont and a really cheesy quote.

and there you have it. Will Smith is (Kinda, maybe a little bit) Legend (whose acting is Painful)

wahhh

One more day of classes, then finals week, and I'm done for the semester.
