About Me

Music, you know, true music, not just rock 'n' roll, it chooses you. It lives in your car, or alone, listening to your headphones -- you know, with the vast, scenic bridges and angelic choirs in your brain.

the title of this piece makes no sense, for those of you attempting to work it out, thinking I was trying to reach you via some weird kind of code.

thanksgiving - here, and eating turkey tonight with the fam. back to the 'loo tomorrow. im fucking freezing right now. so cold.

Is it sad... that the BEST part of going to see The Black Dahlia was the previews? For me AND the three people I was with?

... I was disappointed, and I'm not sure how I feel. I'm neither here nor there. I didn't 'hate' it, but I didn't really 'like' it either. The acting was so-so, and the plot was confusing as hell in some cases. Too many names. Too many random facts. And a number of rather violent scenes in it.

Meh. Maybe it's just me. I wasn't that impressed. Sadly.

You are most like Aragorn. You have strong convictions and you stick to them.
Although you are more of a recluse, you are extremely loyal to the few friends that you have.
You are very serious about things, but you like having fun.
Fame and fortune mean little to you, and you aren't concerned with being popular. Good for you!

What LoTR Character Are You?






You are - Rinoa Heartilly
The 17-year-old daughter of General Caraway, a high-ranking officer in the Galbadian army, and Julia Heartilly, a successful pianist and singer. Rinoa is a member of the Forest Owls, a small resistance faction seeking to liberate the small nation of Timber from Galbadian occupation. Rinoa first meets Squall Leonhart, the male protagonist of the game, at a ball at Balamb Garden, where she manages to charm—albeit somewhat aggressively—the usually taciturn and unfriendly Squall into dancing with her. Her purpose for visiting the Garden is revealed when the Forest Owls hire Squall, Zell Dincht, and Selphie Tilmitt as mercenaries. She stays with them as they are forced to flee Timber, and ends up travelling along with them.

[ mood | anxious ]

So yeah - getting internet today and that'll be awesome! The audition went really really well! Woot! Hopefully I will at least get a callback. The contemp. monologue I did was ok, but I wasn't prepared enough for it. Or rather, I didn't care about it as much as I should have. But Lady B. went reeeeeeeeeeeeeeallly well and that's what I wanted. I figured I might as well go all out for the part I want instead of focusing on the contemp. monologue.

Callbacks will be posted Thursday morning, and the callbacks will take PLACE Thursday night. Hopefully all will go well. I want a shot! Oh, like so many others. Oh what a world. Oh, oh oh. 

Nothing. So yeah. Hopefully I will get internet and phone today. It's been driving me crazy (currently using a friend's internet). I need to sorely catch up on emails, TWK, posts, LJ, facebook, etc. A-woohoo. I'll alert you all the MOMENT I have internet and msn back. Yes. It's THAT important. In terms of the new house... LOVING IT! 

SJ2 is THE place to be, and everyone knows it. WOOT.

Cheers.

[ music | Chicago - by - Sufjan Stevens ]

Sooooo.... I moved in :) All my stuff is at SJ2 and waiting for me to unpack it. Friday was mostly a dropoff for me... but honestly, I can't WAIT to go back. I love unpacking, I love setting up my room, and I LOVE my housemates. I saw Mikey and Greg just as I was heading out to leave -- and it just made me ACHE because seeing them just made me want to STAY!!!! -flops-

But that's alright... that's alright... I leave Tuesday morning, which should put me in Waterloo around... hmm.. 11:30-12ish should my calculations be correct. Then I guess I'll bus it from the Kitchener terminal to Columbia. Sweetness. Can't wait, seriously, I miss everyone to death. Everyone shall get big hugs upon my arrival. Plans?

- watch BBC Office with Max
- unpack and make my room home again :)
- drink and hug and dance and drink some more
- go to campus; book shopping, sign up for drama-thingies, and buy a bus pass
- go see Single & Sexy (anyone wanna come?)

.... and then laze around before classes start. Woot!


PS - Chicago - by Sufjan Stevens is probably my new favorite song. I listened to it whilst travelling. It is also from the Little Miss Sunshine Soundtrack. But honestly. I love it. Download it. Makes me smile.

the DL [August 31, 2006 @ 5:15pm]
[ mood | busy ]

So, here's my plan....

- leaving Friday afternoon to arrive at the 'loo where Ray (the landlord) and other potential SJ2 move-ins will be
- drop my stuff off, and then leave the 'loo again and return to Pdot
- stay in Pdot for a day or two (until Tuesday that is) and then bus back to the 'loo

- then... STAY THERE for another year of educational-shindigs and hoopilas.

So technically.... while I may see some of you on Friday when dropping off stuff and picking up my keycode and room key -- I will be there definately on Tuesday to stay. So don't fret my pet.



On a side note... I recently saw Little Miss Sunshine... and it was such a great AWESOME movie. I really encouraged everyone to go see it. Very heartwarming, but at the same time side-splittingly funny. Great casting and acting, GREAT music, and an all around fun time. Anyone who appreciates family, or weird families, road trips, etc. will surely love it.

I mean it. Go see it. It's a film I will definately buy when it comes out on DVD... no question about it. Steve Carell is particularly impressive in his more serious role, but of course, he still adds a great wit to the movie with pauses and timing. Also, the girl who plays "Olive" (Abigail Breslin) is incredibly talented. I was very surprised, but she's incredibly good... especially for a child actor.

The Hatch [August 27, 2006 @ 8:55am]
Mural on wall
Detail of mural's right side

Inside the bunker but outside of the living area is a mural on one wall (see 2 photos at left).

FACTS: The mural contains the number 108 (the total of the numbers Desmond enters into the computer) twice.

It shows 3 white houses.

There is a large sun in the center of the mural.

There is a white woman and a black man in the upper right hand corner.

There is a boat or raft with a sail on the right middle of the mural.

A group of stick figures stand at the top left of the mural in front of what appears to be ocean waves.

The statement "I am sick" is written within what appears to be a tube or cable. The word "I" is replaced with a drawing of an eye.

There is a circle with a dot in the center. This is also a symbol for Apollo the Greek God.

There are many fish throughout the mural.

There are 2 stick figures in the right, center area (under the boat/raft) that appear to be one holding the other upside down by the leg.

A large white arrow points upwards.

Instructor
___________________________________________________________

There will be two audition dates:

Monday, September 11, 2006 (by appt. - see below)

The focus will be on group and pair exercises. Also, individual interviews will be conducted.


Instructions for Monday

Prepare one monologue from a playwright who is British, and whose writing coincided (roughly) with the lifetime of Oscar Wilde. G.B. Shaw is an obvious choice…also, John Osborne, T.S. Eliot, Noel Coward, and of course, Mr. Wilde himself. I’m sure there are others. You can present your monologue with or without an accent.

The monologue should be no longer than 2 minutes in length, and should be a character that you could see yourself playing. The monologue must be memorized!

The names of the students who have been accepted into the course will be posted Thursday, September 14.

If there are more students auditioning on Monday, than there are slots, I will post an additional sign up sheet for the beginning of Wednesday, the 13th.

See you soon!

Alan

What gives you hints [August 21, 2006 @ 10:26am]
[ mood | distressed ]

So I knew Sunday was not going to be a good day.

First off - I woke up late, around 9:30 or quarter to 10.... which only gave me a little time to get ready, and be at work for 10:15am to open Galaxy, which I was scheduled to do. Of course, my alarm did not go off. My mum woke me up at around 9:30 or quarter to 10... wondering why I wasn't already up.

So the first pissy mood hit, since I enjoy having time to wake up and get ready before heading to work -- not rush up, get ready and simply leave still feeling tired.

Then - it was raining. Pouring actually.

And to those of you who have worked in a movie theatre... that's not good. In fact, it means you have a long, busy day ahead of you.

So the second pissy mood hit. I was not a happy camper.

My mum and I left a little early from the house, since I needed to stop off at the bank and get out some money. So, she stopped around the corner from the bank - I got out and took off running (to avoid getting really wet) and went into the bank. A quick pop to the bankmachine, got out my money and headed back out into the rainy and rather quiet downtown streets (at least, for a Sunday rainy morning). And on my way back to the car.... I fell. Into a puddle, nonetheless, hurting my knee.

My shoes. At least, my WORK shoes - are incredibly greasy and buttery and lack all grip from working at Galaxy. They are fine there - I've learned how to balance myself and not slip on floors, etc. However, the wet streets are a different matter, and it was basically like attempting to walk on solid ice. Needless to say, I fell --- got even more wet, hurt my knee, and got back in the car.

I was basically in tears by the time I got to work. Honestly, what else could go wrong?

The work day was boring and long and I hated it. I put a bandaid on my hurt knee and after regailing to several coworkers why I was wet and bleeding and seemingly pissy... I just wanted to go home. Luckily I got to leave at 4:30pm and come back home to realx.

My bro and his girlfriend rented Broken Flowers -- so I'll probably watch it today on this lovely Monday morning. My day off. Thank god. It's not raining, no puddles, and I woke up when I wanted to.
