Lost!!!

Well, kids, I did it! I just watched the season 5 season finale of Lost. This concludes my rewatch of every episode of Lost ever aired. Some of you may think this is sad. I find an accomplishment. I am very proud of myself. If you find this creepy, I do not care. The only problem I have now is that I must wait 82 days until the season 6 (the final season) season premiere. But until then, Joe and I have decided to watch every episode of the original season of Digimon. And, of course, there's always Glee.

Peace out!

Spooky Time (Part 1)

BOO! It's Halloween time and I AM PUMPED! Halloween is just so much fun, and seeing how this is my first Halloween here in Burlington, we are going to have fun. The other night, the Me and the Feeley Three went to a haunted house in a dorm on Champlain campus. That was pretty awesome. I screamed a couple of times, but not as much as Megan. She wailed at this girl who was sitting on the stairs. I mean, we saw her, but then she made some kind of demon sound like Samara (you know, from The Ring?) on helium. That was scary. The whole place was made to look like a mental institution, but I don't think anything can feel as much like a mental institution like my old high school...good ole LI.

Then last night I went to the Halloween dance at Champlain. That was wicked awesome. I didn't get to go completely full out on my costume as I wanted to because I had rehearsal that ran late, and I had to change in the theater bathroom. Story of life. Anyway, the dance was pretty cool especially when Megan and I did our awesome dance rendition of Single Ladies. That's epic stuff right there, and yes I know the whole dance. I also did a Michael Jackson impersonation when Thriller came over the speakers, and that surprised everyone.

Tomorrow night is going to be epic as well. Once I'm done with rehearsal, and once Megan and Ashley get back from Lyndonville (I wish I could go!) we are all going to go trick-or-treating, going full out on our costumes like we couldn't do for the dance. Then after we're going to a theater kid Halloween party. (That's right, you heard me correctly.) It's going to be a fun night.

I'll keep you posted!

Peace out!

Big Doings

There's a lot of stuff going down here in the big, bad burly world (I did not coin this phrase...Jess did.) so I figured I would list them below:

1. I went home this weekend. I had a delightful time what with having a massive Thanksgiving dinner at my grandparents' house and finally getting to sleep in my own queen-sized bed. I also got to retrieve some new headphones. They're actually not new, they're just a spare I was keeping... But they replaced my old ones that almost KILLED me.

2. I got a huge collection of books to start research for this stupid religion project...AND I found another one of my group members. I informed them about the idea of individual research and then putting it altogether. She didn't enjoy this idea...obviously it's too much work. WELCOME TO COLLEGE, PEOPLE!!!

3. I signed up for the musical theater workshop here at UVM on Nov. 1st. This is also the informational meeting for Godspell auditions which are coming up soon! Now I have to prepare 16 bars from an uptempo musical number. Good thing I have a repertoire!

4. The monologue jukebox fundraiser that I was so psyched to be a part of was rained out today. But we still have Friday! You wanna know what else was cancelled? My costume fitting! Now I still have to wait to see my epic costume. Damn.

5. This monologue that I have to do for my theater class is really hard to memorize. WHY CAN'T HE JUST SPEAK CLEAR ENGLISH??? Well, because he's a hypochondriac... I DON'T CARE!!!

6. I found out I have rehearsal Thursday night. The same as the awesome Halloween dance party at Champlain. Good thing Megan came to my rescue. My rehearsal should be out in time, and we'll just go later. Along with this, I still have rehearsal on Saturday making it impossible to go home. AND Jess has to work until midnight so those Halloween plans fail. But we're just going to go trick-or-treating, watch some scary movies, and call it a night so it's not too bad.

7. I am officially a member of Music Makers! Thanks to a certain Velvet Williams who wonderfully asked Becky (the director) if I could join Music Makers, the kick ass singing group at Champlain, I am now a member! Starting next week, I get to go to all rehearsals! The only thing hinging on me performing at the concert is the fact that I haven't learned any of the music. but what Becky doesn't know is that I was in Select Choral Ensemble, I can do anything with music!! (not really...)

8. And on top of all that...there's no Glee tonight. Crap. All there is is the stupid World Series. Who needs that? Pssshhh! Oh well. We'll just have to find some other way to entertain ourselves at 308 tonight.

Peace out!

Monday Morning

*YAWN* I'm awake! I swear! It's Monday morning, and thanks to my teacher getting the flu (I hope she's OK!), I didn't have class this morning. So I got to sleep in until around nine o'clock and now I'm blogging. The sun is actually out today (The Beatle's song Here Comes The Sun comes to mind) and although it's cold, I think I can live with it seeing how fall is always beautiful in Vermont with sunshine.





I went home this weekend if only for one night. I had rehearsal on Saturday which kind of put a damper on my going home plan. I did that night though and yesterday my grandparents made a huge Thanksgiving dinner. Their going back to their winter home in Florida soon, so this was probably the last time I was going to get to see them before they left. So it was good family time before I had to be rushed back to the big bad Burly World.

It's okay though because the theater and my girls were there to welcome me back. We hung out last night, and because of our new fascination with the paranormal (see previous post) we tried out a ouija board in my room. It didn't work. Kind of an EPIC FAIL. Oh well, maybe we'll try again on Halloween.

Anywho, this coming weekend's plans have kind of been shot. I have rehearsal on Saturday which means I can't go home with Megan and Ashley to see our old high school's annual football tradition and see all of my friends, but I digress. I wanted to be in this play, and now I'm paying the consequences...

Peace out!

Paranormal Activity

Go see this movie! In fact, bring all your friends. Go as a HUGE group. This movie was amazing. I just went with the Feeley House Three (Megan, Jess, and Ashley) on an outing to a movie I don't think I'll ever forget. That movie was some shit!

Let me begin this story at the beginning...I was planning tonight to go to Nightmare Vermont with my roommate Joe and a few people we met at UVM, but that plan was epic fail, besides, why would I give up a night to spend time with my girls at 308? So after going to Jess' house to meet her brother Dylan, her Mom, and her step-Dad and grab the keys to the car, we went to Williston to the Majestic 10 theater (there's an escalator in there!).

After getting snacks we sat down for the movie...the lights went dark and the previews ran all the way through...then the fun started. I don't want to give anything away, but that was the scariest thing I've ever seen in my life. I also thought it was done with such artistry and creativeness. It was great. Scarriest friggin' movie ever.

I'm not gonna lie, I didn't think I was going to make it through this movie, but in the end I was so proud of myself. Good work, Paramount Pictures all those involved in that movie. Also, thanks to the audience we were watching this movie with. They were awesome, some of the best commentary and reactions I have ever seen with a horror movie.

Peace Out!

Teim

When God created the universe I believe He wanted the spelling of "team" to include an "I" like "teim" or the Spanish version "equipo". But humans, especially Americans, rebeled and changed the spelling to facilitate a meaningless phrase: "There's no I in TEAM!" This is definetely not the case in my group for my religion project.






Our task is to design a wiki on the college's Blackboard site about Chinese Buddhism's architecture, art, and music. Does that really sound that hard? Throw in a dysfunctional group of 5 and you got yourself a party! Not only did I have to watch today as one of my group members just walk off in the middle of a discussion. "K! I have a class at 4!" BUT I also have to deal with not knowing two of our group members. So I guess the only helpful one of the bunch is going to be the one who is failing the class. Great. At least someone's helping.

But at least we've got somewhat of a plan. We're all going to do independant research and then we're going to put it all together when we can finally meet. Sometime.

Anyway, I'm also unhappy because I found out I have rehearsal on Saturday which means I can't go home Friday night like I wanted to. Oh well. I'll just go after rehearsal. At least I get to have dinner at my grandparent's house! Seriously, that means awesome. If you've met my grandparents, you would totally understand. They're awesome and they cook wicked food. But this means I am probably going to go with Joe and a couple of friends we met here at good ole UVM to this interactive haunted house thing called "Nightmare Vermont". I get a reduced price ticket through the school, so this should be fun.

Peace Out!

Glee Night! (Again)

It's Wednesday which means it's Glee night! I'm so pumped. I'm here at 308 Feeley House with 35 minutes to go until Glee time. I wonder what's going to happen tonight. In real life, not too much is going on, kids. The only thing rocking and rolling is the grand webisode idea which has been approved for all audiences by the ladies at 308.




The basic synopsis that Megan gave for it is that it's sort of like That's So Raven only white, so it's going to be awesome. I have the first two episodes written and everyone has lots of ideas so once Jess gets all better (she's had a fever for the past 24 hrs. it's pretty bad) we are ready to film. More info (and backstage photos) to come...

So yeah, that's pretty much it except rehearsal was awesome last night. The set is almost done wich is awesome and I'm so excited to be doing stuff in this show. This can only lead to bigger and better things. This is really exciting, all of this acting stuff I've been doing because I really feel like I'm doing it all to move forward in my career and do something with my acting. Who knows? Maybe soon I'll get paid to act.

We can only hope!

But for now, peace out!
