Excited

Nothing much to discuss. I am really excited for West Side Story. I was cast as Doc, and its an excellent part. I really look forward to rehearsing and performing this excellent show. The director is really excited, and I think that this will be a very memorable experience. I don't have a lot going on right now. I'm probably going to watch TV in about 10 minutes, other than that, this is a short week, since Thanksgiving is Thursday. Then I'll be able to recognize the fact that we have to get ready for Christmas, as opposed to before Halloween. Also, tomorrow is my Mom's birthday. I got her a very nice gift with my brother, which I'll tell you after she opens in case she reads this, (which I doubt she will, since she does not know about it). Nothing else to report, have a good night.

PS Sorry for the double post last time. I would fix it if I knew how.

Catch up

Sorry I havent' posted in several months. Not that anybody reads this, but it is still nice to keep it updated. Anyway, the Emmys were good, but I don't think Raymond should have won for comedy, but that's just me.
Have you heard about Arrested? (Link to EW Arrested story). This is not good, its practically canceled. I still hold out hope, as no one from Fox has said anything about cancellation yet, but 22 to 13 is not a good sign, and neither is being cut from November Sweeps. Kitchen Confidential, another hilarious show, is also being put on hiatus, and is as good as cancelled. So I'm calling out to all 0 of you to please watch both shows, write to advertisers, Fox, etc., and overall promote it. We can't let something this hilarious die. PLEASE!!
In other news, auditions for West Side Story are at my school this afternoon. I will be singing Maria, and should do alright in that part. I am worried about the dancing, but if I am cast it will probably be as an adult (I am almost always somebody older in the plays at school), which is okay, because I will still be part of the cast, and won't really have to dance.
I was just in a hilarious play called On the Razzle by Tom Stoppard. I played the Constable. I only had 9 lines, but everybody in the play was great, and I had an awesome time being part of the cast. It was what some are calling the funniest show ever to come to my school, and I am so lucky to have been a part of it.
That's all for now bloggers, I'll (hopefully) write to you soon!

Emmy Noms!

Yay for the people who decide the emmy nominations. 3/5 of writing to Arrested Development, and 3 acting noms! (check http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=3781 for season 2 box set artwork and http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=3771 for episode info). Yay 2 noms for Scrubs, another show that does not get the success it deserves, and is not nearly critically acclaimed enough. Yay Hugh Laurie, who makes House so delightful to watch. Yay Lost, although I was too busy to get into it, the few episodes I saw were fantastic, and I'll try to get the DVD to catch up for season 2. Boo to Desparate Housewives as a comedy, when it should be in a category of its own, from what I hear anyway. Maybe there should be a whole new dramadey category for shows like that. I can't think of any others at the moment, but if you can post them for me. Boo to no noms for The Office, a show that caused me to laugh out loud every episode, for the better part of the 22 minutes. Huh? for Huff, which from what I have heard is not that brilliant (although I love Hank Azaria), and Patricia Arquette, whose breathy high-pitched voice in Medium distracted me from enjoying it.

This is a picture I took on my recent trip to Washington DC. Doesn't it just look like a postcard? Well, except for the thing in the corner. Beautiful! 

Article

There is a really good article in my school newspaper, Trapezoid about online blogs and journals. It is not up on the web yet, but will be. Visit http://www.bcsd.org/ and click on Brighton High School. Then click on publications and forms, and then on the lefthand side there should be a link to trapezoid. Click on that, and then on In-depth. It should be up soon, a month at the most. Check it out! It's very well written.

Anyway, check out the site above if you have been missing Dave Barry since he has been taking a break. I always used to really enjoy his columns, and now you can read classic ones online, and even sign up to get a reminder to do so. Check it out if you need a laugh.

Sorry

Sorry I haven't been able to post for a while. Been Kind of busy. The play went great, and we did a great job. I was kind of sad it was over, but I feel better now. Today we got out of school to see Coach Carter with Samuel L. Jackson. It has to do with something we have called TAG group, and it was about Academic Elligibility. I thought the movie was okay, a little long, but it was pretty interesting. Anyway, I am supposed to be doing homework now, so I'd better get to work.

Back to School

Well, I'm back. I got an A on Math, a 91 in Social Studies, and an 86 in Science. Not bad. So today I have to stay after for a headshot, then run home, do homework, eat dinner, work some more on my lines for the play, and then rush back out. I have rehearsal from 5-9:15, which is an extremely tiring schedule. I am going to be pooped the next couple of days, and quite possibly cranky. Anyway, last nights Arrested was awesome, I loved the "Car Trouble" line at the end of act 2. I laughed a ton. Simpsons was good too, as was Malcolm. I had a good night. And next week is the Superbowl, which means the awesome new commercials, the only reason I watch. (Well, that and the food). AND a new Simpsons and the premier of American Dad, Seth MacFarlane's new show with a political twist. Boy, what a great time to be alive. Okay, I should go start reading Of Mice and Men for English, since it is due Friday, along with 10 questions. Peace!

Science + Math

I'm about 10 minutes away from going to take my science midterm. After that, I have a little while until it is time for math. I don't know what I'll do in between, but I'll figure something out. I feel like these will be fairly easy, I'll probably get at least upper B's in both of them. So in English class we are starting Of Mice and Men. We have to read it all and answer 10 questions by next Thursday. I'll probably start tomorrow. Also, the play I'm in, Rhinoceros, has a rehearsal tomorrow from 3-5, and I have to be memorized and off book by then. I'm getting close, but I'll work on it a lot today. Anyway, I should think about heading over to the test area, I'll write in a couple of hours.

1 Midterm Down!

I just took my Social Studies midterm. It was pretty easy, even though it was the one I was most worried about. (Kudos to you who got that right, if there are any of you!) Anyway, I knew most of the multiple choice, my worst was probably Africa. Current Events was pretty easy, and Intro and South Asia were fairly easy as well. The essay I didn't like though. It was to write about the Geography of one of the countries on a list. I chose India, and wrote about isolation, Kashmir, and all that. I think I did pretty well, anyway I have Math and Science tomorrow, and those should be pretty easy. See ya!

Back to School

Well, I had to go back to school today, after yesterday off. So far I've had 2 tests, and went over two different ones. I have midterms next week, but otherwise it is working as usual. I only have three midterms this year, in Social Stuides, Science, and Math, 2 of which are going to be easy. Guess which one in the comments section. Gotta go, time for English.

Golden Globes

So I watched most of the GG's last night. Pretty good stuff. No really big surprises, I don't think. Congrats to Jason Bateman on Best Actor in a Comedy, the show really needs it. Too bad the show was on as he won. I don't think I've really seen any of the movies that were nominated, so I didn't have any strong feelings. Although, Sideways is the critical darling of the year. So, if you would like to comment on what you thought about the Globes, just hit the button below. I will respect your opinion, even if it is totally different than mine.

Another Day

Well, today I went to the principals office for the first time ever. Actually, it was the vice-principal, but it doesn't matter. We have this group that we meet with in school once every six days, and I had mine yesterday. I completely forgot about it! It was the first one since after holiday recess, and I wasn't completely back in the groove. So I got a call at home yesterday, and they asked me if I was in school 5th period. I said yes, and then they asked me if I went to class. I had realized earlier that I had missed the class, and I said no that I wasn't there. Then they said I had to go to the principals office today. So I did, she asked me why, I told her I forgot, and she let me off with a warning. But, if I ever miss a class again, then I will get a detention. So, all that worrying for nothing. Well, it makes a good story!

One Day Down

The rest of my life to go! Wow! This is really easy, I can't believe how simple it is to share my thoughts with the world. I'll tell you a little more about myself. I am very out there for my age. I like classical music and showtunes, which is not normal, and I do not like sports at all, with Phys. Ed. being my least favorite class, but I still like the teacher. That is an important distinction I've made, Gym teachers are some of the nicest teachers you'll ever have, I just don't like the subject. Umm. . . I play the violin, and I enjoy singing. I sing with my church choir, and do many other activities at my church. I am a Roman Catholic, and my family is mostly Irish. That about raps it up for now, see you tomorrow!

I'm Back

Well, I'm back. Just got home from school a little while ago. I think I'll start off with my first book review tomorrow, but today I'll just name some stuff about me. I am fairly young, still in High School, and really enjoy my school. I like to act, read, watch TV, etc. I am fat, but am working on loosing weight, and have a workout program that I do on Tuesdays, Thursdays and on the weekends. My favorite TV show is Arrested Development 8:30 Sundays on FOX. You should watch it, it is the most hilarious show I have ever seen. I also am a huge Simpsons fan, and I watch The Apprentice, Still Standing, Malcolm in the Middle, Joey, and many other things I occasinally watch. Well, that seems like enough for now, so I'll work on my homework, and check back later tonight.

Hello, World

Welcome to my source to talk with you. Yep, all one of you who will probably come to this by accident. Well, I'm a little rushed now, but I'll post more later, and be sure to look out for reviews, thoughts, and more! This has got a lot of potential.
