Update on Me

Let's see, what has been happening the past week or so. For those of you who hadn't heard, I did NOT get cast in Curtains. I'm ok with it now. I was very sad about not being cast because I really wanted to be in the show, but I'm extremely happy and excited that I was called back for a lead. I was called back for Carmon (for those who know the show), but I think I am too young to play the part. Oh well!

On the 23rd my mom, dad, Stephanie, Hutch, Duncan and myself went to a Bees game. I kept calling it a Buzz game but was corrected that they are now called the Bees. The Bees lost but we did have a good time. It got boring for Duncan (and myself a bit too) but he enjoyed watching the bee mascot dance around. After the game was over they shot off fireworks so we all enjoyed that. That night was also "Michael Jackson" night which meant they played clips of his songs through the whole night and the announcer dressed like a circus master version of Michael. Steph's not a fan of Michael Jackson so she was a bit disappointed that I hadn't told her it was Michael Jackson night. Oops!

Friday was a really nice relaxing day. Hutch and I stayed in bed and watched the Days of 47 Parade. After that we got take out from EJo (Korean) and ate at the salon with Tifany, Hutch's sister. She was really bored so we brought lunch and we had fun chatting. After that Hutch and I went home and were lazy the rest of the day. It was fabulous! We were invited to 3 BBQ's that night (thanks for the invites!) but we stayed home and were lazy. We sat around and watched movies. It was really nice to have a relaxing day like that.

Saturday I went to water aerobics and Deb worked us HARD! It was a really good workout. Then Hutch and I went shopping for cheese. A friend was having a cheese party that night and our country was Switzerland so we went to Pirate O's and got some skeegy cheeses. (translated, smelly cheese). That night we ate so much cheese. It was really yummy though. We all tried new cheeses and drinks. After we stuffed ourself with cheese (and we didn't even eat all that was brought - there was a lot) we watched "Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog" but we watched the "Commentary the musical" version. That was A LOT of fun too!

Wednesday my besty, Stephanie, asked me to go to a soccer game at Rio Tinto. It was the All-Star game. The team from England won by one kick. Stephanie and I had a lot of fun "acting" like we didn't know what was going on. We did, however, enjoy the really attractive funny guy sitting behind us. And Steph was excited that a few of the players did take their shirts off after the game. That was the whole reason she went.

My mom had surgery on her foot yesterday and is doing well. She's home but stuck to her bed. She's starting to get pretty bored. My sis and I are going to take lunch to her tomorrow and we'll visit and watch a movie. My mom hasn't seen "Ironman" yet, (I KNOW!! Crazy!!) so we will probably be watching that as well. I figure Becky and I are crazy enough (especially when we're together) that we will be hours of entertainment for my mom.

I had some pictures and video to go with this blog but haven't downloaded them. You'll just have to use your imagination. :)

For Jessie

Why I love Dancing!

This powerful dance is about Breast Cancer. Try to watch it and not tear up. I love that dancing can say so much without using words. This is a very special number. Makes me want to become a better dancer.

Ghostbusters

I thoroughly enjoy the movie "Ghostbusters". I can watch it over and over again and still laugh really hard. Some of the best movie lines are from this movie. Rumor has it a third movie is in the works. That kind of worries me because when you have a movie that is as funny as Ghostbusters and has a follow up with Ghostbusters Two (which wasn't too bad) the third doesn't have that great of a chance of working. I guess we'll see. I wanted to post some of my favorite lines from the movie. Enjoy!!

- "Shh!! Do you smell something?"
- "You're right. No human being would stack books like that."
- "This reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole in your head." "It would have work if you hadn't tried to stop me."
- "Do you have any hobbies?" "I collect spores, mold and fungus."
- "I was just exercising. I tape 20 minute workouts on my machine and play them back at high speed, so it only took 10 minutes. I got a great workout."
- "There's something very important I forgot to tell you." "What?" "Don't cross the streams." "Why?" "It would be bad." "I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean bad?" "Try to imagine al life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light." "Total plotonic reversal." "That's bad. Ok, importanty safety tip, thanks Egon."
- "Your girlfriend lives right in the center of spook central." "She's not my girlfriend. I find her interesting because she's a client and she sleeps above her covers. Four feet abover her covers. She barks, she drools, she claws..." "It's not the girl, Peter. It's the building."
- "Hey, wait a minute. Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hold it! Now, are we actually gonna go before a federal judge and tell him that some moldy Babylonian god is going to drop in on Centeral Park West, and start tearing up the city?" "Sumerian, not Babylonian." "Yeah, big difference. No offence guys, but I've gotta get my own lawyer."
- "Hey, were do these stairs go?" "They go up."
- "Gozer the Gozerian...good evening. As a duly designated representative of the City, County and State of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parrallel dimension." "That oughta do it. Thanks very much, Ray."
- "What about the nice lady who paid us in advance before she turned into a dog."
- "Oh! The superintendant is going to be pissed."
- "I love this town!!"

Call-Backs

I made call-backs for "Curtains" at Hale Centre Theatre. The call-backs are tonight and I'm very nervous. Keep happy thoughts for me tonight. I really want to be in this show!! Keep your fingers crossed!!

Harry Potter 6

LOVED IT!! I cried my eyes out, no surprise. It could have been longer and I still would have enjoyed it! Go see it!!

Also, Tom Felton is a great actor. He plays Draco Malfoy. He doesn't have very many lines in this film but you can visually see his distress and the decisions he's trying to make. I really feel bad for Draco. Kudos to Tom!! I'll wait to say more until more of you have seen it.

New Picture

You'll probably notice there's a new picture of me on the side (look to the left...there it is!). That is my new head shot. My besty Steph took it. She's talented. Casey, Steph and I got together last week for a little photo session. It was a lot of fun. We took a ton of pictures then went to dinner. Isn't that how all head shots are done? Steph's awesome sister-in-law Katie did the editing. She did a great job!! Below is the photo in color and the final that has my name on it (which is the same as the one to the left, just has my name added.) What do you think? Do you see the talent that Steph and Katie have? They're both amazing!!
