Two Days Ago...

...I went by the Junior High, and on their marquee, they had Happy Christmas written.

Here's to the good ol' days

I just added a link to The Medicine Show pics on my sidebar. For all of you in that play, I really suggest you check it out. You can go back and remember when One Act Play was fun.

Its just, for the first time, I feel Wicked!

Somebody save me, I think I'm turning green!! Here are the lyrics to What Is This Feeling? from the Wicked soundtrack. Did you know that they have a DVD of Wicked? I typed all this myself, by the way.

GALINDA
(spoken) Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsical:

ELPHABA
(spoken) My dear Father:

BOTH
There's been some confusion
Over rooming here at Shiz:

ELPHABA
But of course, I'll care for Nessa:

GLINDA
But of course, I'll rise above it:

BOTH
For I know that's how you'd want me to
respond
Yes, there's been some confusion
For you see, my room-mate is:

GALINDA
Unusually and exceedingly peculiar
And altogether quite impossible to describe:

ELPHABABlonde.

GALINDA
What is this feeling?
So sudden and new?

ELPHABA
I felt it the moment
I laid eyes on you:

GALINDA
My pulse is rushing:

ELPHABA
My head is reeling:

GALINDA
My face is flushing:

BOTH
What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame,
Does it have a name?
Yes!: Loathing
Unadulterated loathing

GALINDA
For your face

ELPHABA
Your voice

GALINDA
Your clothing

BOTH
Let's just say - I loathe it all
Ev'ry little trait, however smal
lMakes my very flesh begin to crawl
With simple utter loathing
There's a strange exhilaration
In such total detestationI
t's so pure and strong!
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing
Loathing you
My whole life long!

STUDENTS
Dear Galinda, you are just too good
How do you stand it?
I don't think I could!
She's a terror! She's a Tartar!
We don't mean to show a bias,
But Galinda, you're a martyr!

GALINDA
Well: these things are sent to try us!

STUDENTS
Poor Galinda, forced to reside
With someone so disgusticified
We all just want to tell you:
We're all on your side!
We share your:

GALINDA AND ELPHABA STUDENTS
What is this feeling Loathing
So sudden and new? Unadulterated loathing
I felt the moment For her face, her voice
I laid eyes on you Her clothing
My pulse is rushing Let's just say:
My head is reeling We loathe it all!
Oh, what is this feeling? Ev'ry little trait however small
Does it have a name? Makes our very flesh
Yes: Begin to crawl
Ahhh... Ahhh...

ALL
Loathing!

GALINDA AND ELPHABA ALL
There's a strange
exhilaration Loathing
In such total
detestation Loathing
So pure, so strong Loathing

STUDENTS

And I will be loathing Loathing
For forever loathing Loathing Truly deeply
loathing you Loathing you
My whole
Life long! Loathing
Unadulterated
loathing
ELPHABA
Boo!

God, Its hard to type in columns!

If you have enough money to help one country, you should have enough to help every other country in the world.

Its like being able to eat in school only if you brought enough for the whole class. This is the article. The UN had the nerve to call the U.S. "stingy." they're saying that we don't provide enough aid to Asian Tsunami victims. Bush defended us by saying how much money we do provide. Sometimes America has to take care of the Americans! We can't give all our money away to other countries. Especially since Asia gets all of our money anyway from all the US imports from them. The budget office is going to have to struggle to come up with the funds for this emergency relief. Why are we are expected to help every country with their financial problems? What about Europe? There have plenty of money and their currency is stronger than the dollar. England isn't battling a huge defecit. On the subject of currency, I believe that people quit investing in the dollar in case Kerry won the election. Now that Bush is in office again, I think the value of the US Dollar will rebound.

Quake May Have Made Earth Wobble

The deadly Asian earthquake may have permanently accelerated the Earth's rotation -- shortening days by a fraction of a second -- and caused the planet to wobble on its axis, U.S. scientists say. So next time your late to band, you can say that you couldn't help it because days are now shorter!

An aerial view shows tsunami-damaged Meulaboh town, West Aceh, Indonesia, Tuesday, Dec. 28, 2004. Officials have recovered 3,400 bodies in the village so far, but they said they expect to find at least 10,000 died here from Sunday's 9.0 magnitude underwater earthquake and massive tidal waves.

Love

I've witnessed its highs and lows, and I am, without hope or agenda, hopelessly stricken.

Overstepping Boundaries

I seem to be rather bullish when it comes to boundaries today. I seem to have no sense of when enough is enough or what is appropriate. Maybe I just have cabin fever; I need to go somewhere. I saw A Series of Unfortunate Events today. It was very clever, and I would not mind seeing it again. For your diversion: www.4dave.com/randomstuff_007.shtml. Check the sidebar for new links.

Its Masturbating! (No, I'm not talking about me)

Today I watched every episode of "I Love the 8o's" on VH1 and finally found, in the 1980 episode, that Turning Japanese is referring to masturbation. It makes sense if you listen to the lyrics (The guy likes to look at her picture when no one is around.). And the squinty faces one makes...

More fun than a Red Rider BB Gun

Today is Christmas, folks, and tomorrow it will be gone. I hope everyone got what they wanted or something good (or at least a decent amount of cash). I had the most boring christmas I've had in awhile. I could not muster even the most fake excitement for any of my gifts. I think I have lost the ability to feel emotions. I got two sweatshirts, a t-shirt, a button down shirt, cooking oil, a cashmere sweater, another button down shirt (both button downs are the uggliest color of green) a package of loose leaf tea, a Santoku Knife, THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, WHITE CHICKS, CASTAWAY, A CHRISTMAS STORY, a matching pen and pencil (just the thing I need, how nice.)(no kidding), a pack each of underwear, socks, and white t-shirts, a tie, some shoes, pajama pants, an Apple ipod mini (coming after Christmas), some stuff that is still a surprise that's coming later, and the Wicked soundtrack. The red items are cool gifts, the others I would have rather had the cash equivalent. I don't know how good the other stuff will be. Drop me a comment and tell me what you got for Christmas. My parents must think that I like ugly clothes and sweatshirts and UT.

Come take my poll in the sidebar, you lazy readers.

Christmas in Dixie

I know that I've already made a Christmas Eve post, but I felt it necessary to make another one and tehnically, its Christmas day. I feel that there is not much more to be said, but I wanted to put in some pretty Christmas colors!!!! Microsoft will have to sell a striped version of Windows in Europe. I think Christmas is very special, and after watching Mr. Holland's Opus, I'm feeling a wave of sentiment. I hope everyone who is interested has taken a look at the OAP pictures. I will be posting pics from eighth grade OAP soon. I feel that this year will be a good year for Christmas. On a completely unrelated note, by lip balm has frozen and now I can't use it. Its all crunchy and it breaks apart when I try to put it on. I hope everyone has watched Nightmare Before Chirstmas at least once this holiday season. Happy Christmas! (I hate people who say that)

So Sad

I watched MR HOLLAND"S OPUS...again. And I cried at the end...agian...

My 1st Audio Post

(I know its crappy) this is for you, Parris

White Becomes Brown

Yes, its true. All the beautiful white snow the recent weather persuasions left behind has turned mostly into the disgusting color of shit brown due to melting and sanding and salting. So our white Christmas will only have white splotches. We finally finished our shopping today. We had to run to Best Buy and the manager was keeping it open past the closing time and was rushing people along. It was amazing the amount of people running in for a last minute gift. I was pretty tired because I stayed awake on the phone until 2:35 am after having talked for 248 minutes and 41 seconds to Parris. Then I went to to Town East Mall in Mesquite (Go marching festivals!) and I feared for my life. There were a lot of rather shady looking figures fighting over discounted items at Sears. 'Tis Christmas Eve and I wish all of ya'll an exceedingly merry Christmas I hope you all get what you want and let us hope that Cain isn't too drunk to remember that its Christmas.

Its Alive!!

I've done it at last! I've published an album of the rest of the one act play pics from last year. So check them out here and relive the glory days. If you want to see the rest of the OAP pics, I'm adding all the links to all my picture albums to the sidebar.

P.S. I'm sorry if I'm too lazy to type a description for everything, but I figure ya'll will know what the pics are about.

172,796...172,975...172,974...172,974... 

But aren't we all a little bloodthirsty around Christmas? 

It makes me feel stupid

I don't know how to strikethrough text

Freezing Cold in the Crotch of the Country

Yes, that's right, there is snow in Texas. How is it possible to drop below freezing after having been in the upper 70's just the day before? That's Texas for you. If you don't like to be bored with your weather patterns, then move here. Cain called me to say that it isn't even snowing in Virginia were she is. She got mad at me because I wasn't playing in the snow. At least Christmas in the crotch of the country will be improved by the fact that it might be a white Christmas after all. Or maybe

Texas de Brazil

Today I stuffed my entrails full of masticated cow!!! I went with my dad (the king of procrastinating) to get Christmas gifts for my mother. I had to guide him through the mall so we could get out of there in a timely manner. After we went shopping, we went to lunch with one of his contractors. This contractor throws an anual Xmas party for all his workers at Texas de Brazil. This is an all you can eat grilled meat restaurant. They come by your table with barely cooked meat on a spit and slice it onto your. So everyone probably overdosed on beef before the day was through. I didn't have to eat dinner, I had so much meat.

Its Tuesday and I'm locked up...

What a fun day. I went to Subway and that was about it. Oh, and my mom is mow taking care of her ex-husband. But don't tell her I told you. He is legally blind and can't take care of himself, so my mother and my sister (he is her father...so she's really my half sister) are helping to take care of him-its really kind of sad. We took him to Sam's to buy some vitamins in bulk, what fun. I forgot, I also got the form that I have to send in to Austin so my parents can get the stuff to give me a parent-taught drivers ed course. I'm glad we finally got it done, I've only been fifteen for EIGHT AND A HALF MONTHS!!!

Deep in the heart of Texas

I went to San Antonio on Sunday. They have really cheap gas. I went to see my great-grandfather. My dad and I drove down there and back in the same day. It was pretty boring. I had to hunt for good radio stations. We ate at Taco Cabana. My dad made me listen to old, bad, christmas music on the way back. We ate at the New Braunfels Smokehouse, it, unlike anything else, was good.

Party, Party, Party

The band party was friday! Its was kinda stupid, but it was stil fun. I love the Santa Clause 2! The reindeer are funny, ha, ha, ha, ha. Fun, dip, not to be confused with fun dip. Go driedle--or however you spell it.

do not attack the little thing. 

Jenny is taking a picture of me taking a pictue of Jenny taking a picture of me. 

When Alison becomes a teacher in 9 yrs, this is what she'll look like 

Its Alison practicing for her new role as Count Olaf from the new movie "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events." 

Jenny looks like she's recovering from a novacaine injection 

Its Perfect 

Fun with chemicals and Wal-Mart

Today I had my chemistry exam!!! "Yeah heat calculations," said the young man, his voice dripping with sarcasm. But Mr. Carey is cool, and the test wasn't too bad. Since the seniors didn't do a play this year, I got to leave early. Parris, my mom, and I went to: Subway, Wal-Mart, Kohls, Office Depot, Starbucks, and to my nephew's elementary school to see all the littluns sing Christmas carols...what fun. I've just finished bagging all my gifts for tomorrow. I was short on dinero, so I had to resort to baked goods for gifts. I hope people like them. I have to go study for world history. ITS THE LAST TEST!!!!

Oh, no--not this again.

Ohio Recount Resembles Florida in 2000

In a scene reminiscent of Florida circa 2000, two teams of Republican and Democratic election workers held punch-card ballots up to the light Wednesday and whispered back and forth as they tried to divine the voters' intent from a few hanging chads.

Observers for the presidential campaigns of John Kerry, President Bush and Green Party candidate David Cobb kept watch from chairs a few feet away.
The scene is being repeated statewide this week in a recount in the state that put Bush over the top in the election last month.
Officially, Bush beat Kerry by 119,000 votes in Ohio, but two third-party candidates collected the required $113,600 for a recount they claim will show serious irregularities. The Kerry campaign is supporting the recount, though it has acknowledged it will not change the outcome.

Two unfortunate events

The UN has cut its help programs for Sudan because two workers were killed.

&

A bomb near a Shi'ite shrine killed eight people and a fierce attack on Iran by a minister fueled fears of sectarian strife when campaigning began on Wednesday for Iraq's first election since Saddam Hussein's fall.

Funny News

One popular item for holiday shoppers is the "lap pillow," with skin-colored polyurethene calves folded under soft thighs -- a comfy cushion for napping, reading or watching television.
The 9,429 yen ($90) pillow, which comes with one red and one black skirt, went on sale in late November and maker Trane Co Ltd says shipments have reached 3,000 in just a few weeks.

"I'm perfectly happy to bare my skin if it will help save animals' skins," Pamela Anderson said in a statement.

Turkey leftovers will take on a whole new use after a Minnesota company finishes construction of a power plant fired by the birds' droppings.
It may not be the total answer to relieving the United States' addiction to foreign oil, but the plant will burn 90 percent turkey dung and create clean power for 55,000 homes.
Three poultry litter plants have already been built in England, but the Benson, Minnesota-based facility will be the first large-scale plant of its type in the U.S. and the largest in the world

Two unrelated things

Children who make regular visits to an indoor pool may develop damage to a type of lung cell that helps prevent airway inflammation, a new study suggests.
The researchers speculate that repeated exposure to chlorine byproducts in the air around indoor pools may harm these respiratory cells, known as Clara cells.

On Yahoo news, when you search for world news, the stories are grouped by country or region. I think its humorous that Australia is paired with Antarctica.

Are we headed for another depression?

President Bush pledged Wednesday to work with Congress to reduce the government's huge budget deficit as a key step in assuring the world that his administration supports a strong dollar.
"We'll do everything we can in the upcoming legislative session to send a signal to the markets that we'll deal with our deficit, which, hopefully, will cause people to want to buy dollars," Bush told reporters.

Bush's comments came following a meeting at the White House with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who had raised the issue of the dollar's plunge in value against the euro, the currency of Italy and 11 other European nations.
"The policy of my government is a strong-dollar policy," Bush said during a brief news conference following the Oval Office meeting, echoing statements he and Treasury Secretary John Snow have made numerous times over the past three years as the dollar's value has fallen sharply against many major currencies.

Bush's comments did not prevent financial markets on Wednesday from pushing the dollar's value lower against a range of currencies, including the euro. Currency markets focused more on a Treasury Department report showing that foreigners' purchases of U.S. stocks and bonds in October fell to the slowest pace in a year.

Bush's comments on the dollar came one day after the government reported that the U.S. trade deficit hit a monthly record of $55.5 billion in October.

The swelling size of the trade deficit has raised concerns among economists that the dollar's decline, which has been gradual so far, could suddenly accelerate as foreigners grow worried about the ability of the United States to keep attracting enough foreign capital to finance trade deficits at such high levels.
If the dollar were to suddenly plummet in value, that could cause foreign investors in U.S. stocks and bonds to rush for the exits. Such a development would send stock prices plunging and interest rates soaring. Some analysts believe the shock would be enough to push the country into another recession.

Requiem

As of Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2004, at least 1,303 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. At least 1,019 died as a result of hostile action, the Defense Department said. The figures include three military civilians.

The British military has reported 74 deaths; Italy, 19; Poland, 13; Spain, 11; Ukraine, nine; Bulgaria, seven; Slovakia, three; Estonia, Thailand and the Netherlands, two each; and Denmark, El Salvador, Hungary and Latvia one death each!

Since May 1, 2003, when President Bush declared that major combat operations in Iraq had ended, 1,165 U.S. military members have died, according to AP's count. That includes at least 910 deaths resulting from hostile action, according to the military's numbers. I support our efforts in Iraq, but this is a little ridiculous.

Brian will be interested to know

We have photochemical smog on the run!

The average level of a deadly form of air pollution dropped in the USA from 1999 to 2003 as new pollution controls made strides in battling the nation's air quality problem, the Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday.

The deadliest form of particulate pollution, the soot emitted by tailpipes and smokestacks, fell 10% during the four-year period, the EPA reported. Particulate kills tens of thousands of people each year by triggering heart and lung problems, EPA reports have said.

What is YOUR name in Elvish?

I know you've always wondered. The link is in the title, as always.

What is she thinking? Wouldn't you like to know. 

Parris bathed in Divine Light 

What fun does this football game have in store? 

A sampling from my collection of pictures of Parris. I'm going to start collections for everyone. Then I'll make albums and make permanent sidebar links. 

Parris and Cain. Why does Parris seem to be in a state of total ecstasy? You tell me. 

Playing stands tunes at a football game is just...shocking. 

Old people are mean

Julia, Leah, and I went to the nursing home in Celina to give Christmas gifts to our assigned residents for BETA Club. When we got there, we had to leave and come back later, because they were having lunch. When we got back we found our residents' room and we had to give them the gifts and spend some time with them. Julia's was bedridden and admitted to being mentally unstable. Leah's was very nice and seemed in pretty good condition (even though she was crippled), but she had just lost her son in a car accident in Celina. They were both really nice, but mine was soooo mean! I went in and I had to make sure I had the right person because they shared rooms. When I went to give my person her gift, she said she didn't like kids from the high school and that she didn't want her gift. She glared at us and was unfriendly and incoherent. If it wasn't for BETA, I probably would've been mean to her, too, and taken the gift and left. But, since this was required and I didn't want the woman not to have a gift, we persuaded her to take the gift and we engaged in some forced, unpleasant, and awkward conversation. In conclusion, if I ever get a cat, I'm naming her Mrs. Tibbles!

Creepy

Everyone gets thousands of letters from colleges that want you to consider them, but I recently got one from Washington College that really stood out. That college knew a freaky amount of stuff about me. They knew my grade, my classes, my high school, all my standardized test scores, what extracarriculars I'm interested in, my SSN, my online purchases. OK, the last one they didn't know, but still, it was pretty interesting that they did so much research.

Chrsitmas break already!

Not exactly, but its only two days away. I have to go to San Antonio on Saturday to visit my great-grandfather who I just found out was a democrat. Its funny since he was in a family of Republicans and was a two star general. But anyway, lets back up to a Monday. On Monday, the Celina Band went to Settler's Ridge Nursing Home to play our Christmas Carols. When we got to the old people place, we were rudely turned away. So, in summary, 1st the Baptist Church has banished us to the Methodist Church for ou Christmas concert, and now the nursing home has turned us away. May I point out that both establishments are located in the same general vicinity and aparently hold the same sacrimonious values.

WHAT NOW!

I broke the 1000 visitor mark, oh yes. However, since the temp in TX has been in the teens, my keys on my keyboard are all sticking, but I'm not sure why.

Hump Day Hullabaloo!

Today was crazy with high emotions concerning One Act Play tryout results. Alright, I know you've heard opposing viewpoints, but I must publish my official opinion on the subject (with as much factual evidence as I can provide). I do feel a little uncomfortable with the decisions made by the judges. If this sounds conceited, I am sorry (esp. if either one of you reads this), but I think that I am a better actor than Adam T. And that Adam T. Is a better actor than CJ, but that's apparently just my opinion. I believe that they did not do what was in the best interests of the performers, but by saying this, I don't mean that we have to do The Crucible. If the whole cast feels that we should try and give another play a shot, then we should be able to voice this desire. If permission is given by the publisher of a play, then "role reversal" is acceptable. This means that if we had permission (which I believe would be readily granted for such an interesting concept) for a role reversal, then males could play female roles and females, males. In this case, we would have plenty of parts for, say, The Crucible. In addition, I have never heard "A Young Lady of Property" and, without seeing it performed, am not confident in our ability to perform to the best of our abilities because of a lack enthusiasm or its win ability. I do feel that a petition, while well within our constitutional rights, is a bit inappropriate. For example, we have the right to say fuck you to somebody, but it is not always tactful or appropriate. Since several individuals tried to present a case to a judge unsuccessfully, it seem that there is no way to have the decisions retracted. I feel disappointed that two actresses who made the play have to undergo ridicule because it is believed that their parent's were the reason for their being chosen,whether it be true or not. I also extend my condolences to those who did not make the play, just remember that it is just a UIL event and (for most) there is always next year. Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Hewett are very decisive and resolute individuals with classical values that do not include giving the rights of an adult to children; they will not give from their positions unless it behooves them. To those who believe we should recruit more males: While the judges don't want to compromise the integrity of the play by having another audition, I think that it is possible to have a male recruitment that is very hasty and informal and would not jeopardize the OAP's reputation. The only thing wrong is: since we've addressed the issue and they say their decision is final, they cannot change our play without disappointing more people. Look forward (most of you) to performing The Crucible next year (maybe I'll have a larger part). Ultimately, we should support the decisions of the director(s) and not act like petulant children. Let's put on a good play this year and let's drop the issue of what is wrong with this year (even if it seems as if it will suck). To those who made the troupe this year, I give you my congratulations.
--Publius
P.S.: Concerning the iron fisted running of rehearsals: I'm all for having efficient and effective rehearsing, but it is my contention that this involves a certain degree of informality where the individuals cannot and should not be stifled. I do feel that it is unlikely they will keep us fixed to such a tight disciplinary system all year. There abrasiveness in addressing the issue of how stationary rehearsal time should appropriately be spent is slightly offensive to me. It makes me feel as if I should do something, anything, to undermine authority. While I am not totally in favor of causing trouble over the play decision, I feel no remorse for giving the directors hell.

The Celina Bobcats lost last Friday to the Crawford Pirates. Lots of mixed emotions I am feeling. On one hand I am sad to see them lose. But on the other hand, I don't have to copy anymore stands tunes. I hate being band librarian. John Clark was throwing the ball too high and giving Crawford a chance to take out the recievers and Alan Jones caught like two passes. The player who scored the most was injured, and the drill team was learning their Dixie Chicks dance which they never get to perform because we always lose when they begin to learn it and the sign was late so the players couldn't run through it. The planets just weren't aligned in our favor.

The Region

ATSSB region tryouts were on thurday, and I was not prepared. I went and I played crappily and didn't even make a band. However, the sax's didn't use it as a challenge for chairs, so the chairs are still locked, so everything is good.
