    Year in Review (kinda)

    Go to your Calendar and find the first entry for each month of 2005.
    Post the first line of it in your journal, and that's your Year In Review:


    January:
      yeah, but you're not a ninja
    February:  Found this on Neil Gaiman's blog and it made me laugh...
    March:
    I put together a bunch of quotes that seem to go along well with what I've been feeling recently.
    April:
    I guess it's been awhile since my last update.
    May:
    AOL Journals need cut-tags
    June:
    more pre-graduation pictures; Courtesy of Lori (similar to mine, but good!):
    July:
    I love it when captions are all screwy.
    August: 
    Hi all, I'm alive and well and Milwaukee is great so far. September:  I realized that under "About Me" I'vew had the wrong number listed as my Apartment phone number for a long time now.
    October:  Another review for A Flea in Her Ear... methinks this one was written for the UWM paper, so not the most thruilling read ever, but...eh.
    November:  The most beautiful dog ever passed away early Tuesday morning. 
    December:  After numerous rounds of "We don't even know if Osama is still
    alive," Osama himself decided to send George Bush a letter in his
    own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game.

    That was an interesting representation of my year.  I bet it would work better if it was like, the third entry for every month instead of the first one.  Or choose ONE (any one) from each month..  Yeah, that'd work better.  What a weird year, really. I think I'm gonna go shadow Briana during ACC today, but I don't feel well so I really don't want to.  Sueno begins rehearsals on Tuesday!
    Oh, I saw Narnia last night.  I liked it lots.  I think they did a really great job with Aslan.  Now, I know we all know that Aslanis Jesus and the White Witch is Satan, but did you know:
    -Father Christmas = Galadriel?
    -Dude with the White Witch all the time (Ginarrbrik) = hobbit scale double?  No, really though.
    I'm not sure how I felt about this movie being rated PG.   I mean, I guess it's okay for kids to watch, although if *I* were a kid I'd be traumatized.  I mean, when they make it so clear that the bad guys are being killed and having their faces bitten off, it seems a little weird that they try and pretend it's okay for kids to see because they don't show blood and their swords stay shiny and clean to the last moment.  And of course, I can't help but compare how the movie was done to LOTR, and think that although LOTR is DEFINITELY not suitable for kiddies, it was somehow more okay for me to see innocent little hobbits kill orcs in self-defense than it was for me to see innocent teeangers kill things-that-look-like-orcs in self-defense.  Why?  Well, LOTR was scarier and therefore the stakes were heightened and I felt that my darling little hobittses needed to kill in order to survive.  Perhaps I felt in this case that really Aslan coulda kicked bad-guy butt without them and all good-guy deaths were reversible anyway so perhaps the kiddies shoulda kinda not...killed things.  Umm, yeah.  Also,
    Dear C.S. Lewis,
    Teenage boys should not be able to ride unicorns.  Do you know nothing?!  And wolves aren't so bad; it wasn't very nice of you to give them such a bad rep.  Finally, I'm a little disturbed that the kids grew up in Narnia without remembering home or their parents.  If Narnia is a good place, why does it erase their memories of people they love?  Sigh.  I miss Frodo.
    Frodo lives.

    This was dumb.  Oh well.  An update:

    -Madison with de Guys was awesome.  I had a wonderful time.

    -Sueno is now in prep.  We started today.. I'm not sure how that will be yet, since there's 4 of us on it.  And everyone is really good.  So will there really be any responsibility for me?  We shall see.  But all the acting interns are ensemble in it, and I'm SMing the U/S run of the show, so I'll be glad to finally do another show with other interns again.  Rehearsal starts Tuesday.

    -Saw Pride & Prejudice.  Pretty good.

    -No new LOST until January.  Are you KIDDING me, people?!

    -I'm not gonna use Yahoo photos as my online album anymore.  I mean, all the old pictures will still be there, but any new ones I take I will post on Flickr.

    -Had plenty of the white, I'm dreaming of a Hawaiian Christmas.

    -Gotta start looking into jobs again for life after the internship.  Here's what I know: I will be home this summer.  I might come back to Milwaukee in the Fall.  We'll see how things pan out.  Until they DO pan out...gotta do a search and submit some resumes.

    -I got to meet and hold Kelly's baby.  I had never met non-pregnant Kelly before, and I had also never seen the baby NOT inside her belly.  It was rather strange to have tangible evidence that there was in fact a baby in Kelly all during Flea.  Babies are interesting.  They make funny faces when they're hungry, and like looking at lights.

    -It's 6 degrees outside.

    -Other stuff...  I just don't know.

    Thursday, December 1, 2005

    After numerous rounds of "We don't even know if Osama is still
    alive," Osama himself decided to send George Bush a letter in his
    own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game.

    Bush opened the letter and it appeared to contain a coded message:
    370HSSV-0773H

    Bush was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Condi Rice. Condi and her
    aides had no clue either, so they sent it to the FBI. No one could
    solve it so it went to the CIA, then to the NSA.
    With no clue as to its meaning, they eventually asked Britain's MI-6
    for help. MI-6 cabled the White House:


    "Tell the president he's holding the message upside down."
