Brokeback parodies

So, Beth sent me this and I was amused...

But then, I found THIS:

Star Wars: The Empire Brokeback

television without pity proves this week that... it's funny because it's true:
>>On Craphole Island, Sayid is washing himself at some makeshift basin that seems to have been set up as far away as possible from any of the Lostaways' camps for some reason. Ana-Lucia comes running up, and demands to know where Jack is. She's pretty pushy with the guy whose soul mate she Cheneyed not all that long ago.<<
>>Sawyer says that if Hurley helps him find it, he can "keep on ranch dippin'." Hurley considers this deal, because, once again, the rest of the Lostaways would certainly be on Sawyer's side right now.<<
>>Sawyer and Hurley go tree-frog hunting. It's just such filler that even recapping it is a waste of time. Hurley gripes that this is how people get killed in scary films. No, this is how people get bored by pointless scenes that don't advance anything.<<
>>The timer resets to its customary 108 minutes, and Locke's really relieved. He'd seen last week's previews as well, and was under the impression we'd find out what happens when the timer runs out. But it looks like we're still on schedule to find out what happens sometime around Season 5.<<
Oh, snap.

In other news, if you're looking for a job for next year, it has come time for me to recommend that you apply to the Rep's internship program.  It's never too late in life, and I'd definitely recommend it REALLY highly to those wnating to go into stage management, very highly to actors, and just plain highly to those wanting to go into directing.  For SMs, it's a really great bridge between school and the professional world.  You can go into the professional world without crossing this particular bridge, but this'll make you a whole lot better at your job when you do.  For actors, although the main load of work is understudying rolls, you still get the potential to go on, you learn alot because you're working with so many varied professional actors and directors.
But seriously, DO NOTAPPLY if:
a) you're lazy.  I am not exaggerating when I say that you would be working 14 hour days 6 days a week for the duration of 9 months.  And I mean WORKING.
b) your ego is too large for your head.  That just won't work out too well for you.
c) your life is Musicals.  They do ONE here per year, folks, and it's A Christmas Carol.  Well, and Guys on Ice, but that wouldn't apply to you anyway.
d) you have a strong aversion to the following:  beer, cheese, the cold, brats, or food stamps
Okay, now here's a link, and a word to the wise: the part where it says that Carey Lawless is the production manager, and that you should send your stuff to her is a lie.  She is no longer the production manager.  If you're applying for the production internship, send your stuff to Judy Berdan.  SHE would be the production manager.  And say you know me.  And Jordan.  Unless you don't.  The end.

Good night, and good luck.

I have no voice.  I'm not sure where it went, but I only miss it a little right now.  I'm still in the fun, "Hey, everyone listen to my scary manly voice" phase.  However, when we do run-throughs of Intimate Apparel and I'm on book, like today, it sounds a little scary when I prompt people.  Alas.  Last night when I recorded the nightline, it was beautiful to listen to.

Not much new here this week.  Bad Dates closes on Sunday, so then I'll stick with Intimate Apparel 'til they open, and then...move on to my final show...  Crazy.  Apparel has been a good rehearsal process for me; Richelle and Amanda are a great team to work with and I have fun with them, and I've gotten to be the costumes liason for this show, which I've never done.  It's been good for me...I'm so used to thinking only about props in a weird kind of way as ASM, and this director is pretty demanding in some ways, so staying on top of costume stuff has been interesting for me. 

Poor kitty is starved for attention, poor body is starved for sleep, and poor Sawyer is starving for me to re-watch that Lost episode from Wednesday.  Final words of wisdom:

Good times...

I saw Match Point tonight.  Human race, you suck.  Jonathan Rhys Meyers, you're hot.  Remember Velvet Goldmine?

Have I mentioned I love Pandora.com?

Intimate Apparel starts rehearsals tomorrow.  Bad Dates continues to be a good time.  And Sueno, which I'm no longer on, opened last Friday.

You Are a Bloody MaryYou're a fairly serious drinker, who's experimented a lot with different drinks.
You're a drunk, but a stable drunk. You don't ever let your drinking get out of control.What Mixed Drink Are You?


The Keys to Your HeartYou are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when everything is uncertain, one moment heaven... the next moment hell.

You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

5 guilty pleasures

The Rules: The first player of this game starts with the topic of "5 Guilty Pleasures" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about 5 Guilty Pleasures as well as state this rule clearly. In the end you need to choose 5 people to be tagged and list their names.

1. the Stackner Cabaret (and of course, all things involved with it - alcohol, goldfish, olives, etc.).  Now, seriously, going there ervery night of my week is getting sad.  I would vow not to go there this week, but that would probably be a lie.

2. LOST.  Duh.  It has filled the void left in my heart by the passing of LOTR.

3. US Magazine.  It might be the best thing ever to read backstage during Bad Dates.  More so than Entertainment Weekly, believe it or not.  Well, and He's Just Not that Into You, but that is just one book rather than having a new issue every week. 

4. Sleep.   I would much rather sleep than vacuum or shower or eat or read or...  seriously.

5. finding people online.  AIM, facebook, myspace...they're all just shiny new ways to stalk people, and I enjoy them wayyyy too much
