So it's been a while since I really made a post here, oh where oh where do I begin?
The Brighton Beach Memoirs is going quite well. I was so impressed by how everything just sort of "snapped" together at the last minute and disorganized as we were, the whole cast and crew really put on their A game last Thursday for opening. It was so beautiful I almost cried.
We just have one more week left of the production but if you get the chance seeeee itttttt! It's amazing. I'll be there on Thursday and then I'll be AWOL for the rest of the production, only to hand back props at the beginning of next week to their respectful owners.
Despite the huge amount of stress that accompanies a performance, I'm really glad I got to be a part of it and even more so that I was able to see the whole thing through to the end without going bald! (I like having hair...)
I just hope the momentum carries us into next week where we can wrap this production up and worry about the next one in January (of which I will be auditioning for) :)
As for class, we did our Twelfth Night scenes today. Let me tell you, I would have much rather preferred we did them last Thursday. I was very tired, not in the mindset of the character and oh baby did it show like a hookers butt cheek. I still got a good grade but had I been in the "zone" I would have been much more apt to receiving a better grade. But what can you do? I still did good...just not great.
But at least it is out of the way. I can begin focusing on my third play, Hamlet. Ugh, how I hate your iambic pentameter Shakespeare, how I hate it. It's difficult to work on, but I will get it down, or at least I'll give it my best shot.
On a complete side note I am so glad this term is coming to its dramatic conclusion. I'll have a degree. I'll have a life again, and most importantly of all, I'll have money, money that I can use to do my most favorite drug in the world, heroine! (It's actually travelling, just in case you were getting worried).

"Obama Is Unkind Perdy".....
Since SOMEBODY! cut my internet at my house, I'm at a coffee shop writing this so I'm going to make this quick.
Acting class has taken a turn for the better! I've been able to successfully complete my messenger speech (twice mind you!) and soon will be presenting my and Rory's scene from Twelfth Night (hence the title).
However the play production is really coming down to the wire. I can't believe we are actually going to present Thursday. We don't even have all the props, people aren't memorized, the stage is coming together nicely though....But yeah, high stress environment. Several things are still hanging in the air so I'll just keep my fingers crossed that it gets completed successfully. But where there's a will there's a way I suppose.
Okay this is the only time I'll say this, and I promise I'll never use my blog for writing about this again, but I am sick and tired of everyone having so much faith in Obama, or as I like to call him, Obamarama. He is a politician, and being such he's a goddamn liar. Everyone has so much faith for him to "fix" the economy, to "fix" Washington, and to make America great again. But what they don't realize is that it's not up to a President to fix the economy, that's the whole point of Free Trade. It's up to us, business owners, lenders, and consumers. Only we can turn around the economy and only we can change the outlook of this now looming recession.
I'm going to end this little complaint on this note: I was listening to the radio several days ago, during the night of the election, and a lady had called into Mark and Dave on 1190 KEX radio station. She was glad Obama won but she was worried that Obama wouldn't take office in time to help her. She is unable to make a payment on her home and her car and the bank is going to repossess both if she doesn't come up with enough money to help pay it off, and I'm sure many Americans are feeling this pinch. So she needed him to take office now so he can help her from losing those things.
Another lady was upset because she was unable to make her student loan payment. Obama said to her that it's okay, we'll find a way to help you pay off your loan.
Both examples are of people living beyond their means and as a result are suffering because of the choices they made, and not doing what they could to get around that.
Does someone making low wage need a house and a new car so bad that they're willing to pull themselves severly into debt?
How foolish can the student be for not pursuing other options such as financial aid and scholarships? or instead going to a community college her first two years, or possibly going to school instate and not choosing to go to that private school that's five times as much?
So according to Obama only people making over 250,000 will have to pay for these people right? http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/10/senator_obamas_four_tax_increa.html read that and find out.
And even if that is so, does it make it right? If I made poor choices and ended up owing a large sum in student loans should someone I've never met have to suffer the consequences for my poor decision making?
Should I be responsible for the woman callers house payment and new car payment while I'm living within my means making smart choices and driving an old junker?
No, it's not fair, it's not right, and if the founding fathers both republican and democrat heard this they'd be rolling in their graves.
This is only part of my guff with Obama and I could go on forever but I'll stop with this. Next time you look at Obama, look at what he's voted for, approved of, and who his contacts are. You'd be surprised.
Okay one more thing, look up his idea of a "civilian corp". Another leader had this same idea, out of Germany, in the 1930's.......
Prove me wrong Obama for the love of God prove me wrong.

We're dancing to the beat of nightmares!!!
Well this was quite the eventful Halloween if I must say so myself. The set is being built, my wisdom teeth came out, I saw a Halloween dance thing at Chemeketa, and tonight, tonight I'm going to see Twelfth Night so as to better understand the play, my character Malvolio, and of course to have a good time. I think there's a lot to be looking out for while seeing this play, especially that whole deal about the "fool", that's going to be important.
I don't know what it is but I feel this term that I'm not giving my all so to speak. I mean I'm trying, but I am not seeming to be as successful as I usually am in school. Hopefully I'll be able to overcome that before the term sees it's dramatic conclusion.
It looks like since we've casted Susan the whole production has really kicked into high gear, I can feel the energy all around me whenever I'm around the cast and technical crew. I'll be overseeing the construction of the prop table tomorrow if I feel up to it so hopefully that should be fun.
Anyways, think there's enough time in the term to turn my grades around if I feel that I'm being sloppy. I just have to turn this week into the same energy that I've seen the cast do. Maybe that's all I need is a little good fortune in the air.
