My Blog sucks

I sometimes think that blogs are a little stupid. So, I don't really like this one. Umm, I started a new one though, in efforts to keep myself new, and cool, and other fun words. Tracey is a hoser and unlinked me from her blog so this is to in spite of her. Here's my new blog link:

Enjoy

To my faithful blog subscribers:

Hello.
Yes, I know it has been some time since you've heard from me. I have a question to to pose you.
Eventually. So far this Christmas break has been full of good things. In no particular order:
Spending good quality time with old friends, often cut all too short.
Reading plays.
Seeing plays.
Watching movie trailers, which I often find more enjoyable than actually watching movies because they can sometimes let you down. Even crappy movies usually have decent trailers.
MUSIC!
Pictures.
Less poetry than desired, but enough to suffice.
Shopping? Not so much of that has been done.
Home cooked meals!
Summer job interviews.
Reveling in awkward situations.
Unexpected 'late' (this term I use loosely here) Perkins run, turing into a different Perkins run (oh wait, there's only one here, so...), turing into a Coldstone/ can we find ANYTHING to eat this time of night in this stinkin' town run, ending up in a Wendy's stop, and an ever so long stay at my least favorite retailer.

Things yet to come: (this is where some of you come in)
Several Christmas celebrations
Many more home cooked meals.
Painting?
Buying books for spring semester.
Research.
More plays.
Pre-blocking for Rope?
Hopefully more of many of the good things listed above.
Podcasts. My friends, I have the general idea of podcasts. I don't even know where to start looking for the good ones. What would you recommend? Maybe just tell me what some of your favs are and I'll check them out on iTunes.

My apologies for not being too creative here, but it must be my inner stage manager coming out and telling me I need to go to bed.

Missing Link: I would maybe post my semester grades here but I'm too scared to look at them. So I'll give you my classes for next semester that I'm going to embark on buying books for soon.

Good night and Good luck

And now you're back, from outerspace...

Since I'm lazy and everyone has been (rightfully) whining that I haven't posted in a long time, I'm going to post my most recent poem written on 10/19/06 it doesn't have a title yet, and yes, I ripped off the first line from Ben Folds, but only because I love him.

Don’t change your plans for me

but if I asked would you

would you change your entire life

your life and our economy

this world as you know it is not as it will be

I’m talking about living together

living and moving with the seasons

berries and leaves our nutrition

nutrition from the earth

No more higher education

mass transit or volkswagon beetles

no trendy computers

environmental destruction or wall maps

no time pieces

electrical boxes or choo choo trains

no wars

infanticide or world hunger


Just us


Missing Link: This is Techno-fast week here in West hall, it's tough but really quite neat. More info to come on that.

Go number 41!!

So, I haven't been blogging much lately. I have been slightly consumed by the theatre department. I am stage managing for our children's show this year called Man in the Moon. Should be a whole lot of fun. Here's a link to our season for this year, http://www.nwciowa.edu/calendar/section.110/events.aspx. Rush, Gone to Earth, and Directing Class One-acts are the other things I will be involved in in some way, shape, or form this semester.
I am Directing a show for the One-acts as seen above. Pending approval from my professor I'll be directing Asile 17B by John Walsh.
Okay, so I'm a really big dork and I'm in a photography class... and yesterday I deveolped my film in our dark room. Sadly, it didn't turn out at all, all of my beautiful pictures; ruined! I was sharing my frustration/ sadness with my friend Nhguav (who's name has been changed for his protection) told me to "come over so that we can be pissed off together" because his pictures didn't work either. What a great guy!

Hey Hey Hey!

So, I know I've been back in town a long time and have had plenty of time to Blog, and to tell you the truth I've thought about it often but never gave myself the time. I think it's because I felt like I was still in the 'tour computer using mode' the one where a host family offers to let me use their computer I take about 5 minutes to check my email. No replies unless absolutely necessary.
Yes, tour went great! I'd love to share some of my stories that I have logged away in my short term memory vault before they are overrun by thoughts of school and theatre and the college life.
My mom is doing well, continued prayers are appreciated. This woman amazes me, she is very strong, very confident. Never once have I heard her say "Why me?" or "Why now?" I have heard her say on several occasions, "Going to get through this; have to."

Today's Missing Link:
Worker trapped in vat of chocolate
First thing I thought of: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory I may or may not have seen this movie once or twice since I've been home.
