When standing...

A word (or two) of warning... when bending over to pick up something underneath a lofted bed, DON't STAND UP. It's painful in the head.

In other news, the UWMC's play is this weekend (28th, etc.) and the following weekend. Tickets are available through the UWMC box office and probably at the door. The play is Arthur Miller's All My Sons. Arthur Miller also wrote Death of a Salesman. It's a drama, I guess, about an embarrassing/shameful/forgotten episode in the life of a family after WWII.

Due to some health problems and/or stress, a cast member has dropped out, and I have replaced her. I have a medium/small part. I have had the script since three o'clock on Monday afternoon and we open on Friday. I'm really excited, but overwhelmed. ANYWAY, people should come and see it whether I'm in it or not! It's actually pretty good, and it pertains to the issues of the war, somewhat.

Also, I had a Spanish test this morning. En este examen, tuve que llena espacios y escribe palabras, y mi cabeza tiene doler, ahora. (In the test, I had to fill in spaces and write words, and now my head hurts.) Anyway, with all this, and the fact that I'll be 'stuck' in Wausau with the play for the next two weekends, and the rehearsals last until 10:00 pm, I'm very tired and stressed. But, it will be alright in the end:)

I'm planning on 'celebrating' Halloween in my dorm room, while sleeping desperately. Maybe it's good to be here this weekend, I'll sleep...

That's all for now. Es todo por ahora.
If you have any questions, Si tiene preguntas,
I'm around. estoy por aqui.

Precious People

Well, I just clicked on the green plus sign which means more nonsense for y'all to read. I'm working one of my two terrible Sunday evening shifts tonight. It's great. I feel like one of those people who sit around complaining about their office job... well... Anyway, When I first arrived, I put in my security code, and then like the deranged person I am, I started unlocking the doors BEFORE the thing stopped beeping, so the alarm started going off, and as it screamed terribly in my ear, I put in my code again. It stopped, but a guy who works in the computer lab was coming up the stairs, and he said, " You should probably call the emergency response center..." So I came in and I called the number and gave them the code and the lady said she just stopped the person who would have responded, so they didn't drive here for nothing (actually it costs the school about $40 per disaster). Crikey. So that was just tons of fun. Also, when I got my BBQ chicken in the cafeteria tonight, there were little feather bits attached to the skin, so that was lots of fun as well.
I got my dishes washed tonight, and I have to work on Spanish, as usual. That's all for now...

Canon Camera...

I'm not sure where your camera book is, Carlo, but I shall look into the matter. Don't fear.

In other news, I have a headache due to sinuses (I hope, otherwise I have some problem with my eyes and my nose as well as a headache, which probably means I have a terrible malady.), and I am at work for an hour, until later when I work from 6-9.

Yay.

Will talk to everyone later

ordinarily

Ordinarily I wouldn't be posting this early in the morning, but I have this secret shift from 7:30 to 9:00 on Wed. morning that just kills me:).

Medium is a show on local channels, usually, about a woman, Allison, who is a sort of contact person for the dead/past/crime and she helps solve cold cases and general crimes. This means, however, that she must dream-experience, or dream about whatever truly happens. Of course, there is also much drama and confusion.

Last night I edited a couple friends' papers, and some of us watched Pirates of the Caribbean. It was severely windy outside.

This morning, as usual, the train went screaming by, losing no opportunity to blow the stupid whistle. >:/ (slightly disgruntled face).

That's all for now. I have to go file a newspaper, look in the limited fiction section, read a Spanish lecture, and not die of hunger by the time I leave the building at 9:50...

Well, well, well. What is with my entire family ( and those who claim they are from Zorg) writing cryptic nonsense at the bottom of their posts? It's alright, though. I'm compliant with cryptic. SO, in the interim when I don't post, I'm taking 75 question, + essay tests for sociology. That's awesome. I won't even go into all of the juicy details of the test because you would quickly become jealous of the eufunctions of society from a structural-functional framework, and the secondary analysis of everything under the sun. Today we had our acting midterm, and that was ok. I thought of a book that "Carlo" has, called,'I Went To College & It Was Okay.' ha ha ha

Anyway, I'm at work right now. Surprising, I know. Tonight I will be visiting with Rosie-o from 3-5. Devin gets a visit from her boyfriend, and I'm going swimming with the people from my dorm. (All of whom have varying levels of conflicting maturity and bozo-ism) ...

Last night Lindsey and I watched Medium , good show y'all, and ate pizza.

Today we are having a blood drive in the student union, and it's crappy because I would love to know I donated blood, but I cannot get past the needles!!! I talked to one of the nurses, and she said she didn't get around to it until she got married. So there, me.

That's all for now.

Blarrgh.

Blarrgh refers to the boredom of the job of mine. I have to go wash down tables in a tic... but I saw the illusive sister for a couple of minutes tonight when she stopped in on her way to work. Laters,

DON'T WORRY

yeah, don't worry, I try to keep walking and breathing, at the same time, to a minimum... and also I never chew gum and write at the same time; however, I am multitasking right now, because I'm thinking and writing at the same time.

I'm AT WORK!!! This morning, my alarm went off at 8:00, and then Devin dragged me to breakfast, 'cos I never know I'm hungry in the morning, until I actually see and smell the food. This is obviously not a problem any other time of the day, because right now writing about food, I'm dreaming about dinner. Aaahhh......

N E way, (I don't mean north-east) the whole group of us: Devin, Bryn, Ashley, Becky, Lindsey, Luke, Danny, Lee, & other random people all went swimming in the lovely pool in the fieldhouse. It has a diving board and is 11 ft. deep on that end. They also have the starting board/platformy thingys at the beginnings of the lanes. I do cannonballs (and the occasional strange dive) off of the diving board, meanwhile others dive and flip and leap and BellYfLoP off of it. Lots of 'water burn'. Now that's a damn oxymoron if I ever wrote one (water-burn). Sorry for the tasteless French.

Did you get my meaning? Well, there's always tomorrow.

In other news, when asked about Roe v. Wade, the President replied, "Just get outta N'Orleans however you can!".

Oh, yes, thanks Rosie, for reminding me of my second fall. I was walking to breakfast with Devin this morning, and in a particularly suave moment, I strolled into the stairs. Well, I was on the way up them, when I tripped, and proceeded to continue tripping as my amazonian feet hit each successive step in front. Who knew they were terraced?!!!

So, that's news for today. One of our RAs is putting on a fashion show tomorrow night, for people to enter. This makes sense, considering he actually knows how to destroy jeans!!! * So I'm getting out of work early to go to that. It should be a lot of fun, 'cos he's nice and is giving out prizes to the contestants. Forty dollar gift certificate to store of choice for first prize!!! I say, Crikey!!! I'm not entering, only watching. Yes, the Ra's gay, but you see, I'm taking the approach of the sociologist and instead of saying "Oh, yah, our Gay RA s puttin on a fashion show y'know. Ain't that just weird, y'know." I'm saying "our RA...". This illustrates the fact that putting people into categories creates a self-fulfilling prophecy by which no one benefits and nothing changes. I hope you don't feel like I'm preaching... 'cos I am. I had trouble with one line of text eating the other, so I couldn't write the quote properly. Ugh.

Innyhoo! Hope you all are well!!! It's supposed to get crazy cold this week, so get out yer snowmerbiles, hey.

Laters,

*(For those of us like myself who have jeans destroyed by life, 'destroying' means having tastefully worn parts and little holes, maybe a frayed edge here and a frayed edge there. This works especially well for those of us who live in Orange County, California and have nothing better to do than have a reality show called Laguna Beach. Incidentally, there is such a show, and it is completely useless. BUT they can wear their pre-destroyed jeans with pride knowing that tomorrow they can go buy a few more pairs and heaven forbid that they be *gasp* un-destroyed.. !! That's all. Adieu fer hoyta.

did you know?!!

Did you all know that (in the US) 50 million students speak over 100 different languages in around 100,000 various schools... and yet when one person of an ethnic backround that's unknown shows up... "oh crikey, they're different and creepy!!!"

I just don't personally understand.

I'm at work as I usually am when I write on this thing. So today I got poured on, and last night I went bowling and got figuratively poured on , seeing as how I had crappy scores. One was 101, which is OK, but that's all luck. Some people curve the ball in a ridiculous manner just to illustrate the lack of skills of the rest of us. Like everyone around me... Ashley and I both 'lost', actually.

What else... on Thursday, instead of going to acting class for CLASS, we're going to the Grand Theater for 'The King & I'. One dude from my class is in it.

That's all I know for now. Except I was trying to gracefully lower myself off of my loft bed this morning, and, being graceful, I of course couldn't land normally and fell on the 'jelly side of the toast' if you know what I mean. What I mean is that I sat down from a great height.

Will write more sooner, hey, but I don't know when der hey.
