Day 332/365 (July 16, 2009)

this is my clock, it puts time on the ceiling... the only way to see what time it is at night! In fact i am so used to loking up sometimes when people ask me what time it is my first instinct is to look at the ceiling, no matter where i am.

i got up and headed out to Broadway in Bryant Park... today The Little Mermaid, 9 to 5, Toxic Avenger, and Pure COuntry were performing. IT was a sunny day but i was armed with a bottle of water and a thing of sunscreen. I am so fearful of the sun and burning so i put more on like every thirty minutes and kept asking if my face was turning red! I was excited when i got there and saw Chris saving a bunch of seats so i joined him and he was very good company to have. the morning was lots of fun but really? OK so 9 to 5 was exciting but they only sang two songs (beautifully done) but why didn't they sing 9 to 5? I also think it is awesome allison janey came and did the park since some people are too diva to do it, however i wish her understudy had because i would love to hear the songs sung by three outstading vocalists.... i do love her acting dont get me wrong, but she just cant sing. pure country is supposedly coming to broadway in the spring, i dont like country so it wont be a show i will see (unless casting dictates otherwise) but the guy who performed had an incredible voice and was cute to boot! the girl had to read from the sheet music but sounded great.

Toxic Avenger, this was my first exposure to it and it seemed like it must be the fun musical everyone says it is but two of the songs sounded the same and some of the same lyrics so i was like huh? but the guy who co-wrote it and is part of Bon Jovi was there to introduce them, then joined in the last song towards the end and i was like oh i wish dawn were here. the other show that performed was the little mermaid... once again this year brian d'dario (spelling is wrong there) stole the show, there is no question in my mind that he has a bright career ahead of him i mean how many others are that professional and killer at such a young age? Let's talk Drew Seeley. i was excited to see him perform because um hello CUTIE! and he does have a nice voice... in the end he did sound amazing but i was so dissapointed because he sang the new popified version of her voice. yes it is a fun song, but in the musical Her Voice is one of the most beautiful songs and if that is what i was going to hear i would have wanted to hear the musical version not the pop version... and this is broadway in bryant park after all, not pop concert in bryant park! i understand reasoning behind it... i am sure disney spent a ton of money producing that one song so why not use it, but STILL!!!!

after it was over chris and i took a walk to the times square visitor center because he wanted to pick up a few of the show fliers and stuff and i was able to look in a mirror there and be reassured that i had not gotten sun burnt!

then i headed home and got some lunch, where i cut my gums on a peach pit, and there was blood and it hurt! it was a tame sort of day at this point, though i did a bunch of dishes. WHen krysta came home she cooked us a truly scrumptious dinner and we had a yummy dessert of brownies and ice cream. Eventually i got ready and headed out to TOL for some karaoke.

the nights was lots of fun and it was very exciting to have had some many friends there at one point or another. Kim, Susie, and Jo were there when i arrived and shortly thereafter Joey turned up. Before the night ended Andrew had even popped in! (and a few others). The night was filled with lots of karaoke from me... best part is i made it through the night without singing any britney spears even if there were protests about that. it was just a fun and lovely night :D Kim and i walked to the subway together and then i went home and fell asleep!

Day 331/365 (July 15, 2009)

oh my it was a busy day! i woke up early and rushed the little mermaid for michelle, i chatted with a very nice girl, unfortunately i didn't realize she was just in high school until it was just about BO open time when i had mentioned something and she was like oh no, i am only in high school, so she waited for nothing! i was surprised at how many people ended in line. i was first but the line went quite far down the theater shortly after i got there! i doubt most were rushing and the others were looking to buy regular tickets based on the demographic not looking very collegiate!

then i rushed home and cleaned myself up a bit and headed out to finally watch a Seth" Sirius XM Broadcast because Emma Hunton was going to perform and promote her Joe's Pub Gig... it was standing room only by the time i got there (boo) but i stuck it out and she played Whispering while playing on the guitar and it was beautifully done! i felt bad not staying through the rest of the show but i had stuff to do, so when she was all done i just left. PS Seth was away on the Rosie Cruise and the person who filled in for him was not very good. she had a lovely voice when she sang, but she just wasnt engaging and that made me sad.

I headed to the cake distributor store emily told me about a while ago that i have used rather frequently for awesomeness. I bought the chocolate i need to make Satan's Balls for Michelle, then i headed back towards home. i went to Path Mark to get a few other needed supplies, most importantly the Red Velvet Cake mix... unfortunately i couldn't find it... which sucks becuase between Path Mark, the grocery store across our street, and the little stores around the neighborhood i have been unable to find it! so i will try a few places in midtown in the hopes of finding later, and then go to 14th street if i have to since i know i saw it in one of the stores around there when i was puppy sitting for kim! While i waited in the longest line ever! (my wort line experience there by far... i mean i listened to the entire tarzan cast album while in the store and i didnt listen to it for that long before i got in line! anywho in front of me was this 6 month old little boy and he took a liking to me, so i would make funny faces, or play peek a boo with him while passing the time. it was super cute and if i would stop for too long he would start to get cranky. then when we finally got to the cash register his mom had pushed him through to load the stuff on the belt blocking me from view and he started to cry, she moved out of the way and as soon as he saw me he started to giggle... i felt so loved because well little kids love me without much effort on my part!

anywho then i came home and it was a good thing i set an alarm to remind me when to leave so i wouldnt be late meeting michelle because i ended up falling asleep for like two hours and when i woke up i was s disoriented... like i didnt know what day it was and couldnt remember what i was supposed to be leaving for... then karolina called me and well she had to put up with my what in the worldness and  and asked if i would join her that night... turns out karen couldn't make it to harry potter and the half-blood prince so i went in her place. i finally snapped to at 72nd street... whilst i was sleeping i had a nightmare that the chocolate i had bought and placed in the fridge was not supposed to go in there and it almost got ruined so i freaked a little and had krysta check the package since i had forgotten to before i had left in my disoriented state.

had a lovely time with michelle chatting about the past two weeks and eating at chipotle, then i headed over to the movie theater which was freaking on 32nd and 2nd ave... so far away!

i didnt really like the movie but it was nice seeing it with karolina and david. i felt the movie was way too rushed, and they didnt explain certain things so if you hadnt read the book you would be clueless. they also changed things that were unnecessary and added random things. i thought it was well acted for the most part, i didnt like slughorn, or the littlest voldemort. the teenage voldemort i thought was pretty good, i would have enjoyed you know who more, but he is definitely way too old for it. i think the thing that disappointed me most was that they didnt do the whole dumbledore tells harry that he knew he would be fine because he was with him thing. it was such a sweet powerful moment in the book and wasted by not being in the film. eh oh well at least i can picture things in my mind. I mean most of the people that used to be important in it were just glorified extras... longbottom anyone? and a few others and the billing at the end... i understand that the people are more seasoned performers and had larger parts in the other movies but tom felton certainly deserved to be higher up and listed individually!

then i headed home and found a puddle off pee on my floor from tucker and poo on my bed from emma... i was not pleased in the slightest!

Day 309/365 (June 23, 2009)

oh the day... so anywho i only got three hours of sleep (ok not quite that much but rounding up) before i had to get up and go do the rush for next to normal. i headed out and met mark there and we waited until 10 to buy our tickets. it was not as much fun as last time since we didnt have a ton of other people we were being all chummy with, but it was nice having the company.

krysta brought tucker to the rush line before heading to work and he attacked her poor skirt/shirt pretty badly, but she was able to sew it up on the spot... and then he did it again! everyone seemed to love him (of course) then we went home... i took a nap! i woke up with really cold feet since i was hot when lying down and didnt get under the covers and by having a dream that flies were biting me and i was bleeding because of it. obviously flies werent actually biting me, but man oh man i was itchy for a little while after because of the dream!

i ended up with another nap at some point and some quality time with emma and tucker, then i brought tucker to meet krysta at josh's. i was quite pleased at myself for even remembering his apartment number on my own! then i stopped for a 99 cent slice of pizza before going to the theater. i met up again with mark, his friend jess (i think is her name), and diane.

the show was really quite good and i had lots of fun even if i am emotionally dead inside. we had a nice little chat with kyle dean after then we all went our separate ways. i got home and chatted with krysta for a bit and down loaded drew seeley's new version of her voice from the little mermaid.... it sounds quite awesome and pretty and i dig it as a stand alone song, but i cant wait to hear him sing the actual version of it in the show when i go to see it. that song is just so beautifully written!

i also have been really into reading my book Angel's Tip... so good!

Day 198/365 (March 4, 2009)

March 4th was a great day! It started with me getting up on the early side to go help Sasha and Jenny get The Little Mermaid tickets since their student ticket policy is lame and only one per ID, and Jenny doesn't have one.

I ran into KD at 72nd St while transferring and was glad i didn't look like a crazy person this time, then when i got to the theatre Matthew and Todd had walked with Sasha on their way to an audition. I had never met Todd before and he was pretty fab :D

 We got the tickets (ended up getting front row center... too bad i wasnt seeing it) and then went back to Sasha's. I played on Rex (computer) for a bit until Jenny got there and i met her puppy Cashew. He came into the city for a doggie birthday party. He was so cute and we all loved him lots... Matthew and him didnt get along so well at first but once he conquered his fear they became besties as seen above. Todd pretended that Cashew was an understudy for Bruiser Woods and did a lovely scene from Legally Blonde... hilarious!

Then eventually Sasha, Jenny, Cashew, and myself headed down to South Street Seaport to drop Cashew off at the party. There were so many adorable dogs there... they were all so timy and happy and cute and many kept walkig on two legs they were so excited. There was even a mini dalmation which i didnt know existed. There were so many doggies clothes including some st. patrick's day themed ones that made me want a dog so i could i buy them for it.

The we headed to the Life Cafe to get some lunch... the food took forever to come but it was so yummy! Then we headed back uptown and Sasha and Jenny went to mermaid, and i went home to watch High School Musical 3 which Sasha let me borrow and i liked it lots.
