Day 299/365 (June 13, 2009)

got in late from mostly sondheim... and didnt sleep until 6! then i got up at like 11 or 12 and got ready... i begun my journey to new rochelle and it was raining!

this is a picture of dance your a** off with marissa jaret winokur... i took it because her fb status had asked if someone could snap a picture of one if they saw it... so i did :D

it was nice to get to new rochelle and see my cousins.

i also baked brownies with them.

Day 298/365 (June 12, 2009)

day was pretty basic... except no tucker because krysta had him in jersey... so it was just me, him, and emma... we napped a little all three together (rock on!) and finally i headed out. pip and i went to times square and blew bubbles for a bit with everyone else who was doing it (so cool!) then we went and helped out cheryl and jake at the rock of ages lotto... then we went back to pip's home... i was really quite sad to give him back since he was so much fun!

anywho then we all hung out with sasha, marty, and fred! we played some hardcore wii (super mariokart) and i just had a lot of fun, then i headed out to mostly sondheim. there were so many people there and i was irked because i kept getting hit and having to get up for a girl to go in and out of her seat. but it was another night of fabulous music and entertainment that ended earlier than usual... and besides a seasons of love sing along we had a la vie boheme a sing along... thou that was mostly me, brian, and Dom. then i went home!

Day 297/365 (June 11, 2009)

so the day was pretty good, tucker, emma, pip, and i all hung out... we went on walks (well not emma) and they played so beautifully together... pip is pretty strong and beat tucker at tug of war by pulling him across the floor repeatedly.

unfortunately this ast week was one of tamra loses everything and i couldnt find my metrocard and it really pushed me over the edge of life and was upset  i couldnt go to karaoke that night with kim and susie. i did end up finding it quite sometime later wedge between the kitchen table and wall... really? destroyed my life just a bit! i ended up watching lots of tv of course and i dont remember what else but i was having so much fun with mr. pip and i loved the bed he had made for himself in my room.

oh yea pip and i took tucker to meet krysta at penn since she was taking him to jersey... yea i am really too pro at two dogs on the subway!

Day 296/365 (June 10, 2009)

the nigth before sasha asked if i could watch pip for a few days... of course i said yes! well after my crazy lack of sleep from my rushing endeavor the day before and my typical lack of sleep anyway i couldnt wait to go home and get in bed... pip is a quiet puppy... no real barking... until he gets to my place i guess! he and tucker spent the whole night barking at each other and i didnt really get any sleep. they were barking while playing, then barking when we seperated them, then barking to bark... i yi yi yi yi!

and he would bark every time someone would pass by our door since i think he was trying to protect us. i still love him though! anywho pip, tucker, and myself went to help tracey with hair lotto. we lost (i am pro at taking two dogs on the subway!) then the three of us set off to the dog park for a bit... it was quite the walk at that point and it was CLOSED when we got there for something! i was so aggrivated, then we started walking to the 72nd st subway but jordan asked if i could meet her outside of the barrymore theatre to give her the lotto money... so we headed there... did that and finally headed back home... by the time we got back the dogs had walked about 41 streets and 8 aves worth! and i got stopped lots because of their cuteness. originally i was offered a 12th ight ticket but i had to say no because after the nigth before i knew i couldnt leave the Pip alone... its ok i needed the sleep!

but we had a really fun and good night together and although emma is not a fan of other animals, she actually would let pip sniff her! (Actually by the time i took him home, she would even come up and sniff him... yes pip has an awesome personality!)

Day 295/365 (June 9, 2009)

tuesday was an incredibly amazing, fun, and LONG day! i ended up sleeping for 30 minutes outside the booth theatre and then only 45 minutes at home. Mark and i rushed from 10:30 pm monday night until 10 am tuesday morning. it had tremendous rain, thunder that set off car alarms, frigid winds (that turned me into a superhero, and awesome new friends. i met this new person Joe and well he was so freaking awesome, and jake and tracey were also in the line, sasha swung by with pip at one point and i dont think i actually ever left the rush line except after they handed out the bracelets i took a tiny bathroom break! (jordan even stopped by for a bit) it really was lots of fun and we played a game of UNO and i kicked butt!

it was all for me to see Kyle Dean's first night in next to normal and it was worth it! after we left i went home and baked cookies for him and stuff, had my little nap, showered after the crazy long night, then met mark at build-a-bear to help him make a bear for kyle dean. i also scouted out the finishing stuff for the abe bear from last year's AA Day scavenger hunt. then we headed to the amrriot and put the bear's clothes on and stuff, got some food, then met with michelle at the theatre. it turns out Alice Ripley was sick so her understudy was going on and a bazillion people got refunds for their tickets including some of the people who had camped out overnight with us and i was like wow that is crazy! and sasha got one of our extra tickets but got hers refunded so joe ended up sitting next to me for the show and that was fun.

Kyle Dean did such an incredible job and i know it sounds weird but i was so terribly proud of him. i have seen him grow as a performer over the last three years and this really was amazing, he finally is able to show the rest of the theatre community how freaking amazing he is on a nightly basis. best part? i actually like this show so it wont be painful to sit through and watch it many times! (though i did love xanadu by the end) he played Gabe so well and well i just cant say enough ... yea and all the people who freaked and got their tickets refunded? you missed an incredible show i thought Jessica was leaps better than Alice Ripley (yea i said it) her voice was so pure and her acting choices made me appreciate the character more... jessica phillips is amazing!

special thanks to tracey for helping unwrap all my reese's for the cookies and jake who was in line with us

Day 294/365 (June 8, 2009)

i watched tucker, i went to open mic night at TOL, i got there early to help raise money for a walk, i drank something called Purple People Eater... it was yum! i also got my stuff together to get ready to rush next to normal. i got there at 10:30 and two minutes later two other girls showed up... turns out one of them is the cousin of one of my LJ/ALtarholic friends... such a small world huh?

anywho mark and i rocked rushing... more on that on tuesdays entry

Day 293/365 (June 7, 2009)

i woke up and cleaned my room hardcore! i also bought the final supplies for making of the cake, and bought some drinks and chips for the party. then i waged war! i made the rice krispy treats for the medallion and then the rest for us to just eat. i cut the cake and frosted it. I wrapped the wire in super awesome gold ribbon and when the rice krispy was hard enough i wrapped the ribbon over the parts of the dowel that would be exposed. then i frosted the treat and sprinkled the glitter sugar on it, and then after it refrigerated to firm it up i used the glitter gel to do the details... then i waited. ps i succeeded greatly because my bad boy cake never actually fell over! it did fall apart because the rice krispy treat medallion broke in half after 25 minutes (it got real hot and i think the marshmallow in the treat loosened up and SPLIT!). but i said i would be happy if it lasted at least 5 minutes and it surpassed that greatly!

i did so many dishes throughout the course of the day to keep the place clean and watched lots of tv until our guest arrived. we ended up with so much food and we ate a lot! there was amazing fruit (watermelon especially) and veggies and chips with onion dip, and raspberry iced tea, and i dont know what it was but fruit on some spongy thing with ice cream, and duh rice krispy treats, and my cake!

sasha, amelia, and her roommate nicole came to celebrate. we watched the TONY's which was pretty not great... the performances were weird (especially the opening number) and the sound was terrible, as in someone wont be working this event next year! billy elliot took almost every thing they were nominated for which was so freaking wrong! no way should the three billys have one best actor in a musical! and sieber lost best featured actor... CRIMINAL he is the best part of shrek and just embodies the character so well, not to mention the psychical aspect of it. Neil patrick harris did a great job hosting,t oo bad they didnt let him onstage/screen more!

anywho after the show ended krysta and i did a quick cleanup and i didnt go to bed because i am a fool, but i caught up on the last four days worth of blogs!
