In Which Kat Expresses Her Feelings With Terry Pratchett Novels, Neil Gaiman Novels, And A Manga Of An Anime Movie By Miyazaki. Got That? Oh, Good.

It was a depressing day at the Opera. Kat was lying on her back on a bunk bed, which had spontaneously appeared because she wanted to kick at the ceiling, kicking at the ceiling. On the level below her, Gabe and Max were playing Parcheesi. Ben and David were off somewhere chasing each other and wreaking havoc. Spencer and Julian were in a corner plotting the next game of Alaskan basketball. Mickey was in New York seeing Sweeney Todd, the lucky little brat. But on the whole, it was a terribly depressing scene, in that special way that days during winter break have. Drab sky, drab earth, drab everything, and you're almost looking forward to getting back to school and Mr. M's vocab lists. (No amount, however, of depressing days can make one wish one of Mr. C's tests on oneself.) Mizamour was the only one who could manage to be cheerful.

Could nothing save them now?

Let us examine that question.

Better yet, let us let Kat, Gabe, and Max examine that question.

"Can nothing save us now?" Kat asked.

"Yes!" Gabe replied promptly.

"What?"

"That switch!"

"Where?"

"Right there - oh no, that's a rock shaped like Wally Boag. Sorry. Only fooling. We're doomed after all."

"Oh."

Silence.

"Question."

"I'll take anything."

"What exactly is going to kill us? What threat is there?"

Kat used her left Doc Marten to scuff a rather long black mark on the ceiling. "Winter break. Boredom. Lack of things to do. Half sanity. Insomnia."

"I see."

For a long time, nothing happened.

Nothing continued to happen.

Douglas Adams sued them for usage of his line. Kat ran for interim President of Brazil, lost, and learned to cartwheel.

"Calm down, Kat," said Ben, walking in.

"What the hell happened to your head?" There was a large blue ink stain spreading over Ben's forehead.

"Well, David stabbed me with a ballpoint pen, and there were no doctors nearby, and. . .oh, never mind. I bring great news."

"You've got an idea for something to do?" Gabe thought, out loud, and wishfully.

"No. Sweeney Todd and Edward Scissorhands are standing right outside the door."

okay sorry i didnt read the blog just now..i have more exciting news!
i saw sweeney todd...it was soo bad. i've never been so bored in my life....okay pride and predjudice was way worse..but this was soooo booooring

after sweeney todd,, i ran over to the wicked stage door to possibly catch shoshana bean or megan hilty, but i didnt bring the pictures of them that i printed out on gloss paper for them to shine, becuz i had just seen sweeney todd,...wow long run-on..

anyhoo i thought that maybe i could get a picture of me with the cast ppl. these people were videoing shoshana, and she was like putting her hand up and saying "no,no thats annoying," in a goofy way, so i felt kind of uncomfortable asking for a picture after that. but then megan came out...she is so galinday, and short, and blond..its so funny. and i asked for apicture with her, and i got one! and it was raining, so my hair looked horrible. i'll post a picture on my blog.

i saw michelle federer, the nessarose who has been in wicked since the very beginning with idina and kristen. also saw david ayers, who has like streaky hair..ya....

okay! now to read the blog

Alaskan Baseball gets boaring...and my mind wanders...

OREGON TRAIL ROLEPLAY TIME!!

That sounds like fun. Let's all be a covered wagon party. We set out from Independance...and I elect to die of dysentery one day into the journey. That was fast.

Now you weep over my grave while a conveniently located cayote howls right next to you. Yes, I've been playing the original Oregon Trail. Still the best game ever.

No seriously, let's covered wagon roleplay. That didn't make gramatical sense. It's real easy, just die of Gold Rush-era diseases. Y'know, 'cause that's all that people did back then.

Quick reference:
-Dysentery
-Cholera
-Typhoid
-Snake byte
-Broken leg
-Exhaustion

The bottom three are diseases according to the game...

And as a final note, I once finished an Oregon Trail game with no casualties, dispite my main character getting dysentery, cholera, typhoid, broken leg, and exhaustion.

so i have to write a repot on a concert band thingy, but i think i am just going to use sweeney todd. i'm sure he'll let me. there was a claranetist.....who died. as a matter of fact, most of the people died at the end anyways...lo. i now have a new fear of tall, pale, bald people...yea. i mean seriously..this play is about people who say they cut hair, but really kill people, and but people's bodies in PIES!

Oh hey, Maxwell's a doctor.

"Can ya cure my of the dysentery, doc?"

Then you'd have to make a dice roll based on your skill, my constitution, and the severity of the issue. But frankly I don't care, LET'S DO THIS.`

Nurse Sam Taggart: "Men only think about three things: food, sports and sex. Dogs are more mysterious."

I think they stole this quote from Kat.

i just saw rent...
and bought this little book thingy type thing about rent..not the playbill, but i read in it that JONATHAN LARSON WANTED MARK TO WIN MAUREEN BACK!....urgh that stupid director.
mark cohen was discusting..he was like humping the table when he said "mucho masturabion"....but i thought it was cute when maureen was on the phone with joanne, and he was like videoing her ass...that was so funny....and maureen was wearing jeans during over the moon! no! thats not okay! and maureen is not blonde! no! she's not! it was a maureen understudy. but take me or leave me was amazing....its just that in over the moon, when maureen is supposed ot say "it's like i'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck being pack in with fertilizer" and cross her arms over her chest, while bending over and stuff, she was like moving her arms, and did the bending over during "gotta gotta gotta gotta." yaaa
and in la vie boheme B, angle says "rhythm, feeling,power, harmony, and heavy competitio," it is different than the movie. in the movie, its "rhythm,power,feeling,harmony, and heavy competition"...
no one may replace jesse l. martin. no one.
joanne was good.....benny was good...mimi was good...roger was great
la vie boheme.....haha
contact was so funny.... my mom was talking about how "raunchy" it was, but i think she's the immature one here.
i got mark, roger, and mimi's autographs....
when people were asking for pictures with the roger, they were like "1,2,3" (no flash) then roger dude is all "4,5,6" IT WAS funny

There is a short film plot bunny in my head for this.

It involves ballroom dancing in a tiny room full of mirrors.

"Miss April May, you were tapping the victom."

It's from a game, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney. Best lawer game ever.

As opposed to, you know, the millions of lawyer games out there?

 
At 6/1/06 9:27 PM, Blogger Moose said...

i said no rachel!
i am like crying right now
i just saw shoshana bean and megan hilty in wicked..
i went to stage door afterwards, and got the autogrpaphs of david ayers(AKA Fiyero) and megan hlity (Galinda). My mom was pointing at shoshana, and telling me that she was right in front of me, but i couldnt see her face, and insisted that it wasnt her. I finally walked over, when she was signing for two little girls. she said right in front of me "that's it..1 (signs) 2 (signs) i'm done!" i was so sad, i didnt get hers....but i am sending a picture for her to sign this minute...i am writing her a nice little letter too......
this is insane...i was just looking for army pants and a fuzzy jacket...:(
this is even more unbelievable. i aksed to take a picture with the fiyero, and he said yes, and it was really cool...my mom took the picture, and then later i asked to see it..and you know what? her camera just ran out of picture space.....it was insane.

I feel like writing a fanfic, but I don't know what about.

It has to be badly emotional...and feature some alternate future...and be badly written...hmm...

Transformers! What if Optimus Prime was Megatron's long-lost brother? Oh yes, that'd be great...

Spencer, stop. STOP. You're making me want to write that, despite the fact that I know nothing about the Transformers fandom.
