Tick Tick ...BOOM!

I really like the musical Tick Tick Boom it is by the guy who did Rent but like it came out after his death but was something he was working on and they put it together after he died. The basic story is like this guy is turning 30 and hasn't created the successful/dream musical of his dreams and doesn't know if he should give up or keep going for his dreams. There were only 3 actors in it. Me and (e:mk) saw it a few years ago at Musical Fare theater and i really liked it and so we went to see Niagara University put it on in Lewiston on Sunday. It was different cuz they had like 12 people instead of 3 and did it differently but it was still good. But i relaly love the soundtrack.
It's a little weird cuz the girl and guy don't end up together in th eend which you would think I would hate, cuz I am a fairy tale believer til the end and always want happily ever afters but it is still good. Though i ugess in some ways depressing but in some ways uplitfting. I tend to listen to it whne I am in a bad mood but it is uplifting but kinda sad too. Ok not sure about any of that. Anywho, It's good and in the performance we saw the girl had the most awesome green dress I ever saw!!!!

I was trying to find some clips on youtube but they are mostly really shoddy productions by who knows what performance groups so this is the best of what I could find of the orignal cast performing to post
.

Afterwards we walked around Lewiston, a little bit artpark and went to the something something for dinner. I can't remember the name. it was with a B. Brickyard perhaps? They have bbq and it was really good, I had ribs and pulled pork and beef brisket and mac and cheese and french fries and that makes me osund fat but I gave (e:mk) my corn bread so that makes it ok right? All in all a lgreat day!

84982 minutes

That is how many minutes until 2010. 2009 is flying by but I am hugely optimistic about 2010. It seems totally arbitrary I know to think things will change cuz a year changes but I am cautiously optimistic, i tihnk i described myself as hugely optimstic like one sentence ago, thats quite a big drop to cautiously pretty quick but I am optimistic none the less. Hoping for change both for me and for others. Only two months til then, and this ants got

High hopes, he's got high hopes, he's got high apple pie in the skkkkyy hopes, so anytime you're felling sad just remember that ant, whoops there goes another rubber tree plant.

Pam Anderson's little fashion slave...

Have you guys heard the latest about Pam Anderson. I guess at the style awards she had her make up artists daughter come with her to hold the train on her dress up. That was the whole purpose of the girl being there the whole night. You could say oh sure that girl prolly loved it cuz she at least got to be there and stuff. BUT NO THEY DIDN"T EVEN GET HER A CHAIR! She had to sit on the floor at Pamela's feet the whole time. I guess this is stirring up quite the controversy in hollywood ...

here's a pic

Halloween Halloween ...what to be

As always at this time of year I start to fret about what I am going to be for halloween only to wait utnil the last minute to decide and make it with pure shoddiness and lot of duct tape and safety pins. The best laid plans always get pushed to the side for the last minute "great idea". My only 2 real requirements usually are that involves short shorts and glitter...we'll see what comes up this year! i love thking about it though. So many fun ideas so few days a year to wear costumes

Wll Whitney Be Back?

So Whitney released her new album on my birthday which seemed like a good sign for me and for Whit, like I really want her to come back and wow the world. But sadly this first single is just really not memorable/danceable/or that good. It makes me sad cuz I really thought she was gonna come back from her cracked out/whacked out/bobby brown loving/craziness and be a huge star again. I was starting to doubt that but then I was cleaning out Nonna's attic with (e:paul) and my mom the other day and saw tihs on the cover of one of the 8,000 issues of Famiglia Cristiana that my grandparents saved and figured its a sign she is back. The weird part of many of these magazines is I swear that the person the cover is not actually in any story in the magazine. I know i dopn't really read italian that well but i should be able to tell if any of the stories mention Whitney Houston and I swear they did not. This is not an isolated case. I swear they just put anything on the cover even if there is no story about it. Well here is her cover, and here's hoping she is on her way back!

Roosters Can't Get Gay Married

Is this for real? What do you think? Unfortunately I think it is prolly serious!

tinypliny writes at 12:44:31 09/23/09 - Comment #51624: AHA! Just solved the personal vicious-cycle mystery of why I liked the tune so much but cringed at the content - and then hated the fact that the tune was so catchy!

This reminds me of the genius that is Chris Thile! :::link:::

Wow. Now I can purely hate this because Chris Thile is AWESOMENESS EXPONENTIATED compared to this trash!

Yeah, you can point fingers and wonder whether I escaped from the loony bin now. :-)

ladycroft writes at 02:57:03 09/19/09 - Comment #51565: wow - where did you find that gem? i'm sure it's some bible belt preacher and his wife.

james writes at 11:59:58 09/19/09 - Comment #51554: An odd thing about the paleolithic right is that their beliefs are so strange, their logic so flawed, their distance from reality so great that actual belief is almost indistinguishable from parody.

tinypliny writes at 11:09:56 09/19/09 - Comment #51553: Not to mention its got insularity and boorishness bannered all over it.

tinypliny writes at 11:08:11 09/19/09 - Comment #51552: This is ridiculous. The concept of "marriage" is a cultural construct. Equating or contrasting it with a biological construct of reproduction is quite silly.

Its a nice catchy tune, but that doesn't make it worthwhile.

metalpeter writes at 11:06:33 09/19/09 - Comment #51551: I think it is very real. It is kinda based of the saying (yes I have heard it many times) "God Made Adam & Eve not Adam and Steve". It does seem to follow the same thought pattern and they even end the song by saying something along the lines of I don't care what you say it isn't normal or something like that.
