So last night I went to see Jane Monheit. If you've never heard of her, first of all you're lucky. Second of all, she's a jazz singer who is fairly popular. She has a couple albums and performs in Manhattan a lot. We saw her in Jamestown and we were pretty excited.

I will take this opportunity to invite everyone on Earth to NEVER buy anything that might possibly give her money and NEVER EVER go see her in concert. It was the most disappointing, ridiculous concert I've ever been to. True, she has a nice voice...good singer. But last time I checked, having a pleasant voice didn't make you the greatest person to ever walk the planet. And I truly believe she felt this way.

What bothered me most is that the whole thing was all an act. She was so fake. Everything was fake. During every song there was an opportunity for one of the band members to solo (badly) and she would take this opportunity to shake her hips, dry hump the piano, run her hands through her hair, toss her head back like she was having a you-know-what, make all these faces like the music was really moving her...and it was so obnoxious. I almost felt like it was borderline inappropriate.

And the way she talked to the crowd...oh it was just so phony. Even the band was terrible. They were just competing with each other - no chemistry at all.

It was such a disappointing concert. Never even think about seeing her or recommending her to someone. I feel really bad for the people in the audience who thought it was a great musical experience because it was all so cheesy and fake and DUUUUMMMMBBBB!!!!!

True Story...

An elderly Florida lady did her shopping, and upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun,proceeding to scream at the top of her voice, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!"

The four men didn't wait for a second invitation. They got out and ran like mad.

The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into driver's seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried, and then it dawned on her why.

A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the Police station. The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't stop laughing. He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun. No charges were filed.

Missing Image ;(

Happy Easter to everyone.

Pardon the fact that I'm nude in the picture and I look slightly evil and/or deranged. Also take note of the random bunny with an unintentional unibrow.

I am going to eat sooooo much candy over the next 2 days...I can feel it...apologies to my pants now. And for people who have to see me in them... =P

MALL TOMORROW YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Hmm that thing is really fun...

...except I thought I had two eyes when I drew it...

yay for more distractions!

=0)

Jill I completely agree with your no offense entry. I myself have thought the same thing.

Maidenform bras are excellent. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I find I have so little to write about lately. Therefore I'm going to entertain you with pictures of a cute dog. Taken with my handy new little phone.

p.s. I love Tropicana Pink Lemonade.

This Sunday at 4, the Chamber Singers will take the stage of King Concert Hall. Everyone should go! We have sang this music like 12938735928375 times and we are good. So if you are reading this, I better see you on Sunday!

Anyone see "Secret Window"...the new Johnny Depp movie? I saw it last week....not a big fan but everyone else liked it. I don't know, something about it...mmm but Johnny was as amazing as ever. I guess I'd recommend it.

Welp that's all. I love contradancing.

p.s. I can't stand my stupid conducting class any longer. Just thought I'd mention that. I dread it every MWF. 9 am. AHHH.

Yes the big birthday has come and gone. And ohhh how crazy it was.

Well it didn't start out crazy. Chris took me out to dinner in Little Italy on Saturday night and we walked around the park after that. Ahhh lots of fun. I was in Grenwich Village at midnight on the 28th. We were looking for this random place and just never found it. Then I intended on getting a couple of drinks at the bar in our hotel but it was closed! At like 12:30 on a Saturday!!! How wacko. So instead we went to see a movie...the new Jim Carrey movie. It was good, but don't go see it at 1 am because we were a bit sleepy.

Then I spent almost the whole day in a van driving back to Freddy. Of course I didn't let any one forget what day it was. Then we got back and I went out with the family to Applebee's where I ordered two mudslides. I think my waitress was more excited about my birthday than me. I also got a cell phone for my bday :0) :0) The parentals broke down and got a family plan! I'm catching up with the world of modern technology.

Sooo then me and Chris and Julie went out on the town. Needless to say it was pretty empty downtown. We began with my birthday drink at BJ's, where the birthday girl or guy holds a sparkler while drinking this big drink and obviously they have to finish before the sparkler goes out. Okay it was so good I probably could have drank like three in that time period. Mmmmm....haha dangerous. Then we proceeded to a couple other bars. In total, I had three birthday drinks at three different bars, which probably have at least 3 shots in them, plus half of a blue whale (??), plus um four other shots. HAHAHAHAAAAA....and the wierdest part was it didn't even hit me until the last bar and then WOOOO....the night ended in some sicky vicky time. Julie and Chris are absolutely amazing for taking care of me cuz hahaha wow i was a handful.

Hmm I just found out that I have to teach a lesson tomorrow that I just didn't know about haha. Nice! Okay I have class now. Thanks for my birthday posts. :0)

Can I just say this website gets cooler and cooler every time I go to it? I remember back in the old days when I made myself a fancy banner, and entries were so hard to read because there was no paragraph breaks. We sure have come a long way!

Tomorrow the Chamber Singers depart for tour. Therefore there probably won't be much St. Patrick's Daying. Happy Birthday Jill!!!! Everyone copy and paste that last sentence and put it in your journal please.

Got to see Mike and Jill this weekend, first time in so long. =0)

OH AND DIANA WHAT IS THIS AWAY MESSAGE ABOUT AN EPISODE OF SAVED BY THE BELL YOU'VE NEVER SEEN?! How is that possible?! I thought everyone had seen every episode at least 73 times? No?

Last but not least...

...

...well I can't think of a way to end this...

...

...I love the fishes 'cuz they're so delicious.

Ahhh...save Zoar Valley everyone! True I have only been there once but it was a lot of fun and I've been wanting to back this summer soooo...um save it.

I haven't updated in so long...nothing really to say. I will be home this weekend and will hopefully be able to hang out with some crazy folk on Friday night. True I will accept any crazy folk, but some by the name of Jill Mike or Teres would be given first priority.
