Need to be Judged?
So last night I get a call from (e:mk) that she needs another judge for a highschool battle of the bands at Lancaster Highschool. Let me tell you, I dropped everything for the chance. It was like a dream come true. I felt like a celebrity all set up at my table with the score sheets and being served drinks and knowing these bands fate (well five hours of recording time in a proffessional studio) rested in my hands. Years from now if they become famous I could be on a VH1 special, being like yeah I judged them in their first battle of the bands which was really the beggining of their bright future. Without me they probably would have never made it.

So we went and except the fact that it was so freakin cold in the auditorium/cafeteria it was fun. We got to judge the bands on things such as tightness (at first, I thought, um what? do we personally test that out?, i guess it is a musical thing). overall sound, entertainment and other things. And then we could make comments, such as "I like your shirt but your music is stinky". or "wow your songs seemed to drag on but the crowd seemed to like them". Its hard for me to sometimes judge something as good if it isn't my style (aka just screming at the top of your lungs like a dying cat). Like if I don't like the music, it is hard for me to say it is good, but I did, I was very impartial.

I think the best part was all the free food. We got pizza, wegmans subs, chips, chococlate chip cookies and so much other good stuff.

Needless to say my favorite band won, so like whoa I know what I am doing. So now I kinda want to make a career out of judging talent/battle of the band concerts, anyone in need of a judge?

Isn't it kind of ironic that you don't really know anything about music.

It's Been A While
Oh my work has been kinda crazy. So busy. WE got more workers at a time and it is still crazy. I am so sick of people yelling at me at their top of their lungs but then apologizing like an hour later. How about you just don't yell in the first place.

Anyway, this post is actually about how I want to tape my soap opera this summer. I know I have said this before but I really want to do it this time. Anyone interested? I just need to update the script and make it a little more exciting I think. Well if anyone is interested, message me or e-mail me. I need all kinds of roles, both big and small so let me know what you're interested in. (e:southernyankee) and (e:twisted), how about you come in to B-lo to be in an (e:strip) soap opera?

Is this like a public-access-channel type deal? I'm pretty sure they'll let any anarchist, lunatic, or terrorist with a video camera get as much airtime as they want :::link::: .

Pending more info, you can count me in. Also (e:dragonlady7) knows somebody at work who's jonesing to do 'some kind of a tv show.'

"I'm ready for my closeup Mr. Deville!" oh wait, "Mr. Visco"; Just make sure your cameras minimize my pores, slim off 15, no wait 20 lbs and ensure my trailer is stocked with Pucci,Fiji, kiwi, whipped cream and hot men!

like i told you last year, yeppers! :)

I think we all know I would love be in it!
twisted - 05/17/06 23:33
Alas, I don't think I can swing a trip to B-lo this summer, although it's mighty tempting. Violent Femmes at the Square, Buzzcocks in TO, mansions galore, and the chance to make my screen debut in an (e:strip) daytime drama! (God knows I could use a career change, too, haha.) I can't wait to see it though.

Special Happy Mother's Day to Nonna, I miss you!

JJ's and Page7
So I have went to JJ's for only a few hockey games in the playoffs and always I go during the end of the third quarter. And THE SABRES ALWAYS WIN!!!! Tonight I am not going to JJ's, and tonight with only a few minutes left, they are losing, uh oh? Am I to blame?

Sidenote: (e:hodown)'s post made me nostalgic for the days of Page7 and all the gossip mongering.
hodown - 05/12/06 08:10
They love me, they really love me (think academy award acceptance speech) in referance to (e:pageseven).

No Cruising For Me Please
So my mom got free passes to see Poseidon at work the other day and so we went last night. First of all we had to sit in the second row at Regal which is way too close to the screen, especially for a movie like this where stuff is happening all over the screen. Secondly, a box of skittles that cost me $2 ( and is normally $3.75) had the amount of skittles of like a 50 cent bag. It was really insane.

Anywho the movie was very enjoyalbe. I never saw the original but this one was very entertaining I thought. Like cheesy and stuff but still really good and entertaining for the time it was on. OMG one scene with Richard Dryfuss and some other actor was crazy intense. I hope I am never in that situation. Well I kinda hope I am not in any of those situations.

Water that is on fire is scary. Fire is scary, drowning is scary, drowning in water that is on fire and burning you...too scary to imagine.

So anyway, that leads me to, I always had wanted to go on a cruise and evyerone I know who has went on one has loved them, and Diana was planning a "we have all been friends for 10 years cruise next year" but this movie terrifies me of it. Seriuosly you are out in the middle of nowhere if something happens. Yet all the food and drinks you can consume...that sounds mighty tasty....maybe it is worth the fire/drowning/sharks etc. ....

If you think you're scared of a cruise now, rent "Open Water" (if you haven't seen it). I was all about going scuba diving until I saw that movie.

I was expecting a cheesy horror movie and instead got the vacation brochure from hell. Very, very intense movie.

My better half id forcing me to go see Poseiden this weekend. I'm glad to hear it won't totally suck. (the original was really good, btw)

"Quick, grab my ankles!" Oh yea, that's it!" Richard Dryfuss...
