Musical!

The results are in! Next years musical will be My Fair Lady! What do I think of this? Well...I'm not sure. I love My Fair Lady! Eliza is a to-die for role. Except for one problem. She's also the ONLY role. So, basically, I'm either the lead or chorus. There's nothing in between. Except for a couple of non-singing roles.

I'm also worried about our extreme lack of guys. This show needs a whole mess of really strong guys that we don't have. We have a couple of super-talented guys, but not enough. Also, they're all basses (at least, all of the ones I've ever heard sing). We don't have tenors in theatre.

I've been given a shopping list. I need to find a bunch of stuff. My main concern is shoes. She wants character shoes that are ankle-high and lace up. It's hard to find shoes in my size! I'm also worried about a plain straw hat. I've already been looking for one for Colin's birthday (he wanted one) and couldn't find one. So, now I REALLY need it and am no closer to finding it!

Anyway, I imagine I'm going to spend a lot of time over the summer polishing my Cockney accent. And my British accent. Gosh, after Christmas Carol I was like "YEAH! No more Cockney! w00t!" So...out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Even more picture fun!

Shortly after posting all those pictures, We ended up taking up almost an entire day taking more pictures. So, here are some of the highlights!

It all started when we started talking about what our weapon would be if we were assassins. Mine would be razor-lined cards. I'd say something like "Go fish" before tossing the weapons at my victims. After the deed was done I'd say "Here's my card" as one card fluttered softly to the floor. Then I'd disappear in a flurry of cards!

Colin would have an umbrella. The top and ends would be daggers. And he'd enter creepily like Mary Poppins. Before departing, he'd say, "I hope I didn't leave you feeling...under the weather"

Britta would have a scarf. It would have glass shards all throughout the fabric and the little fringies on the end would be little bits of sharp metal. She'd say, "Prepare to be 'scarved' for life!"



That's when I noticed how very green Britta looked. So, we started playing with the color recognition thing on Colin's camera.

We tried doing it with the blue that I was wearing...but it didn't work very well.



So, I went and found some other blue stuff.



Then we went and found red stuff for Colin. But we couldn't play with color recognition anymore because his camera died and we had to use mine.



Then we noticed how awesome an orange picture would be with Pickles. So, that's what we did!

It all just exploded from there.

All right, it's official.

I've decided on my future. I'm going to win American Idol, become rich and famous, star in any show on Broadway I want, become a fabulously wealthy author, and then maybe I'll buy a ferret.

But, seriously, it seems like a great idea to me.

More picture fun! w00t!

You wouldn't believe how magical the Coke factory is! It's like visiting Willy Wonka's chocolate factory! But with more accountants.

Another one of those freak theatre storms.

Um...creepy?

Think of all the stories that could lead up to this picture! It's inspiring!

Leap for joy!

Britta the bully

This picture = epic win

*PUNT*

Random picture fun!

Trying to make contact with our shadow friends

Being emo makes me happy!

Fun with Colin's camera

Me sitting on the ceiling. I have mad skillz like that.


Uuuh...blogger freaked when I tried to add more. I'll try again later...

Also, just out of curiosity, is anyone actually reading this blog? Because I feel like I'm talking to myself...not that I don't do that normally, just sometimes it's nice to know.

Video games! w00t!

Kay, so pretty much the purpose of an online blog is to spew about video games and the like. So, that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to spew about the most recent games I've been playing. Yay!

The World Ends With You

This game = epic
You can't argue with math.
The gameplay is smooth and, well, awesome. Incredibly hard. You see, you play as two characters at a time and you have to fight with them at the same time; one in the top screen, one in the bottom. So, you've got to keep track of what's happening in both screens at a time. It's pretty intense. The character design is (except for Shiki) awesome. I love Neku's headphones! The music is good, but does get a bit repetitive. Admittedly, sometimes there's too much dialog. There have been times when it felt like "Just let me fight!" as they were having their friendship speech. But all in all, I'm hooked. I've almost finished the game and can barely put it down to let the DS charge (but you even get points for putting it down!)

In the end, I give it 9/10

Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with friends

Man, what a weird game this is! Seriously, what the heck? It's just so...happy. All the time! I'm not exaggerating. Like, you completely mess a recipe up, end up with 0 points, and catch the pot on fire, and it STILL gives you a happy little message: "Not too bad!" The optimism drives me crazy. And the cooking makes no sense. "To stew this lobster correctly, blow on it!" I also keep unlocking things that I have no idea what to do with. I get items and presents and stuff. But I have yet to figure out where any of these items go or what I'm supposed to do with them. But it is entertaining to listen to the really thick Japanese accents in the English voices (I don't know why, but they recorded the English audio in Japan. So, the voices end up something like "Cuk-ing mama tu: Dinneaer wees fends!" and "Lesultsu" (results))
All in all, I give it 4/10

Mario Party DS

This game is pretty much what you'd expect from Mario Party. Boring, repetitive, and addicting. Nintendo should have given up on this whole series long ago. But, they continue to trudge on. If there's one thing we've learned from Nintendo, it's that they'll never back down. Ever. I blew through the single player mode no problem. It was super easy. Now I don't know what to do. Hopefully my friends will get it soon. Then maybe it'll be some fun.
At any rate, I give it a 6/10.

Mario Kart Wii

Mario Kart has always been one of my favorite series from Nintendo. It's just fun. That's all. My friends and I spend hours upon countless hours playing the DS version. So, I was pretty excited when this version came out! Still the Mario Kart we all know and love, but the Wiimote adds a new level of difficulty. See, you hold it like a steering wheel and actually steer! It's really fun! But one super stupid thing about it is drifting around corners and getting little boosts and such. You can put that on automatic. And even if it's on manual, you only have to hold one button to initiate it. How stupid is that?

I give it 7/10

Suddenly lacking...*tear*

So, late a few nights ago, something monumental happened. I dare you to guess what it was!
...
...
...
Okay, so I can't hear you guess. I'll just tell you. In the dead of night, a band of Ninja Mobsters struck through the back door and took all of our stuff so they could buy World of Warcraft credit.

It all started at, oh, eight in the morning. Mom came in and was like "Oh, I slept in. I'll take you over for second period." At this point I was like, "HECK YES!" especially since second period was free so I didn't have to go until lunch. So, I was sitting in bed, playing my DS, when suddenly mom comes in. "Do you have my laptop?" I felt like that was a silly question. If I had the laptop I would be ultimizing my ability to surf teh interwebz and play video games at the same time. "No..." I said, tearing Bowser to shreds. "We've been robbed." "Huh?" "We've been robbed."

Going downstairs, I discovered the muddy footprints and the open door. My Monk-like detective skillz kicked in suddenly. "This is not normal," they screamed. You see, Noi had washed the floor just last night and, as far as I could tell, she was able to remove most large muddy foot prints.

They took...well...pretty much everything. Two laptops, two wallets, two cell phones, GPS system, camera, camera lens, jewelry box. But you can tell they weren't very smart in that they left my Wii. Which is the awesomest thing in the house.

Luckily for them, they stayed clear of my room.
