THINGS I HATE

Ha, ha, ha. Zac shared this with my brother on facebook and I decided everyone needed to see it. I wish more people were like this guy

Mind the language, though. If you or someone you're with doesn't want to hear swearing I suggest you don't watch it.

Oh! And also check out his video "Bipolar Weather Sandwiches".

Man this guy knows how to bitch.

Treat Your Musical Genitals

OK, so I've already shared this on facebook, but I feel the need to post it here too in order to ensure that everyone can experience the eargasm it shall inevitably give you. Supposing you're into electronic music and remixes, that is. It is so awesome. It is the remix of MGMT's "Electric Feel", and it outshines the original on so many levels. I don't even listen to the original any more because this is so very superior. It's all in the bass, ghosts. Bass is the backbone of music. Bass is what makes girls shake their booties.

And this song deserves to be on my list of the best songs I know.

Saturday and Sunday

Some good pictures of Saturday's rehearsal--see all of them on my facebook album "Hit the Stage! Finally!"

Just thought I'd share with you the end of our sound check on Sunday at rehearsal.

Clipper

Grocery store flower purchase

So many effing tomatoes! So effing cheap!

Flowers in the compost





I have a curious memory.

I don't want to say that I have a really great memory, because for things in the short-term such as remembering where I put my glasses or to put the garbage out or a blog I wanted to write I tend to have a rather terrible memory. You might even say I'm forgetful. However, when it comes to remembering things like dreams or random childhood moments or stubbing my toe on a rock int he dark so hard it bled rather a lot, I am more than able. Perhaps it is an indication of what I value, or perhaps I am just on the wagon, that is, the wagon of crazy.

For example, I can vividly remember certain dreams, such as the one where I am the only person who knows that the world has been taken over and during the day we are vegetables doing evil factory work and by night we return to our normal lives, thinking we had a regular day. Then they know I know and make me choose between killing myself or killing my loved ones, and then I am in a grocery store and I have to choose between saving parents or children and the evil people just end up putting me through all this ethically disturbing crap. I remember not only the gist of the dream, but little things, like that our supervisor in the factory was wearing a red and white and pink floral shirt and that I was sitting next to a Korean man with eighties glasses.

Then I physically see my water bottle in the freezer this morning and I still forget to bring it to rehearsal because I close the freezer to grab something else first.

The challenges of my life.

Oh, and this is "Ghosts and Stuff" by Deadmau5. It's awesome. Sorry the thing is too big, I didn't check the sizing.

You Are a Radar Detector!

Wow! Hello blogosphere! I miss you. I feel so bad about not blogging, but I can't help it. It's musical mania these days. However, rehearsal tonight was cancelled, so I have no excuse. Here are some pictures of musical mania:





Poster! Pretty snazzy I'd say.
Cast and orchestra for the cover of Collingwood Life magazine
Now there is a face you can love.
Shirt!

Chyeah.

I like the orchestra shirts the best because they say orchestra, and that is a mammoth and triumphant word, especially compared to cast or crew.

Anyway, this crazy musical business is why I haven't been blogging. When I'm not rehearsing I'm attempting to retain what is left of my social life/relationship, and that is proving harder than you might imagine. Oh, for those who don't know, I play Babette the slutty feather duster. It's mucho fun.

We have rehearsal until 9pm tomorrow and every day until two days before the show, although not all are until 9pm. Madness. And we're on the stage for the first time tomorrow! Exciting! We were supposed to be on stage tonight but there were some issues with the set which is why it was cancelled. I am going to be depressed when this is over. I won't go on though, I'm sure this is uninteresting. I don't have anything else to say besides.

I decided that Timbaland is really dumb-looking, particularly when singing/rapping, which is most of the time.

Oh! And listen, listen, listen to Darwin Deez. The first time I heard "Radar Detector" I knew I had found love all over again. Watch the music video for that song too. It is magnificent in excelsius (have I used that description before?). Also I have been digging the synthesized beats of Ke$ha, "Take it Off" in particular, as well as the ever-ridiculous but strangely addictive Black Eyed Peas "Imma Be".

Oh blogosphere, again I will say: I miss you. I will probably turn to you in my time of post-musical despair. For now, I bid thee farewell. Have an unusually fun Thursday, ghosts. Unusually fun Thursdays are what it's all about.
