My dad scored us some free HBO so I've been watching movies that I've missed that, like, everyone else saw two years ago.

Watched The Dark Knight, Juno, X-Files: I Want To Believe, about half of Knocked up, various chunks of Meet The Spartians and, like, 20 random mins of Burn After Reading. ( Feeling bitchy ways about movies. )

I also tried to watch True Blood... but it just seemed like everyone was making out all the time.

( tl;dr - Moaning about being stuck with what to do with the rest of my life. )

Anyway, I'm thinking about applying to the Smithsonian Craft Show. $50 to apply and at least $1250 for a booth. Pricey.
And the thing always is about the pictures. Everyone stresses to have professional photos done, but they're at the very least $40 per photo. (and you have to have 5 to apply) So... way too much money.
I redid one of my pics to make it look closer to the ones that The Smithsonian have up from last year. http://smithsoniancraftshow.org/indexmain.asp?content=Ceramics or http://smithsoniancraftshow.org/indexmain.asp?content=Glass or I guess the closest might be this guy's pics http://smithsoniancraftshow.org/ExhibitorContent/Wood5/Levy5.asp ...I'm pretty sure he's taken out his background.
I don't even know if mine's close. I swear it's like totally obvious that I've erased the background. I mean, it's not *bad* but it's not... screaming that it's done by a prfessional either. IKD.
The bowls are hard to shoot because of the shiny paint. Glare galore. And I usually get a hard shadow. *sigh*


Why didn't we get two eps of Merlin? I feel deprived! Also... everyone wanted to do Lancelot. Y/Y? I swear, Arthur was seconds away from confessing his undying love for Lance at the end there.
Also, are they trying to make it seem like Arthur's just being too macho to like Morgana? Because it comes off like he really *doesn't* find her attractive or interesting but he's trying to because he knows that everyone else expects him to like her.
Next weeks ep looks so awesome! :D

I hope everyone who celebrates the freedom of America did so by blowing up a small chunk of it.

(in IN they start with the fireworks in early June and don't stop until mid July. So... less like Independance Day and more like Independence Month and a Half)

"Sometimes when you hunt something you have to become the hunter to learn more about it."- Zach Bagans

This week they investigated the "Bird Cage Theater" in AZ. So, per the above quote, they dressed up like gunslingers and "killed" some other gun slingers. Zach spent the rest of the investigation with a (I'm pretty sure) silk kercheif on and some faux guns. This show. So full of lulz.

And sometimes it's just weird. Like Zach not knowing what a "soiled doves" (prostitute) was (totes obviouse from the context) or him refering to prostitute sex as "dirty business". And he really doesn't like mannequins. Really. Fucking hates them.

Plus, Zach has this weird attraction to people and ghosts swearing at him or pushing him around forcefully. I think he's kinda repressed.

I don't care what anyone else says... I like Primeval. Abby and Conner are adorable.

And thanks BBCA... nice way to advertise that you were showing DW's The Next Doctor. If I didn't enjoy Primeval so much I would have missed it. I liked TND... it was exciting. And funny. And a little homoerotic at times. And there was a hot air balloon. But I did feel it was a bit emo heavy with Ten being all "They break my heart." I really liked the guy that wasn't the Doctor though. And his companion girl. Good team, them.

Also, BBCA is apparently going to be showing the DW thing that came after TND... Dead Planet or something. After they air Torchwood. (which I am so excited about. omgyay.) So... SyFy lost first air rights to DW?

Who cares! I'm getting British TV!

Also... I love Merlin like nobody's business. That show. Is so gay. I can't stand it. Arthur and Merlin are clearly soul mates. Even the dragon knows it. Gah! It's so romantic. Plus, Gwen is totally cute. And ASH is back on my tv. (even if he is just going by AH now) And he's still crazy attractive. That man just keeps getting better. (also... lols that he hates magic)
I totally approve of NBC airing two eps every Sunday. I don't think I could get by on one ep a week. The Poisoned Chalace was, like, the romantic thing I've seen in quite a while. OMG, when Uther crushed the flower and Arthur tried to reach through the bars to grab it... I seriously almost cried.

There was a monkees marathon on the other day. Damn that show was good. In a crazy psychodelic, mind trippy, makes absolutly no sense and hey maybe we can have pirates sometimes way. Which is awesome. The ep with the fairy tales... so brilliant. And The Devil and Peter Tork... so sad and beautiful. I love that Peter plays 'I Wanna Be Free' after Mike tells him that he really can play the harp. (even if it wasn't really Peter playing) Such an awesome episode.

So many celebs died recently... and I think there's one left to go. Who will it be?

Ghost Adventures is so LOLWHUT. I don't even know if it's funny or sad or, as in the case of this episode, kinda offensive. I don't care what the guy said, no native american tribe was totally fine with spanish guys making them christian. There was weird whitewashing from the tourguides (?) and then some oh-so-wrong slow/loud speaking w/ hand gestures from Zach while asking the NA ghosts to talk. *shakes head* Zach falling up that hill/calling it a mountain/being all sweaty and tired was full of lulz. As was Aaron being totally confused about hills made of sand in CA. Whut? Nick wins slightly though.
As weak as the show is... I am sort of looking for some GA RPS for teh funny. So wrong, right? But there has to be some... there's Ghost Hunters rps.


I can not believe that people in the industry are still saying that female leads don't work with movies. And that any movie which does well with a female lead is a fluke. Right... and movies with male leads *never* flop. What the fucking hell is wrong with people? Srsly. Nia Vardalos was talking about it on Chelsea Lately and it's so unbelievable. Blergh.


The local (two towns over) comm theatre has released their list of plays for the 09/10 season. Again it seems that I am only applicable to audition for one. *sigh* And it's a comendy. *sigh, again*
The thing I don't get is that they always complain that they don't have enough middle aged guys to play parts... but the keep putting on plays that, sometimes exclusivly and mostly majoritively, have midlge aged men.
Two or three plays are primarily kids/teens and one is "feminist". The Heidi Chronicles by Wendy Wasserstein... I read part of it online and it... is icky?
Lots of people seems to like it and maybe it's supposed to be stereotypical because hello angry, man-hating lesbian and creepy, cult-y, female empowerment group and womanizing bf vs secretly gay bf and an ending where the main character hopes to fulfill her life by adopting a child. Because, you know, you're not really worthwhile as a woman until you raise some babies. Maybe the play was supposed to piss me off? Maybe because it was set in the 60's-80's? *shrug* All the woman are, I think, either too old or too young for me to audition for. I suppose I could audition to be the man hating lesbian who doesn't want to shave her legs. (but I think she's in her 30's?)
There's another play, comedy, for Christmas... but it makes fun of southern people and I'm not sure about that.
I am however going to ask if they ever do independant plays because I've got this awesome idea for a family drama. It won't get boring like most drama's because zombies will be attacking. But all the zombie attacks will be off stage so, you know, someone will get too close to a window, an arm will reach out, grab them, drag them away and then all you'll hear is the zombies going *omnom nom nom*.


What is with me and 1977... people born in that year are like catnip to me.


( An association of mine e-mailed this to me. It may be about Jesus? IDK. 'This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.' Anyway... I do not think that this list is 100% true for everyone. )

Woo?

I had a show to do. And work to do before the show. And I have more work to do now. Which is better than having no work to do. Plus, at the show I almost sold out of my bowls. I had ten and eight went. Even the extra large ones. (even if it was just wholesale, that's still $175 for between 10-12 hours of work) Anyway, it was a v. good show.

I was going through some stuff in the car and I found a scrap of paper on which I wrote "The plastic bag is the tumbleweed of consumerism."... I get so philisophical while in the car.

Has everyone been watching Pushing Daisies late episodes on Saturdays? I can't believe next Sat is the last ep ever. Too sad. That show is too freaking wonderful.

Finally saw Star Trek. It was awesome. Weirdly, I think I liked Sulu best.

So, I was watching a few eps of Jonas. (There was nothing on and I needed something to listen to while smoothing out the paper mache snakes on a bowl.) Anyway... it seems like they were trying for a Monkees thing, but got something that's just lame. And kinda pretty gay. Also, I can't tell the boys apart. I mean, I know they're different... but I have no idea which one is which. Is the less attractive one with straight hair the oldest? They curly haired ones seem sort of interchangeable.

Still haven't seen Star Trek yet. It isn't at the local theater. Maybe next week. I so want to. I've been really, really trying to avoid spoilers, but it is difficult. Srsly.

Lost finale was unfuckingbelievable.

Dollhouse finale was, with the exception of some weird on the nose dialogue, afuckingmazing. And it got renewed! Woo! *dances*

Finge finale was epic. Also, people really called the whole Peter thing from way back? I only got it like, five minds before they, you know, pointed it out. I need to pay more attn next season.

TBBT finale was sweet and sad. Aww!

Primeval is back! Woo! And everyone got haircuts! Yay? God, Hannah S is so freaking cute.

iCarly has been really adorkably funny. It's a gaurenteed LOL.

SNL Jeopardy! sketches are made of win.

Ordered some postcards from vistaprint. Apparently they're gonna be glossy! ( They have pictures of art on them. )


~*MOTHERFUCKING MULTI-FANDOM GODDAMN FRIENDING MEME*~


( So... I haven't said much about the local community theatre. )

*points to icon* To get ready for the new Star Trek moive Zombie!Jesus insisted that he dress as Spock. And beam places. He's Zombie!Jesus and that's how he rolls.


In other news... OMG How amazingly mind blowing was Lost. Except for Kate. She needs to get lost down a well. And I loved how sensationalized the preview for next week was.

It's practically shoulder length. (just brushes the shoulders) I have no idea what to do with it. I suppose a new color, but I'm not sure if I want to go back to red (blonde now) or maybe a darker blonde to match the roots... Oh, hair.


It's so weird when it seems like shows are in your head.

I was watching Fringe (which was awesome and amazing and full of suspence and Astrid is so freaking cute I can't stand it) and the scene with Walter explaining the linear time and multiple timelines/dimention/universes stuff... is exactly the scene I've been going over in my head for, like, the last year and a half for a schizophrenia/alt realities story. Also it was totally going to be like what Olivia is going through. Oh, Fringe.


Reaper is getting so awesome. Tonight's ep was wicked cool. Woo!


Zachary Quinto is, like, the most adorable thing ever. Srsly.

( Oh, Dollhouse )



Am I being blind or is there really no Star Trek slash comm on LJ?
