Pie Time

So I forgot to mention something about last night. There was this elderly man sitting next to my friend, real nice guy, kinda smelled like my grandfather; a mix of beer and Old Spice. But during intermission he leaned over to my friend and pointed out a young man saying something like: "He looks like Harry Potter". The man had noticed a man with black hair and glasses, and then added: "If he starts flying around we should start worrying". I wish my grandfather would make Harry Potter references.

My neighbors are having a big yard sale. When I got home late last night I at first thought there was a boat in the yard, when in fact it was just some tents. But my mom scored the jack pot and bought the first season of Pushing Daisies for $5!!!!! Probably one of the best shows ever, do bad they cancelled it. :[

I really have nothing else to say.

CUT THE CRAP HAMLET....

MY BIOLOGICAL CLOCK IS TICKING, AND IF YOU LIKED IT THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT A RING ON IT!!

I just got back from seeing the RSC and it was AMAZING! The ironic thing was that my Lit teacher was sitting right behind me, what are the odds of that. For a moment this morning we weren't sure if we were going because we didn't have tickets and they claimed to be sold out. BUT a stroke of luck got us some tickets! YAY.

Imagine: Three guys, screaming, laughing, flying props, cross dressing, fake boobs, small daggers, and lots of people named Bob.

The show was so fast paced and energetic. They hit on every work by Shakespeare, though the sonnets were not ACTUALLY done, everything else was included. The 16 comedies were condensed into one story, the histories were represented through a football game (the crown being the football, and King Lear was fouled for being fictional), Othello was rapped, Titus Andronicus was a cooking show, Macbeth was very Scottish. Romeo and Juliet: "Call me but love" "ButtLove? Why do you want me to call you ButtLove?". And finally Hamlet was done with audience participation, flying socks, cups of water. It was done backwards, forwards, and sped up.

There's something about Shakespeare that fills the soul. Like eating an entire bag of Pop Weaver by yourself. OMM NOM.

GET THEE TO A NUNARY!!

No, get thee to bed.

BEANS

Survivor is on now. :]

We had beens tonight, and while I ate them I though "Beans are evil, bad bad beans" like the Doctor. And it turns out they are, as my stomach is kind of upset. Drinking ginger ale.

Today in Lit we talked about our final. Our teacher asked earlier this week: "What do you want to do about that final you don't want to take, and I don't want to give you?" So we've decided on doing a mix tape type thing, where we pick songs that relate to different works of literature we've read. So that's supper awesome.

A friend of mine asked me if I'd be interesting in going to see the Reduced Shakespeare Company, and of course I said YES! I've seen videos on YOUTUBE of them and they're rather hilarious. I also find this ironic because the theme for this week of 5awesomegirls is Shakespeare.

Also tried to not to wear my shoes that often.

That's kinda all I have to say, I wanna watch Survivor.

Thinkin' 'bout something.

Hanson? Remember Hanson. I barely do, so I went digging and found my Middle of Nowhere cassette. That's right, a cassette. Cassette includes their hit MMMBop. I know that as a kid you really don't read into things like you do when you're older. I know that after watching Bambi, or Lion King again, they make much more sense than they did when I was six. So I went on looking for the lyrics to MMMBop, because to be honest I have no real clue what's in the chorus. Along with some bop's, ba's, dop's, and dubi's there is this:

"In and MMMBop they're gone"

And I can gather that MMMBop is a span of time, either a moment or a second, what have you. Who knew.

Anyway, I'm saying all this because the other day while I was checking my e-mails I saw on "Today On AIM" a blip about Hanson and a NEW CD! WHOA! So I read through the article and then listened to their new single and kind of liked it. LISTEN!

So, that's cool right?

Also I read somewhere that they are participating and encouraging One Day Without Shoes (tomorrow), which, I guess, somehow I got roped into doing. That'll be interesting. I'd love a pair of Tom's shoes, if only I could afford 'em.

Hanson, no shoes. Fun times.

Can't read my, can't read my...books.

MA MA MA MA They've got me like nobody.

Oh hai! Exciting things. Today my lit teacher wrote the remaining days of school on the board in order to create our agenda. 37 days. That doesn't include April vacation, weekends, or days off but my small lit class of nine ('the nimble nine' she calls us) sat there for the last few minutes of class astounded at how little time we really have left. It's crazy. But our teacher told us we have 5 more books to read, which will be interesting. Right now we're reading The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri. Before hand we read The Overcoat by Nikolai Gogol, because the main character Gogol Ganguli is named after him. I'm enjoying the book, it's an easy read. I'm about half way through it. I'm not sure what we're reading next but I went out and bought Will Grayson Will Grayson, the new collab book by John Green and David Levithan. I don't know when I'll get the chance to read it since I have a ton of books I wanna read this summer including, but not limited to:

A Room With A View - E.M Foster (Got for Christmas)

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle - David Wroblewski (I bought this so long ago)

The Likeness - Tana French (I read In The Woods and loved it, but I heard this one wasn't as good)

In A Dark Time - Larry Watson (Montana 1948 was SPECTACULAR)

Two Towers (started) and Return Of The King - J.R.R Tolkien

The Chronicles of Narnia (started) - C.S Lewis

This along with some Agatha Christie and a TON of Shakespeare. Last summer I wanted to read a minimum of 7 books. I finished The Sweet and Far Thing, and then decided to reread Harry Potter and only finished the 5th one just before school started. GRRRRR. At least I have a to-do list. ;]

(I wanna put a countdown here) :/

Fiveawesome Dream

I'm takin' a mental health day. I had the strangest dream last night. I am aware that dreams are never as interesting to hear about as they are to experience, but oh well.

So in my dream, I was hanging out with the Fiveawesomegirls, in this HUGE house (for some bizarre reason I feel like it was Emma Watson's house.WTF?). I was seeking while and everyone was hiding. I found Kayley first, she was hiding under this red curtain thing, to be honest it wasn't a great hiding spot. Then she and I spit up to look for the rest. I found Liane, and Kayley found Hayley. Then Lauren turned up out of nowhere 'cause she got sick of hiding. But we still didn't know where Kristina was. And when we went into the hall we saw her in the stairwell, standing there staring at us, and just before she ran back down the stairs she cackled like witch (beyond creepy). So it was on. Wild goose chase to catch Kristina. We were all running and sliding on the hardwood flooring with out socks.

Yeah, that was about it. Also, I'm pretty sure it was raining outside. Not that that's important.

Alright, I'm go do something else.

New New Doctor?

So I have, partially, watched the new episode of Series 5 Doctor Who, introducing Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor. I say partially because I have not, in fact, watch all of it as Parts 4 and 5 were missing. So I've seen the beginning and I've seen the end, and I like what I've seen. I think, like most I was (and still am a bit) apprehensive of Smith, because I am so accustom to Tennant. But I can say that over the past months I've gotten over the fact that DT is not coming back and have gotten rather excited for this new Series. The episode in question, The Eleventh Hour, aired yesterday in the UK but isn't set to air here in the US till the 17th, and let's face it, I can't wait that long. The bits I got to watch were good, I do have to say though that I think that the budget for graphics must have been cut because they weren't that great. The music on the other hand was fantastic as usual, so I'll be happy when that's available on iTunes. I don't know if I like the new intro a whole lot, but that doesn't matter much. Also, I think I might need to warm up to Amy, she bothers me for some reason right now and what's up with that new sonic screwdriver?? And just a spoiler warning (not that anyone even reads this blog or cares much about Doctor Who): I'm gonna tell ya my favorite bits of what I got to see.

The bit in the beginning where Amelia (Amy) is trying to find something for the Doctor to eat, but he ends up spitting everything out. "You're Scottish, fry something."

Also, before that; "You're soaking wet." "I was in the swimming pool." "You said you were in the library." "So was the swimming pool."

The bit where the Doctor is handcuffed to the radiator and he tells Amy "Stay away from that door" and "Don't open that door" and she does it anyway and he says "Why does no one ever listen to me!? Do I just have a face that nobody listens to, again!?"

"Silver thing, blue at the end where did it go?!"

The bit near the end with the Atraxi and the holograms. Especially with the images of the past Doctors and when DT's face at the end and then Matt walks through the hologram. :]

Plus the music during this part is AWHESHOME!!!

And at the end where Amy remarks that he kept the clothes and then says "Even the bow tie"

and the Doctor responds "Yeah, it's cool, bow ties are cool." :]

I think the episode will be better once I've watch the whole thing start to finish. But never the less, I'm kinda excited!!!1!! I can't wait for the weeping angels to come back!!

Plus I love this clip hereeeee!

And I want more of this! I get chills.

Anyway, Happy Easter!
