Fail Blog

Currently sitting in on linguistics for the first time in a while with Miss jackiecookfair.blogspot.com. I still haven't actually learned very much which is a little bit disappointing, however I do have some rather wonderful news.

Thanks to the wonderful Elysse Yulo, I was able to make it home last weekend and I got to see Sweeney Todd! Pictured are two views of the FANTASTIC set.

I love my high school and their talent so much.

Anyway, apart from that being so incredibly amazing and making me extremely happy (I really do miss my home a lot... Nothing like dirty hobos, pigeons, and rats to make you feel better) I've had a bit of a stressful week.

FOR EXAMPLE: just the other day I managed to not sleep at all, burn my breakfast bagel, horribly crack my iPod screen, and just generally fail at understanding how to get my work completed.

But it's getting much better, though it has absolutely nothing to do with me getting sleep because that still isn't happening. Part of it is to do with the incredibly amusing things that I stumble upon.

Stumbleupon.com is probably the best site in the entire planet, second only to Robot Unicorn Attack. If you haven't played it yet... go. Now.

Drop your work and just make your dreams come true, because you will fail :)

Speaking of dreams, Greg Purnell of the currently un-updated gregpurnell.com received a NatGeo shirt from me. It's probably the best present he will ever receive... except then he goes and gets deodorant all over it. Fail.

St. Patrick's Day

To celebrate this wonderful Irish-Catholic holiday, I have been drinking Irish coffee all day.

Also, autoCAD will not let me do my homework like I'm dying to do and I therefore want to punch a baby in the face... or kick a puppy.

Robot Unicorn attack isn't helping me feel better about the situation.

I'm going to shoot myself in the face. It's fine.

Maybe I'll just go to sleep in DRMU and pray the magical computer fairies make my autoCAD file work...

I'm also really upset that I can't go to New York and see PPAS's version of Sweeney Todd. I'm highly upset.

Spring break!!!!

Funny story about how I haven't updated my blog.... not really. I've just been lazy.

So, we're on spring break and fellow bloggers, jcooks and GP, are at my house.

We had seen A View from the Bridge and Jersey Boys yesterday. SUPER AMAZING.

Although, admittedly, Jersey Boys (even with a "partial view") was a lot better than A View from the Bridge. View had an.... interesting set, a ton of lights that seemed almost unnecessary (unrelated), and somewhat distracting acting from Beatrice. But overall, it was pretty fantastic and I was thoroughly entertained. I was also pleasantly surprised by Scarlett Johansson's acting abilities. However I still feel that the PPAS version of View was 10xs better.

Jersey Boys was absolutely phenomenal. I really don't have the words to describe it, but you should all go see it.... Right now.

Later today, a group of us are going to go backstage at American Idiot where my dad works. Pretty excited.

In other news, I made breakfast for Jackie and Greg which was fantastically delicious, but I had to make myself a separate breakfast because theirs involved bacon which (because of Lent) I can't have until after Friday. But my yogurt/granola/peach concoction was still delicious. They're super jealous of it. I promise.
