In 2001, Christopher Nolan conceived a notion of a horror story where industrial spies extracted information by invading your dreams. In 2010, it became a visually and financially succesful science fiction film winning critical appraisal. I want to make it into a musical, with an infinitely lower budget for a school production.
Here is the script for it so far; it's still in development and only the first three scenes have been completed. Please ignore any notations, as…
Yes this sounds lame, I realize that... But I tell you it is not.
Battle Pirates is this awesome facebook RTS (real time strategy) game where you do lots of awesome things.
I first started playing in October and have become overly addicted to the strange world of Battle Pirates. There is a formula of how to play and there are methods to everyone's madness. You build ships and weaponry all whilst trying to gather resources and protect them. You have armors and walls and…
I just found this randomly when I was looking for something completely unrelated. It's a prologue to some play I was apparently writing at some point. I don't remember when I wrote this... honestly I don't remember writing it, but I seem to remember what the play was going to be about. Anyways, here is my prologue, in some weird faux-Elizabethan-fusion-ish speak, and performed by a clown. Enjoy it! Or don't, I don't…
I am truly the all-time King of All Slackers. Honestly.
Well, here we sit in the early days of 2011 and I, for one, am finding myself in a bit of a productive mood.
Been busy making videos:
Also been getting back to old projects that I should have had done a long time ago, but instead of apologizing for all my slack, I instead have decided to take a "things will happen in their own… Continue

So, this December I am trying to something different each day that I wouldn't normally do. Today's is learn how to tune my ukulele and then learn how to play a song on it.
STRESS
I have NO idea how to do this. But I'm going to try and then blog and also vlog about it.
I've started making unedited videos on youtube about each day in December and the things I've been doing.…
Today's Things That Amuse Me will be slightly different and I'll explain more about that in just a moment.
Things That Amuse Me #24: The Phantom Tollbooth (the play)
In 1977, Susan Nanus made a two-act theatrical adaptation of Norton Juster's novel. It follows the same plot the novel does, basically the story of Milo as he finds this magical tollbooth and travels to the Kingdom of Wisdom and learns a valuable lesson (there is more than that, but…
It's time for another fun-filled edition of Things That Annoy Me.
Things That Annoy Me #19: People who don't know how to lose
At first glance this may seem like someone who never wins complaining about people who never seem to lose. However, that's not what I meant. These people are the people who play games purely to win and nothing else.
I have no doubt that we have all had to deal with these people at some time in…
So, yeah, it's being another busy day. I may have time tonight to write a blog, but if not, this will, once again, be all. Eventually, school will be out for the summer and I'll have more time to write. That day is coming up soon, and I will still try to post the next installment of Things That Annoy Me tomorrow.
...No... Really. I'd like that. Saturday wasn't enough... -.-
So the play was today. According to everyone, it went well. And I poured my heart out more than ever. :3 So yeah... I hope I made a good Alena. :3 So tired... But a few things to say.
I met Michael Slade, the playwright. He was really friendly and answered all of our questions, he loved the play and well.... As Samy says in her monologue "Everyone was very, very happy." Cast party is… Continue

Dear stress, I'd like to say one thing to you. And one thing only. I hate you for the gray hairs you are causing, as well as the premature wrinkles I'm sure to have.
OKAY! First blog here- or... rather... Ever. So I guess I'll explain something. I'm in a play. Yus siree! I play Alena Lederove in A Child Shall Lead. It's quite fun. :3 Acting is one of my passions. And this play is more stressful than usual for many reasons.... 1. Our cast, though all are… Continue

In which John discusses Hank's impending punishment in the context of Thierry Henry's hand ball in the lead-up to a goal in Ireland and France's World Cup Qualifier. (I am not a die-hard Ireland supporter or anything; I just like fair play.) The "Are the new viewers gone yet" is… Continue
In celebration of Halloween on Saturday, I decided to go for something really creepy in my last vlog before November. I thought, "What's the best spooky short story I know that not many other people know that they should know and check out because it's awesome?"
Well, behold!
Despite the fact that I look like a harmless 12-year-old, I'm actually a harmless 22-year-old who's obsessed with scary stuff. I want to live in Disney's… Continue
It's the last piece of entertainment that President Lincoln would ever see.
With that knowledge, I never knew that the play was a comedy. Strange what history can do to our perceptions.
Anyway, the UNCW theatre department put on this very funny play about an American visiting his English cousins and saving the day. I just got back from the show. It was really well done.
The director, a former professor of mine, Dr. Terry Theodore, followed the original concept… Continue

On my agenda for today: finally finish french project (alliteration ftw), do lighting at play practice with erika, find phone.
I'm procrastinating like it's necessary to finish this project. It's not even difficult but i can't seem to get myself to finish it. Oh well.
The play is 2 days away. We have off from school today but i still have to go to play practice. This is insane! At least i will have Erika to entertain me. And Char, Megan, Kenny, Jackie, etc. I just hope i… Continue

As I sat in College Algebra, listening to the terms I heard so long ago, I began to find that I have completely forgotten what they mean. My brain is still stretched to the right capacity to contain all the information, but due to under thinking of the future and the after-effects of Senioritis, most of the information has been flushed out.
Today was the first day of actual work in College Algebra. My head was expecting to revert right back into AP Calculus but found that the track… Continue
