I'M RUNNING OUT OF WITTY NAMES FOR POSTS

Hello my freaky friends.
I haven't posted in a while, I know, eat me. I've been super-duper busy recently with my musical theatre production of 'Beauty and the Beast'. I've been cast as 'Madame D'Arque' -the creepy asylum owner who takes Belle's father away. It's funny, I always seem to be cast as an uptight old woman.The same thing happened in a student-directed festival at my school (it was called the Sears festival). I was cast as an ass of a catholic woman. I was creepy in that too.
Here's a picture of my animated self.
                (I forgot to mention, Mme. D'Arque is a man in the movie. Well, M. D'Arque will just need to consider a sex change.)


Yall'z should come and see my show, it happens on May 31st - June 2nd at 7:00pm, plus a matineƩ at 2:00pm on June 2nd. That is, if your not in it, or living in anouther country.....


I'm just realizing, so, so, much has happened since I last posted. I played a gig at the spill with my Band; 'The Lonely Parade' which happened with my mates Anwyn and Char, and my brother's band 'Pepto Bismarck' They cover Nirvana songs...They posted their setlist on youtube (it's in three parts). We haven't gotten around to posting ours yet.




My time right now though roughly consists of rowing (5:45 EVERY MORNING), falling asleep during movies (probably because I'm so tired from the former^, I haven't gotten through a movie in about two weeks.), And watching Heartland. Let me explain before you lose respect for me altogether. 

Heartland is THE best cheeseball show ever. It requires very few neurons to comprehend. The scenery is GEORGEOUS, it makes me feel happy, and it's Canadian, from CBC. (I don't have cable. Therefore-Slim pickings.)
My friends make fun of me.

PLUS, SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

That's all for now, I've gotta munch some dinner.

P.S. I'm planning to post tomorrow about my suitcase adventures, stay tuned!!

Here's a song I just discovered.
Gives me shivers. Every time.

Lots of Exciting Stuff.

Okay, so I kind of just DROVE A CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. It was really amazing and fun and easy! (aside from staying on the road) And it was an automatic, so most of the work is done for you...

Also, I was reading Jemma's blog and her post on AMAZING SHORT FILMS. It reminded me of how much I love NFB films. I think I already told you to check them out in my first post... so do it! 'Cause there are some really cool Canadian indie films on that site!! Anyway, I remembered these two films, and I think I'll put them on this page, because they're just that awesome.



Or you can check them out on the NFB site, this will be some leeway for you to browse some other videos on the site!!!

Happy Friday!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ART CLOKEY!

So today searching up on google, I came across the google doodle thingy for today. It's Gumby.
Hell yeah.
Okay, so I'll give you the unnecessary play-by-play.

So I clicked on the icon.
Being the naturally curious human being that you know I am.... I looked at the Wikipedia page.
Apparently it's Art Clokey's 90th birthday.
He's the creator of Gumby. The epic 70s claymation show(Well technically it started in the fifties, and ran till '89).

I also found out that he's the creator of other claymation films such as Gumbasia, which was the inspiration for Gumby. Gumbasia is pretty sweet. Especially since it's from 1955, and pretty much paves the way for all other aspiring claymators (is that the right word?). Here, take a peek.


I love the music. 

Anyways, goodbye.

'What's your name?' 'The Doctor' 'DR WHO?'

Oh yeah. Nerd Party. 
Doctor Who happens to be the best sci-fi series out there. And it's British, making it 100000000000000000 times better than any American show. In my opinion, David Tennant was the best doctor. Undoubtedly. But Christopher Eccleston was pretty good too (though he was only around for 1 season). Here are some epic pictures of my favourite time lord (He's the only time lord. Jeez) 

UUHHH ISN'T DAVID TENNANT THE AWESOMEST??? 
Also, Rose Tyler is undoubtedly the doctor's best assistant. Except Billie Piper is now a pop star. Which turns me off slightly, but whatevs. She is a great Rose, and I'm not one for following celebrity gossip :P



This is an Ood from the Episode 'Planet of the Ood' 

These are all the past doctors, Christopher Eccleston being the first doctor in the last row, then David Tennant, then Matt Smith. I am definitely prejudiced against the most recent season. Which means I've seen one episode, and um, I strongly dislike what Dr Who has turned into. But I won't dwell on the present, I'll keep my head in the past most amazing seasons!! 

ALSO
CBC used to play Dr Who. Now they don't. I'm pissed. It's only on the Space Channel now. Well guess what? I DON'T HAVE CABLE.  Not that I'd want to watch the most recent season anyways...

ALSO
I want this. 

And lastly, I'll leave you with these.




Compare the two. Which do you like better? I can't decide...
