A Better Word for Weird

I just asked Eddie Izzard a question. Let's see if he answers it *knocks on wood*
See, "The Riches" has this fan podcast where you can call in and ask a question or add a comment, and maybe it'll get featured. I guess we'll have to see next week! ^__^

The last two days, I've started learning the guitar from m'dad. The plan once I get back in Chicago is to find a cheap-ass guitar on craigslist or in a pawn shop so I can keep learning. Aside from being cheap, a cheap-ass guitar will be good for taking to Burning Man so it can get full of sand.
And for my birthday Dad's gonna sign me up for this online course. He says I should be able to play well enough to play along with myself as I sing by next year, if I work at it. So I choose to believe him.

Nyack folk: I'll see you at "Titanic" tomorrow night!!!

Custom-locked for girl talk, with a few trusted exceptions. ;)
Un-locked. Cause. Stuff. I was being silly. :P

So hey rocknlobster, it didn't take me as long to finish as I thought it would. XD

Meme: The Top 10 Fictional Characters I'd Nail.

Personally, I don't like the word "nail". But I guess by its use it's suggesting pure sex without emotional attachment or really, anything beyond skin-depp (skin-deep. wow. freudian slip, anyone?) attraction. Which, really, is tough for me to fathom. Usually my attraction to someone has quite a bit to do with the personality or character traits of said person. But I did my best.

You may notice Nick Stahl is nowhere on the list. Believe me, I considered including him, but given that my very first reaction to him was “WOW you are weird-lookin’”, I don’t think we could say it’s a shallow attraction by any means. It’s very much a respect thing, and if anything, respect should matter very little in this meme.

ALSO. There are two characters from Battlestar Galactica on here, and my little paragraphs about ‘em include spoilers for seasons 2.5 & 3. If you care about that kinda thing.

Enough talk.

( The Top 10 Fictional Characters I'd... well, y'know. *giggles* )

Oooh, my achin' everything.

Well, all told, after that first big WTF moment, it turned out not to be a Suck Day. Just a very busy one.
Anyway, when one can apply Izzard-isms to their activities, it is rarely a Suck Day in my book.

The "No Pain No Gain" bit comes from Acting Class. Dawn, our teacher, isn't in this week, so instead we have a movement teacher... Actual exchange between the movement dude and me:

EMILY: I actually had a question... During the arms thing, I rather felt as though I was going to... vomit.
DUDE: Ah! Yes, I'll talk about that tomorrow. Yeah, if you have to vomit, just run out to the bathroom and vomit... Then come back here and put your arms back up.

Luckily three years of kung fu has conditioned me to find enjoyment in the pain of exercise.
Or maybe everybody's got a bit of a warrior in them.

Then after that, I actually did go to a garage (the Arts Alliance garage, to be more specific) to, well. Saw a plank of wood in half. And drill things. All for the sake of "Urinetown".

Then I came back here and took some well-deserved crash time.

Soon I get to go to sleep and get up and do it all over again! ^___^ ::enjoys being busy... as long as she knows what the hell she's doing::

I'm seeing this performance of Eddie Izzard's "Sexie" tour!!! Anyone who wants to come alone + sit somewhere close to where I'll be, try to snag seats as close as possible to the Rear Mezzanine Center, Seats M-101 to M-107.

I'll see 'ya there!!

You like-a de icon? De icon ees gooood. I get you more icon.

Ahhh, Friday. Is there a better day? The start of the weekend ^.^

Saw two Broadway shows this week- Two, count 'em, TWO. First off, Thoroughly Modern Millie with da Drama Club- a most adorable show. We were originally going to see Dance of the Vampires but then it got closed...

As for the second show, last night I saw A Day in the Death of Joe Egg. And of course, instead of only being totally admiring of Eddie Izzard as a comedian and actor, I now also have a crush on Bri, his character in the play. Heh ^.^ Even though Bri's a liiiittle bit screwed up mentally. Guess this is a return to my Dilandau days or something ^.^

All right, so maybe Bri's not THAT screwed up. But he's got some issues.

And Mr. Izzard signed my Playbill and shook my hand as well ^.^ Quite fantastic meeting him, though he seemed really tired and not as talkative as the other actors. I wouldn't blame him, though. It's a taxing role.

On to the weekend! :-D
