Got back a couple hours ago from the 2006 Oregon State Thespain Conference (in normal language, the state acting competition). It was a long and tiring adventure to say the least. We performed Urinetown, one last time, for close to 1000 enthusiastic high-schoolers, and I have no problems saying that it was the most amazing performance that I have ( Read more... )

It feels like a Sunday. Yeah, we don't have school tomorrow, but we've only got one more day off and it feels like it's already gone by. It's been a good break for me...getting away from everything school-related has been quite nice. I wish it weren't over though. I'm really not looking forward to the state acting competition this week, missing two ( Read more... )

It's a Friday night and I've got nothing going on, which of course means that nobody else is around. Looks like another homework night. We had Urinetown rehearsal #2 earlier; ten people decided not to show up so that was cool. Found out that we have to come up with somewhere around $180 for the three-day long state acting competition, which I am ( Read more... )

If you all aren't coming to the basketball game on Thursday, then you'd sure as hell better be giving me a damn good reason why RIGHT NOW.

I mixed up those times on my last entry.

Demonstration times for BMAI at the Asian Celebration are 1:00 on Saturday, and 12:30 on Sunday.

67% of white Americans believe that MLK's birthday should be a national holiday.

Is it possible that we're really that slow?

Today must be my day for watching kid things. We went and saw Wallace and Gromit today...it was pretty funny. Cute, you might say. The claymation is so amazing; I can't even imagine how much work goes into making a full-length movie like that. And it looks pretty cool, too ( Read more... )

It's sweet that tomorrow's Friday...I think they should think about having more of these three-day weeks. Our return to school has of course been accompanied by the usual weirdness of all of my teachers, leaving me no doubt that I have never before had such a bizarre group of them--most of them good, however. My math teacher taught 4th period on ( Read more... )
