Your Score: Clark GableYou scored 33% Tough, 23% Roguish, 4% Friendly, and 38% Charming!You're a helluva guy, a real split personality and a bit of an enigma. On the one hand, you're a man's man, tough talking and ready for anything. But on the other hand, you soften your rough and tumble core with a disarmingly smooth exterior, and you make the ladies swoon. You're equally admired by both men and women alike, drinking other men under the table all the while charming the socks off half a dozen lovelies. You're a commanding presence, and you know how to get what - and who - you want when you want it. You're drawn to women who, like you, are savvy enough to deal with the world on their own terms. You work well with spitfires. Leading ladies include Joan Crawford, Myrna Loy, and Jean Harlow. No damsels in distress for you.

Acting is:
10% talent
80% effort
300% ego
Hell for me would be a perpetual musical audition. Much like the one I just had yesterday.
And no matter how hard I prepare, I can't sing the notes right, I keep forgetting the words, and when I do get those things right I'm constantly aware that my technique is not half-way up to snuff with the people who WILL get cast.
I wish I didn't love doing them so much.
And I wish that straight plays would get the audiences and run for three weeks like the musicals.
Maybe I just need to start doing movies. Spiderman doesn't have to sing. Nor did Frodo.

In other news, I just finished sitting through three days, totalling 10 hours of auditions (including my own).
'twas a new experiene, sitting on that side of the table. Happily, after all was done, I can be sure that I will get a cast I will be very happy with after my callbacks. Yes, I am going to be running my very first callbacks. Mwahahahahaaaaa...
A few truths that I found to be true after finally sitting on the other side of the table (which I need to remember):

....and now, tyime to work on a presentation for class that I have today.

So, we've picked up a new product in our travel store: an audio phrasebook for iPods.
I had a tech support moment (wheras I was the enlightened tech support and the customer was the ignorant masses) with these today.
Customer: Do these work on iPod minis and nanos or just regular iPods?
(slight pause, my eyes widen just a bit as I quickly swallow the following thought)
[contained within slight pause: "They're iPods. All of them. They're all made by the same company. Why on Earth would Apple make seperate products that are incompatible with one another. Furthermore, they are all mp3 players. Which equals same format, and they all work. Furthermore, this doesn't even require specifically an iPod. iPod :: mp3 player as Kleenec :: tissue paper. omg lrn 2 play n00b."]
Me:...yes. It works for all of them.

More reviews:
Blue Man Group = teh shizzle
Mamma Mia = meh
Spamalot! = SUCKY. Note: this was becase I had "Partial View" seating. Blocked about a third of the show for me. Mad props to "You Won't Make it on Broadway Without any Jews" and "We are NOW The Knights Who Say 'Ikki-ikki-zwooOOp-WOW-btang-[lyrics to Sexyback whilst a Knight who formerly said 'NEE!' freaks with one of Robin's minstrels]" and a Britney "Sheers" reference.
......BUT I SAW IT ON BROADWAY BITCHES.

| What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Drama Nerd You sure do love the spotlight and probably have a very out-going and loud personality. Or not. That's just a stereotype, of course. Participation in the theatre is something to be very proud of. Whether you have a great voice for musicals, or astounding skills for dramas/comedies; keep up the good work. We need more entertainment these days that isn't television and video games (not that these things are bad, necessarily.) | | Literature Nerd | | | Social Nerd | | | Gamer/Computer Nerd | | | Musician | | | Artistic Nerd | | | Science/Math Nerd | | | Anime Nerd | | What Be Your Nerd Type?

I finally sat down and did some musing once again. Huzzah! Hope you've got a long time to sit and read and a clear mind to make sense of my ramblings.

Sometimes I don't know why I don't just drop everything and just start...wandering.
I might be less disappointed.
Looks like I won't be drinking for a while.

It is truly amazing what time away from something will do. You come back to it and you think....I cared about this? This REALLY interested me that much?
...unless it's reading a good book. That has the opposite effect...you think, "Why did I ever stop?"

BLAST! I've been tagged by two people for the same thing. BLAST! I say!
I'll do it later.
So...
I rechristened my car finally with a name that suits me sufficiently: "Darkwing." It makes me happy.
AND I hurt my hand rather painfully turning a door knob.
...both in the same day!

I'm a Ferrari 360 Modena!
You've got it all. Power, passion, precision, and style. You're sensuous, exotic, and temperamental. Sure, you're expensive and high-maintenance, but you're worth it.

WELCOME 2007!
GOOD RIDDANCE 2006!
Watched the ball drop: check.
Champange at midnight: check.
New Year's kiss: :( Ben rejected my facetious offer. He opted for DP.

DDR in front of a lit fireplace = super hot workout
Super hot workout + stepping outside sans shirt = steam rising off body. SIZZLIN'!
****
At long last, "No Horns" has more materiel, thanks in part to three bottles of Guiness, some shots of vodka, Champange, Coke from a champagne laced cup, and Bailey's Irish Cream...between the both of us.
...we never did actually reach an official "end" to the sketch. Just a mutual agreement that we were not going to get there that night. We'll have to try it again at a later date.

A conversation at work today. The set-up, apparently while I was on break the other employees pulled out some fake mustaches which we randomly have in the store and had some fun taking pictures with the remaining pictures on a disposable camera which was bought for documenting the Chrsitmas decorations for next year. Exceptionally long-winded explaination over, recounting begining:
(paraphrased)
Daniel: You know, that's something we ought to sell here in the store...
David: Disguise kits for travelers?
Wayne: Hide your American-ness in foreign countries!
David: Yeah, travel without repercussion from America's flagging foreign policy!
Daniel: Yeah it would include fake mustaches...
Wayne: Wigs...
David: ........Blackface...
Daniel: (Throws things at David) BAD EMPLOYEE! BAD! BAD! (PC justice is rained down upon David.)

Now I remember why I woulod always get tired of breaks towards the end (except for Spring Break of course). I get tired of the routine of just seeing family, family, family every day and chilling, chilling, chilling every day.
All right, I've had my time of sleeping in until noon for a week and a half. I'm pretty recharged. Let's get this show back on the road!
...and I still have nine days left.
I can't believe I'm actually begrudging a break in school. Perhaps it's because this last semester I had a NINE month break.

Disturbing Chrstian product alert: So...there is now "Left Behind: Tribulation Force" the video game. I have avoided playing the gamne and will continue ever to do so...but from what I ca glean from the pictures and video clips I've seen...it's an RTS not unlike Age of Empires...complete with insta-convert street corner missionaries and other such nonsense units. There is multi-player...play as the tribulation force or as the armies of the antichrist! I'm thinking that the preferred choice will be the side of the antichrist. Just a hunch.
Reviews have been...unimpressed to say the least.
Christians who have any influence over this kind of thing: please, please, PLEASE stop this from happening ever again. Pretty please? With sugar on top? Please no more laughably bad products proudly tagged with "Christian." While I suppose the title "Chrstian" is supposed to be worn...as somewhat a badge of honor....well, that's actually just it: a badge of HONOR. HONOR being the operative word here. Pretty sure you don't honor pieces of crap.
I would compare this kind of thing to another faction of people...but I'm pretty sure I'd REALLY offend a lot of people on both sides of the issue.

And now...tidbits from my X-mas Vacation
****
A couple comes into our store and are looking at the walking er...sticks. There seems to be some verbal conflict but it stays benign. I find it...cute...how thhe wife call her husband all sorts of pet names like "my petite coquet." She doesn't say them sarcastically or overindulgently...her tone is reall, really dry. She delivers them matter-of-fact-ly more than as some sort of proper name.
****
I had a good chuckle as I waited at a corner while I listened to a Salvation Army Bell-ringer tell a kid at my corner that his Dad was Santa Claus. The kid was quite vehement in his denial. And the bell-ringer kept it up. I think he might have been bored and was feeling a touch sadistic. The Dad stayed uninvolved. The exchange made my day. Just one of those..." Well, don't see that every day." kinda things.
****
Got an iPod Nano. The red kind. Don't have to wrry about naqming it since it's already engraved, "Sir David." So, the iPod's name is hereby: Sir David.
Still need to rechristen the car. "Montoya" was always meant to be a placeholder until I came up with something decent.

Quote from sister: "I think this is a booty call from God to you."
Ain't it great being friends with benefits?

I want Katie's version of DDR. It has more uber songs than mine. And the Haevy difficulty is truly, truly "Heavy."

Anybody in the market for a desktop PC? I'm looking to sell mine. Gonnna be loading up with a Macbook Pro in the near, near, near future and I dun need the behemoth after that.
Also, all PC games and most of my X-box games will be sold unless I am contacte dwith a better offer. Not like I'll miss'em, they're all rather old for the most part.
And I'll finally be digging up, dusting off, cleaning up, and selling the drumset thhat's been shuffling about in storage space in our house for years. 'Bout time I put that thing to some use.
