"I married you because you needed a date for your wedding!"

Okay, that's weird, I just searched this blog and apparently I've never mentioned Roseanne even once. Huh. I think about Roseanne pretty much all the time so I expected I would've written something about the show or even about her in general.



Okay especially the whole perfume scene around the 2:18 mark. Awww man, so cute! She's so lovely and warm in the beginning of this series. That clip is from the second episode. Kind of neat that is that good right off the bat. It's a shame that the show got really brutal near the end. Taints everyone's opinion of the show even though the first bits are really unbeatable.
The whole show is so loving and funny and honest and realistic and neat. John Goodman's physically comedy is amazing and they're all so cute to each other and teasing and joking but not in a mean way. The characters are perfect really, annoying Jackie and panicky Crystal and cute DJ and aw man, young George Clooney, come on now!
I love it!
So much!

Poor everyone who's been hanging around me lately because it's all I want to talk about.
If I could make a sitcom as good as this my life would be complete, I bet.

Seriously though, I recommend that you watch the first few episodes. At least.


I'm do a very good job of taking it easy! Congrats to me!

Yesterday I had no social hang out times and today I'm home at a reasonable time after working all day and then hanging in Bellwoods for awhile with my peers and then having tea with Niki. Pretty chilllled out.

I think I'm going to go to sleep now and it's not even 12:30! Awesome!

friday is monday round these parts

UGH BACK TO WORK I GO

ready and able, I guess

yep, working a bunch for the next week or so. Lots and lots. Going to make a tonne of cash. I decided.



Okay here are some photos from the drive up to Miss Lindeman's parent's place (which is the woods somewhere near the SuperBurger that's all I know). We went there first and then on to Owen Sound to visit Deck's parents. I have about a billion photos of the whole thing so you'll have to hold on because I'm not posting them all today. Geez.

Gotta have a slurpee otherwise it's not a roadtrip, don't know when that tradition started, kind of wish it wasn't so.. I usually don't even drink slurpees though I do love them so.


get the tunes on let's get outta here already I have my slurpee I am so ready to go


Why does Deck look so smug? Is it because he was making fun of me for taking a billion photos of myself? I bet so!



FIELDSSSSSS!!!!






Yep, pretty exciting drive, hey? I loved it, actually, I never get to go on roadtrips my life is so hard, etc.
Okay more pictures later or something. Maybe not it's Red Sox weekend so work will be busy (fingers crossed). Besides that I'm trying to lay low though. For real. I think.

i was in the coal digging up diamonds

that the miners had left behind behind behind




Dear Diary,
I have way too much to say to you. I have little time (or it feels that way at least?) to do it in. I also have no proper words lately to hash things out, maybe because I've been over-socialized to the extreme max can't even explain.
I know that I need time alone sometimes but I seriously can't find it always.




Take last night, for instance; I just got home from a mini-vaca at Deck's parents house in Owen Sound and I knew that I should stay home and veg out, but instead I went to Accost's birthday BBQ (which was a good idea obviously since I'm a pretty big fan of Accost and of all the other people who were there) and then after that I went to walk the dog and from there I went to the Ossington because some of my BFFs were all there premiering a music video they'd made. Then from there I stopped by Dakota because I thought buds would be there and also because I'm pretty into the current Wednesday band, Zeus. (ooo I see they're playing in Saskatoon in September, you should go it'll be fun). And then after that I went to Lakeview!
What's wrong with me?! I'm such a dumb!
I need to stay home and chill the fuck out!




And thennnn this morning I had brunch with Dollface, a commercial audition, then pretty much as soon as I got home I went out again for coffee with Cpt. Heh and then to Bellwoods to hang out with him and the gang and draw pictures and drink tall tall cans of Arizona ice tea.



Why don't I spent any time alone?!
I'm not sure I even know how to do it anymore!

I can feel myself getting annoyed and annoying but yet I have such a hard time extricating myself from social situations. What if they have fun without me??
I would die.



Aw, man, I wasn't hungry until that lentil soup started cooking and now I can't even concentrate I'm so starved!

or at least get them badly sprained

Okay so I guess I'm going to do a play tonight? Yeah whatever so what if it got five stars and NNNN in Now Magazine. No pressure or anything.

YIKES.


36 Little Plays About Hopeless Girls -- 10 pm -- Bread and Circus

The biggest thing is going to be not worrying about it. I am sometimes alright with nerves and sometimes they take over. Mostly nerves get me in auditions not in actual performances. So this should be fine?
It will be!!!

I can't even explain to you how badly/early it's been selling out -- so get there 90 minutes before if you're planning on buying tickets at the door. Okay? Okay.



Besides that, it's been partypartyparty around here and I'm sure I will have something to say about that very soon. And photos! God do I have a backlog of photos. It's getting messy around here all the pictures that need to be sorted and edited and posted.

Whatever I still have one more week of vacation (by which I mean another week of getting another job) so I'll have time!

Okay wish me break all my legs!!

gotgotgotgot got no time

Hey Blog, what's up? I don't have time for you!

Aw, man, I've been spending all afternoon working on the scenes for that play I'm doing on Thursday and it feels soooooooo good. I love getting into the whole physicality of a new character, figuring shit out, walking it through, imagining.

Should I go to theatre school?

Probably not.
I mean, I already did a two-year diploma in Acting for Film at Humber. And first year of that was very much like a conservatory theatre school. But still....

I definitely should actually get around to opening an actor's gym though. Imagine all the voice and movement classes you could ever dream of???
So fun!


GREAT NEWS::



Yep, that's right -- got a sweet new ride that you will be so jealous of whenever you see me on it because it is so beautiful all rich burgundy and shit.



Secret's out - I'm only bffs with the BFF on account of her awesome family, especially her dad who gave me this bike! Gave it to me! And now I ride it! He even put my old handlebars on it for me!



Life is way funner with a beautiful working bicycle. I think this is maybe the nicest bike I've had? Maybe? It makes me want to make it even better. But then for the first time I'm nervous that it'll get stolen!


OKAY GUYS BACK TO WORK I GO.

WHO KNEW HOLIDAYS COULD BE SO MUCH WORK??

Just jokes, it's partypartyparty all around here.
Except maybe a bit too much. I do like how in summer there's days where I don't seem to go home at all, but.. you know.
Over-socialized for sure.

I'm not about to stop now, though.

SO.

it appears I'm going to be pinch-hitting for a play at the Fringe here in Toronto.
I'm going to be filling in for one night of
36 Little Plays About Hopeless Girls
10p.m.
Thursday July 9th
Bread and Circus (in Kensington)

(oh yeah, I might have told you it was Friday but I was momentarily confused or something.)



Um, yeah, pretty excited/nervous. Gotta learn the play!

This is the same play as we opened for a couple of summers ago so at least I've seen it a few times also I really loved it (but seriously) so I'm excited to get to be in it for one night!

You should come!
It will be funtimez for us!
(five stars in Eye, jfyi)
Actually, you should go see this even if you can't go when I'm in it.


.

I gave it some thought, and I just want you to know that I've had enough of this garbage strike. And I definitely have enough fruit flies infesting my place because I neglected to empty my organics container regularly lately and instead am out partying 'til all hours.
ughhghhghg.

How Can I Tell If I'm Really In Love?

My friend had this video and we watched (possibly high) in high school and it's probably the best thing ever.
It's called "How Can I Tell If I'm Really In Love?" and it stars Jason and Justine Bateman as well as a (coked-out?) Ted Dansen. It was made for the California school board as part of sex ed classes I guess??

I found a clip on youtube:


Best quotes that're not in this video:

"It's like being on the planet Z of funness" then "Planet Z, yeah..."
"Love, when it comes, suddenly (certainly? I can't tell what he's saying) your heart will open"
"It was love at first sight I was 10 and he was 18."

Aw, man, okay the whole thing is amazing. If you come over I'll let you watch it sometime.


okay
I'M ON VACATION AND IT'S BRUNCH TIME NOW!!!!

took the midnight train going anywhere

I watched the pilot for Glee a couple of weeks ago and ever since I've had Don't Stop Believing by Journey in my head. And they played it at the dome tonight, so it's extra on my mind.
I recommend watching this video:

It makes me feel so glad inside.. anyone else?


ALSO:
My friend sent me this video:


with the note " This is pretty much how I feel about you. Pretty much."

EXACTLY HOW I WANT EVERYONE TO FEEL ABOUT ME ALL THE TIME.


Okay working tomorrow then basically two weeks off. Yes, get another job, yes relax x 10000, yes get out of the city, yes read a book, yes not party forevs all the time to the extreme (hopefully?)...


First, sleepingtime

don't leave me tilda swinton

BIG SIGHS


Ummmm, also, if I were to adopt a kitten from the page of available cats I would for sure pick the one named "Merry Legs" based on name alone. For sure.

rainydays sunnytimes

I'm paralyzed by how much I'm enjoying my nails right now. It's hard to work.



The sky's going dark again. I was liking how it was raining and very sunny out. My neighbour and I were exchanging notes over facebook on the people scurrying by in the rain. Pretty funny.



These next few pictures are from last week or maybe the week before of Steamboat Sundays at Dakota.

But don't worry, last night looked pretty much the same. I'm so happy that we have another awesome band taking over Sundays there now The Beauties aren't around. Makes for a pretty sweet danceparty.

Also the gang also comes out for this band. Many bffs to party down with.

Accost was up to her usual tricks and the best was her swinging a sober Miss Lindeman around the dance floor. So awkward and awesome.



Was it a full moon last night? I feel like things got messier than expected?

Evidence:



More evidence:



Yep, definitely got cheersed way too hard by a somewhat (EXTREMELY) liquored-up Cpt. Heh.



Woooooooooooooooo.

OH YEAH ALSO:
Captain Heh hit my pint in my hand MULTIPLE times and spilled beer all over. The last time was especially hard, splashing beer down my front, down my legs, even down the back of my neck!
Then outside Slippers was fighting Cpt. and he threw one of his slippers at Cpt., who ducked, and so it hit me! In the chest and the neck!
Everyone is getting good, hard, sober punches when I see them next.

Messy, messy.


Hey, kittens, thanks for making the tear in my screen ever so much more extreme!

No, I do miss your faces stupid brats. That little dumb one, especially.

Oh, yeah, that reminds me, Deck says in my videos how the shitty microphone gives me a lisp makes me sound like a retarded puppy.
Perfect.
