The Brady Bunch

Yay for extremely late (or early) postings!  Now I'll bore whoever stumbles upon this with details on my day.  Today was pretty good, it rained quite hard most of the day and it's still coming down pretty hard now.  I played this awesomely awesome game on Miniclips called Youda Camper which was so awesome I had to get my mom to buy the full version.  Then I made copies of the flier for the AC/DC show and dropped some off at my friends' houses.  I watched some Ocean Force: Huntington Beach, which is quite fun, and a little MAD TV.  Then I watched America's Funniest Home Videos and My Fair Brady: Maybe Baby (I swear, Adrienne Curry is psychotic.)  I also was super duper excited to discover that they show Johnny Bravo on Boomerang!  I used to love that cartoon.  Hmm...then I went to get some groceries and took a shower...played some Elevator Action on the Wii...organized all of the mail I've been receiving from colleges...put on my awesome new bedsheets...and now I'm doing some homework so I don't have to do it all tomorrow.

I've also discovered something quite interesting (to me, at least).  If I go to sleep at midnight, I will sleep until 11 or 12, which would be 11 or 12 hours of sleep.  If I go to sleep at 7 AM, however, I will wake up at 2 or 3 PM, which would be 7 or 8 hours of sleep.  So by going to sleep at 7 AM I am actually more productive because I seem to require less sleep that way.  I guess I just hate mornings so much that my body refuses to get up!  So yeah, now my life revolves around me going to bed at 7 AM and getting up at 2 or 3.  It works for me!

Back to homework since I have to go to bed in 2 1/2 hours, ugh.

Shoot To Thrill

Oh man.  I have to have that.

It's Raining Again

Oh, it's raining again,
Oh no, my love's at an end.
Oh no, it's raining again,
And you know it's hard to pretend.
Oh no, it's raining again,
Too bad I'm losing a friend.
Oh no, it's raining again,
Oh, will my heart never mend?

You're old enough some people say,
To read the signs and walk away,
It's only time that heals the pain,
And makes the sun come out again.
It's raining again,
Oh no, my love's at an end.
Oh no, it's raining again,
Too bad I'm losing a friend.

La, la, la... 

C'mon you little fighter,
No need to get uptighter.
C'mon you little fighter,
And get back up again.

It's raining again,
Oh no, my love's at an end.
Oh no, it's raining again,
Too bad I'm losing a friend.
Oh!  Oh!

La, la, la... 

C'mon you little fighter,
No need to get uptighter.
C'mon you little fighter,
And get back up again.
Oh, get back up again.
Oh, fill your heart again...

(It's raining, it's pouring,)
(The old man is snoring.)
(He went to bed and bumped his head,)

(And he couldn't get up in the morning.)

Aaaaanyways, it is raining.  That makes me happy, I love rain =D  There was thunder and lightning earlier too!  Ahhh so exciting!  Hmm...sooo tomorrow (erm, today) I might go to see and episode of Beauty And The Geek be filmed.  Otherwise it's homework, drumming, TV, and video games, which is pretty nice when it's raining.  Well, all except the homework part.  I have a chapter of history, 2 chapters of science, a chapter of English, and an essay to write.  Yippee.  Hmm...I was playing Super Mario Galaxy but one of the levels in the Trial Galaxy was really pissing me off so I gave up for the night.  Ooooh and I had band rehearsal tonight...I'm getting so excited!  We have fliers printed up for the show and there are only 2 rehearsals left before it, ahhh!  I'm kinda nervous because it'll be my first show with me playing the drums but I'm feeling very confident.  The director says I'm doing great and today the best drummer at the school gave me the thumbs-up, haha.  That's a pretty good compliment in my opinion.  But yeah...AC/DC is pretty sweet...here's to Girl's Got Rhythm and Sin City, my songs!

This blog was very random and boring.  I apologize, nonexistent readers.

Prepare the transit beam...

Woo!  I got my firewire cord for my camera!  So I've been busy transferring my footage.  I plan on making my Hollywood As One video tonight and uploading it before no one cares anymore haha.  Other than thaaaat...homework...reading Everybody Hurts (hilarious)...getting ready for the AC/DC show which is crawling closer ahhh!  And watching the final season of The Brady Bunch...I also started Quantum Leap so I think I'll watch the first season of that next.  I have no idea why I love that show so much, but I do.

Time to edit!

Come up to the lab, and see what's on the slab...

No posts for a week (or so)!  My apologies to all of you faithful, nonexistent readers.  I've been running all over the Southern California area doing all sorts of fun things.  Hmm...so last we spoke I had gone to the roller derby, I believe (and I'm too lazy to check).  So...Wednesday I found out that my dad had finally actually gotten little old me a NAMM badge!  Woo-hoo!  So Thursday I got up super duper early (yes, 8 is ultra uber super early to me) and headed down to good old Anaheim.  I spent the entire day there and it was awesome...so many cool things to see and it's so BIG!  I was exhausted by the time the day was over.  Friday I slept in a little and didn't wake up until 11, and since I got there so late parking was full.  I had to park in the freaking Downtown Disney lot and hoof it all the way to the convention center.  It had to have been at least a mile and the sun was out so I wasn't happy.  But then I got there and got some video of Slash so that was cool.  Saturday I got up at 10 and headed out to Hollywood for the second annual As One YouTube gathering.  That was so much fun!  It was awesome to meet all of my fellow YouTubers.  After that I headed out to Anaheim again which was the drive from HELL because the freeways were backed up so I had to take surface streets so it took me like an hour and a half to get there.  Luckily I had the GPS thingy so I wasn't completely lost.  I ended up getting down there too late to go into the actual show but I ate at Coco's and then saw some of my fellow School Of Rock-ers at a show at the Marriott.  Then Sunday, I was planning on getting up and heading down and spending the entire day there but I was so exhausted I slept until 1 and then just headed down for a couple of hours.  All-in-all, it was a great four days and hopefully I'll get to go back again some year.  I got some neat stuff too, like a teeny tiny working harmonica, some custom fit earplugs which I am expecting in the mail, an awesome portable practice pad, and four new sets of drumsticks with cool patterns on them.

Now that I've bored you with my life, I'm going to watch an episode or two of the Brady Bunch and then get some sleep, as I have to do ALL of my homework tomorrow since I've been so busy and I have to go get a freaking cable to connect my video camera to my computer because I have discovered that the USB cable is only for transferring still images.  What a pain in the ass.

Oh, and if you have absolutely no idea what NAMM is, like most people, click on the title of this entry and you'll get the short and sorta boring Wikipedia definition since I'm too lazy to explain it.  But let me tell you, it is insanely awesome.

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling

I just returned from my first roller derby, and let me say I am HOOKED. Watching people being flung around onto concrete floors and into chairs is very entertaining! This game was between the world-famous T-Birds and the Renegades (who are so important that when I asked the referee where they were from he had no idea). My favorite team member was Opie Simpson, number 9 for the T-Birds, because he did handstands and wore a bandana, haha. I even got a picture with him (above)! The T-Birds lost by one point, 74 to 75 =( I plan on going back next month though. There's a game next weekend too but I'll be at the YouTube meet-up!

Now, it's back to listening to the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack and reading Everybody Hurts (which is hilarious).

Oh, and if you click on the title of this post you can see the T-Birds' website!

Helter Skelter

Greetings. Today's post is brought to you by the Special K diet, because I have completed my first official day on it. Yay! It ain't half bad, either.

Hmm...haven't posted recently due to my best friend being in town from Arizona and me being out and about with her on a daily basis having a good time. Ahh...good times.

New video up soon? Maybe? Hopefully? Maybe I'll just be lazy and put up a video of me and Keri and Christina playing Imaginiff. We'll see.

Urgh. And this year the YouTube gathering is on the Saturday that's the same weekend as the NAMM show! Oh well, I bet my dad forgot to get passes anyway. I think I'll call him Rocky from now on, "So named for the rocks in his head!" Anyone who figures out what movie that's from gets a cookie and a big hug.

And finally, here's a quote from another favorite movie that I've mangled into something else. Bonus points if you figure out where this one originated from, too.

A Dream Sequence

Amy: Who are you?

Lucy: I'm lucille ball.

Amy: Cool! Who's she? *Points at the naked Indian.*

Lucy: A weird naked Indian.

Amy: Cool. Why have you brought me here?

Lucy: To help you find some answers, Amy.

Amy: Answers to what?

Lucy: Ask me a question.

Amy: Okay, two trains are traveling at 100 miles per hour, one from Chicago, one from Los Angeles...

Lucy: No, ask me a question about your life.

Amy: What am I supposed to do with my life?

Lucy: You should open a theater in West Hollywood, Amy.

Amy: How will I get the customers to come?

Lucy: If you show movies, they will come.

Amy: But I don't know how to run a theater!

Lucy: You must go to Arizona and find a woman named Keri, she was the greatest friend that ever lived. She was with me in the good times and the bad. She will help you. Any more questions?

Amy: Yes, will I ever get the box of purses I ordered?

Lucy: The seller was a lazy jackass. It will arrive as soon as you open a paypal dispute along with a sample of perfume and a box of pads.

Amy: How do I get back?

Lucy: Follow the weird naked indian.

Amy: Cool!
