Whatca doin' buyin' hairspray at 1 in da mornin'?

The girls, Elizabeth, Jasmine, and Allison, and I saw Hairspray! Because I got us tickets late, we didn't get to sit together. I got us one ticket in the 2nd row, one in the 3rd, and two in the 4th. I got the 2nd row seat and sat next to a large, buff man- funny because he started singing along with some of the songs which took me back a bit. When we got out, it was monsooning! Well, not really, but it was the hardest downpour I have ever been in. So, what do we decided to do? Go to Sonic, bien sûr! We all got milkshakes and sat around in the rain, in the cold, and in our tiny dresses, but just hanging out again was worth it! While driving back, Elizabeth, who was shot gun, yelled, "Whoa! I can't even see the road!" Thanks- I knew that- I was aware! (It was a quite nerve-racking drive back!) We had to park in the far RO lot when we got back to school, but, fortunately, we didn't have to wait long for the security shuttle to come get us. When we got in, the man looks at us (we are fancily dressed and a wee bit wet) and asks us where we've been. Jasmine says, "At Hairspray!" causing the man to whip around and question, "Whatca doin' buyin' hairspray at 1 in da mornin'? Couldn't that have waited 'til mornin'?" Nope... it couldn't've.

Spreading the Light

I recently had the opportunity to be a counselor for St. Micheal's Confirmation retreat. My girls were all sweet and very willing to share their stories with us. They even made on of the best raps out of all the groups! Remember to always be the light!

Anxious to see the Greatest Rappin’ Battle of all time: Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros

When Flight of the Conchords announced that they were going to have a United States national tour, I was both excited and nervous. Acts that I normally want to see usually do not make it anyway in the south. I checked their list and found out that they ARE coming to Atlanta… but only for one night! Needless to say, I was up at the library to buy tickets the moment they went on presale (yet again, I managed to find a magical code). April 11th, the day before Easter, I’m going to Atlanta to see New Zealand's fourth most popular comedy folk duo!

Spreading the Addiction

This past week, or, more accurately, this past Wednesday to Sunday, I stayed at my house to look after Codi whilst my parents were away in NYC. Bored out of my mind, I put in disc one of the first season of Alias. Codi came in, sat down, and started watching it with me. Now she’s hooked. I mean, really, really hooked. We ended up watching about eight episodes and are now on disc three. She wanted to watch more, but wasn’t a lot of the fun of Alias having to wait a whole week to find out how that cliffhanger would resolve? Oh! And gasping at those ads saying “Next time on Alias…?” Now, to be honest, Codi has it much better. She knows that there are five seasons (meaning Sydney can’t die in the first episode) whereas it was always on the verge of not coming back for us. I feel secrets wanting to burst out of me… but I know it’ll be more fun for her to discover them herself. Oh, I’m also not letting her watch them unless I’m home which will give her at least a week between shows now. Ha!

Wow. My time at home could've be spent quite productively. Instead, I just got another poor soul addicted to Alias. Oh well…
