What is your favorite holiday and why?

For some reason, mine is Thanksgiving. Oh, and Easter, but especially Thanksgiving. I have no clue why. It's always bad weather, all about food, and I'm mostly always working on some awful paper, but I still love it. Today was great. I'm over my weird illness, so I got to run the Drumstick Dash this morning. Nothing like a chasing a guy in a turkey suit for several miles in Broad Ripple in the rain! So fun. We did our meal at the Olivier's house like every other year, and I worked on 42 pages of revisions for my thesis from 2-9:30. All in all, a pretty great holiday:)

I think it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway: if you're reading this, I'm probably thankful for you:)

They ran a few old episodes from different seasons on bravo today. It got me thinking what guest judges would round out a perfect season for you. 14 judges.

here is my list.

1. Anthony Bourdain - I know he won't come back but pretty please with a cherry on top!

2. Eric Ripert - He's probably absent this season because of Jen I don't mind that but I want him back next season

3. Micheal Symon - because I think he is fun

4. Food Critic Jeffery Stiengarten - because he is so.... well, critical

5. Aaron Sanchez

6. Christina Tosi for a dessert challenge

7. Traci De Jardin

8. Cat Cora

9. Rick Bayless

10. Alton Brown

11. Mario Batali

12. John Besh

13. Neil Patrick Harris

14. Chris Cosentino

What are yours?

getting ready for my date with insomnia

Shadow faces reaching for me,
Pretending they know what's best for me,
But I know that I am their experiment,
I scare myself with paranoid talk.

Yesterday's hymn serves me not,
Tick tock tick tock tick tock.

I try to keep the whispered words at bay,
For they seem to feed into the mire,
I've lost all ability to make any choices,
I'm teetering in purgatory.

Yesterday's hymn serves me not,
Tick tock tick tock tick tock.

"Yesterday's Hymn" -- Queen Adreena

life has been interesting.
I got accepted at Colby-Sawyer and Rivier so far.
I really like Colby-Sawyer, but it's mad money.
This weekend was nice. Saturday I got to hang out all day with Zach for the first time since the summer!
Saturday Sarah and I went to the Harry Potter exhibition which was TOTALLY AWESOME!
School kinda sucks, I dunno why I'm doing so much shit.
Tomorrow on top of all the homework I have, i'm helping to paint the set for Little Shop, and after break I'm joining Academic Decathlon because they're doing the French Revolution and I'm a sucker. Oh and next wednesday is the Holiday Carnival which I signed NAHS up for...i hope i don't miss Glee.
Why am I so busy?
This weekend I hope I can get the rest of my shit sent out, write my thank you's, and get all my english hw done. As well as finish my piece of shit portfolio piece.
And I have to do it all without my Zachary bear to hug me when the stress boils me to the core...his nana died and he left for Pittsburgh for the week around 6 tonight.
Although his absence means I can make more plans with new people...but that's a little out of my comfort zone.
And I'm pretty damn excited to see TABBY!

lucky i'm in love with my best friend )

mischief managed!

Hi! I just stumbled on audition_help and boy am I desperate for help. I'm planning on auditioning for Drood next week and I'm aiming for Princess Puffer. I just transferred colleges and from what I've heard the show was practically cast when they chose it and they're just going through the formalities, so I need an AMAZING song if I want to have any hope at getting the part. If nothing else I want something that will make them remember me next time auditions role around. I'm comfortable singing alto and soprano, so I wouldn't object to a song with a few high notes, although I'd prefer it to mostly be low since Puffer is a contralto. Comedic songs would be preferable, but I wouldn't say no to a good noncomedic song. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

So... here's your story-of-the-day.

Last night I started getting that horrible feeling where you know you're sick but you can't do ANYTHING about it... shivery, headache, tired, ache-y, the works. I took a hot bath and got out, knew I was going to throw up, then did so. I felt GREAT afterwards. A couple hours later I went to go brush my teeth, started blacking out, hit my head on the counter and sprawled out across the sink, then completely blacked out and ended up on the floor. My mom and sister came in and woke me up. I went to the ER, they did a bunch of blood work and a CAT scan (I had to take out all 7 earrings!) and I got a saline drip so I'd be less dehydrated. I stayed until about 5 am, then my mom took me home and I sort of slept for a couple hours. I feel pretty good now, a little pathetic and weak but not too bad. I was going camping with John tonight... guess that's not happening! Grrrr.

Hi there! We're doing callbacks at my high school for Anything Goes. I REALLY want to get the part of Reno. I think I have a good shot because the directors know I can play characters in their 40s, I'm really "showy" so to speak, I can sing alto, and I'm a senior.
For callbacks, we have to sing the beginning and end of "I Get a Kick Out Of You" and the beginning of "Blow Gabriel Blow". We also have to read the scene between Reno and Billy that's right before "I Get a Kick Out Of You", and the scene where Reno is seducing Evelyn. I THINK we're doing the 1987 version, but I'm not certain.
I'm mainly have trouble with the seduction scene, since I've never acted in a scene like that before. Also, I keep finding different synopsises, so I'm not too sure about the meaning behind "I Get a Kick Out Of You." Help, and any other tips? Thanks in advance!
Oh, and one more thing. People don't normally memorize the material for the callbacks, and they don't give a preference about memorization. Should I memorize it anyway?

anyone else think the finale was retaped?

i get the suspicion that it will be retaped for a different outcome. i feel like this season was WAAAAAAAAAY off balance. instead of putting 15 chefs (or however many i dont know) all with similar or the same talents on the show, they put like 5 really talented chefs with like 10 medicore chefs. idk about anyone else but since day 1, i KNEW who the top 4 was gonna be... it's so shitty. we all know that 1 of the fucking (re)voltaggio brothers is gonna end up being top chef. i just feel like they didnt anticipate it would be so cut and dry by the end of mthe season... which makes me think they reshot the finale.

i feel like this season has drug on for a while. there was 1 week where they didnt show TC at all and another where they showed a reunion sit down with the past top chef people. when has bravo done that before? and not to mention that in the preview of the semi-finals... the chefs all have drastically different hair cuts... which makes me think it's been a few months from the shooting of tonights episode.

this is just what i think. what do you think?

This week so far is looking up, as compared to last week. Saturday was fun, with Monon Bell and all. I guess DP lost the game, but who cares? I had a really, really nice time with John:) Then the Colts game on Sunday night was pretty sweet. I don't typically watch football, but I did catch that game, and WHOO was it good! I got my psychology GRE scores yesterday morning and they were WAY better than I was expecting. I am almost completely finished with my applications now. I had a good session with Dr. Richardson, and I got a lot done on my seminar presentation and paper. I got a pretty blue hoodie from Target. Today I had a good appointment with Dr. Rouse and got my schedule for next semester- for once I got every single class I needed and wanted without having to get the special codes and all that. I guess being a second semester senior is finally good for something. I'm babysitting tonight. Life has given me 3 good days! Let's keep this up, shall we?
