I've been listening to the soundtrack everyday and the Bet on It choreography still makes me laugh every time i watch it. My sister bought me an HSM shirt at walmart, im gonna wear it because "im not gonna stop, thats who i am". and i wanted to switch my wed night class so that i can see vanessa hudgens and rilo kiley at jimmy kimmel next week, but i dont want to change it to fridays, i was hoping that the whole HSM cast would be there just like the superbad cast would be there when one of them was being interviewed.
wth my brother just told me that universal studios is taking out the back to the future ride, first the ET ride and now that one.
im already sleepy and i have to wake up early tomorrow for class. the heat wont let me sleep. ive been sleeping on the tile floor right next to the front door and peewee but then that makes my back hurt.

I found a kitten in my neighbor's garden that I cannot keep, so I need to find it an owner. I'm not sure of the gender but it sure is cute. I can't keep it because my dad does not like cats so if any one wants it reply here or call me at (323)810-5249.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Worlds collide in Shakespeare’s most lyrical comedy. Deep in a forest outside of Athens, a group of tradesmen rehearse a play to celebrate the wedding of Duke Theseus. Alongside them, in the shadows, lovers and fairies seek to unravel the mysteries of the human heart.

Richard II
Richard is an inattentive king, detached from his subjects, wasteful with his nation's resources, and too preoccupied with Italian fashions. His cousin, unfairly exiled, is bent for justice. Can Richard's eloquence protect his throne against a populist uprising led by the charasmatic Bolingbroke?

Macbeth
Enter a realm where witches wreak havoc on the minds of men, the dead invite themselves to dinner, and Macbeth discovers that once he opens the gates of hell, he can not swing them shut.

Guest Performance: Julius Caesar.

Tuesday, August 14, throughout the day
A variety of performance workshops for all experience levels. (Please note, there will be a minimal participation fee.)

ISC Staged Reading: The Knight of the Burning Pestle
Wednesday, August 15, 7:30 pm
In the first full-length dramatic satire written in English, no one is safe from the barbs of author Francis Beaumont. First published in 1611, complex wordplay and ribald humor join forces to mock both those who go to theater as well those who perform in it. (May not be suitable for young children.)

ISC Staged Reading: Arden of Faversham
Wednesday, August 22, 7:30 pm
Ripped from the headlines! This Elizabethan domestic drama (whose authorship is unknown and is sometimes attributed to Shakespeare) was the first play in the English language to be based on a true, contemporary event: the murder of wealthy businessman Thomas Arden in his own home, a crime for which his wife and her lover were convicted. First published in 1592, this comedy-thriller has been delighting audiences ever since. (Probably not suitable for young children.)

ISC Staged Reading: ‘Tis Pity She’s A Whore
Wednesday, August 29, 7:30 pm
With a plot rivaling anything ancient Rome has to offer, incestuous love leads to murder and dismemberment in John Ford’s play. Controversial until well into the 20th century, this intensely passionate play ends with one of the most disturbing images ever conjured in the theater. (Most definitely not suitable for young children.)

i tried posting this video directly from youtube but its not working.

at 3 minutes, my brother.
at least jimmy said he was a big fan since he does go everyday

"Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me, said
'Virgil, quick, come and see, there goes Robert E. Lee!'
Now I don't mind choppin' wood,
and I don't care if the money's no good.
Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest,
But they should never have taken the very best."

I bought my airplane ticket today, I arrive Wednesday May 9 at 4pm. Hard to believe that the school year is almost over, three weeks left of school. I think this semester went by faster because I went home and I enjoyed 2.5 of my classes as opposed to 1 last semester.

Wednesday I was in a group with the older woman in my communications class:

-You're like one of the quietest persons I’ve ever met.

  You’re so quiet.

  Are you the type of person is quiet around people but that jabbers when you meet them?

-…..sometimes.

-I wish my kids were like that, they talk like crazy

 (then she proceeds to talk like crazy.)

 

Later when I try to contribute to the group no one hears me because she is talking. I would’ve spoken louder but I didn’t care, she was talking about her rings anyways, nothing to do with the assignment.

I have the bad habit of looking at peoples faces when they are talking, their eyes and the movement of their mouth. I don’t like it when people stare at me but I can’t help myself and do the same. Mostly because if I don’t, then I stop paying attention. But I can tell when I make ppl feel uncomfortable, or so I think, I can feel when ppl are looking at me. Like today when George was talking and he caught me I quickly looked away. And then Ben picked me to present because he saw me looking at him when he had to choose. Well that is why I don’t look at teachers when they ask a question or about to pick on someone. But sometimes I am daydreaming/thinking and people think I’m staring at them and they give me dirty looks but in reality I was facing them but not looking at them.

I'll do what you ask, on one condition:

                   

You keep your money and you take me with you.

    

No.

                 

I'm the only one who can get you out of here.



-You're—



-I know.

I'm a queer, a fairy, a pouf, huh?

But there's one thing you forgot.

You may have been framed,

as you say you were...

...but I wasn't.

Between the two of us...

...I'm the one who's killed a man, not you.









I didn’t get to finish watching Papillon but I
still liked it and Escape from Alcatraz, I
should watch AMC more often

-working on a paper i dont want to do.

did you really think i was sleeping night after goddam night when you slipped out of your bed and threw on a coat over you? did you think i didnt hear you starting your car that you never put in the garage but left in front of the house? how many kinds of a fool do you take me for? every? ALL? and near daybreak, did you think i didnt hear you coming back? sometimes the hanger dropping in the closet? your slipping demurely back into your bed, your, your satisfied sighs of?

call me that, but remember that youre denouncing a side of yourself, denied by you! and remember this too. youd enter my bed at daybreak, and tired as i was, i never refused myself to you, the vendor of silk that was secret! i probably knew that he knew.
(cutting through her line above) give me the five minutes, all i need, to look proper for this occasion.

mr.conley, do you want to be assisted to your room?
i think i will stay here till my wife returns from.

hmm i had some black tea and it was really good, esp when i have the perfect combination of milk and honey

kinda late but still classes for this semester:

Elements of Design 8:00-9:50 Tues &Thurs.
class is okay, miss ms.lee, i hate going on days that the class critiques each other, esp since my art teacher told me im too neat and need to get messier so that just fucks up whatever im doing cuz im trying to be "rude" to my art and not so polite (like my teacher told me) but im never happy with it, i want to take photography but i had to take this intro class first and since my counselor is still kinda new he didnt know that i didnt have to take this class cuz i got a 4 on my portfolio but now im stuck there.

Intro to Communications 2:30-3:50 Mon &Weds
hmm i have a 7-10 page paper due next week that i have yet to start, did little reasearch on it. the teacher is nice and we've been reading plato, i havent finished reading it but shouldve by now, need to tie it in with my paper. class is mostly freshmen so no one really participates and i feel bad for the teacher when shes trying to get ppl to say something. theres this one lady who always participates, shes married has kids and was in the army, very opinionated, was behind her in line one time in the cafe and outta nowhere tells me to speak up more and i said "in class?" cuz ive never spoken to her outside of class and she told me "no just in general" i wanted so ninja kick her in the stomach

Latin American Narrative 1-2:20 Tues &Thurs
old man teacher is funny, kinda reminds me of brownell, but her jokes were cruder and funnier, miss her too. like the stories were reading, even though ive read some of them before, but he also goes through the history of the country and writer so we understand where the writer is coming from, i wouldnt pay attn in the beginning but i am more now. theres two other stephanies in that class, cept one of them goes by estefania and i happen to sit next to her so when he calls on a stephany im never sure which one of us it is cuz my parents would call me estefania sometimes

Voice and Diction 11-11:50 Mon, Wed,Thurs,Fri
teacher is kinda intimidating cuz hes a theatre teacher and expects all of us to be out there but the class is improving my speaking habits, well at least when i have to speak in that class but im not so sure outside of class cuz i havent been paying attn. the ta is also very nice, i like her. my group in my class in driving me nuts cuz they never want to meet and were supposed to like once or twice a week and last week when i told them we needed to meet and no one could till like 7, one guy was like oh wait what time is lost? i wanted to sock him in the face cuz who the fuck expects everyone else to meet at a time that is convenient for him and his tv shedule? we ended up meeting earlier so im sure he was happy about that

oh yeah for my classes i almost took philosophy, intro to american politics or enviromental science, but they didnt fit in my schedule, maybe next year, wherever i end up

Breaking News: Forget "Dead Man's Chest." Johnny Depp has just boarded a fascinating new film project called "How the Dead Love," an animated film that mines four short stories from the hard-living poet and quintessentially L.A. novelist, Charles Bukowski.

What's more, he's doing it with Gabor Csupo, the Hungarian-born animator and producer behind the first three seasons of "The Simpsons," as well as the subsequent Nickelodeon hit shows and movies "Rugrats" and "The Wild Thornberrys."

This weekend, Csupo's first-ever live action film, "Bridge to Teribithia," -- an adaptation of the family-friendly Katherine Paterson book of the same name -- will open nationwide for Fox and Walden Media. But he's not done with animation yet; Csupo's screenwriter on "Teribithia," Jeff Stockwell ("The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys), helped fashion the new "Dead Love" script, which was originally penned by another prototypical Angeleno novelist and screenwriter, Bruce Wagner ("I'm Losing You").

Bukowski would be proud, largely because "Dead" is not a Saturday morning cartoon. Csupo tells TMZ that "How the Dead Love" is very much for grown-ups and more akin in tone to R. Crumb's ribald '70s animation classic, "Fritz the Cat" than, say, the Thornberrys' family-friendly "Darwin the Chimp." (Crumb, fittingly, was a frequent Bukowski collaborator, illustrating such iconic books as "There's No Business" and "The Captain is Out to Lunch and the Sailors Have Taken Over the Ship").

Depp will voice the main character of the film, and will also produce it with Csupo via Depp's own production company, Infinitum Nihil, which is part of the Warner Bros.-based film finance company, Initial Entertainment.
