And Now, Boys and Girls...

Well yeah, not much to say today. I guess I am just too stressed to really have the energy to write anything witty for all of you. So, I am just going to take a little hiatus from this for awhile. I'll be back though... Peace...

And Now For Some Fun

I just finished a little something you all may like. You can now take a quiz to see which Cast Character from my past cast lists you are! Check it out...

Which TDF Cast Character Are You?

Check it out... Peace...

And On The Second Day, He Rested

This is rather nice. I checked out a laptop from the library and I am currently clicking away and talking to Nick without having to stress about the hourly time limit at the terminals. Add to it that for once I don't have some crazy homeless guy sitting next to or across from me. Definately a bonus if I don't say so myself.

So yeah, I am now about a thousand times more stressed out than I was when I went to sleep last night. I just realized that I have two rather large exams on Monday. Not too bad, I have plenty of time to prepare. The only problem is that they are BOTH in my upper division Engish courses. Arghh! Will the stress ever go away, or is this what being an adult is like? I swear my hair is turning grey. Sigh... But! Good stuff is happening as well...

Forging new friendships as usual. But this time, I am getting help from Derrick, whos friend Jenny is now part of the "distract myself from HW by using AIM" crew. She is totally groovie from what I have gotten out of her so far. But we shall see. You all know my view on women who appear awesome at first. Ok... random tangent. I have just found out the perils of checking out a laptop. There is a group of 4 or 5 Japanese students talking rather loudly and laughing even louder just to my left. (I know they are Japanese because of the Dragonball Z comics one of them is reading.) ::rolls eyes:: And to my direct left is a gentleman playing Star Wars on his computer and having all of his little friends come by and say hi... Ugh...

Last night was a night I really needed. I worked on the song a little, and called in ill to rehearsal so I could rest since I wasn't feelin too hot. So I got a fair amount of work done, but mostly got ro relax. Well, at least I got to relax until the 8th inning of the Cubs game when that freaking idiot got in the way of Alou catching that foul ball. I am still mad. The Cubs are basically my 2nd favorite team behind the Brewers. I like the underdogs. So after that, I decided to go to bed. Got about 8 hours of solid sleep, and I feel so much better now. Ahhh... I also do not have rehearsal tonight! And since I have two rather easy classes tomorrow, tonight will be spent REALLY relaxing. I am going to watch the two games on TV, eat a nice big dinner, get a little HW done and start preping for those two tests, and get a nice full nights sleep. Sounds like heaven to me. Then its back to rehearsal tomorrow night. God, I cannot believe we are already going to be moving into the theatre next week. Time has flown past. We open in 22 days, wow... You all better come and check us out! We are quite a talented bunch. I just hope I can pull this off, considering I am the rookie here...

Well, I am pretty much running out of things to say. So I will end it here. Take care. Drop me a line and make me feel loved. Peace...

Spray Down The Keyboard First...

Well, I was psyched about typing this, my first post in few days. But just before I was about to sit down at this terminal, I walked past it and noticed the person still using it was watching porn and suspiciously had his hand in his pocket. Ohh great, and had already reserved this terminal, so I was stuck. Yuk... So yeah, I wiped down the keyboard with a paper towel before I sat down. I think I will be sandblasting my hands as soon as I am done. On to more sanitary subjects...

School, the play and life in general go on as usual. We are getting costumes all set for the show. Thankfully I won't have to worry about a wig, I pity the women in the cast for having to deal with those things. We had an awesome cast party on Saturday. Good food, full bar (which some took advantage of more than others...), played a little guitar, (Not Lenny acoustic style, weird...) and just had a blast. Thanks to The Tawneys for hosting us. Debbie Tawney specifically deserves a huge thank you for getting all our dance routines typed up for us to refer to in case of brain fart. Very cool.

The band looks like it might be getting off its ass and back in to the studio soon to finish the album. Which is really nice, considering that I wrote one HELL of a song yesterday, which I would like to get on the album. Add to that, I may have gotten a drummer. My friend Doug from my PHIL 9 class, (who is in the band Nuralisis, check em out...), has a buddy who is interested in us. So, hey, we will see.

Other than all that, things have been rather ordinary for yours truly. School sucks, rehearsals are exhausting but fun, the music drives on, and I continue on with life as usual. Yep, nothing all too deep to say! I put all that kind of stuff in the song I wrote last night. I don't really want to reveal my latest creation to anyone other than the band and other very close people who I will call on to offer me their opinions. So please dont ask! If you want to hear it, you will have to wait. Mwahaha...

As for now Daily Farmerians, I am off to relax my noggin before my Jazz class. I hope all is well in your little slice of this big rock we call Earth. Hmmm, I wonder how Melanie is doing in the UK... If you are a friend of hers and you are reading this, tell her I said hey, and give her a big sloppy kiss from me. Even better, tell her I send my "salutations". It just might make her giggle. Peace...

Homebase

Good Morning yaal! It's a rare at-home post from yours truly. Usually I don't do this because it is just a source of frustration for me. My computer freezes a lot, which makes me have to start all over unless I save it before a freeze. Just gonna keep on truckin...

I've got a nice full day ahead of me. Gonna clean up my room a bit then head off to rehearsal from 12-4. Then it is off to a cast party in San Martin until god only knows when. Our dance captian Debbie is throwing this little suaree, so big up to her! I wouldn't have the guts to host 30 musical theatre crazies in my house! It has been a blast working with these people, and I am looking forward to two more months with them. It will be a bittersweet day when this production is over.

It was a fairly busy week here in Farmer-land. Lots of studying and tests to do at school. But thankfully, it is now the weekend. I have the party tonite, and I may be hitting up the SJSU Homecoming game versus SMU as well. We will just have to see. Sunday will be my HW day, so all those with any plans of taking time from me then, please do! I can educate myself in other ways.

Well ladies and gentlemen, I am off to begin my day. Have a good one. Drop me a line sometime. Ohh and wish me luck, I have to wage battle with the leprechauns that live in my hamper this morning. I may not come back alive... Ohh, random tangent. I restrung and cleaned up my 12-string guitar yesterday. She sounds so awesome. I love this axe... Peace...

Without Further Ado...

Well howdy everyone. Haven't updated in a few days, missed me? I sure hope so... But now it is back to the old grind of school after a rather nice weekend. It was a very balanced weekend. Went and saw Anna in her production of Bye Bye Birdie over at SCP with Derrick and Tony (who plays Barnaby in Hello Dolly. Anna plays Irene Malloy in our production. By the way, she did a great job.) A great time was had by all. Saturday was a very long day of rehearsal, followed by dinner with the family and an early sack time for yours truly. Very much needed I must say. As for Sunday, after a day of homework and getting assorted chores done, I indulged in a little bit of local punk at The Outhouse in Los Gatos. It was a truly awesome show.
5606 opened up fairly strong, even though I am not the biggest fan of pop-punk. Then came Solemite; really good. I then took a break and headed out to grab some fresh air and sit out the next band, Moonlife. They had this sort of Depeche Mode sound to them... so I wasn't really diggin it. I was talkin to a few fellow musicians, including Scott formerly of several local bands, Morgan formerly of Mishap and Mike from ShitOuttaLuck. It was a sort of punk/ska United Nations in a way. Sorta surreal. Best part is that Morgan, Scott and myself may be starting up a little project. Perhaps a resurrection of One Year Stand? We will just have to wait and see. With Suburban Legends hitting the stage next, we decided to head on in. I must say, they rocked so hard. I was floored. And I haven't been truly floored since I saw Less Than Jake for the first time waaaay back in the day. With one of the strongest and nuttiest horn sections I have ever seen, they stole the show from headliners MU330. But good ol' MU didn't let us down. They threw down and knocked us on our asses. I was in skankin heaven. All in all a great night indeed.

Well, it is about that time folks. Time to write the CAST OF CHARACTERS for the fall. Lights please? Thank you...

The WVLO Crew:

Derrick "Mr. Bloom" Diazoni: With a crazy penchant for Orlando Bloom and all things Lord of the Rings, Derrick brings a smile and a nutty sort of energy to the rehearsal hall.

Tony "Dancin Foo" Feenan: Competing against this guy for the role of Barnaby was a futile fight. He owns that role. Not to mention this guy is a post-rehearsal Taco Bravo fiend. Good food, but I swear you lose 12 minute of your life for every burrito you eat from there.

Anna "You call me a freak?" Traina: Total nutcase. Thats all there is to it. Well that and she is a ton of fun. She breaks the monotony of rehearsals with her random spaz attacks, not to mention her show stopping voice.

Shawna "Groovin Picasso" Downs: Adding to the local nuttery, Shawna plays Minnie Fay all too well. She can always be counted on for random bursts of dance during a boring moment at the rehearsal hall along with her cartoon rederings of the cast members.

Caitlin "Ceara" Baiko: Still the good old buddy and confidant, Ceara makes her bi-monthly showing at the nail salon by my house so we can talk and catch up since talking any other time is utterly impossible due to life as it is. A voice of reason and advice amongst chaos.

Kendra "You're not drunk!" Cohn: The rodeo gal pal has returned to the scene, somewhat. Its just a matter of my getting my butt down there to SLO or her coming home. An unparalelled drinking buddy and ear to vent on.

Not Lenny Crew: Still around. Yep. Nick, Matt, Frankie, Dave and Matt D and myself are still truckin along on the album. Fun stuff. We hope to get our asses out to play some shows soon.

SJSU and around-town/misc. Crew: Esker from Kappa sig, Lizzie, Susan, Amy and the other schoolies are all still around making my everyday walks to class, and sometimes my text messaging activities in class, more interesting. Also still making their marks are Emily from UCSC (still the very welcome voice of dissention amongst "order" and co-punkska-conspirator), Julia from LA who had better come see my play, and Melanie who is in the UK until December, and of course Kat from NY who has been rendered insance due to work and lack of leaving the penninsula of Booth Bay. God help her. Add to that the SDSU freaks and the CSUN nuts lead by Zac in all this goofy glory, and we have a fun packed semester ahead.

Well, that about does it for now. More to be added on later once I have something wise-ass to say about them. If you arent on there, dont cry, I just dont have something clever about you yet. Lemme know and I will think of something! Other than all that, I am off to get few odds and ends done around here. I hope all is well in your worlds. And hey, dont be a stranger, mail me. Im not bothering with linking shit here... Peace...

Kiss Me, I'm Irish

I would just like to say that I am one lucky son-of-a-bitch. This morning on KSJO, I won two tickets to Godsmack at the Warfield. They were playing this game called Liars Club where they set up a scenario and you have to off the cuff lie like you fit into it. I had to lie like I was a porn star. They asked me things like "Does your female partner have good hygene?" and "What is the name of the film?" Well... yours truly must be a pretty good liar, because I was the best out of the four contestants and I won myself the tickets! Sweet... Only problem is I cant go. Ohh well. Lucky me huh.... Its all good, chock it up to the good karma kickin in a little something for yours truly.

I am so tired. Like seriously exhausted. I have been burning the candle at both ends as of late with rehearsals and school. Lack of sleep, but an elevated social life have taken a toll on me. Its fun, but seriously draining. Now I know why rock stars are drug addicts. Speaking of rockin...

Not Lenny may be returning to studio as soon as sunday. Yay... more stress. Its fun though, and working with Dave and Nick and the other assorted characters that come meandering through the studio is always a blast. Well I am off to my last class of the day. Boring as hell, shoot me now.... Peace...
