Woo hoo! Feel the burn! Yet another “It’s All The Same” rowing workout. I’m exhausted, but I feel good about myself, so all is right with the world. I shall prod buttock when I perform this song next.
::picks off Your-Site employees one by one::
BITE ME.
They’ve sent me an email confirming that they received the new payment. So where’s my domain?
Meanwhile, all my email is bouncing and I can’t touch my files. I’m so sick of this stupid host.
The Internet Book List — rather like the Internet Movie Database, but with paper, rather than celluloid. A website clearly frequented by those of excellent taste, as the top five ranked authors are (in order) J.R.R. Tolkien, Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, Isaac Asimov, and Terry Pratchett. Huzzah.
I just got an email back from Your-Site, and they tell me that the billing department only works weekdays. TNM.n will be restored on Monday. ::sigh::
I am such a t00b. Because I’ve been having some difficulty trying to loudly belt out “It’s All the Same” whilst energetically table-dancing, I decided to give myself some practice trying to sing while physically exerting myself*. So I spent the last 15 minutes on my dad’s rowing machine, singing along with my CD player, “It’s All the Same” set on “repeat”. I could have made myself do more, but my voice was giving out, so I decided not to overexert myself. Tomorrow, I’ll do it again, and over time, perhaps I’ll be able to increase the duration or intensity. And I’ll put a lot more time into memorizing the dance, outside of rehearsals. I have the steps down, more or less, but they’re still way too awkward. It needs to be much more fluid before I can start adding character depth.
Come April 30th, I will ownz this number. Yo.
Yes, singing is quite a workout in itself. Let’s say “physical exertion in addition to the strain of singing.” Does that make you happier?
CoL is now temporarily hosted at http://cultoflincoln.blogspot.com/ until Your-Site.com gets their act together and processes my credit card payment. Grrr. Can’t they understand that I haven’t checked my AOL email in months, and that if they need to contact me over billing issues, they should email one of my tnm.n accounts? Hiss. I hope they have employees that work on weekends.
Bwee! Brian Flemming, co-author of Bat Boy: The Musical, has a blog! ::pops:: And Bat Boy is one of the featured albums on mp3.com. Glee!
Although I’m surprised to see credit given to Flemming instead of Laurence O’Keefe, who wrote the music and lyrics. Most likely, O’Keefe just doesn’t have a website. ::shrugs::
Perfect. Bloody. Timing.
The day after my sister loses our credit card and my dad cancels the number, Your-Site.com chooses to try to process the next year of webhosting. Because they sent the invoices to my old AOL account, which I never check, I didn’t know about it until they cancelled my service. Ugh. And I still haven’t gotten the new credit card number. Fortunately, my mom took pity and let me use her credit card, which has a different number from the card I share with my dad and sister. Grrr. Feeling v. cross.
This evening, I went to Urseline’s production of The Music Man, which was great. I still hold sacred “How to Succeed” as the greatest show in the history of high school theatre, and I still hold precious our 8th grade production of the show, but I have to say, their rendition was way too much fun. Nathan, who has been with me in “Ten Little Indians”, “Dark of the Moon”, and now “Man of La Mancha” played Marcellus, and he was hilarious. He and Harold had absolutely boundless amounts of energy — they were like ferrets on pixie sticks. Harold’s energy was downright Preston-esque. And Nathan looked like he had stepped off the set of “Newsies”, especially in his dance in “Shipoopi” and “The Sadder But Wiser Girl”.
The quartet was played by four Urseline teachers, which was quite amusing. And it didn’t help that I kept getting the urge to sing the bass part.
But their Eulalie Shinn couldn’t even begin to compare with Marcelina’s performance four years ago. Schlien completely stole the show. Meanwhile, this show was stolen by a 6-year-old extra, an adoreable little girl that looked and behaved remarkably like I did when I was that age. Watch out, kid. XD Her movements during “Wells Fargo Wagon” were so exaggerated and adoreable! And when Constable Locke brought Harold in front of the town meeting in handcuffs, she ran up to him and kicked him in the ankle, then ran back to her mother. Too. Utterly. Cute.
In other news, my “B” key is close to dying. If a word in here ever doesn’t make sense, try adding strategic b’s and see if that words.
