Whee! My first day of work at my Senior Project went quite well. As part of our senior year, we have a week of unpaid internship at the company of our choice, and I chose Reel FX, a special effects and 3D animation studio based in Dallas. I’m rather enjoying myself! All the people there are great. And as evidence of the tinyness of the world, the receptionist, Rebecca Pense, moonlights as an actress, and she was part of the ensemble in the production of Bat Boy I saw the other night. I knew she looked familiar! XD
One of my mom’s friend’s friend’s sons is trying to do a movie of Ender’s Game this summer. And he saw my “student snapshot” article in the newspaper a few weeks ago, in which I mention that it’s one of my favourite books. He left me a message, wondering if I’d be interested in joining the project. I wonder if he already has cast Petra…
Whee! I just went and dug out our old Polaroid from storage, only to find that we had two packs of SX-70 Time Zero! Squee! ::plays with pretty images::
Ah! I forgot to mention that I finished The Eyre Affair (Jasper Fforde) the other day. I absolutely loved it! Highly recommended; five Percys out of five. Very witty and clever. So if you think you can trust my taste in literature, go read it now! ::skips off to read Lost in a Good Book, the sequel::
I wish my blog could be as exciting as this.
Went to Marksman Ball, the St. Mark’s equivalent of prom. T’was nice, but about twice as long as it needed to be. I would write more, but it’s 3AM. Afterwards, saw the Cowboy Bebop movie with Matt, Luke, Burkhead, Jennifer Hseih, and Jen’s date, which was absolutely fabulous! ::swoons over Spike:: Now I understand Monica’s obsession. All concurred that the DVDs of the series are highly rentable, especially since Luke said that the series was better than the movie, which is no mean feat.
Quote of the Evening, regarding the Bebop DVDs:
They price it so high because of demand. It’s in high demand, but for a very small number of people. There are only a few people that want it, but those that want it want it really, really bad. Like a vaccine for the Ebola virus. –Luke
Another reason why I love humanity.
Mmmm, pie. In a jar.
My fandom endorses bestiality, and I’m not talking about Discworld. I finally got to see Bat Boy: The Musical this evening, and it was utterly fabulous. At first, I was disappointed, as the voices weren’t as good as those on the OOBCR and the music wasn’t loud enough. I started worrying that the play was falling flat, and that all would get a poor first impression and no one would understand my love for the show. But in the intermission, when all my friends started gushing about how much they loved it, all the fears went away. I was able to enjoy it a lot more, myself. Huzzah! And we got to meet the actors who played Parker and Edgar afterwards — I got them to autograph my script — and all was keen.
If I feel compelled to, I’ll probably post a more detailed review later on.
After Bat Boy, about half of us went on to see The Matrix: Reloaded, which was so intense that I can hardly think about it in my 2:30-AM I-should-be-asleep-right-now state. More tomorrow, I suppose.
In the meantime, more t00by photography posted in my LJ! Whee! Go comment. Now that I’m out of school, I really need to update tnm.n.
NO MORE PENCILS,
NO MORE BOOKS,
NO MORE TEACHERS’ DIRTY LOOKS!
High school is over, and the penny still has not dropped. I think I’ll cherish my happiness until the depression hits.
