QUOTE (ILSnwdog @ Apr 29 2011, 01:26 PM) The movie is sure to rock...but then it's over. Dude, I know! I stayed up all night reading the seventh book upon its release, which was so dumb because then it dawned on me that it was really over and then I was, like, "WTF." I may have cried. Granted, I was going on no sleep and I tend to cry when I don't sleep. I'll admit it. I'm woman enough to admit it. But damn straight does that son of a gun trailer look smokin'. I'll be there for the midnight premiere (as I've done since the first one), tired and crying.

Missed The Red Stick Ramblers (ha, that was a bummer) and had to forego The Avett Brothers due to dehydration in the heat of New Orleans, but at least I saw M&S and also saw The Subdudes (the accordion player had the sweetest goatee ever). Next up: in Dublin on May 10th and again on June 12th in New Orleans! I'm totally psyched. And my friend and I are thinking of traveling to Chicago in August to see Muse at a festival. It's just being talked about, but who knows. We might.

Due to circumstances, we totally missed The Red Stick Ramblers and didn't stay for The Avett Brothers (I nearly passed out due to the heat), BUT we saw Mumford and Sons (YAY!) and The Subdudes at JazzFest. My review is linked here at my blog The rest of the pics (all 110 of them, ha) are up on my facebook. If anyone would rather I copy and paste I can, but I don't think there are many or even any M&S fans on here. Shame.

Yesterday and today have just been bad. I wrote it all out and I actually feel better. I don't need to divulge into it though. My heart goes out to everyone in Alabama.

QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Apr 28 2011, 07:19 AM) Alabama got SLAMMED with simultaneous tornadoes yesterday. GG and home are fine, but 50 people were killed. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/28/us/28storm.html?_r=1&hp http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/1001001/alabamastorm42711.jpg That is just so upsetting. My roomie and I watched that on the news last night until about midnight. It's hot and humid and muggy here (in the 90's). Jazzfest is going to be a bitch tomorrow.

Right now: whatever I want until grad school and then I have to wear decent clothes (unless grad school doesn't pan out). Best job ever? Barn job. I got to wear jeans and nasty t-shirts and my favorite pair of boots. When I exercised horses then I wore my cheesy looking breeches and usually a tank and sports bra. My favorites were the DQs (Dressage Queens) who came out in Armani to clip their horses. I kid you not. Those women are made of money and let you know it. Thankfully my trainer was/is a cowgirl at heart and gave lessons in wranglers. But I got paid decently to wear muck clothes at the barn and play around with ponies. I miss that job so much.

So, my mare has been lame and we think we've figured out what it is (another vet, not my personal vet), which is awesome because it's not what we initially thought (and what we initially thought is not good). So, heck yeah! I'm stoked and she was super peppy today at the barn and very good when I soaked her feet. I'm so glad I beat* good ground manners into her so that big buckets full of water don't scare her. *NOTE: I never beat her (nor would I ever), but I did teach her super awesome ground manners. Ha.

Trail ride Saturday and I rode the "crazy Arab" who went to sleep on me. Oh, my stellar skills at putting the most crazy of ponies to sleep. Today... it's lovely outside, nice and breezy.

This past Friday we had a friend over and I had to get my horse ready for a trail ride, then she came up lame, so I rode the Arab (horse, not a person). This Friday I will be at Jazz Fest.

QUOTE (Drumnut @ Apr 25 2011, 12:50 AM) Thank you everyone! I excited and scared at the same time. I can imagine anyone would be considering this is brain surgery. I know when we found my tumor about four years back the best advice I was given by my neurologist was "shave your head" (which you've done) and "it's the hardest surgery to recover from so take your time." Don't expect to bounce back so fast and be patient. Know you have people on your side that are going to be strong for you when you can't be. Just take your time.

This Friday I'm going to Jazz Fest to see: The Red Stick Ramblers Mumford & Sons (YESSS!) The Avett Brothers

Finally just saw the remake of "I Spit On Your Grave." Neither one was good. I need to quit watching banned cult films. Unless it's Cannibal Holocaust.

QUOTE (ReRushed @ Apr 22 2010, 08:27 PM) This is the only song that puts me in the mood! Next time... next time... The last guy I was with wouldn't put on songs, he put on movies or TV shows. So, there were times during Ghosthunters and The Quick and the Dead. Bummer it didn't last.

You know I'm so happy for you and wish you all of the best concerning your surgery. I hope you have a swift recovery and that the surgery is successful with controlling or stopping the seizures. Keep us posted!

Ended it with a guy I've been seeing. It was positive because it wasn't going anywhere and we are able to remain friends, but still... I felt used. That sucked. Oh well. Maybe one day I'll meet a guy who respects me.

I sold my soul to the Devil, hence why I am wealthy. But seriously, I sold my soul to the Man. And I have an editor. And sometimes I work horse shows. And other days I give violin lessons. I have work ADHD.

QUOTE (In A Tidewater Surge @ Apr 5 2011, 04:52 PM) Have aliens in it. Yesss. Ugh. If you're actually serious, sign up for a class at a community college or a University and take a screenplay writing class. Even if you hate the class you at least get the software for free. If you're not so serious, just buy the software. It ranges from the cheapest, which sucks ($70) to over $200. I love the really good software because it basically does everything for you and you just write. With the cheap software you have to go back and format everything so you do little writing and tons of editing and formatting.

Managed to get pretty dang sick the day of the GRE and signed up for the wrong Praxis, which resulted in losing a lot of money. However, the essay questions were awesome.

Cockroaches. There are no words to this irrational fear. In fact, my roommate's cat has started bringing them in the house and the other night she brought in a FLYING one and I took off running, leapt onto the bed, however, I missed, flew over the bed, and landed on the elliptical. In between laughing and crying, we heard a loud crack and we thought I broke my foot. It's huge and bruised, but I can walk on it. Thankfully the dog came and licked my face, but I was still screeching, "DID YOU KILL THE COCKROACH?!" Even upon suspicion of a cockroach, I will start screaming and leaping in the air. It's so shaming.

I get Neil's perception on people and completely agree with him (despite the fact that I would love to discuss books with him, but whatever. I also have friends for that). I know so many people who have met celebrities and truly believe they are friends with those celebrities. They then follow them around with this insane belief in their head and it's terrifying. Neil is there to do his job and I think he's in the right when he puts up those boundaries between himself and people that have the potential to be insane. Not saying everyone is, but there are crazies out there. Would I want to have a meet and greet with Geddy and Alex? I don't know. I've meet some celebrities from doing films when I lived in Austin and sometimes it's fun; when they're working it's not so much (mainly because they're busy and you're just an "extra"). This would be a different experience, fast paced, and what not. I'm fine with just seeing them play live. But yeah... I'm very big into boundaries. I don't think there's anything wrong with Neil's stand about fans. If anything, I agree with him.
