Chim Chiminy Chim Chiminy Chim Chim Cheree

So I was watching Mary Poppins yesterday and this came to me as I was watching the Step in Time dance scene. What if it was done as a flash mob?! I looked up on Youtube and the only Mary Poppins flash mob I've seen was in Germany or something to the Broadway version of Supercalifragilisticexpialidoscious. But here's the full scene if no one has memory of the Step in Time scene.



Now would that be a cool flash mob or what?! You'd just need the perfect time and place to do it since quite a number of people would be needed to dance to this particular song. But it'd be amazing and fun!

Anyway my vacation is drawing to a close and it's mostly just been pure laziness. I still have Algebra 2 homework to do which is super easy anyway and I finished my Spanish stuff.

My mom's birthday party was yesterday and I still find it hard to believe that she is turning 41 on Tuesday. We had friends over and we gorged ourselves with cake and tacos. And boy that was some good cake! I will be enjoying the sweetness of that cake tonight.

And today we had a rehearsal though everyone went to the band room because some people were still working with lights. That didn't keep me from helping with set building... sorta. I was left for an hour and half with no help because the two guys I'm working with forgot and slept in. Luckily I spent that time painting a palm tree since I can't do much else. Add on to that, we're running out of plywood and some of the paint we have is as old as time itself and we can't use it. It doesn't help that we're falling behind because there are only 19 rehearsal days left, barely anyone else shows up and the two guys I do work with mess around which is slowly decreasing my patience with them... Hopefully the people I call tonight will actually show up to help us, or maybe this week the guys I'm working with will pick up the slack and stop goofing off. Ugh, I can dream can't I?

Well that's all for now folks. Keeping my fingers crossed that this will be a good week.

XOXO,

I'm sorry I've been reduced to a couch potato

Finally, the one week vacation I've been anxious for has finally arrived. I've been wanting this vacation for a loooong time and now it's finally come. It's only Sunday and it's already been a good vacation... I know it's probably gonna get sucky when I gotta do some homework which honestly is super easy.

Saturday was a rehearsal day so I went to help the guys to build the set which we need three different sets for the three acts of The Boyfriend. Had to leave for an hour for a dentist appointment for a quick cleaning and came back.

Our set's looking good so far with the progress we got and I hope we keep that up until the musical opens next month. Hopefully we'll still have people come in to help because the past week was NO fun without help.

I was stuck one day without help until 4:30 and even when someone came we had nothing to do because for the most part, we need the table saw to work with and only one guy knows how to use it and he was stuck doing an English project without telling anyone else. On top of which, people who signed up for set building AREN'T showing up, but it's part of their grade with them being a part of the drama class. So jokes on them. We had some guys show up on Thursday but they're only able to work with us on Thursdays... We also have a sign up sheet where people put their names AND numbers on them, so I texted them to show up and only ONE guy responded and he said "Nope". Think I'm happy cause of that? Of course not. Maybe I'll try calling them when we get back if we're not getting anything done...

But I digress.

After rehearsal, Marina did a bit of shopping at TJ Maxx and we went to a Chinese place in Gilroy for dinner which was amazing! I ordered Vermicelli Duck Curry Soup and it was spicy heaven! I've never had duck before and it was really delicious. After dinner, we went to Barnes and Noble where I purchased The Hunger Games! Everyone's been saying that it's good so I thought I'd check it out especially with the movie coming out next month and obviously the book is always better than the movie.

Hey is it weird that I want to check out Twilight and just read it to see what's so great about it? I'm just curious...

Anyway, today I did absolutely nothing but sit on the couch like the vegetable I am.

As for plans for the rest of my vacation, I'll be seeing The Secret World of Arrietty with friends as a group thing for Anime and Manga club. And... that's pretty much it.

XOXO,

Liz
