Waiting for dinosaurs

Waiting for dinosaurs, originally uploaded by typedink.

So its the 14th and we are sitting (in our way better seats then i thought) @ the US Airways Center just waiting for walking with dinosaurs to start.

New Layout v.15 … yes again… so what?

Ok, got up a new layout inspired by the covers of two of the most kick ass books out there. elseWHERE and neverNEVER (a addition of sorts to the Bordertown series started in 1985 I think it was… looking for these books too, anyone got any extra’s laying around let me know).

I read both in about 2 days. Check them out here:

elseWHERE: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0152052097/002-5603169-2592855?v=glance
neverNEVER: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0152052100/qid=1098168590/sr=2-2/ref=pd_ka_b_2_2/002-5603169-2592855

The covers caught my attention, and then I looked them over… decided to give them a shot. The best book’s I’ve ever read, have been brought to my attention through the cover art. Like a song, if I dont like the beat… I stop listening to it.

I saw another play Saturday. Into The Woods, and stars two sisters, 17yr old Amanda Kei Glenn (as the wtich), and 15yr old Kimiko Glenn, (little red riding hood). Both have a nice future ahead of them, but the songs that struck out the most to me was the one by Amanda called “The Last Midnight,” or “Witches Lament,” I’m pretty sure it was, “The Last Midnight.” Damn she can sing far better then home whreckers JLO, and Spears will ever sing. So if you live in AZ, and can make it to PHX, before the show ends its run, I suggest you go see it. And its the FULL version, not the Happily Ever After version, it has to be the FULL version to hear these songs.

I’ll be posting pics later when I get them resized.

Also a member of VYT (Valley Youth Theater,) whom performe all the plays I go see (3 so far), has WON the rold of LAURIE PARTRIDGE! On the soon new modern version of The Partridge Family to air on VH1.

Leiland Grant won the part of Keith Partridge. Both were my picks for the parts so that was cool.

Though for the new Danny they chose Spencer something…. he can not sing, or act. He;s a cute kid, but the best was the chubby kid Alex, which I think they voted him off cause he was chubby which sucks… if people keeping going for ‘looks,’ instead of talent, then we’re gonna end up with more Britney’s which we can all live without.

Well its starting to get cold here, finally… being AZ it doesnt last long though.

Nothing going on in my personal life right now that I havent already said. So basically crap. drama. and more crap with a lil drama mixed in.

Dont forget to check out my Forum, and The Radio/The Player.

Grease + Pics

Well I did go see Grease. There are some pics in my Pics Gallery. If you cant see them for a bit or something, I will be resizing all my pics little by little cause many are huge, and bigger then the viewing area.

Ok onto the play, the girl who played Sandy sang very good, although the guy who played Danny was ok, he didnt seem to be able to get the high notes John Travolta did… but yeah I shouldnt expect it to be the same.

I’ve never seen Grease performed on stage, so I was surprised it wasnt like the movie. Some was, but some wasnt, as in different scenes and such.

The songs were great, the performers were great, but sadly they did not sing my favorite song, well one of them, Your The One That I want. I really wanted to hear that, and they didnt do it. Why? I dont know.

The next play is Into The Woods. A mix of various fairytales, 2 versions. One with all happy endings for little kids, the other more darker for older audiences, which is the one I will be seeing. After Into the Woods, it will be A Winnie The Pooh Christmas, which I dont think I will see. I dont like Pooh… BUT maybe I’ll go, I like Eyore. I can wear my Eyore shirt.

Plays for this season go as follows:

Annie (over)
Grease (over on Sun the 29th)
Into the Woods
A Winnie The Pooh Christmas (dont think I’ll see this one, who knows, maybe)
Sleeping Beauty
Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs
Charlie and The Choclate Factory
The Wizard of Oz

I really want to see all of them except as I said not really want to see Pooh, and dont really feel like seeing Sleeping Beauty, but who knows.

But the others I do wanna see. For Snow White I can wear my Grumpy shirt.

I’ve had hardly any sleep this last couple of weeks, when I want to sleep something comes up and I cant go to sleep. Other then that, its hard for me to fall asleep when I dont have anything keeping me from sleeping but myself.

I have a book by MaryJanice Davidson, “Undead and Unemployed,” that I wanna read but cant. There is, “Undead and Unwed,” that goes before it. Anyone got a copy they dont want anymore? Gimmie please. I cant find it anywhere but online which I cant get nothing from online.

Reason I got the book was it reminded me of Harmony (character from ANGEL).

I am also reading Eragon still. I usually read a book straight through, but Eragon being as long, and all, its hard to be able to find some quiet time to read it straight through. But I am reading some here and there when I can.

I will be adding pics in many sections in my Pics gallery the next couple of nights and as I said resizing the ones I already have online. So if you encounter gliches thats why.
