On Wearing High Heels....and other bitchery

So the novelty of wearing high heel shoes wore off after about three hours of choreographing in them when my toes and the balls of my feet were screaming in pain. I am doing the old woman shuffle today. But the Cagelles look great and are picking everything up quite nicely.

I guess I should be worried when people tell me my legs look damn good in heels and I move very well in them. I am flattered nonetheless. Means I am doing my job right.

For those unaware, I am choreographing and in a production of La Cage Aux Folles. I am not pursuing a career in drag.

Teaching is going well. I love my USF classes. Such bright and interesting students. Had a GREAT discussion about visual rhetoric and censorship this morning. My SPC class is interesting, although I have my first "annoying" student since I started teaching. The kind that the rest of class shows their audible contempt for whenever he or she speaks. I also want to kill her as she asks stupid questions ALL the time.

My UT classes on the other hand are a handful. Just a collection of rich and spoiled kids who have chips on their shoulders. In the 5 classes I have had with them I have been able to ellicit a total of ZERO laughs, chuckles, sniggers, or contributions of ANY kind to discussions. I truly do not look forward to going there. This is my whoring job now.

Oklahoma rehearsals are also going well. Quick learners, but some are dimwitted. Should be a good show.

I hear Forum is moving along quite disastorously, but I shall judge for myself tomorrow night at dress rehearsal.

I miss Laurie and must see her soon before the peanut comes exploding from her stomach. Don't hate me Laurie. How does this weekend sound?

People with nothing going on in their lives who constantly feel the need to whine and bitch and moan about nothing annoy me on a even larger scale now. Add to that friends who consistently show themselves to be less than deserving of ANY kind of human contact or caring as they have proved themselves to be heartless shells of the weakest mineral.

I have a NY trip coming up during which I want to see some shows, but more importantly, interview with some colleges. Two of the ones I really want to work for are hiring. Go me. Everything else about the trip has me in a state of apprenhension.

And now...I go to corrupt teach the minds of America.

Just Keep Giving Me More Reasons...

I have fallen victim to one of the worst (in my opinion) grievances that you can commit on a friend. Has never happened until now...

PLEASE explain HOW people friends can actually sit there and feign happiness for you and show support and encouragement and then TURN AROUND and be assholes and spout off jealous and insanely neurotically paranoid crap????

You're kidding me right? I have no more patience to deal with the idiocy that seems to find itself to me all the time. Time is wasted on those for whom time no longer waits.

In other words....

BUGGER OFF!

ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME?!?!?

CNN.com - Christians issue gay warning on SpongeBob video - Jan 21, 2005

I did not think Christian groups could get ANY stupider. They are actually protesting Sponge Bob because of his work in a video about tolerance that includes sexual identity. And because of a lot of gay people are apparently into the show and characters (that I do not get either), they are calling for a boycott of the show.

This is un-freaking-believable. Aside from the fact that you are fucking with kids' perceptions of the world and just teaching intolerance and hate, which is so completely AGAINST what Christianity is, you are being brainless morons.

I hate ignorant stupid bible thumping people.

And, no, this does not make me intolerant....this makes me angry.

Not One Damn Dime and the Judicial System

Of immediate importance is the NOT ONE DAMN DIME DAY which happens tomorrow. Pissed about Bush getting re-elected? Pissed about the war? Pissed about thw way the ocuntry is being run? Then don't spend a single dime tomorrow in protest. Read the website for more information.

I won my court case today. Nothing horrible. I contested a speeding ticket with some pretty good evidence. Of course, the cop who ticketed me was there, but he did not have his paperwork with him so he moved for a dismissal of the case, and I was good to go. He was a nice guy, I can say that much. I was SO fascinated sitting in the courtroom and hearing all the cases and the LAME ASS excuses people give for the things they did wrong. The officer/judge in charge of the proceedings was NOT a happy woman. Thankfully it all worked for me.

What struck as odd and unfair is that officers can use the "he/she looked like they were driving Xmph." How can that count as concrete evidence? Because you went and got laser and radar trainig you can now guage the speed of a moving vehicle using your eyes? How the hell do you even get trained to do that? How is that fair at all? I ask this knowing full well the corruption of the judicial system and how year after year SO many people are released with an apology because of screwed up proceedings and evidence. I just don't get how that kind of evidence can't be thrown right out of the court room. Very troubling indeed.

Help me Get an I-Pod...PLEASE?????

So this might very well be a scam, but who cares, it is worth a try. So PLEASE go here and do what it says and help me out. And I will get this...

Just Too Rich

I swear CNN must do this on purpose. Yet ANOTHER humorously ironic Bush Picture with the following headline.

Bush: Better Human Intelligence Needed

Reade the title both ways and it still is funny. Dueling Banjoes anyone?

God, Neighbors and Landlords

Sounds like the title of a Neil Simon play eh? Oh, but this is much much worse. Hold on folks.

Some of my older readers will fondly remember my travails with awful neighbors such as Rotunda and the Bitch Boy. Well, moving to this supposed quiet and historic neighborhood in St. Pete has yielded another interesting pair of neighbors. And it seems I have found the ONLY place in a 10 block radius with noise pollution.

First, we have Deaf VietVet, Gary, a man who MUST have lost his hearing at some point in the war (who knows which one, I chose Vietnam because of the way he talks and a particular evening during which he played Beach Boys music LOUD. He favors "Surfin' USA" as he played it no less than three times in a row - the following evening I was entertained by Joe Cocker). I question his hearing because of his uncanny ability to play his TV abnormally loud, so much so that I can hear it from across the street. So much so that I can hear every word in my living room and hear the muffled noise in my bedroom. I have taken to playing my TV louder which sometimes does not even help. He seems to enjoy watching TV anywhere from 8ish to 10:36 (altho two nights ago he went to 11:30). No big deal? Just two hours? It's annoying, and rude.

Think I could just sleep in to catch up on quiet time? Oh no, the other neighbor living in the garage apartment behind me (I am in a duplex), the Hippy Handyman, Doug, loves to start working on little bits around the property at like 9 in the morning. Granted most people are at work, but I am not, and it's annoying. It has been that way for the last TWO months, give or take 4 days. The place is NOT that big, so what the HELL is he working on? I was greeted one morning at around 7:15 by some angry yelling (I thought he said, "I'm in the Special Olympics!") followed by a metal version of "The Answer My Friend Is Blowing in the Wind." I am not kidding.

The landlord's response? Speak to them. Apparently they were apologetic and would speak to me...has not happened. Was told it would get better....has not happened. And recently I was asked if they wanted me to find another place to live. Anyone else see how fucked up that is? I should pay to move, AGAIN, becuse OTHER people are causing all the noise problems. The construction I can marginally understand. The TV, I cannot. They are surprised as they have never had noise complaints and it has usually been the neighbors in my unit about whom complaints have been lodged.

Well maybe they were making noise to DROWN OUT THE DEAF FUCKING NEIGHBOR!!?!?!?

Let me not even start on the fact that I have heard him have sex (I swear I am living in a traditional Japanese house) on 3 occasions and I don't enjoy it.

And as for the God portion of my title. In a series of ongoing "heavenly father" paradoxes. Why is it people think God is responsible for sparing their house or village from natural disasters? Wouldn't that inversely mean that he is also responsible for destroying the unfortunate ones in the path? So then God is just having fun fucking with people's properties? I am sure the argument would be that the unfortunate were sinners or that God couldn't save everyone from Satan's storm.

Keep in mind this also follows the same kind of illogical fallacies such as two football teams who pray to win a game (are the losers damned or is God just a twisted bastard?) and those in the crusades who fought to spread Christianity and God's love by killing every non-believer in order to do it.

This all speaks for itself.

Get LOST

Ok....I am TOTALLY hooked on LOST. I caught up on episodes 7-11 and am totally into it. One of the episodes actually made my skin crawl and my stomach drop out and it takes A LOT for a show to do that to me. It is amazingly well-written -acted, and -scripted. Find the episodes and WATCH EM.

BTW, I found the Ring... movie, so I am pleased. Have not watched it yet.

Laurie...baby doing well? I want to come see you before you pop it out...what do you think?

School started back up this week. It was an interesting first day. Will say more about it after my second day.

Is it weird that I am addicted to working out now and today an hour and 15 minutes went by and I didn't even know it?

Nothing is worse than when friends lie, I think, than when you know they are lying to you but hope they are not. How sad and incredibly lonely for someone to do. To have to cover up the indiscrepencies and inadequacies of your life by imparting negativity on someone else thereby trying to elude all your current practices and habits that do nothing else but show how desperately sad and pathetic things have become. To bitterly complain about one's life yet to do nothing positive is a cry for pity that falls on deaf and tired ears that no longer wish to listen to the mindless and silly prattle of unfettered bullshit spewing forth like cow dung on a green field.

Disapprovement of Generations

Now this is just funny. Front page of CNN.com is this article: Ex-presidents to lead tsunami fund-raising.

But what is HI-laaaaaaarious are the picture of Daddy B and Clinton looking at Dumbya like he is a fucking moron. Par example:



and



Can you imagine what they are thinking?

Daddy B's possible thoughts:

* The better part of you ran down your mother's legs
* Who knew the vasectomy was a dud
* Where was SIDS when I needed it
* You are an idiot

Clinton's possible thoughts:

* and I got in trouble for a blow job?!?!
* What the hell am I doing here? oh yeah....Hilary
* This idiot took my place?
* Think of the pay, Bill. Think of the pay.
* You are an idiot

Dumbya's Possible Thoughts:

* I wonder where Outdonesia is?
* Al Qaeda must be behind the tsunami. Hmmm....we'll invade Dubai for that. (note: regional humor, right cuz?)
* Damn....we've lost our strategic military cow outpost in Sri Lanka.
* I am an idiot

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand....scene

If you own any kind of a blog, livejournal or xanga, you need to go to BlogAid and sign up to help those decimated by the recent tsunami. If you don't have ad placemento n your site, go to google.com and get set up tohave ads placed so that you can get your earnings sent over. I know it is a pain in the ass, but the ads are inobtrusive and it is for a good cause. Plus, it also helps out google which is a great company. Come on people, do our share since the government won't.
