Re: Sam, you slacker....

Ok, ok, I keep meaning to get over here and post some updates and a quickie check-in and whatnot, now I will! I will not move until this post is finished (more or less).

The Wizard of Oz - what an awesome job they all did!! Mary was the perfect Dorothy - sang beautifully, acted superbly, and just really shone up on stage! I never realized that the Wicked Witch part had so many great lines until I saw and heard Mike up there; there was a total Monty Python moment when he first came out - he was just hilarious and made the character rock. Allegra had the best time ever as a munchkin,poppy, cricket, and winky and she and the other kids were adorable and clearly having a lot of fun. Anyway, the show was a blast! By attendance records it was also wildly successful - I'm proud of all them.

Allegra then caught the plague from the high school and brought it home so that after the show she was incredibly ill.

Blades of Glory is a funny, funny movie:


We just got the car fixed a few months ago. It had started making this weird squealy noise so that no matter what speed, time, or temperature Jay took off in, it sounded as if he was always peeling out. Since he leaves at 6:00 in the morning, I think the neighbors appreciated it.

My new favorite Happy Song! This is worth watching for the disco scene at the end (Kawaii!!):


Everything at the library is awesome!!! The new director, Tracy, has things moving in a really positive direction and the new staff adds are just the best. It's going to be a whole new and vastly improved library when some of you get back for summer break. It is true, Jay and I are taking a D&D break for a few months - it'll start up again during the summer reading program. We both needed some Friday nights back for a little while to stave off extreme burn-out.

Ok, check out this game: Cruel 2 B Kind A game of benevolent assassination. I'm working out the details now - just know that I'm going to be running this at least once as a library program. I think it would be the best to do it out on the island during Old Home Day weekend!

Myspace for Book Nerds!!
It exists, here's mine: Catalog and then my profile. So, create one and then let me add you to the new Rockingham Free Public Library group and I can see what you guys are reading for my own potential reads and for library purchases. Right now the library staff are working on profiles and such, soon though I want to start adding patrons and getting this used - it's just too cool not to!

The theater company (now the Greater Falls Theater Company since we're no longer the "Front Porch Theater Company") updates: we had a karaoke night at Boccelli's that was fun as soon as the internet started working again so we could use Singshot like we had planned. The big success though was a comedy night held not too long ago at Boccelli's - we packed the house and it was apparently a blast (because of comedian and location scheduling it had to be held the same Saturday night as Oz, so I didn't go to the comedy thing). Soon enough we'll be doing it again!

Animeboston is coming!!! Woot - we're not doing an official anime club thing, well, ok, yes we are, but it's looking like it's just me and Hannah, Caitlyn, and Ninane going which is good because we still have some funds to put together >.< and fewer is cheaper. I joke that I'm going to cosplay as Yomiko Readman when, let's face, I'm still so very Miss Yukari Tanizaki. And we've found new animes! If you haven't watched/read Kino no Tabi (Kino's Journey) then, well, I dunno what, but you should do something bad because you're missing just an awesome anime. I just made the club watch Scrapped Princess and they thanked me - funny and interesting. Nermia Daikon Brothers - it's an anime musical and it's seriously ecchi and quite funny.

Finally (for this update), yes, I'm still an uber-leet-warlock-world of warcraft-geek. Enjoy: The Brothers Tauren

Yay! Sam's alive! Wow-- there's far too much happening! How will I ever catch up at home?

D&D break? Yeah, even from January I could see you needed it. But still the uber-wower? I've got a character on my roommmate's account. I don't get to play much-- survey of american lit is kicking my butt.

But I think you would love my teacher for YA lit. Really. She's nuts, critical, and nice all at the same time. In class we start by talking about the book, and then we get dragged into these use discussions about society and gender and everything else.

Yeah. I miss you and the library. A lot.

Loves from The Jess-Beast!

P.S. Oh- yeah. Saw Blades of Glory. That is too much funny to be contained in one movie. I nearly died five times.
"I want to cut off your skin and wear it to my birthday, which is coming up soon."-- That movie was nuts!

All must view its glory.

P.P.S. Ask a Ninja is the shite.

The Wizard of Oz was really good! The perfect mix of kids giggling and glitter and scarves burning and melting people. I was surprised how well it was done with the sets, costumes, the blocking. BF theater at its greatest.

Also, I love librarything.
