Ever since Sunday, I've been getting up fairly early (well, early for me) at around 8AM, or at least attempting to get up about that time. Sunday was because I had to get to church (yay for church starting at 11:30AM); Monday was to get to Pierce around 11 for a visit; today (yes, I realize it's really early Wednesday morning but it still feels like it's Tuesday for me) was for a Pierce visit at 11AM/institute on campus at 12 noon. I was home at a pretty decent time after church on Sunday but I was home maybe half an hour after being gone all day Monday just to go back out and not walk through the door again until 5AM when other people in the house were just getting up and getting ready for work/school. Oops. So I got maybe four hours of sleep this morning before getting up again. So surviving today hasn't been fun. Any time there was a lull in my day, I wanted to pass out right where I was. Which most likely wouldn't have been good in a public library.
Despite being wicked tired today, I'm so stoked that I picked up a disc set of 20 of Alfred Hitchcock's movies. All four DVDs were $5, making each movie about a quarter a piece. $5 well spent? I think so. I absolutely adore Hitchcock's work. How could you not like the movies he's come out with? Then again, I love any movie that will thoroughly screw with your head and make you think. And Hitchcock's movies do that, even decades after they originally came out.
In October of 2009, I had the opportunity to go see
The 39 Steps in a play adaptation at
the Seattle Rep theatre. And of course, this caught my interest and made me watch the movie to see what the original was like so I could compare the two and figure out which I liked more. I was super stoked when I saw that
The 39 Steps was included in the 20 movies on the disc set I bought. And it only took me a year and a half to get to the point of where I'd be able to see the movie. That's way too long to wait. But at least I got to this point. And the actors that did the show did a very good job with the minimalistic set that they used (which must have made striking set so ridiculously easy [yeah, I don't hang out with theater kids at
all]). I'm hoping to one day to get back to the Seattle Rep for another show and am
so jealous that my brother's going to see
Of Mice and Men there at the end of this month. I tried to convince him to talk to the teacher who is taking the entire senior class (he's only in HS) and see if she'd be willing to let me chaperon. Unfortunately for me, I'm not allowed to go yet. But I really, really, really want to go with him and see it. I am determined to get up there and see something at the Rep. Or the Children's Theater since they do really good shows as well. Maybe both.
Because of one of my friends, I'm becoming very attached to
Poets of the Fall. How could I not possibly get attached to them? They're pretty amazing.
The other night, DJ Apollo (the DJ friend of mine mentioned in a previous post) attacked my wall on Facebook with multiple YouTube videos. And I was stoked about it. Why? Just watch and see why for yourself:
The last YouTube video was posted mainly because Apollo knew I needed a good laugh. I don't think anyone knows how thoroughly entertained I am by Beardyman's "Monkey Jazz" video. I laugh like crazy every time I watch the video. And I'm jealous of anyone in any of the three dancing videos. Why? I'm a white girl with no rhythm. So I figure it's OK to be jealous of their skills.
