Bought my last book...
Dec. 16th, 2008 04:11 pmfor school today... Went downtown TO to get it... The Gardiner was closed beyond the York, Bay and Yonge St. exit, which made the expressway go to a standstill...
When they told me at school the other day where the bookstore was, they said a block from the Eaton Centre.... Which I do know how to find (most of the time), but if they had said it was on the same street as the Canon Theatre, I wouldn't have farted around on Yonge St, or worried that I was going in the wrong direction. I think I could find that theatre in the dark... Actually I have...
They're actually playing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang there starting Dec 24th (hard to believe that's a week tomorrow).... Spring Awakening is coming in the new year there. They're still playing We Will Rock You, and of course The Sound of Music (which I still haven't seen). I think they still have Evil Dead too...
I need to get back into theatre, seriously...
ETA: Oh and I knew I was going blind, but I saw a picture of Boyzone today and I couldn't pick out Ronan... I thought I had and I was totally wrong.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............
Next week is Microsoft Outlook and I needed the book. The one person that could give it to me ended up having the same screwup on her schedule as mine, and now we're doing the module at the same time...
So the person next to me did the module a few weeks ago, and kept telling me (and everyone else) that she wasn't selling ANY of her books. I asked her last week if I could borrow the book for the week of the module. She said okay... I asked again yesterday to make sure that I could get it today, she said yes. I asked her today, when I was leaving.... She sold the book! I called her a liar and she didn't like it. I don't give a FUCK!
The office wasn't sure, but they ended up having the book... Thank God! [and no thanks to her]

Dec. 1st, 2008 03:45 pmRemember the girl that was totally scared of the final exam for Excel? Other people had failed, other people refused to retake the exam to pass... That girl would be me... And guess what I got 88%! That would be out of 100 too... I was in shock...
And I started Power Point today which is really easy... It's nice to have a light week after two heavy ones... Oh and the girl next to me that's on the same schedule? Just finished the first exam, and was really happy she got 52%... I was like, um....Okay... She still has another exam and a project to complete... Good luck getting done on time now.
What else? The stuff about JB on the radio truly made me laugh, but I do understand why he had to apologize... His filter will probably go more firmly in place now... Kinda makes me wonder where Gavin was? I don't think he could have been there.
I think I was reprimanded yesterday about a JB post I made... It was just deleted and nothing was said... Truly though I thought I was posting in someone's lj not in a community.
I scared the wits out of my cat too... He was running around like a wild thing, and I grab him just before he was about to make another leap, and I made him jump about a foot in the air.
And Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning? Scares me... I don't care if it has Shirley MacLaine and Barbara Hershey. Kevin Sullivan changing Anne Shirley's history is just wrong... I felt that with the Continuing Story and I feel that now. Anne of Green Gables and the sequel were big events when I was a girl, and to change the history now? Just wrong...
Oh and I maintain that Jonathan Crombie is gay... I don't care what anybody over at imdb says...
Oh and before I forget, I finally connected the dots between Anthony Rapp and Neil Patrick Harris... All of the info was there, I just had to put it together in mind...
Did I mention I'm finally going to see Anthony and Adam Pascal in person in a month and a half? It's starting to sink in

I have had one tumultuous day...
Nov. 25th, 2008 09:40 pmI left late for class because the Barrowman was on The One Show and I HAD to watch then (rather than after class, just in case it got taken down)... Stress tests and his grey hair, was what I got out of that one...
Spent the morning learning to record macros (REALLY exciting.... not), and make input boxes... Then I got my entire row laughing, the instructor was looking at me like I was going crazy... Which was entirely possible... My main theme today was that I kept telling the lady next to me that she was old, and she kept saying she wasn't...
Then I left for an interview... I got lost and the place was only four minutes from the college... I was like.... What the fuck? I had my map pointed in the wrong direction and got lost. I finally got there twenty minutes late and talked to the guy and he said that he would need me to start tonight. We went over the job and THEN he told me he was seeing someone else today too... But he would call at 4pm if he needed me.
So I had to go to the drugstore, which was where I was going to go next, but my ipod died... One minute it said it had power, and the next the battery was almost completely drained. So I had to go home to charge it... Then the damn iscrobbler wouldn't work, so I waited for it to work and talked to my mom and by the time I left for the drugstore it was after 3pm... I had less than an hour till 4pm...
I wanted to go to this outlet that was at the other end of town in the spring... But not only is it not there, the whole building that it was in has been knocked down... I was like when did that happen? I had to cave and go to the drugstore and ended up asking the woman there what colour eyeliner I wear... She confirmed I wear dark black...
Then I went to get something to eat... I usually go through the drive thru, but there were two cars already waiting... So I decided to test a theory and went in the restaurant to order the food. When I left the first car that was in the line was pulling away. I was glad that I didn't wait in the line...
Then I got home and it was after 4pm... No phone call... He finally called just after 4:30pm and left a message that he didn't think the hours would fit into my school schedule, but if I wanted he would keep me in mind for other assignments... I left a message agreeing...
Then I watched Party of Five... Which is truly one of my forms of crack...Julia was with one guy, dumped him and then slept with Griffin as soon as he came back to town... And Bailey decied to stop being a drunk and move back home...
THEN my mom told me that our lights work again... YAY no more stumbling around in the dark at night...
And THEN up till about an hour ago I was helping this lady with her resume and job search...
So I'm tired now...
And reading that Torchwood (and the Sarah Jane Adventures) could possibly wrap up after they do a fourth series has brought me down... It's something to the effect that Stephen Moffat would only have one show rather than three to deal with... :o( Stephen Moffat wrote the first show that Captain Jack was ever in... He wouldn't do that would he? He wouldn't want that... I hope...

I still don't get it...
Nov. 17th, 2008 09:11 pmNo matter how many times I watch The Godfather Part II I still don't get the story... I mean I get the part about young Vito Corleone and his rise to power, but Michael's story? Not so much. I get parts I and III but not II. AMC has been marathoning the movies all weekend (well I and II anyway, I haven't seen III, but then again who wants to? Sofia Coppola yeesh!), and I have been watching and trying to understand, and I just don't get it... I even double checked to make sure that the character of Fredo is in I and II and he is, but it still didn't help
That and Dr. Zhivago, I don't get that movie either... *Shifts eyes around* I hope no one stops by randomly and tries to explain them to me... Someone tried to explain Dr. Zhivago to me once and it just didn't take.
Class was long... Frickin' Excel chapters are looooooooooooonggggggggggggg... The girl who's on the same schedule as me still isn't done Proofreading and English. She didn't do the checkpoints and now she can't get past them (you have to get 80% to move on) to the exam...
Also it's Prince Charles 60th and he and Al Pacino are friends... Allrighty then... That and Robert DeNiro saw Hair in London with John Barrowman :P

Anyway...
I just read that Adam Pascal is going to be at the Royal Variety Performance for a Lion King tribute... John Barrowman's going to be there too... John and Adam? Yes please!
Which makes me think (as I do every so often), what part could John play in Rent? Now to me it's between Mark and Roger. Right now I am leaning towards Roger, but it's still hard to imagine him playing an HIV postive ex-heroin addict... Why I'm leaning that way is that Will Chase played Roger in Rent, and played Chris in Miss Saigon... I know there's some faulty reasoning in there, but it's my theory :P
Ummmmmmmmmm......... What else? Business English and Proofreading is now over... Don't know what I got on the project, but I got 84 on the exam. I was steered in the wrong direction on a question and got the answer wrong.... I've already started Excel too... And I saw another course that I might be interested in today.
Went for an interview at a tube park... Which was interesting.
Watched General Hospital today... It's gotten SO lame. Elizabeth and Jason should just be together... And the way Laura left was SO stupid.
Now I'm listening to Oprah... Her home and Rob Lowe's didn't burn down... So relieved :P
Oh and apparently I don't know as many Best Picture Winners and classic Disney movies as I thought... I know more about movie villains? Weird?
And this song? It's so sad, but it's so beautiful... George needs to write more musicals...
ETA: And I totally forgot... Was poking around John's revamped website... Very nice, of course there were a few people who didn't like the colours (I'm surprised their comments got through).
ETA 2: Love the new trailer for the Doctor Who Christmas special - Allons-y!

You know what's bothering me today?
Nov. 12th, 2008 12:50 pmI don't actually know how many Tune Ups there are in Rent... There are 5 Voice Mails, which I only know, because I went through my itunes and counted, but I don't know how many Tune Ups there are....
In other news, I have a blister on my hand from raking the leaves... The lawn looks better, but my frickin' hand hurts now...
And I am almost finished Business English and Proofreading. All I did today was practice questions for the exam. The project is tomorrow, and I'll take the exam on Friday... Good thing too, cause I keep looking for complete sentences here and it's starting to drive me crazy.
And THEN.... I have two weeks of Excel and from the sounds of it, everyone that has taken it so far has had their asses kicked by it
ETA: Oh and before I forget... Someone get the eyeliner away from John Barrowman (or his makeup artist), please.

I think my epic day is over...
Nov. 11th, 2008 05:22 pmIt all started when I couldn't find my wallet last night... I went to the store (all I wanted was frickin' tomatoes), went to grab my purse and discovered my wallet wasn't inside it. All these things start going through my head, and I ended up calling every store that I went to on Friday and Saturday. None of them had it... I searched my car three times, but by then it was dark, so I had to feel around, rather than look around... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........ I asked my mom if she had seen it, cause she took my car the other day and I had left my purse in it. Nope she hadn't seen either... I spent three hours looking for it... Only to get up this morning, to first have my Norton antivirus uninstall and then reinstall itself (the computer prompted me that it wasn't running, then I restarted and it was running, even though at first I got the same message as I did the first time) the cat put his dirty paws on my white shirt, drop the dirty laundry down the stairs, and then finally get to look in my car. I looked in the back seat, no sign of it, and then I looked under the driver's seat, and there it was... I wanted to slump in relief, but I had to get to class.
Spent the morning, with stupid phrases, dependent and independent clauses, essential and nonessential phrases and proofreading for simpler words... The first part kicked my ass big time. Then I spent time practicing, so I didn't even leave till 12pm... The girl next to me left at 10am and English isn't her first language... I was like, um.... okay...
I had an interview this afternoon (which I couldn't remember what the position was...Ooops), and almost got lost... She was very nice...
Went to two Walmarts looking for the second series of Torchwood (it was finally released today in Canada). Then ended up at the mall, where two stores had it, and I am now in possession of... Not before a woman tried to jump the line in HMV, which started with me... I was like, excuse me... I'm next!
Now I'm listening to samples of songs on John Barrowman's next CD... Interesting... The sound is similar to Another Side... I think Daniel Boys does background vocals on Uptown Girl (I'm wondering if I should admit that I am really NOT a Billy Joel fan?). And I Am What I Am isn't a pop song on this CD either...
Oh and on a side note? Another Side is still on the shelf in my Walmart...
AND my stupid sinuses are about to burst... I kept hitting my forehead in class today and all I could feel was the pressure on them...

The Beatles are mellowing me out...
Nov. 10th, 2008 01:00 pmGotta love that...
Class was cancelled today, cause the heater broke... It's not that it didn't go on, it wouldn't turn off. I spent the morning playing games on my ipod and watching morning talk shows... I was trying to watch Hoda and Kathie Lee on the last hour of Today, and the feed went funny. I don't even know if doesn't work cause they switched to infomercials.... That's been going on for a while too. Makes me wonder if it's NBC or something about the feed from Buffalo.
I spent the weekend watching the last episode of Alan Carr's Celebrity Ding Dong. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.......... I wonder why? It started making me wonder if the Friday (Sunday?) Night Project is coming back?
That and I keep seeing icons of Simon Amstell dressed as a bunny, which is really tempting me to start watching Never Mind the Buzzcocks again...
