Topic Free Blog
I know what you're thinking. "this blog is rarely topical anyway" True, but this time I've started this post with no idea whatsoever of what to blog about. Let's see what happens.
I still have a cold, but I've run out of tissues. I'm currently using paper towels until I can convince myself to go to wal-mart.
I have get my application for my passport turned in so I can go to Canada this summer.
I'm going to perform a scene from
Ancient History by David Ives for my Acting class. This is very exciting because it is probably my favorite play by Ives and I wasn't sure I could find someone to perform it with me. We start rehearsing next week.
I've started using my New York accent for the play I'm in. I'm not sure how good it is, but I haven't had any complaints yet.
Callahan and his girlfriend are coming up to see the play on opening weekend. I offered to let them stay in my room, and it's probably going to be a tight fit.
Every woman I find myself attracted to is already in a steady relationship. Many moons ago I swore to myself that I would not be "That Guy," but I can now see where "That Guy" comes from.
Little Boxes on the hillside. Weeds is a fun show, but I'm not sure I like the direction this season has taken. I'm just now catching up on 30 Rock.
I watch too much TV.
This post is going to have a lot of tags.
I really think the Nelsons' story would make a great play. I'm just not sure what it would be about. (their blog can be found
here.)
I can't frakking believe that Clark is 7 and a half years old. Where does the time go?
I have managed to stay on my two pages for the entirety of the semester so far. I had one bad day where I forgot about it until after I had eaten, but I wrote three pages that day to make up for it.
I submitted my script to RROAPS already this year and so did some other people I know. I just really hope his script doesn't get picked. I don't even know what it is about, and I don't really care, but if his previous scripts are any indication I don't have much to worry about.
I want my bands back. You can't have them anymore. I'll give back Wicked, Millie, The Cars, and even Cabaret, but I want exclusive rights to Ookla the Mok, the Streets and Moxy Früvous. I think that's why I've been listening to so much JoCo. He's all mine.
I never really liked "Unworthy of Your Love."
I need to take a shower.
Rock on Diego.
Damn you Booth!
Aristophanes' play
The Knights is going to be the topic for my research paper. He makes fun of the leader of his country and discusses free speech.
You're fighting the outfit and the outfit's winning.
Edit: Apparently I was wrong about the Tags. there's a limit on the number of characters.

Being Sick Sucks
So Friday I start coming down with a cold. No big deal.
Unfortunately this cold has plans. Plans to drive me crazy.
It started normally. A tickle in my throat, a little sinus blockage. But now it has progressed into the final stages of malaria. (Disclosure: I don't know what the symptoms of malaria are.) I can't go more than five minutes without needing to blow my nose. If I do go longer than that (say in class) I end up sniffing constantly so as not to let snot run into my mustache. (you've mentally watched it, you can't mentally unwatch it) My throat feels like it has collapsed in on itself. Eating anything is painful. I have a nearly constant headache. My lips are cracked beyond the threshold of pain, because I can't breathe through my nose at night. Meaning I breathe through my mouth which dries up and cracks painfully. And to top it all off, My nose is bleeding. My nostrils have become so chapped because of the constant nose blowing that they my last three tissues have come away with blood. This all may be disgusting to you, but I'm having to live through it.
Also, I applied for a position as an official Texas Tech Blogger. This would be an incredible opportunity for me. I would get to be a face of Texas Tech. Also I can imagine getting away with strange things because "I'm a Blogger" and a flash of my TTU creds. The latter part is probably just a fantasy, but a cool one none the less.
If you're a TTU official reading this in attempt to assess my ability as a blogger please disregard that last paragraph. Also, I would love to work for you. Blogging is very fun for me and I would love the opportunity to bring more people to the awesome college that is Texas Tech. Seriously, I love this college. If I could stay forever, I probably would.
Alrighty I have to go. Craig Ferguson is almost on.
That's right. A muscular blood pumping organ.

Sickness
So this afternoon I feel a little tickle in my throat.
I know this little tickle. This little tickle is trying to tell me that I'm going to be sick soon.
This little has been steadily increasing since I first noticed it. So far I am asymptomatic otherwise, but it's a matter of time. I sucked on a lozenge that I found in my backpack but it had little to no effect. I though about drinking something warm like a nice cup of tea, but the only hot beverage Sam's has is coffee and then only in the mornings. I didn't want anything carbonated or caffeinated so my options were a little limited. I finally settled on milk. Now in voice class today we had it impressed upon us how dairy products are bad for your vocal folds (not cords and definitely not chords,) but I don't care. Milk is the only thing I have available that isn't corrosive to my throat, so that's what I'm drinking. Also I'm not planning on being a singer so I care even less.
