A Diet, More Books, and a Musical

How is everyone? I'm pretty freaking stressed out of my mind. It's "hell week" for the theatre department because the spring musical is this friday and saturday. Basically everyone rushes around to finish and rehearse before the big day. Since I'm in the pit orchestra, I'm after school everyday till 7pm reahrasing. Kill me. Also, I have a major band competition, a concert, my birthday party, and actually deciding on a college all in the near future.

In calmer news, I'm sort of on "diet". I'm not trying to lose weight though, I'm trying to get more "toned up" (I guess that would be phrase). With prom, summer, and more importantly my drum corps season coming up I really need to get in shape. So far, I've actually been loving it. Its hard though because I'm really strict with myself to not eat ANY junkfood. Lisa made these awesome cookies the otherday and I didn't eat a single one. I kept telling myself "this is isn't my food". It worked :) I am following a program though. It's called "Spring into Bikini Season!" by ToneItUp. how cute is that?! Here's the link if anybody's interested: ToneItUp

In more other news, I finished WINNIE-THE-POOH!!!! Probably one of the best books I've ever read. Seriously, not joking, go read it. I cried at the end too. Also, I'm reading Sherlock Holmes and LOVING IT. It's so awesome, I can't believe I hadn't read it before. Hopefully I'll be doing a more in depth review on that after I finish! Also, Frank and I haven't selected a book for April yet. He said I should pick next since he picked Sherlock. But I would LOVE if more people (other than Frank and I) read too. So get your butt to the BBC 100 book app (or w/e it's called) on Facebook and make a suggestion! Love you All!! -Liz

Anime!




Meow!

 

So I've been watching Trigun on the Netflix, and it's about as awesome as I remember it. I'm about five episodes in, when it's still funny and entertaining. I've always like the character of Vash, though admittedly most of the characters from the show are likable. Any show that has a running joke like the black Neko showing up is worth watching. It reminds me of Excel saga in that way, but Excel saga is completely different and totally insane.
Speaking of anime shows, I'm meaning to finish watching my DBZ dvds and would certainly like to finish my collection. I'm only a handful of seasons away from having the whole show. I'm only interested in the DBZ when I was younger, none of this Dragonball Z Kai! nonsense on tv nowadays.
I'll be posting my comments on the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes later this week and the info for April's Book of the Month.

And to wrap this post up, the best song about anime ever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have looked at the blog every day for a week and thought "Gee, I should post". So here I am!

Most of you know, but on Saturday I passed my test for national certification as a pharmacy tech. Go me!

PAX was awesome!! There was some shenanigans for a bit when I lost my pass, but I got it back again. Pax is so huge, it would be impossible to tell you all about it. But a couple highlights:

Lots of Plants vs. Zombie cosplayers! Mostly zombies and sunflowers, admittedly. But they seemed to be connected to the booth- maybe an indication of a PvsZ 2?

Powerglove! A metal band that covers songs like the Power Ranger theme, Pokemon song, and the Tetris music. Being at their performance was SO MUCH FUN! And their stage costume consists of armor made of koopa shells.

The Handheld Lounge- For those moments when you need a break, PAX has taken a hallway off to the side and FILLED it humongous super comfy beanbags. Grab a spot, settle in, and chill out.

Children of Eden demo- it used Kinect tech and your movements are the controller. It is super pretty! And it looks really awesome.

Had to miss Frank's game, but it looks like the group managed anyways. I definitely look forward to the next one!

I picked up a Lady Gaga album (Fame Monster) and a disc chock full of Chopin. I've been listening mostly to Gaga; I'm saving the Chopin for when I can relax.

I bought Lego Harry Potter (Years 1-4) a while back. Last nigh (or early this morning) I finally got 100% completion! There are a few achievements I have to get, but those should be pretty easy. It's mostly killing things with specific characters.

I think that's about it for now. Ciao! <3

Frank: D&D Session 2 Recap

So here's the recap for my 2nd session that was last Friday. It went really well and I'm very excited to continue on in April.

Frank: Quick Test

 This just some background info on my D&D game and I'm testing out a document upload program thingy. Briefing on the Feuding Ashdowne Brothers

Frank: Another Week Gone

So it's hard to believe how quick March is going by. It's already the 12th. St. Patty's Day is this coming Thursday, we bought the corned beef and cabbage for the house today. We're also starting some minor repairs and improvements to the house, which is pretty cool.

 I'm interviewing for a full time job at my current company, but in a different program. I'm very excited, I think I will be more comfortable in this new program and it will be nice to have a full time job. It'll technically be my 2nd full time job, but I don't know if the first one counts because I wasn't being paid for it.

This post turned awfully mushy and self-reflective. I should keep a journal or something. If you're interested in the mush of my life, check it out in the read more section.

"If Winter Comes, Can Spring Be Far Behind?"

So spring is FINALLY ALMOST HERE OH MY GOD TOOK FOREVER.

Yeah. I've been in a better mood because finally finally I can see grass again. It's still a bit chilly but I've decided to let that go and just enjoy the fact that it's pretty much safe to say winter is over. My life is going to be ultra busy soon between drum corps, the school musical, and graduating (!!) all coming up in the spring. But I'm stoked :)

Also, I just listened to Greg's audio post a couple of minutes ago. I normally read the blog in my web page design class so I kept forgetting to go back later and listen to it. Congratulations on becoming the official synopsis writer! THAT'S AWESOME!!!! Totally irrevelant but I wore my "Eclipse" t-shirt a couple of days ago. Thought of you <3

I figured I would start posting some healthy recipes on my posts. Here's the first one: Chicken and Couscous Salad

Have a great week everyone! Love,

Liz
