Just a couple days after I posted a link to the Fantastic Four teaser, the official trailer is out! Danke to Chungy for the link.
Wow. Blogger + Mozilla = teh crack. *pokes Internet Explorer with a stick*
Anyway, I hope those anti-gay conservatives are pleased. They claimed that gay marriage would be somehow detrimental to society? Well in Ohio, an amendment meant “to prevent gay marriage is being used to block the prosecution of people in unmarried heterosexual relationships who abuse their partners.”
Full article here.
Yeah, keep defending that sanctity of marriage, Ohioans.
*snorks* Go NOW to cnn.com and check out the headline. Utterly brilliant! Couldn’t have said it better myself.
If it’s been taken down by the time you read this, here’s a screencap.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Dear Priscilla —
We hope you will join the LADY IN THE DARK ensemble! You’re audition tonight was terrific — I would have told you on the spot, but Serena and I needed to compare notes on precisely what you would do in the show! (It’s that kind of show, at least the way we’re doing it.)
So… what I can tell you is that the role you play will be made up of several roles as well as a part of the ensemble in each of the dreams. Some of this is still to be worked out, and I’d be happy to tell you more about it. I’ll just say that the role is one I’m conceiving as a kind of mystery woman/alter ego to Liza. I think it will be very intriguing.
Please tell me you’ll take part… and let’s meet, so I can give you a script and CD, and tell you more about it.
Thanks again,
David and Serena
And in case you didn’t get that the first time, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Bwaha, just when you thought it was safe to go back to reading my blog, it’s the RETURN OF THE DEANSPAM! Because the DNC needs a doctor in the house. :D
And, like, y’know, so do a bunch of others.
Also, while we’re at it, there’s a petition on JohnKerry.com: Replace Rumsfeld!
Tolerance.org presents a U.S. Map of Hate Groups. In one of my cities, Racist Skinheads and Black Separatists. In the other, Neo-Nazis.
It’s been 37 years since Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. I feel as though we’ve failed him. Reading back through many of his speeches yesterday, I was moved to tears by the beauty of his vision and the truth of his words. And then I get linked to stuff like this and I think about how far we still have to go. “The arc of history is long, but it bends toward justice,” he said. Sometimes I just need to be reminded of that.
Okay, whoever turned our thermostat down to 68 needs to suffer horribly. That is all.
I just got back from my callback for “Lady in the Dark” and I’m just about convinced I got a role! In addition to the two leads (pre-cast), there are just two ensemble girls and six guys, and I think I’m one of them! The girls, that is! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, YAY!
They called me a “powerhouse soprano” and thought I was a senior because of my “poise.” The music director asked “So why aren’t you in the Penn Singers?”
Life is so good.
Sweet! Paid LJ users can go here to get comped 2 weeks for the outage over the weekend. Thanks to cousinjean for the link!
I’m so amused by this book I’m reading for my copyright class: “Twain started studying copyright laws during the 1870s when he lost substantial money to Canadian pirates.”
Canadian pirates! Of course, they’re talking about literary piracy, but still. *hums Arrogant Worms’ “Last Saskatchewan Pirate”*
Though the author did imply that computer generated works are not artistic, which does not serve to endear him to me in the least. Arrr.
