Feeling the Christmas Spirit!

Thanksgiving hasn't even passed and yesterday I officially started listening to Christmas music.  The "Fishbowl" (a windowed room off of which all the theater professors' offices are located) even followed my lead by displaying its Christmas Spirit.

My favorite rendition of the Christmas story told by kids in New Zealand.

Frogs

There are instructions that go along with this blog post.
1. Press play on the youtube clip.
2. Scroll down and look at the pictures.
3. Enjoy!

"I heard about this frog..."

"and blue becomes red..."

"and red becomes blue..."

"and everything looks like a giant cupcake..."

"and you keep laughing and laughing and laughing..."

"its time to turn into a frog yourself..."

"do you want to play with me?"

"and in the bathtubs..."

"it would be great, right?"

Horray for Free Range!

You'll ne...ver...walk...alone!

So I've finished the Harry Potter series and I'm slightly disappointed in the movies, but that's how it usually always is with the book going to the movie.  The picture in my head of the story just doesn't add up with what  is on the screen.

So now that HP is officially read, I am now reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  Don't worry, its the more than complete one.  Pretty awesome book so far.  Not the best book to read while running lights for a show though.  I almost busted out laughing when Eddie the computer started singing You'll Never Walk Alone.

"Impact minus twenty seconds, guys..." said the computer.

"Then turn the bloody engines back on!" bawled Zaphod.

"Oh, sure thing, guys," said the computer.  With a subtle roar the engines cut back in, the ship smoothly flattened out of its dive and headed back toward the missiles again.

The computer started to sing.

"'When you walk through the storm...'" it whined nasally, "hold your head up high...'"

Kinda loving this song in this moment right now.  The color in the music video is kinda trippy.
