my friends are so talented. and funny.

For those of you who missed Barry's recital:


Looove this song. HiLARious. There is much more where that came from. Love that the YouTube era means we get to watch our friends perform over and over again. It's like having a little Barry in my pocket! Which is what I've always wanted! Yay!

The Most Epic Game of Kings/Never Have I Ever, EVER

Awkward Holocaust jokes? Check.

The phrase "Never have I ever hooked up with someone in the branches of a tree"? Check.

"Never have I ever been aroused by an Animorph"? Check.

Awkward family stories? Check.

Sachi to Rachel: Okay, take off your pants and then smile.

FAP '08 is singing a song from their FAP pageant. It begins "Look up, child, what do you see?"

Alison to the seniors: I can't wait for you to graduate. Get out.

Sachi: They were both wearing barrels, like old time-y hobos.

Person A: Never have I ever been a total slutbag!
Person B: No no, I'm pretty sure you have been.

About the live blogging:
Goldenberg: Don't worry, none of these names are names that are worth anything.
Alison: No, mine is still worth $1.99.

Goldenberg: Call the awkward hot air balloon!

"Ahh, there's a fucking tornado!"

Rachel and I are watching Twister right now in Mather.(That quote is Rachel, watching the moving about tornadoes. Shocking.)

Seriously.


"...where's my truck?"

"Cow."

"...'Nuther cow..."

Love you all!

"Nothing! What's a motto with you?"

Heeeeee.....


Does anyone else have a hankering for Disney musicals? 'CAUSE I DO!!!!




Also, what ever happened to JTT? Remember when he was the big thing...?

I don't want to be mean, but...

Someone needs to stage a fashion intervention for Jordin Sparks. Like, now. In one night, she wore two heinous dresses:


On the red carpet for the American Idol finale and

In performance during the American Idol finale.

So I may be obsessed with the song "Tattoo", but no one can approve of those outfits. No one. Totally unflattering and frankly, they look poorly made. If I had tons of money and stylists I would look amazing every day. Not that I don't already. I'm just saying that it's a travesty of epic proportions when someone cute and famous just looks frumpy and famous.

Just had to share. Hope everyone's enjoying the beginning of the summer!

Why not?

It's just not fair. We can't pleat cute. Not even when we make this face:


Not fair. If I could, I would always plead cute. Or blonde. Or Dutch. But none of those seem to get me out of finals or theses...

AMAZING discovery

So I know all (or most) of the people who read this blog are my friends who are humoring my need for attention.

If I haven't said before, thanks for that.

Now I'm giving back, and not just in the form of wit and funny pictures of cats.

I just discovered this website while procrastinating: The Singing Stage.


This website is amazing. Want the original cast album of the 2006 Swedish Cast of Cabaret? Got it. Want the recording from the 2003 Actor's Fund of America Concert version of Chess with Josh Groban, Sutton Foster, Adam Pascal, and Julia Murney? Done. It's brilliant. I've been searching the blog for obscure recordings I've always wanted, and haven't yet been disappointed. This is like discovering LOLcats, but better.

Okay clearly I am making progress....

Not.

But still, had I been making progress I would not have discovered this video. And my life would have been that much sadder.

Who knew these two ever shared a stage? Why doesn't that happen more often?

Does anyone want to write this paper for me?

I realize this is a question every student will ask at some point, but this is a genuine plea for help. There is nothing to write about the Bestiaire d'Amour. Nothing. Whatsoever. That's why no one has ever heard of it. It is boring. Help.

Watch this:

Studying? What studying?

Fantastic times in the Quincy Grille. We are supposedly working. We are not really working. I am blogging. Sachi is talking about her hatred of ketchup. Rachel is playing with a photo-collage program on her computer called "Comic Life". Rheeq Rheeq and Barry are comparing their loves for Seinfeld and Bruce Springsteen. Much is being accomplished. Fun quotes:

Sachi reminisces about the "good old days" of New York City, back when there were blue MetroCards and other sundry wonders....

Sachi (in an old Jewish grandmother voice): Back when you could take a bath in the Hudson River it was so clean! And I bought my house for fourteen clams from an Algonquin named Joe. . . Joe Littlefeather.

Ryder: Joe No-sense-of-value.

Sachi: Joe Will-buy-anything-for-clams

Soooooo racist.

Sachi is reading a study guide for childhood. Not sure what that means. Rheeq says her childhood was delicious. Rachel is choosing bad pictures of me for her comic collage. There is an annoying beeping that has been coming from the kitchen of the Grille for OVER AN HOUR. WHYYYYYY???

Sachi on ROFLcon: You know, there's already a convention for the internet, it's called the internet.

then...

Do you not read the internet? It's really good.

Now Sachi says...

Sachi: I don't understand why we're all sitting here blogging. We're the only people who read each other's blogs!

Barry: Rachel's emailing. So is Olivia. I wonder if they're emailing each other. I hope it's about boobs, because they're girls. "Dear Rachel, I have two." If I were a girl I bet I would have big boobs. And a big nose.

Rheeq Rheeq: This isn't Uno's, this is the Grille! It's classy.

Sachi: I hate taking someone's pants off and finding something weird.
Barry: Like a cat?

Barry: Wait, Olivia's blog isn't on my blog roll! What is it called, "IDefyGravity12"?
Sachi: It's called "Blonde Redefined", it's not that far from "IDefyGravity12."

Hezzy: Last I heard you didn't have to go to a prostitute to get STDs.
Sachi: Oh my God! I've been wasting so much money!
Olivia: THAT's going on the blog.
Barry: Oh my God you're putting everything on the blog. You're like my high school friend Igor who carried around a notebook to write down funny things people said.
Rheeq: Wait, go back. What?

Watch this video:



It is priceless.

Come audition for STOP KISS!!!

WE WANT YOU!!!!

In the Loeb Drama Center, Rehearsal Room D, today until 7pm and tomorrow 12-4pm. Come audition for me! I love you! You're pretty!

A present for Alison and all you other lucky people out there:

Enjoy.

Oh how I miss my blog...

There is a song, on the last Monkey Puzzle album, that starts off, "Oh how I miss my dog." Well I do miss my dog, but I also miss my blog. Nowhere else can I put all my rambling messes and make them look cute and deliberate. Nowhere.

So I have returned to the realm of blogging! Wheeee!

Only after my HAA10 final have I been able to raise my cyber head and get down to business: entertaining my whiny friends. Why haven' t you posted in so long, Olivia? A valid question. Now I have posted.

In other, related news, I found a blog that has actually prompted me to start using Google Reader just so I don't miss any of the new posts. It's called The 15 Minute Beauty Fanatic and I think this woman has the job in life that I want. She give real-person reviews of all the trendy beauty products out there, and then you can actually see if they work. In the market for new mascara? Look at the 15 Minute Beauty Fanatic first! Awesome...

For those of you who know me and for some reason haven't paid attention recently, I am directing a play in the Loeb Ex next semester called Stop Kiss by Diana Son. I am holding auditions for the play THIS WEEKEND in the LOEB DRAMA CENTER RRD. Saturday 3-7pm. Sunday 12-4pm. Email me if those times don't work for you. I want to see your lovely faces!

Love,

Olivia
