Dear Whoever,

The limited counter space is not valid storage for your dirty dishes. The stove is not valid storage for your empty pizza boxes. The living room table is not valid storage for the scraps from your projects. The drain is not valid storage for your old pineapple (?) dropping things on the floor and leaving them to be stepped on, or ground into the area rug is not acceptable. Spilling something on the stove and leaving it there to bake on is also not acceptable. In other words, presenting me with a kitchen in which I can not prepare food rations for my next round of calls (Because lets face, I simply don't have time to cook every day) is just not acceptable. Go suck a lemon.

News Reel from Arts School

2009-10-26T22:01:31Z

For those of you who have been hiding under a rock, for the last month or so, I've been working hard at school to put up our first production of the season. It's a Musical called 'Little Me' which tells the story of a girl's rise from the slums to attain wealth, culture, and social position so she can finaly be good enough for a boy 'Up on the Bluff'. Hilarious. Truly, it's rather entertaining.

For this show, I was put onto the Carpentry Crew. For those of you who may remember the near disaster that was building plat forms in grade 12 for 1837 (I'm looking at you, Jerry!!) You might be wondering wft?? Well I was too. But I survived. Not only did I survive, but I was put on the metal work, so I learned an entire new array of skills. Working with metal is so entirely different. Plus, now I understand the basics of welding, enough to keep the actors from dying at least!

It's been an amazing 2 months. I haven't worked this hard for as long as I can remember, but I've never had so much fun, and been so happy with what I'm doing. I miss you all dearly, don't get me wrong.. but HOLY HELL theatre school is wonderful, and the people are amazing. I feel as though I've set my personal bar quite high in this first production, and I'm looking forward to raising it for the next. Which is 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court' as in, a music rendition of the Mark Twain book. Yes please, do want. <3

We opened on Friday, and Friday, Saturday went well. Then Sunday rolled around. It seems that over night, the ENTIRE crew and half of the cast got sick. We also received confirmation that H1N1 has breached into the production and there are folks who have it. Which means that, in all probability, alot of us (including me) have it, or are going to get it. But we will endure and press on. For that is what we do. Today is a dark day, so no show, and I don't have class until noon tomorrow, so I am planning on doing some laundry, and then going to bed for like 12 hours and hopefully beat this thing. Because fyi, I'm sick too!!

We looked at our schedules today and realised.. we apparently don't have classes on Monday November 9th. It makes us very suspicious, but if it is true, I will be coming home to PA for the 6th-9th. So if anyone will be in town that weekend, look me up! Sadly, I won't make it to stoon because there are things I need to do at home. But I'll be thinking about you all anyway.

For now, I wash my stage black so I have clothes for tomorrow, and then I sleep.

Dear World,

Welcome to Tech Week. If you thought set building was busy, this is insanity.

Note: When welding and set building out of metal... always use goddamned jig!!! Also, probably telling you're teacher to 'Fuck off!! We can do this!!" (Note: This is considered friendly shop banter) is probably not beneficial either.

That was the preview, the story comes later when I don't have to leave for school in 15 minutes.

P.S. Invited Dress Rehearsal tonight, Preview tomorrow, Opening Night on Friday, wish us luck.. or someting... :)

I woke up this morning to find snow on the ground. I realised, I would need snow tires for Duke (my car). Okay, fine. I went to my Noon Rigging class. It turns out that this class is only for a half hour today, on account that we aren't really getting started until after the 'Little Me' run. I spent some of the time on that break talking to Dad about the logistics of getting snow tires for Duke (or as he puts it, snowshoes for my pony). He finds a place relatively close to the school, make arangements with them, and tells me to go in whenever. I get the brain wave then, that since I have still about an hour before my next class, I should run over quick and do it now. After all, it is only about 20 blocks or so, a couple of kilometres at most. Surly I can drop Duke off, and find a bus that runs back to the school. It's so close!

So I drive to the tire place, talk to the nice people, make arrangements for them to leave the keys in the car so that I can just pick it up after Crew Call at night and go to make my way back. I am a little sad because it is cold, it is windy, I don't have a warm enough coat, and it's later then I wanted it to be. There are two bus stops I can see. One, there are no buses coming too for at least an hour. The other, I missed by five minutes, it won't come back for another hour, and even at that I am still certain that neither of those buses would have taken me back to school. Now, I am very annoyed. So I begin to walk, in the windy cold, knowing full well that I can't walk back and make my 2:00 class, even if it's not that far. I just don't have the time.

At this point I tried calling my dad to see if he could look up where a bus stop was that had a route that would get me back to school. The line was busy. At this point, I would like to note that Edmonton transit is terrible. All kinds of terrible. Like, almost making me miss S'toon tranist terrible. So I walk. And I walk. And there are no bus stops along the road. I say screw it and cut through a parking lot into a residential zone. I see a cop outside an apartment building, walking back to his car. I run over to him and ask him if he knows where a bus route that will get me to school is. He says he doesn't know, he is sorry, but school isn't far from here. I start to leave and tell him I realise that, but I have a class at 2:00, and thanks for his time. He asks if I want I ride. I pause. I blink. I pause. I blink. I say, okay, sure. He tells me, he's sorry, but I'll have to ride in the back. I say no problem and jump in. He drive me back to school. I make it to class on time.

SUMMARY: I got a ride back to school in the back of a cop car. Go me. :)

Clearly someone missed a memo somewhere along the line...

Things I find annoying / entertaining:

Showing up for a 9am Audio class, Monday morning, only to be informed that the teacher was still in North Carolina and thus.. would not be teaching the class. True story. Next class isn't until noon. The fucketh sir, the fucketh. So what do we do?? Pile into cars and drive to the West Edmonton Mall (which is pretty close to school) for Breakfast / Coffee / Running around because we have nothing better to do. So all in all, the morning wasn't a total loss. But we all could have been sleeping. Especially since I had my first until 10pm day building today.

We started installing the set we built this past weekend which so far consisted of two deck / platforms at different various heights that encompass at least a third of the stage. It is so very satistfying to see our working coming together. It's a great Carp team that we have. I am slowing adjusting to these days. Some hour are easier than others. There are times that I am energetic beyond all reason, and times that I am worn out; nights when I go to bed stiff and wake up stiffer but I can say that I am really, really into what I am doing right now.

... but seriously... you think someone in the department would have thought to tell us our Monday morning teacher wasn't in the country.

It's a strange notion to adapt too..

2009-09-24T07:47:26Z

What I have done in school the last few days:

- Learned how to thread a sewing machine
- Learned how to soder electronics
- Paint, also know as mashing 3 colours together with various brushes and sponges to look at effects
- Built a Tool Box and Flat
- Disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled lights.
- Put tape all over a floor

In other words... WHAT THE HELL IS THIS REALLY SCHOOL??? Omg.. Seriously.. what kind of programme do you get to study Electrics, Sewing, Painting, Drafting, Sewing, Construction ALL AT THE SAME TIME?? What a random, random subject list.

Needless to say I am really really quite enjoying myself. I don't have a lot of spare time and I'm behind on both drafting assignments (god I suck at drafting) but I think it's going well. I'm enjoying myself at least. Oh Theatre School, how random thou art.

On an unrelated note, I spent like the evening watching Serena, one of my roomates play Kingdom Hearts 2. It was time well spent.

(Rob!!! At the Vivi cameo in the beginning in Twilight Town I was all.. ZOMG! Rob!!! </3!)

I figure that I should get back in the habit of using this thing. On the off chance that some of you care about what I am doing with my life over here.

Thus far, I am coming up to the end of my second week of classes, and things are already in full swing. This first month has basically been an intro to the various subjects we'll be studying, lights, sound, props, shop safety etc. Thus far everything has been review, except drafting. Oh god drafting will be the bane of my existence I am certain!! Please shoot me now. It's made better by the teacher, who is a jolly chap that reminds me of Santa Clause.

We're starting work this week on the first of our 3 main productions. All of the big shows here are musicals by the way, and this first one is Called 'Little Me'. I know nothing about it. By next week though I should at least know what my job will be for it it. I applied to be either an assitant for the design team or an ASM. Just for a change of pace.

On another note, there is a first! There is another Beth in my class. This just never happens. As a result of this... I may have picked up the nickname 'Izzy' as of the girls thought it would be a suting shortning of Elizabeth. Izzy eh? I smiled on the inside. I've yet to see if this will stick though.

Just out of curiosity, who might interested in a bit of good ol' relay fundraising and walking in circles for 12 hours?

I promise I'll try not to be out of the province the day before the event this time!

Let me just say, since there is a trend of praising and plugging that Philip Glass is absolutely incredible.

I encountered him about 7 months ago, in a class I was taking, and it is it arguable that it is some of the greatest music I have been exposed to in a very long time.

Also, if ever you have the chance, listen to CBC in the midmorning. I have the last few days and there is some wonderful stuff.

Just for fun. This is Sarah at one point in the evening

AAAAAAAAAAAnnnd.... The GASEOUS PLANET!

Sooo... how would you feel if this was YOUR Hair?

Oh.. I forgot to add this little memmo. We wanted to shave her head that night.. but... thought that doing it inside was too loud because it was 1 or 2 am? Maybe that was our logic? Whatever it was... we ended up in Robbie's Driveway trying to shave her head with buzzers that didin't work and instead inflicted pain. What interesting people we are.

This was just random enough to warrent a post

2009-02-24T06:48:04Z

You know you are back in PA when...

The other night in PA Kayla and I spend a good chunk of time just driving and talking. What a wonderful past time, it was lovely to revisit it. Eventually I got bored of driving in PA because lets face it, PA is NOT the most interesting city to drive around. So I decided that I would drive out to little red, loop around the back road across Hans Bridge and then head back into town. While out there, looping around the roads and trails and parking lots I found access to a road that I hadn't driving down, but had walked before, and so I began to drive down it. It was surprisingly very good for a back road through the bush so we followed it a while. Eventually we reached a point where I thought it best to turn back.. but ALAS!!! There was no space to turn around.. so I kept driving.. then I see a sign... "Canadia Challenge Sled Dog Race".... yes.. we had stumbled upon the dog sled trail.. and yes.. we were driving down it. Sure what the heck why not. LETS DRIVE THE TANK DOWN A DOG SLED TRAIL!!!! >.< right. Teach them to make a road good and wide enough for a SUV. Finding a place to turn around was tricky.. but IT WAS DONE AND ALL WAS WELL!!

After this little ordeal, Kayla decided that she was going to go run around outside. So I stop the vehicle and out she jumps - straight into a BUSH OF THISTLES!! Poor Kayla. She found a thistle in her knee still the next day. But not to be deterred, to finished the loop around the back and began to make our way back into town. On our way back up the cloverleaf exit onto the bridge (right by G-Pa's) there were two light poles on the ground, with a car, smashed, mangled, windows out, in all probability rolled at least once.. with it's head lights still on. There were no cops, ambulance or tow truck. SO I quickly turned us back around and doubled back to the crash site at the same time that another car pulled up from the other directed. Myself and the guys from the other car got out and went over to the crashed car, all of us wanting to make certain that there were no people inside unconcious and unable to call for help. There weren't, and so assuming that since no one was in the car, no people anywhere near by, we assumed that someone knew about it. So we went on our way, but not before I stepped into a snow drift, stumbled, and crashed my leg against the light pole. Nice bruise I has! Sure enough when we checked back in a little while, a cop car and tow truck were at the site, so all was well.

Then I went home.

SUMMARY!!!

-Went to the red
-Accidently Drove down a Sled Dog Trail
-Kayla inadvertently jumped into a bush of thistles
- We find an abandonded crash site
-Beth sustains minor injuries investigating the crash site

ANOTHER NIGHT IN PA!

And now for MEME

These are from Sarah

Cow Pants
When Sarah and I were in Grade 10, we found Flannel Cow Print material that we fell in love with. So we tried to make pants from them, and managed to succeed with the help of her Grandpa, and nourished through the tough hours by her Grandmothers tastey cooking! After that, we because very recongnizable in the hall. People would moo at us in the halls. Mostly jocks who thought they were being clever. It was a grand old time. I love those pants.

The Arcade Fire
Was the first concert that I went to (aside from Slipknot). I really enjoyed the Arcade Fire, and really, I still do. We had wanted to go, but tickets sold out crazy super fast. We were planning on searching for scalped tickets but then lo and behold!! Sarah's mom in all her wonderness informed dear Sarah that she had acquired two tickets for Sarah's birthday and so we were Arcade Fire bound!!! It was a very memorable show. Sarah passed out as we were trying to leave so the security guards took us out into the back ally so she could get air. We decided to chill there until Sarah felt better and to our surprise, there were some of the guys from Wolf Parade who had opened hanging around in the back. So we were all dude.. we chilled out with Wolf Parade in a back ally in Stoon.

Carry Me Ohio
Is a great song by Sun Kil Moon. It was on a perticularily good CD that I had burnt. There were a few days/evenings when we had some perticularily good conversations.. friendship forming conversations.. the kind that just stick with you and make you realise that you have a really concrete friendship and not something superficial. But everytime, we'd snap back into reality and Carry Me Ohio would be playing. It just got to the point where everytime I hear that song, it's associated with Sarah. It's a good thing.

Gaseous Planet
Could also be listed as GI Jane, Bad Haircuts etc etc. Sarah, (Facilitated by Amber!) had a do-it-yourself faze with her hair. It was black at the time and so we decided that we would dye the roots bright red and cut and style it. Come styling time though, we didn't know what to do. Robbie had the brilliant suggestion of a FLOP HAWK... and for some reason... we went with it. That was the first mistake and pretty much sealed the fate. It was a disaster. So Sarah decided that we should make both sides even. That ended up looking goofy.. so eventually she had the bright idea that we should keep one side hyper short the the other how it was. Let it be said that Amber and I told her we thought it was a bad idea... and we were not responsible for the outcome but away she insisted! She'll probably tell you something else, but this is my side of the story and I am sticking too it! Anyway, the split length thing SUCKED.... so.. we had to even it.... and... well by the time we were done.. all we had were strips and ridges of red.. that made her head look like a Gaseious Planet. We had to shave it all in the end, and Sarah was bald. In October. The first day back to work everyone looked at her with frightened looks. We thought it was funny. Well I did. Later, I was approched by a couple of co-workers who quietly asked me if Sarah was alright...I guess they thought she was sick with Cancer or something and lost her hair...I had a hell of time explaining the real story. After that at work Sarah was often mistaken for a 14 year old boy. Mostly I blame the potato-sack Uniform Shirts.

Sugar Cookie Macbeth and Pasta Invernes
Was a highly successful English, yes, English, assignment from Grade 10. After reading Macbeth we had to make a related project. Our first attempt was to make a song parody to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody.. but we never made it past "Macbeth, just killed the king, put a daggar to his throat, and he killed him now he's toast". Our second attempt was to make a model of the Palace at Invernes out of Pasta. But of course, it needed people! So we made Sugar cookie Duncan, and sugar cookie Macbeth with a sugar cookie daggar and the rest of a sugar cookie cast. I don't know what we did to them but they were THE WORST sugar cookies ever made, and they broke. We made the broken one Duncan since he was dead anyway. But THE VERY WORST THING was the 'Blood' We decided that we were going to make red icing for blood. The icing itself sucked. It was graining and liquid and gross... like.. not even close to eatable, and, somehow EVEN THOUGH THERE IS SUCH THING AS RED FOOD COLOURING... somehow... just somehow... it came out PURPLE... yeah. I don't know either. Needless to say we decided the kitchen at her old place was cursed. Perhaps the saddest thing was.. we got 97% on it. We lost the 3% only because we didn't do paragraph write up on it. Yeah.. I did say this was an english class...

So on that note, as you can all see Sarah and I are very special! *read: we have problems* but we've had some pretty deadly times I must say.

... That was probably the funnest meme I've done. I wanna do it again!!

I've been terrible about keeping this updated since coming back to PA. Forgive me!

The holidays have been quiet, and eventful in such a way that only PA can be. I enjoyed Christmas with Mom and Dad, and Christmas dinner parties with friends. I discovered that endless hours of Super Smash Bros, trying to unlock everything is both great and terrible for ones sanity! Geordie and Shar will be home from Cuba tomorrow night, so the day after I can celebrate the second half of Christmas with them.

I'm moving down to Sasktoon on January 2nd, and I haven't really unpacked from Vancouver... let alone sorting and repacking. Not smart Beth, not smart. I should be doing that today, but I am not, and so life will go on. My first few days in S'toon are going to be quite busy, trying to get settled in, and figure out what I am doing. Oh Sue, can you send me that proffs e-mail address again? >.<

While I am thinking about it... Happy Wedding Bells to robotty Congratulations, and I hope your day went well!!!!

Enough, I need to go do something productive.

Okay.. so here is my Random-Ass day.. or Random Ass-Day for you xkcd crowd.

I totally slept in.. which I really should not have done. But there you go. I got up around noon, got mad at my internet and then decided to go down to the Vancouver Art Gallery as I had to find a piece of art to write a Response Paper on. It was the first time I had been inside the Art Gallery. There was a really interesting exhibit of Art and the Femmenist Movement on and I was able to get myself onto a tour group that, instead of touring around listing to explanations about all the art, focused in on one area, and one piece and we had a group discussion about it. It was acctually really useful as it gave me a lot more insight to write my paper. :-)

After that I had planned to just go back up to the hill and do homework.. but I found that I really didn't want to go back. So I went across the street to a cafe and sat out on the patio for a couple of hours and drafted the body of my English Essay. I am going to have to find a good coffee shop, or a couple of good coffee shops in Saskatoon, since that seems to be the only place that I get any major amount of work done. So then I realised that I was hungry...I texted Anna to see if she wanted to come downtown and meet me for dinner. Low and behold, she was already coming downtown to meet some people later on. So I stayed at the cafe a bit longer. Finally I got bored of there and went down the street to the giant, 3 floors big Chapters Store to wait for Anna to call me back.

While there, I randomly encounted a guy from my 170 class and spent like 20 minutes talking to him about random junk. I know so few people.. what are the chances that I would meet up with one? Anyway, it was a good time. After he left I wandered around a bit more. Actually a lot more... it was like.. 8pm by this time and Anna still hadn't called me.. and I was just getting annoyed.. I was tired.. I had purposley skipped dinner because I thought I was meeting people, and I was pretty damn close to just going back up the hill when I heard her voice. In the Chapters. Silly girl had forgotten to call me! Ariel (another girl we know) apologised lots and lots, but I wasn't really that upset.

We met up with another couple of friends and then went off to diner (at like... 930.....>.<) We ended up on the famouse downtown Corner (in my mind called the Thailand corner...) at Thurlow and Robson... which everyone just knows as "The Starbucks across from the Starbucks down the street from the Starbucks" it was strange. Dinner was a fun affair... we convinced our server to let us pretend that it was Mikes birthday so we could have cake. She knew perfectly well that it wasn't, but gave us free cake anyway. :-)

After dinner we walked around downtown randomly. Then we got a call from another classmate, Matt, who plays a drunk priest at an interactive dinner theatre and he was calling to tell Mike that he had had Halle Berry at his table that evening. Mike freaked. I laughed. Damn these West Coast people and their celebrity crazes.

We walked down to the waterfront to hang out and Mike started taking pictures of us. Some random guy came up and tried to convince Mike to give him his camera so he could take a picture of all of us... and we were like... ah.... no. Far to many times people have done that and then their cameras run away with the people. The he went into the whole I want change routine... you would not beleive the number of panhandlers in this city... like.. wow.... there is seriously one of every block it seems. Especially on a Saturday night when all the people are out downtown. Like... seriously.... I'm not even kidding.

So eventually we went our seperate ways and went back to our sleeping abodes. And thus, what started out as a quick trip to the Art Gallery turned into a 10 hour adventure downtown. >.<

I miss you guys.

So Alecia has been badgering me update regarding the coming to Saskatoon thing, so here is the deal:

As most of you might have herd my rant, the mentality out here at this school, especially in the contemporary arts department is one should take a good 5 years to finish their degree. Now, normally I wouldn't have a problem with this, however, trying to take that 5 year contemp arts degree.. try and get another major in Computer science.. and you are looking at... well far more years then would want to put into a Bachelors Degree. Plus, I can't even get into the Comp Sci classes until next year because of my Math Marks. So. I am coming back to Saskatoon to work on my math (read: oh dear god smart people please help me I am going to die) get my first comp sci class (also read: see if this is something that I am acctaully interested in) and a couple of my social humanities credits. Then after this semester I can see where I am at. In all probablity I'll go away to theatre college for 2 years, (not sure where yet) and then after that I figure I should only have about 5 semesters left for the Comp Sci Degree.

WHAT THIS MEANS IN SHORT LANGUAGE

Coming back ro Saskatoon means I can cut down on the number of years I have to be in school, and also means that I won't be constantly trying to fight with making two different feilds mix. Yeah.. I tired scheduling both.. but it just didn't work. The classes *always* over lapped. It made me angry.

So there. See you all in S'toon after christmas

...not going to lie I'm really excited...

In other news, I have far too many papers to be writing right now.

I also feel really gross and not good. I haven't been sleeping or eating much lately. :-( I was so tired this afternoon I came back from class and had like a 2 and a half hour nap where I woke up, I kid you not, no less then 3 or 4 times. >.< Stupid food and sleep.

In more news! 8 Days until Dan is here (i still think rob should run away and come with them *ahem*) and 10 until Amber gets here. Which is sad.. BUT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH EFFING FUN... Totally haven't figured out what we're doing...

I am listing to the Last Saskatchewan Pirate as played with the Edmonton Symphoney. It makes me smile.

..So this critical essay I'm writing is dealing with the evolution of space-themed music as it relates to Gustav Holts - The Planets, Cosmphony (the bizzare piano peice) and... the movement of Afrofuterism.... >.< I think being an contemporary arts student is such a love hate relationship.

Just another Thursday

2008-10-24T07:13:49Z

Had a very random evening this evening. So random in fact it could almost be on par with a PA evening.. probably not Jerry's birthday.... but a PA evening non the less.

The Rhino show that I have been running crew for all week was an afternoon performance, meaning I got the evening off! On my way to the call this morning I ran into my friend Anna. In a split second I realise 1.) I was really really tired from the long hours at the theatre and 2.) In the last week I've hardly eaten anything and the thought of Dinning Hall dinner was really unappealing so I proposed the idea that we should go grab dinner tonight (Anna lives off the hill and takes pity on my res-life) She agreed!!

I was done with the show around 3:30. After that I met Anna and her friend Micheal at one of the cafes on campus and we chilled out. She had an hour of Psych lecture at 4:30 so we decided that I should sit in on it. The topic today was dealing with classic conditioning... and within the first 5 minutes some how we breached onto the topic of conditioning people to sexual fettishes.. like boot fetish!... It was a rather odd hour but over all it seems like an uber fun class.

After that psych class we met back up with Micheal and took off. Our plan was to find Earls in Metrotown (South end of Burnaby.. campus is way at the north) but three-quaters of the way there we saw a Value Village.... Instant side track. We spent far to much time running around trying on strange hats and halloween stuff. Got some great pictures as well. By the time we were done there we were friggen hungry!!! We tried to find Earls again but had no luck. We decided to go somewhere else, circled through the ally 3 times and did an illegal u-turn before finding a place to park. Only to find out that the place we wanted to go was a 40 minute wait... So we ran accross the road (Sarah and Rob, think Tran-Canada in Winnipeg) to get to a good Old BP's

After Dinner we ran to Superstore to buy a plate so I could reheat my pizza, then said good bye and went home.

Oh and have I even mentioned, people here are totally open to random encounters!! Especially in groups.

In the line at Value Village we got into a great conversation with the sales girl about buttons and school, which lead to me talking about my intended Theatre/Comp Sci/whatever and then the guy behind me was like 'Hey, I'm a 4th year CompSci at SFU!' and I was like... Dude!! So I chatted with him for a few minutes.

Coming out of BP's we started singing "Love me love me.. say that you love me" but couldn't remember the words, so a couple of ladies randomly started singing with us...

And in Superstore we had a great chat with the sales clerk about being random and crazy at work, and how if you have to be there, you should at least have fun...

Needless to say.. this is a really random place!

..Still miss you guys back home :-(
