MOOP!

So, ages ago on the internet, I found this video, and tossed it into my YouTube favourites¹.



It's a whole bunch of people dancing to Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie". I like people dancing, and I like this one especially since it's got a nice batch of people, both boy and girl, having fun and, well, dancing!

Later, I found out about the wonderful, *wonderful* "Where the Hell is Matt" video:



Which, again, had lots and lots of different people DANCING. This time, from all over the globe. It makes me smile just about every time, and occasionally makes me all sappy and tear-up. This is because I cry a lot, but also because it's really quite beautiful.

One night while watching television, I was half assedly watching a commercial when my brain went "wait --what?" I promptly rewound (I love living in the future) and affirmed that, yes, this was the most awesome commercial since the Discovery Channel ran its "I Love the World" commercials. It's for Bacardi --Hey booze drinkers, is Bacardi actually awesome, or just really good at advertising?



Wasn't that completely rad? I make no claims whatsoever to the accuracy of any of the dancing, but it's got a nice song, and does a good job of getting the point across, even if it fails dance history forever. ((Notetoself: Point this at Susan sometime))

Lastly, there is this thing called the Brotherhood 2.0. It is a pair of brothers that decided to make a video blog for each other, and send vids back and forth. It is pretty awesome in general, and has attracted a huge following --what they call the Nerdfighters-- who are devoted to decreasing world suck. My friend Ria is one of them, and she's sucked many of the collegefolk into joining as well, at least in a vague sort of way.

Anywho...this is self explanatory:



HAPPY DANCE!

That's all. Have a good day!

Arg, footnotefail.

1: My YouTube favourites consist of "everything I might want to watch again sometime". Unless I bookmark a video instead, at which point, eventually I wise up. It's a pretty eclectic mix of videos, since a fair amount of it is music I want to listen to until I get around to buying it, and cartoon bits, and things people have linked me and all manner of nonsense.

EDIT in 2021 to update the links because something went weird with them

Anyway, two nights down, one to go for GREASE! (LRHS, tickets are ten dollars at the door, bla bla) so I might as well do a preliminary show report, because hell, I'm tiiiiiiired.

Granted, I'm tired because I got up at five yesterday to finish a powerpoint project and had to get up at six today (A Saturday, no less) because I had to babysit Kooberthy Jones. So it's less generally tired and more seriously sleep-depd.

ANYWAYS

The show has been suprisingly fun, for Grease. And I will say this, I hate the show, but it's one shining advantage (Besides the fact that the music's fun) is that it is selling. Thursday, we had about 300 people come, last night we're guessing we sold between four and five hundred tickets. So, we're *probably* not going to end up in the red this time around.

But it's been going alright. AND, I'm actually in it. This year, I have seemed to have a knack for getting dragged onstage for a few short minutes because we didn't have anyone else. (I played the message-girl in Night of Jan 16th.) In this particular case, one of the company members got the chicken pox, and so her partner for handjive was left all alone. I was running around, introducing myself to everyone on Wednesday, and Becca said "Hi, will you be my partner for the hand-jive thing?"

"Sure!" I say, laughing inwardly at the joke. Until I realize she was serious.

Lucky for us, I am a whore for the dancing (And for being onstage, I may as well admit it) and the part I had to learn was not entierly hard. So Thursday, before we opened, I learned the dance. And I didn't even need to audition!

As for the rest of life...

It's good. But *thump*

The Importance of Being Ernest (Which is mega-awesome, playwise) is being preformed at Long Reach High School tonight and tomorrow at 7 PM. Tickets cost 5$ for students, and 7$ for adults. I personally am not in or teching it, but I helped with the set some (which is Godly) and I'm going to be loitering around being hlepful.

So, for those who don't bother reading paragraphs...

What: The Importance of Being Ernest, an awesome play
When: Tonight (Friday) and Saterday at 7 PM (1900 hours)
Where: Long Reach High School (e-mail me for directions, or just google-maps it or something)
Cost: 5$ students, and 7$ adults

And the Why: is of course because Oscar Wilde was brilliant, and it's HILARIOUS! I saw it last night, so I can assure you of that one.

See you there!
