Listen, in the past 66 hours, I have maybe been asleep for ten hours of it. So just bear with me as grammer and things may not be great. Also, I apologize now for the infinite number of times you will hear...read various forms in the word convenient within this entry.
Life has been full to the brim of inconveniencies lately. Here bundle of them I have experienced in the past few days.
-I am being trained in Festival of the Lion King at Animal Kingdom. As a stiltwalker. I don't think I even need to go into the details of that inconveniency. It's pretty self-explanitory.
-Because there are safety concerns, we have brought out last week of rehersals to the stage. Which means that they can't start till after the last scheduled show that day. That puts us in at like 630pm and the rehearsal goes to one am. Also, they have kept me in my casting at High School at the same time. Meaning I have had 3 back to back 16-17 hour days. 8:30 am- 1 am. I am sooooooooooooo indescribeably tired.
-Today, I did Inconvenient Party Bash.
-Not having a car to drive off in at the end of the weekend from hell is not convenient at all.
-Recent confessions that have been made to me. Inconvenient.
-I find it so very inconvenient that I have to watch what I say on my blog. There is always someone I have to edit things for as to not offend. Everyone else seems to get to say and write whatever they want. I wish I could.
-I lent my iPod (Robin, is her name) to a friend for a few hours while I was at rehearsal so they could get some music. Hours later they haven't even made progress at all. Which I find inconvenient because I drive with my iPod. And with no music, I came close to falling asleep on the way home.
-I have been starving since 10:30 last night. By the time I got a chance to remedy that situation, however, every place closed. I have no food in my fridge and at this point, lack of sleep is the thing in more need of fixing so looks like I'm gonna go to bed hungry.
-The location of my new place is just so out of the way and inconventient. So is thrying to climb up to the third floor.
And now things are getting hazy so I'm gonna crash.

Picture This
My friend Tin Tin (who provided the image above) gave his thoughts on the 2010 Best Picture nominations and thus, I thought I'd give mine as well.
Unfortunatly, I cannot speak with a high amount of authority as I have only seen half of the nominees but here are my thoughts. If you hate me after this, well thats unfortunate also.
Of course, you have the Big 5. The films that would still have a nod even if the limit was 5.
- Up in the Air
- Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire
- Inglorious Basterds
- The Hurt Locker
- Avatar
Duh. I can say for certain that the 3 of those I have seen should absolutely be on there. Next are the indies. The movies that, while still great, didn't quite hit the big time.
-An Education
-A Serious Man
Finally, with three nods left to dull out, the Academy chose films that lotsa people saw. I can think of other films that should gotten the chance but what can I say?
- Up
- The Blind Side
- District 9
These last three is where I am pissed. First, Up is...up for Best Picture and Best Animated Feature. I really feel like that shouldn't be an option. We all know it's gonna end up going home with AniFeat so why not leave a slot for a different great work this year? Or if they felt strongly enough that Up is just so fantastic it needs to get put with the big boys, stand by that decision and don't be so afraid that if it didn't win anything Pixar would be upset and we can't have that. Baaaawk bawk bawk.
Oh District 9. I'm absolutely fine for it being up for technical awards because in those respects the film was great. However, if you wanted to give it up to a second sci-fi crowd pleaser, why not give it to a more entertaing and equally well made Star Trek? Booo on that one Academy.
All I can do about The Blind Side is roll my eyes and feel uttery exasterbated. I just...no. sigh
Those be my thoughts. Take 'em or leave 'em.

Home Decour
Ok, I moved. Finally. I finally moved. All up in my new place. Took my one day off and moved in a bed and just bought furniture and was up till one making it presentable. SO of course I wake up at the crack of 7:54 am. Typical.
This entire process feels like its taken entirely too long. Well, I suppose it hasn't but this is really the the first time I've moved into an unfurnished place so it's felt a little crazy. It's been epic.
However, however. It brought me to my first trip to Ikea. And I must say, Sweds are brilliant. Ikea is possibly one of the coolest places I have ever been. I know most of you readers have already had your Ikea cherry popped, so I won't/don't need to list details of said awesomeness. But there were so many room set ups that I just wanna live in. Don't have to move it's location. I'll just move to the 2nd floor of the Ikea building. That's fine. They have a cafeteria too. And one that isn't crazy expensive. And it tastes delicious. Melinda and I took a break from our casual browsing and got some cake.
A bookshelf, table, lamp, and a trip to Chipotle later, I was home to spend the next few hours putting all of the lovely items together. It was quite a day and I'm quite exhausted.
Happy Feb. 4.

Sheets and a Haircut
I bought sheets yesterday. For a bed. Sheets that are gonna be awesome on the bed considering the rest of my new room is void of furniture. I never had to buy sheets before. It was cool.
This is me in my car driving away from GreatClips after a little lowering of the eyebrows (thats an old-timey way of sayin' getting my hair cut. I know things. Its cool. I learned it from Doug).
This particular cut was accomplished by a sassy black lady who has not seen Avatar yet, but its on the top of her list. Her and her husband went and saw The Blind Side and it was amazing as was Edge of Darkness. She had no interest when I told her I was a character performer at Disney and went straight for, "Seen any good movies lately?"
That is my kind of...hair-cutter? Stylist? Barber? (I don't know the correct word for that. I mean, I can't know everything.)
Happy Third of February

It's fine, I guess
Today I hate the rain. There are occasions when I love the rain. Days where all you wanna do is go out and play and jump and kiss amidst the precipitation.
Today is not one of those days.
This morning I am sped to work as usual. I reach the Security...Mistess at 29 thinking I have a whole minute and a half to walk 12 feet to the time-clock. I get to 11 feet and find some 3rd shift hispanic man attempting to clock out. But he can't figure out how to do so. Four or five people are trying to assist but he doesn't understand what is being said and keeps doing it incorrectly. I am pulling my hair out because this is something that hugely irritates me. I don't care if foreigners come here. The US is awesome. The more the merrier. However, here we speak ENGLISH. How rude of you to come here and assume we will cater to your language. Whatever. I'm on a tangent. Pulling back. Guy, you're inability to speak our language is now affecting my day. Which is not ok. Bleegghhh.
It's fine, i guess. I clocked in the last seconds of 8:30.
Next, I get to the breakroom and find that the costume set in my spot is not mine. Instantly, I panic thinking I didn't read my schedule closely enough and I'm supposed to be at MISICI or something. But it turns out, I didn't have the mix up. Costuming did. So when I go try to switch out these clothes for pieces that are my size, I find the costumer has shut herself in with the costumes because "today, she just can't lose focus" and if we all walk in and out she will get all jumbled. Well, guess what sweetcakes? You lost the right to have that "unjumbled" time when you set the wrong freaking costumes.
It's fine I guess. I went in the back way and switched the costumes myself.
Its rainy. Has been all day. Which normally is a good thing and at points today it was good. I am completely exhausted and I needed to rest if I could. However, when it comes to Block Party, I'd so much rather do a Full show than a rainy day drive by. (Most of you won't know what that means, just know that to me (and me alone) a drive by is the suckiest of suckfests.) So the decision was made. Drive by. In the rain. Not thrilled.
It's fine I guess. I was done with work after parade.
So then it starts raining harder and due to the big cheer conference coming up, there is a tent being errected in the front half of the cast parking lot so I have to walk to the back, in the rAAAINNn, to get to my car. Wet and literally dripping, I stop at 7/11 to get a much needed Dr. Pepper. I go to pay and the transaction happens as follows:
Cashier: So will the be all for you?
Casey: yessir.
Cashier: Crazy rain outside. Did it ruin your day?
Casey: Yes, actually it did.
Cashier: Oh, sorry man. My companion went though my phone last night.
How is that on topic? Why is he telling me this? Just be nice.
Casey: Maybe you...should've deleted some things on there
Cashier: Yeah, I should have.
Ok, walking away now.
Cashier (cont'd): But like what was he doing going through my phone?
Whhhhhyyyyy are you still talking to me?
Casey: I don't know man. If you gave him reason not to trust you...
Cashier: He didn't have a reason not to trust me. Now I don't trust him.
Casey, leave now!
Casey: Sory man, Well have a good night.
It's fine i guess. I'm going to sleep now!
