Pnemonia and Other Unpleasantness

Thoughts for today from Amber...

So, my little brother has pnemonia. It's been pretty bad, and he's missed four days of school, not counting the two we got off for Thanksgiving. He's still sick, too. I'm a bit worried, but he doesn't ACT sick-- he's just got this fever and he coughs from time to time. I'm not really sure what to do about it; I've been trying to keep my distance so I don't get sick, though. Is that bad of me?

Sweet Sixteen

One more thing. Happy Birthday, me! Yeah, I'm sixteen today. It's pretty cool, and I've gotten basically everything I wanted. It rocks. ^-^

Harvey

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Okay, first of all. If you haven't seen the play Harvey, which I mentioned last Friday, GO FIND IT. I couldn't stop laughing ALL NIGHT. Basically, the play is about a man named Elwood whose best friend is a pooka, which appears to him in the form of a six-foot-one-and-a-half-inch white rabbit named Harvey. Harvey is invisible to everyone but Elwood, and the play is centered around Elwood's sister trying to commit him to a mental hospital. Much hilarity ensues, including the accidental committing of Elwood's sister rather than Elwood himself.

Everyone at GHS who helped to put on this play has my eternal respect and fandom, particularly Nathan Sheryak, Mallory Ward, Hannah Miller, A.J. Vleck, and the big empty space that played Harvey. If I tried to list everybody that was in the play, this entry would be much too long, so you all know who you are.

Harvey

WOO!!! Go GHS Drama Department! Tonight I'll be attending the school's rendition of Harvey, starring several of my friends and being lit, costumed, and stage-crewed by even more. I'll get a review on here ASAP, but probably not until Monday. So, to all my theatre friends: BREAK THOSE LEGS!!!

Youtube > Radio

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Okay, so unless you live under a rock (or possibly in another country; sorry, my Out-Of-America readers), you've most likely heard The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars. It's a good song; it's got a fun hook and a good beat. Still, you haven't fully enjoyed the song until you've watched the music video! I saw it last night--yes, I know I'm behind on the trends again--and I swear I almost died laughing. It was truly hysterical, and even more impressive since they did the entire video in one take (for you non-film junkies, that means they didn't stop filming or do multiple locations or anything. It was done almost like a play)! Watch it, and I dare you not to laugh.

*Yawn*

Oh my GOD I'm tired... I just couldn't fall asleep last night! Got maybe 2-3 hours maximum of sleep, which major-sucks compared to my usual 8-9 hours... Anyway, I was kind of thinking about the whole Zodiac thing, so here's a list of all the signs and what they mean about you as a person. For the record, I'm a Scorpio.

Aries - March 21 - April 20:  Active, intelligent, powerful, impulsive, irritable
Taurus - April 21 - May 2:  Clever, self-confident, tactful, sociable, intelligent
Gemini - May 22 - June 21:  Scholarly, polite, critical, shy, reserved
Cancer - June 22 - July 22:  Independent, harsh, unhappy, sickly, expert
Leo - July 23 -August 21:  Stubborn, strong, independent, humanitarian, generous
Virgo - August 22 - September 23:  Poet, scholarly, artistic, good memory, reserved
Libra - September 24 - October 23:  Tactless, arrogant, wicked, frank, pompous
Scorpio - October 24 - November 22:  Adventurous, bold, reckless, stubborn, impulsive
Sagittarius - November 23 - December 22:  Intense, reliable, happy, short-tempered, musician
Capricorn - December 23 - January 20:  Active, humorous, witty, stubborn, meddlesome.
Aquarius - January 21 - February 19:  Honest, loyal, artistic, poetic, self-esteem
Pisces - February 20- March 20:  Honest, unselfish, trustworthy, peaceful, gullible

So, it got me almost exactly. Anybody else?

Heywood Banks

Thoughts for today from Amber...

I forgot to mention: If you don't listen to Bob and Tom, you probably aren't familiar with the comedic genius of Heywood Banks. LOOK HIM UP ON YOUTUBE. IMMEDIATELY. This is NOT an option. Seriously, if you're still reading this blog, STOP!! Get thee to a Youtube page and Heywood Banks it up.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer et al

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Yeah, I'm having a Nerd-a-thon today. Buffy the Vampire Slayer followed by ANGEL followed by NUMB3RS. And then probably Scrubs. And Big Bang Theory.

All while I play Pokemon.

And I'm wearing my Gir sweatshirt.

11-11-11 is going to be fun.

Pokemon and Physics

Thoughts for today from Amber...

My weekend. Yeah, I spent all weekend on Pokemon (Platinum, for the DS) and my Physics project. Pokemon going well, but the Physics? Not so much... The stupid photoresistor stopped resisting about an hour into it. The whole thing is due this Thursday and it's not working. If I fail Physics, my life is OVER. (My dad's a physics teacher.)
