Oh, dear. How embarrassing.
but I forget who actually made it. Some genius. I get transfixed by this thing.
Yeah, so... I said I was doing a blog post a day, right? And that was... a week ago. So, that lasted until the second. Wow.
Basically, I thought I could manage that, and I was wrong. As soon as the play ended, I had to write two papers that were due the following Monday-- this past Monday. And then I had a presentation today and a project description due today. And I am just getting over a godawful cold that came to me on Friday, as if by magic sensing that a play was ending so it was time for me to get a horrible cold. Grrr. I'm okay now, though, and I'm not dying of the consumption.
The play went really well, by the way. My dress was lovely and my hair was also lovely. I never knew my hair could be so big. It was curled and then pinned up all over my head and then curled some more. And it bounced. Once I took off the veil/scarf thing I wore over it, I felt like a little girl at a wedding or something.
I have decided to make this entry an icon post, since while I was working on all of the papers and projects and things I've had due, I wasted time by making icons.
First, here are some more Jane Eyre the Musical.
I really love how the whole thing comes full circle for Jane, and she finally gets to have a family and a child of her own to love and not mistreat ever. I especially love the part of the finale where Jane and Edward sing to the baby: "I will never lose faith, I will never lose heart, for you have restored my trst" "And I know you're afraid, I'm as scared as you are, but willing to be brave-- brave enough for love."
And, also, I have been watching a LOT of The Office this past week. I'm on a major Jam kick. I am madly in love with John Krasinski, and Jenna Fischer seems like one of the coolest people ever. And the show is just so good. I watched a bunch of episodes with Bethany the other day, and I got some of the quotes stuck in my head. I iconned them while working on my paper. (Some of the quotes that got stuck in my head which are not featured here are, "Agent Michael Scarn, you so funny. Word." and "I fo'get it, brothaaa"-- Ryan as Agent Samuel L. Chang in Threat Level Midnight, Michael's screenplay which is read in The Client. Someone else had already made the first one into an icon which I stole, but the second may yet appear from me.) This week's episode was wonderful, by the way. Check out the producer's cut with deleted scenes.
Here are 10 The Office icons.
Michael Scott Quotes:
Pam Beesly quotes:
Jam:
Fancy New Beesly:
A modified quote from Jane Austen's Persuasion:
The full, real quote is, "but Anne, with an elegance of mind and sweetness of character which must have placed her high with any people of real understanding, was nobody with either father or sister; her word had no weight; her convenience was always to give way-- she was only Anne."
Replace the name and "father or sister" and if that does not describe Pam Beesly, I don't know what does.
Actually, a lot of The Office, particularly this season, is reminding me of Persuasion. I may go into this more later, but basically you've got the estranged lovers who have been apart for some time now being put back into contact with one another. They both still love each other, but he resents her for breaking his heart before, and so he tries to forget her and get with another girl only to find over and over again that nobody can replace the woman he has really loved all along. All Jim needs to be absolutely perfect is a nice, "You pierce my soul." I'm telling you.
Finally, I will go ahead and mention Whitney in this entry, because she was just here and wanted (I think?) to be included in this entry, and she is my friend. We watched Clone High, which is an awesome show. And, come to find out, it is available on YouTube, which is particularly useful when you have a crappy burned DVD that won't play.
