On Friday night I went and saw Ricky Gervais.  The show was taped for his HBO special (airing sometime in December), so that made things a little more exciting.  There were a few cameras scattered throughout the theater and a bunch of wires taped to the ground.  They actually filmed him two nights (my night and the night before that).  I'll ( Read more... )

Last night I saw Regina Spektor! She was so freakin' good. Just wonderful. The audience LOVED her. I have never seen or heard an audience so crazy for the performer before. There was tons of screaming and people kept shouting things (I know this happens at most shows, but this seemed more extreme). There were a lot of people shouting "You're so ( Read more... )

-I finally got around to signing up with Netflix. The plan is for my sister and I to split the cost. We will use it for at least the summer months, and then we'll decide if we want to continue with it. Last night I spent a large chunk of time adding movies to my queue and rating movies that I've already seen. I just got two e-mails from them ( Read more... )

So, should I talk about Harry Potter? It seems the thing to do. I'm far too lazy to type out all that I thought about it (plus a million other people have probably said it already). I'll just give some basics: I got the book Saturday morning, read all day, and finished ( Read more... )

I was incredibly nervous about taking the train, but there weren't any problems. I always have such anxiety about taking public transportation. I was more worried about the train than I was about the interview. Anywho, I ( Read more... )

Last night was rough. I got into my bed a little before midnight, but could not fall asleep for awhile. Once I did fall asleep, my stupid brother woke me up. The kitchen and dining room are right next to my room, and he was in their at 2 AM rummaging around. Then I fell asleep again, but was woken up by a thunderstorm. 5 AM eventually came and ( Read more... )

I have another job interview tomorrow. Problem - it's downtown. I live in the suburbs of Chicago and have applied to jobs in the city and the various suburbs. This is the first time that someone in the city has contacted me. Man, it's going to be a bitch getting there. I would like to just drive down there, even though I know traffic will be ( Read more... )
