Goodbye, 2009

For some reason, the fact that 2010 starts at midnight tonight really isn't a huge deal to me.

But, let's take a look at an overview of my year for shits and giggles.

+ Grayson County College from January till May. Ugh. I spent more time sleeping in my dorm room than doing anything else. I was so depressed. I just wanted to go back home, and was only happy when I got to come home on the weekends.

+ Hung out at the Highland Bordello every day after the semester ended, until 8 a.m. on June 2nd, which is the moment that, after having spent a few days cleaning it out, and all night that night, we left the empty house. The Goodbye Bordello Party, held on May 15th, was the party of the decade, and that's when I met John Chambers and James Palmer.

+ Lysistrata, DCT Road Show, and hanging out with Travis marked my summer. John Chambers came to visit a couple of times, and that was major fun.

+ I turned 19 on August 22nd.

+ Plaza Suite and school at North Central Texas College (Corinth campus) start up, August/September. In Plaza Suite, I spent an hour every night of getting dolled up in a wedding dress and gorgeous hair and makeup for one line at the end of the show. Oh well, it was a blast.

+ Talking of Michelangelo and more school for September/October. Worked at Costume & Dance World, then got fired after two weeks by the douchebag owner (not just my opinion; many people warned me when I started there). Talking of Michelangelo was hands down my favorite show of the year. Best. Cast. Ever.

+ Travis left for Shreveport at the beginning of November, and was there the entire month for Cameraman filming. I started on the nightmare project of The Beulaville Baptist Book Club Presents A Bur-les-Q Nutcracker. I was pretty unhappy much of this month, but hanging out with friends kept me afloat.

+ Travis came back end of November, and we decide to move. School ended at the beginning of December, and I made horrible grades, but I don't care: I'm not going back for awhile. Bur-les-Q Nutcracker drove me insane for all FIVE weekends of the run, until I collected my paycheck on December 27th. I had a great Christmas, though.

And now I'm here. Since I am moving to a relatively new location, I have no idea what's in store for me in 2010, but I hope it'll be a wonderful experience. :-)

Slap Chop... Hip Hop???

Oh. My. God.

Has anyone seen the Slap Chop commercial where Vince goes hip hop on us? I mean, this is REALLY on TV!

And maybe this has been on the air for awhile, but I don't watch a huge amount of TV, so I'm just now catching this.

I'm watching the VH1 Top 40 Music Videos of '09, and I haven't gotten to number 1 yet, but I vote for the Slap Chop commercial.

EDIT:

So, like, I guess I can't argue with "Poker Face" being number 1. I love Lady Gaga way more than I care to admit to my friends and family. (How can you not!?!?)

Blah.

I know, I know. Nobody even reads this. But if I keep (trying to) blog, maybe I'll come up with something interesting? I occasionally have something good to say.

I guess the most exciting thing that's happened lately is that Travis went to Shreveport and got a job as script supervisor for a low-budget film called "Cameraman," which started out directed by Emmy-winner Pruitt Taylor Vince, but the tyrannical writer-producer David Cole fired him. So, Robert Foster, the DP, became the director. Anyway, it's apparently going to be a terrible movie, but a nice paycheck and great networking experience for Travis. He got to work with Pruitt and some other great people. He already has another job lined up in January, with more to come, and we both may (not set in stone, though) be signed by an agent. Needless to say, we'll probably be moving out there.

Here's to breaking into the business!
