[Link] | Um, yeah. No cell phone and no internet now. Meh, I don't like technology anyway. :P If you need to contact me you're gonna have to do it old school - like in person or messenger pidgeon. Believe it or not, I'm really enjoying the lack of distractions.

Dude!
Okay, normaly the Motor City Comic Con sucks - but....:
"We will be celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Batman TV series!
Come meet Adam West (Batman), Burt Ward (Robin), Yvonne Craig (Batgirl), Lee Meriwether (Catwoman), Julie Newmar (Catwoman) and Malachi Throne (False Face). Also, we will have an original Batmobile, Batcycle, Batcomputer on other props on hand for photo opportunities!"
For those of my less cultured friends, Adam West is also the mayor on Family Guy... he doesn't "play" the mayor - he IS the mayor. I've so gotta go & do a costume! Anyone else in for some Batman love? It's in mid May, btw.
Also, here are all the pics I have from the filming of the first episode of that sci-fi thing I'm in. Most of them are costume reference pics so the crew can remember what the hell thay did. There are a couple shots from the actual episode though. ( Read more... )

Filming, stuff, and the DSO revisited
 | You scored as Batman, the Dark Knight. As the Dark Knight of Gotham, Batman is a vigilante who deals out his own brand of justice to the criminals and corrupt of the city. He follows his own code and is often misunderstood. He has few friends or allies, but finds comfort in his cause.

Which Action Hero Would You Be? v. 2.0
created with QuizFarm.com |
LOL - how the fuck do you TIE Batman and Lara Croft? That's awesome. Now if only there were someway to combine the two... Oh yeah, you get me: a slightly bitchy, moderately attractive, Goth who fights with broadswords in a catsuit and a sweet-ass black leather coat. Well, there's my ego-boost for today.
Speaking of ego-boosts. Last night while I was filming the first episode of In Zer0, Russ called me to tell me about some reviews/posts of the DSO fight he and Wendy had found. Here are some quotes:
"Then I went to the DSO with Ben, John, and Joey...it was a pops concert featuring pieces from "Star Wars," complete with Stormtroopers and a lightsaber battle on stage. How cool is that?!" - julieandahalf
"Star Wars music as the DSO was okay. There were only a couple of really good songs played. You know, it takes a performance like that for you to realize how same sided most of the Star Wars music really is. John Williams pretty much...well....let's just say the music can get kind of boring. And, it bothered me that they used a little group of stunt people, it took away from the music, though I do admit that the battle during Duel of the Fates was cool, and the chick that played Darth Maul looked nothing like Darth Maul, and was hot as Hell." - refineddiscord
"One of the most notable pieces was duel of the fates. Duel of the fates, for me, is sort of a microcosm of everything that was wrong with Episode one. I really liked it when I first heard it, but I was like 13 at the time. Tonight it was greatly enhanced, though, buy a few very cool Ring of Steel (I presume) people acting out an awesome duel, which is to say, it was at least on par with the one from the movie, without the benefit of special effects or flight/jumping harnesses. I asked my self a few moments before the end "I wonder if they've figured out how to choreograph a complete disembowlment," and the duel's end didn't disappoint, with the two foes giving each other a final run, followed by a dramatic pause, and the fall of darth maulette." - Gobachi
"I have a personalized Star Wars license plate. (And I just got back from the afternoon Detroit Symphony Orchestra's performance of 'The Music of the Star Wars Saga- complete with choir and performances by the Ring of Steel Action Theatre, who did a great job with the lightsaber duel during the 'Duel of the Fates'!)" - Dragonwrangler
"While the music played three costumed actors -- Obi Wan, Qui Gon, and Darth Maul -- appeared downstage and did a very well choreographed re-enactment of the light sabre battle at the end of Ep. I." - Clintp
So that's way more than enough of that right now. Last night I filmed my part of episode one for In Zer0 and it was awesome. Everybody on the set rocks, very cool people. Me and the other Wolves got to have very stylized hair & make-up to look more bad-ass. I loved mine. I liked it - I looked like something out of Blade Runner. I have kinda a mowhawk that flows into a mane of crimped hair. The make-up was all dark purple/red bruise-ish colors that looked hot w/ all the black we had on. Then we all froze our asses off filming outside at night. Anyway, I might get to more about the shoot later, but I'm tired. Later.

***************************************
General Information on InZer0
OVERVIEW
Set in the near future in a post-apocalyptic world,
inZer0 is the story of an ambitious courier weaving
his way through a dangerous city. The future of the
human race is at stake as the population has been
decimated and is now sterile. Our courier finds
himself in the middle of this struggle and encounters
many enemies and allies along the way.
PLAN
Shooting for inZer0 begins in March 2006 with the
plan of creating twelve 11-15 minute episodes over the
course of a year (one episode per month). Shooting
will be the first weekend of the month (Friday night,
Saturday all day, and Sunday all day). When all
twelve episodes are complete, Thought Collide
Productions will use the series as a demo to pitch the
concept to the Sci Fi Channel (or similar network).
The intention is to not only gain experience in making
movies, but to master the art of production on all
fronts. Each episode will be complete in 4 weeks and
premiered at the Mitten Movie Project (held on the
first Tuesday of each month).

For those of you who were wondering...
Yeah, that sci-fi TV series project I auditioned for...I got cast! :D Not a big part but I'm kinda glad because they gave me a sort of gang member role (i.e. someone to get their ass kicked by the hero) which has me hopeful that they'll use me in a lot of episodes or maybe switch me around to be a fill-in-the-blank bad guy. I'm really excited, this seems like something I'm going to love playing and the premise for the series (which will eventualy be pitched to the Sci-Fi channel and other networks) is interesting. Like post-apocolyptic setting with aliens and magic. The kind of interesting that means it could be really cool or awesomely bad - but the wonderful kind of Evil Dead bad which makes me want to work on it even more. Anyway, I'm in the first episode and we start shooting soon. I don't have any lines, I'm just background muscle, eyecandy, and if I'm guessing correctly the fight choreographer/consultant. It's kinda of cracking me up. After all, my first role in Ring was also a bad guy lackey in the Ninja movie and that was just the beginning of a hell of a lot of cool shit *caugh*JediGig*caugh* It also cracked me up that it was freezing in the building we auditioned so I kept my long black leather zippery goth coat on and the script calls for the gang members to be dressed in long black leather trenchcoats. Dressed the damn part and I didn't even know it. I'm sooo happy and you can bet that if they need extra fighters for some big fight scenes I'll recomend Ringers. Only bad thing about this: the 12 episode series is being shot over the course of a year, so apparently I'm not moving anytime soon. Damn, I was beginning to like the idea of no winter. Oh well, it'll give me more time to save money at my new awesome job.

fluffy stuff
Don't feel like writing. I'm alive but haven't been home much at all lately. We FUCKING ROCKED the jedi gig. You know, I could get used to thunderous applause, cheering, and laughter from over 2000 people everytime I kill dave and russ.
I don't usually post song lyrics but you all need to listen to this bitch. It's just cool. Russ and I saw them in concert on sat & it was awesome. The group's Sonata Arctica (think Nightwish and Kamelot had a son) this song's called "Misplaced" but I'd also recomend listening to "Blinded No More" and "Broken."
Sometimes I feel so out of time and place,
trapped in a maze
As if I was lost in someone else's life...
The values I should keep in high regard don't mean a thing to me
Do you ever feel a need to go back in time?
A dream of mine...
To travel far away and one day steal back my life
In the end all I can do is to learn I live in a dreamland
This time was not made for me,
I have nowhere to land, no place to rest,
Like a bird, without a nest, I'm gliding
Under the clouds, forevermore
How much suffocated anxiety can be held within?
I was found guilty to a crime against myself
No need to hear the words again,
I live and I'd die for my dreamland
This time was not made for me,
I have nowhere to land, no place to rest,
Like a bird, without a nest, I'm gliding
Under the clouds, forevermore
I'll never have a chance,
I can't understand
I'm a misplaced man
How could this backward land
Learn to understand my dance?
What it's like, when
Every single smile hurts...
I have never felt like home here
Always missing something
People aren't connecting
Am I a misplaced soul?
I live in a perfect Hell,
I try finding my wishing well
When I drop my last tear,
I have accepted this life
A true saint, that I am not,
You have never seen me
’Cause I have always been there,
Standing by your side
[GUITAR SOLO]
I'll never have a chance,
I can't understand
I'm a misplaced man
How could this backward land
Learn to understand my dance?
What it's like, when
Every single moment pains me...
Never felt like home here
I am missing something
My soul's in a wrong shell?
Afer looking up their lyrics and finaly learning what he's saying (damn Finnish accent), I'm convinced that at least one of them is a closeted werewolf. :P A Finnish therian rock band. LOL.

Status Report
I'm trying to post about what's going on in my life right now but I can't seem to find a good place to start. There's been a lot going on and I haven't updated in ages. Let's start with my job(s).
Ok, as of tomorrow I'm quitting Berry's (FUCK YEAH). Would have done it earlier this week but my boss has proven to be quite elusive when I actually want to find her. I was offered a job as a caregiver a few weeks ago and after a lot of debate I decided to take it. Pros: a lot more cash (like 17 and hour), night hours, only one patient, work for a good family, the boss doesn't care if you watch movies or take naps as long as you do your shit, and I'm actualy doing something USEFUL. Cons: it's a lot more responsability. I mean, the worst that could happen if I mess up a Berry's then someone doesn't get cheese on their frickin sandwich. I mess up here and someone dies. I'm still optomistic about starting, they've even been paying me to train. Nervouse, but optomistic. Plus with cash like that, I can get the fuck out of here a lot quicker.
Ring's been awesome lately. Thanks to my Star Wars friends, we landed a gig performing a lightsaber fight for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra's all Star Wars show. We choreographed a kick-ass 2 on 1 fight (I'm the Sith lord!) which is possibly the coolest fight I've ever done or even seen performed while I've been in Ring. Even Maestro is geeked about it. Only bad/good thing is that we're performing it to Duel of the Fates which is over 4 minutes long. Any of you out there know what it's like to do a 4 min fight? Especially against 2 people? IT'S FREAKING LONG. Most fights, even in movies, don't last longer than a minute - minute and a half. I get to be a badass, spinny, Sith-Bitch of Doom and kill Dave. Origionaly I was going to kill Russ too but the DSO wanted us to follow the obi-wan - qui-gon - darth maul fight so Russ does a mercy-killing at the end so I can finally catch my breath. It's been awesome working on this fight eventhough we've had to pull some wierd extra rehersals due to Dave's Guys and Dolls rehersals(like tues morning from midnight to 2am at Dave's work place). We actually started working on this nice and early so the only complications have been Dave's rehersals, Russ hurting his ankle, and me wiping out at Berry's and fucking up my right wrist. I have a cool black arm brace now. *sigh* There are 5 performances and it looks like all of them are going to sell out. The theater holds about 3000 people, too. This is going to rock so much.
I'm not in school at the moment and I have no intention on going back next semmester. I finally accepted that I can't work, do Ring, and go to school and do all 3 effectively. I have to work and I refuse to give up Ring so that left only one option. I figure I can always go back if I want to but I really wasn't doing anything there. Iwas just kinda going because that's what you're "supposed" to do. I still think dropping out is one of the stupidest things you can do and I'd kick the ass of any of my friends if they were dropping out. It's just not where I feel I need to be right now. It's not like I was flunking out or anything (I'm smarter than I usually give myself credit for), I just wasn't really getting anywhere with it. Plus I don't have the money to take classes at the moment. So I'm focusing on fighting and making money...if only there were a way to combine the two....
I'm planning on being gone within a year, we'll see how it goes. No idea where I'm moving to yet. Was thinking seriously about Las Vegas for a while and I still am but I'm looking at other places too. All I know if that I want warm(er) and NOT L.A. It just screams "dead end" to me. I'm taking a trip out to Texas soon (unexpected trip) so I can check things out there but I've been thinking about San Fransisco too.
I got new fangs :) Good ones too. The guy who made them is really cool and it turns out he worked on Angel doing fangs for them. I've seen some of his other work and it's really damn good. He asked me to do some posing/modeling for his sculptures or bodypainting sometime. I didn't get a sleeze vibe off him and his shit's good so I said what the hell. Could be a lot of fun. Of course the first thing he suggested was Vampirella since he's on a super heroine kick at the moment. Yeah, her costume's kinda nonexistant so I dunno. I think I'd be comfortable enough doing that but I don't think I quite have the body to pull it off. At the least, I'm just flattered that anyone would put me and Vampirella in the same sentence, let alone her outfit. No plans to return to the fetish party scene but I've been getting a lot of offers to model lately. Not quite sure why. It's not exactly my cup of tea so I turned them all down. Kept the business cards, though. If I do any of this it's just for fun, not for trying to make a business out of it.
That's about all I can think of right now. I know there's more but I'm too tired. Alot of shit's been moving and changing for me so I've been really busy and stressed (in good ways). Between the working 2 jobs (usually on the same day), running what feels like a ton of errands, working on my costume for the DSO thing, trying to support my friends, and practicing that fight in every spare moment I have, I've been ehxausted. I'm going to bed. Love you all (well, most of you :P ).

WTF?
OMFG - PEOPLE ARE STUPID!!!!!!!!!!! Why does love make idiots out of people!? I'm so glad I stay out of this shit. I know Venus is in retrograde, but come on people: STOP BEING FUCKING STUPID!!!!!!!! In related matters: empathy sucks. Need to shield more.
btw, this isn't about 1 person; at least 3 have come to me today about this crap. What the hell? Like I'm experienced with this shit? Ok, let's take a look at Kat's dating track record:
#1 - decided after only one date with me that he would leave Michigan and join a seminary in New Hampshire (i.e. become a catholic priest). I think he's on to me.
#2 not much to say, lasted about 6 months. Wasn't that thrilling. We parted on pretty good terms.
#3 Sweet guy who will make a lucky woman very happy some day. Very smart and talented, plus he got me into Anime. We parted on very good terms (we even picked the same day to break up with each other, lol).
#4 waaaaaaaay too needy. Long story short: he feels betrayed that I dumped him and hates my guts for all eternity with a burning passion. I think he needs a hug, some Midol, and to grow a pair so he can stop relying on other people for his own happiness. But I digress. After our break-up he left the country, which granted me my International Super-Bitch status. ;)
So anyway, my point is that my batting average isn't great here. In fact, I'm waiting for #1 and #4 to team up and come after my ass one day. So why do people think I'm a good person to go to for advice about relationships!? You all are weird. You've seen what I've chosen: to stay out of them.
Look, I'm always there to listen to you - don't think that by posting this I'm trying to fend you off. I just wasn't expecting this much today. Bitchfest done.

Dear Santa,
This year I've been busy!
Last Wednesday I put money in ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) emilypokey's expired parking meter (14 points). In September I stole rosebriar's purse (-30 points). In August I bought porn for ladyjazz (10 points). In July I ate my brussel sprouts (1 points). In May kealurasia and I robbed a bank (-50 points).
Overall, I've been naughty (-55 points). For Christmas I deserve a spanking!

Cigar in your teeth and colt on your hip, you are ready to step into the hazy desert horizon. You'll do just fine. |

[Link] | Ok, after a bit of debate with myself, I've decided to post a couple pictures from the fetish event. At first I was thinking "well no one wants to know about/see that crap." Then I thought:"I'm not sure I'd be able to look my firends in the face after they saw this crap." And then I realized that this shit is just to funny not to share. I mean, it's re-fuckin-diculouse. Plus I know you can go get these at the noir leather website anyway, so it's not like you guys are the only ones who will have seen this shit. At least I can laugh about it with you. :)
( Me and some hot pieces of ass )
Personaly, I think that second picture is one of the best ever taken on me. Go figure. Oh, and in other news, I am now a Dark Lord of the Sith. Explanation later.

[Link] | The show went disturbingly well. Oh, and it wasn't a "bondage show" so much as it was a "fetish show." I think it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen or done in my life. There was some guy in a giant bunny costume with a chain leash on, and the most disturbing moment of the night was when I looked through the smokey darkness and at the end on the bar was a giant fucking TinkyWinky with a drink in his hand (the purple teletubby). And no, there was no nudity or actual sex. There were 8 other "performers" and we were dressed up in rediculose costumes and basicaly mad it look like we were doing soft-core porn during our 20-30 min sets. It was so damn funny. We had a big circular stage that rotated slowly, there were cages and iron maidens to play with and a few chairs & a couch for getting nasty on. Now, I've never had sex in my life - not even oral. I had no freaking idea what I was doing, I was just kinda doing whatever the hell the other characters were doing. I thought I sucked, but I got a hell of a lot of compliments from the audiance (and I figured at least one or two weren't based soley on the fact that I was wearing a skimpy stupid costume) and the girl who cast me said I did awesome and wants me again. Go fucking figure. One of the other performers said I was a natural. Boy, there's a comforting thought: hey mom - guess what I'm good at! 9 years of Catholic school, jeeze. I guess I should have seen this coming, huh?
I did have a lot of fun just because the whole event was so campy. There was really no way to take it too seriously and get nervouse. So like I said, there were 9 performers, including myself. A fellowship of wrongness. Here's what the back of the flyer says about the characters we had: there was "Tallulah - a saucy, drunken flapper, Vulvatia - an alluring alien, Mandy Millions - a spoiled rich girl, Naughtia - a dauntingly sexual warrior woman (really more like an animalistic cavewoman, we did a lot of rubbing up on eachother and she made the night a lot easier), Voxx - an androgynous rockslut, Aeval - a salacious faerie queen (a.k.a. the orgasm faerie. She's hit you with a flower & you had to act like you just had an orgasm), Ruby Littleton - a beautiful girl?, Doctor Kinsey - a sex therapist" They added me a the last min so I wasn't on the flyer and you know, I'm ok with that. I told them about the stage combat thing (trying to get ring some work & it may still happen) and they decided I should be a female Zorro...well "Zorra" to be more accurate. I was in a glorified black bathing suit with a mask, cape, and hat. And no, noone will EVER see pictures if I can help it. I'm so glad they gave me the one costume with a mask and a hat so my family might not recognize me if they ever stumble across pictures somehow. The costumes were nuts and it turns out the the guy who played Ruby was in KOI (ringers will know what this is). He quit cuz they were too performance based instead of education based. I told him about Ring and I think he might join. He'd be great for it too. Plus he looks better than me in a dress.
I don't know if I'll ever do this again, but I had fun. I felt kinda dirty afterwards, but in the end it was very satisfying to do some kind of performance. I am still disturbed by the fact that I seem to be good at it however. I need a shower and a smudge stick.

Hi!
Holy shit it's been a while. I'm still here & doing fine. Busy as ever. Been having some FUCKED UP dreams lately...a lot involving my Ex. One or two I'd just ignore - but it's been more than that. I don't remember any of the specifics, but does anyone know if he's ok? I know he probably still hates my guts (which bums me out) but I still give a rat's ass about him, and I guess I do still love him, so I want him to be happy and *insert other past relationship cleches here.* Anyway, just thought it was VERY STRANGE that he kept coming up over the last couple weeks. Ok, enough beating that dead horse.
Doing haunted hause doesn't suck as much as I thought it would without the stunt show - it's just nice to know exactly what we're doing now. I like fighting. If I get to fight, then I'm happy. Especialy if I can do it in tight black PVC catsuits and long black leather coats. Why? Cuz it's frickin' cool! I swear, the only time I'm not modest is when I'm fighting. I wonder why that is? Maybe I'm trying to channel some comic book chick or other badass female buttkicker when I'm doing it. Speaking of which: I was watching Bravo yesterday & Adam West (yeah, Batman from the 60's) narrorated a series they did on "Ultimate Super fill-in-the-blanks." I caught the end of their super villans one & the countdown for the Ulitmate Super Vixens. I say, I have to agree with almost all of their choices since they based it not only on movies, or TV, but also on the comic books. Here's the top 5: Xena, Lara Croft, Buffy, # 2 was ALL the Bond women, and Catwoman grabed the number one place. Not bad, huh? I'm not a big fan of Buffy or Bond but I really can't argue with them. It was really cool watching it, cuz even if some of those movies were horrible, the characters were cool enough to withstand it. I also hadn't realized how many much ass-kicking parts for women have exploded over the last 10 years. Gives me hope for my career. :)
And now: quiz!
(I can't believe how low my INT score was compared to others my age - I guess all I need to use my brain for is to determine whether or not I'm going to kill something.)
Ranger
74% Combativeness, 53% Sneakiness, 50% Intellect, 72% Spirituality |
Combative, stealthy, and spiritual; you are a Ranger!
Rangers are the warriors of the woodlands. Stealthy, skilled in combat, and capable of casting spells, they are fearsome opponents and skilled hunters. Rangers are usually accompanied by an animal companion and have a tendency to either use a bow, or to wield a melee weapon in each hand.
Sneaky, aggressive, and faithful, though not overly inclined towards that "book learning," you're probably a pretty dangerous person when you want to be. You may be a staunch defender of the forests, but I don’t trust you. |

[Link] | Renn Fest was ok. Very long and bright. Went to Necto last night with Amy and had fun. I think that's about it. Here's a test that was damn accutate except for the whole having a lot of money thing:
Batman
Congratulations! You scored a super 65%! |
| Cool, calm and powerful. Whilst your actual super abilities may not be anything too dazzling, you have earnt the respect of both friends and enemies in response to your amazing fighting skills, strategic combat and experience. Luckily you have access to the greens which can fund all your majorly cool gadgets, vehicles and weapons! Also, you're reluctant but still accepting to the idea of having a teammate/side-kick, which just makes everything a whole lotta fun, doesn't it now! On the down side, you've probably suffered some sort of trauma at a young age (that's why we don't talk to the old man near the swings, kids). Similar to the Wolverine, your past is a base for your current motivation, undertaking some kind of personal vow in search of justice. All in all though, you're one tough nut. There's not a lot of people who have the minerals to go up against you, and you're experienced enough not to get cocky and let the little things like never finding happiness get you down! |

schedual and life in general
Ok, this is just me trying to lay out exactly what the fuck is going on with me for the next couple weeks. I was gonna keep this privet but I figured I could post it incase anyone wants to hang out with me feels like figuring out which 2 seconds I have free. Feel free to totally disregard this or just skip down to the end.
-Fri 9/16- sleep in? Oh please oh please. Fucking yard work that'll take 3+ hours if I do everything I'm supposed to do. Get car insurance claim and all that shit taken care of. Ring gig @ 10 to 5. Wear Lara Croft costume and be prepared for children. grrr.
-Sat 9/17- work 9-5. This kills the rest of the day until about 11pm when I'll wake up again...just in time to find a costume for tomorrow (maybe something involving the new gold chain bra) and go to bed for:
-Sun 9/18- MRF ...ALL FUCKIN' DAY. up at 6:30am, home about 8:30-9:30 pm

-Mon 10/3- work.
-Tues 10/4- school and ring. Begin haunted house show work. Will be performing at the haunted house in Pontiac fridays and saturdays untill November starting 10/14.
-repeat normal week. Maybe on Sunday I can take a day off. But I also have to figure out when I'm dropping my car off at the shop for 10 DAYS to get fixed.
Now that I'm looking at this, I'm realizing how stupid this is. Let me break it down:
Kat is a vampire. This means Kat has no virtually no energy (esp. since Kat has trouble accepting help from other people). Kat is trying to go to college, work a mundane little job, and fight while still trying to keep in some kind of contact with friends (who I hardly ever get to see anymore). Being a low energy person, I have been forced to learn a rough idea of how I need to pace myself to get through shit (unlike some people *coughGregcough*) and this ain't it. When I was going crazy last year from doing the same thing except with 10 more school credits, I decided that I need at least one day off a week to recoup and get normal life maintenance shit done. I know that others out there have more on their plates than I have,and I wish them the best of luck with their shit, but this is starting to look like I'm trying to pull the Unpaid Stunt Performer's version of harakiri. I am already sick, exhausted, bruised to hell, and have about two nerves left between me and mass homicide with the one-meter broadsword. Grrr. Arg. *starts rubbing sore spots on body* WTF - I just found out that I can literally move the deep, nectarine-sized bruise on my upper ASS around internally about 3 inches in any direction... That shouldn't happen, right? Like, I can pick it up and move it. What the hell? Bruises shouldn't be able to migrate. What the hell did I bruise - my ass fat?? It's not like I've got THAT much or I wouldn't have gotten the bruise in the first place - oh wait. Never mind. Damn anemia. The doctors actually had me drink straight iron when I was little. You could blow air on me and I'd turn blue. Then black, purple, green, then that nice puke/highlighter yellow.*sigh* Maybe I'll take that break from Ring after the haunted house. I was going to a couple months ago but I decided I needed to stick through fucking MRF. I know I could never stay away from swords and fighting, but it'd be nice to actualy build my hit points back up again.

Well, hmm.
I guess these sites can get it right every now and then. From astrocenter.com:
"Aries September 9, 2005
Temporary upsets regarding money might result from the failure of computers, ATM machines, and other forms of modern technological financial management. Take care not to lose your temper over it. Instead, remain calm, focused and polite until everything is worked out. Your financial condition itself still looks very promising - it's just that the planetary energies don't favor machines today, so they may all go out of whack! Hang in there!"
Funny since I had a car accident about 11:30 last night. *sigh* And for the record: IT WASN'T MY FAULT (for once) and I AM staying calm about it.
Have I ever mentioned I'm not good with technology? I hate it. I'm amazed I have the capacity to post on LJ and charge my cell phone, quite frankly. I'm a low-tech girl. I fight with swords for fuck-sake! Not even something useful, like guns. No, I have to go for the broadswords, rapiers, and archery. Mainly the swords - but still. In an age where I could get my ass blown away by missiles or disintegrated by a nuke, I'm striking a battle stance and going "I will end you with my 32 inches of high-carbon tempered steel doom!" If it weren't for videogames I'd make some comparison of modern society to the Death Star and how we shouldn't be so proud of this technological terror we've created. Oh well, you know what they say: "Those who live by the sword die by the gun."
On a different tangent, for some reason a lot of people have been asking me about the movie I'm in, so here's some of the answers to the FAQs:
1.It's called "Crossover"
2.Wayne Brady's in it
3.I was a waitress...without too many clothes on - though you probably won't be able to tell with the way the set was, there was a serious lack of pants where pants should have been.
4.I don't know when it's coming out (within a year)
5.Yeah it was fun as hell to do it
6.I have a microscopic part (I don't talk) so assuming that the scene doesn't get cut you may only see one of my arms clearing away the plates in front of Wayne and the hot chick he's talking to. I'm in a few other scenes too, but in the background.
7. If you go see it later and want to look for me, I'm wearing what appears to be an extremely short dark blue/black "dress" with long sleeves and my long black hair's down. I'm also one of about 8 white people on set (out of the 80+) so my pasty goth-ness should help ya spot me.
On a side note, in the scene where I'm clearing the table I was only focused on not tripping in the 6 inch, 2-sizes-too-small heels on light cords and other tech equipment and not spilling the food on the actors - while I had a migraine at the time. So if I have a dumb expression on my face (ha. like you'll be able to see it) - THAT'S WHY.
In better news than the car crash, Dave and I are going to get our fight on this sunday for, of all things, a church out on the west side of the state. They called us and wanted an Indiana Jones stunt show. Remember the Indy vs. Lara Croft fight I mentioned months ago? Yeah, well just pretend you do. We did it for the 4th of July parade. Anyway, Tuesday night we managed to turn it into a 15-20 minute show. I think it's gonna go well. The fights are good and Maestro helped us bring the acting way up to "show" level. I'm just excited cuz I get to do a shoulder/almost dive roll over Dave in the fight. I know it's little and dumb but I've never been good at rolls so I'm happy that I can A) do it and not kill myself B)do it for a performance.
Still having issues with a lot of shit right now. Very restless and frustrated but I can't figure out what to do about it. K. I think I've run out of stuff to rant about. Gonna go now.
