Eleven Days...

I have eleven days until my semester is for the most part over. Don't hate me, but I don't have exams this semester. Instead, I have a lot of stuff that is due during the last week of classes. So, forgive me for not being around and probably missing lunch and generally not existing anywhere that you might expect to find me.

How busy and I? Well...

12/1-COMM 330 Quiz Paper due
12/2-History Presentation on How the West was Won: The American Western During World War II
12/3- COMM 330 Screenwriting Movie Paper due
12/4-12/5-Shoot the final two scenes of Tell-Tale Heart
12/5-12/8- Edit Tell-Tale Heart together

12/8-COMM 330 Final Draft 17-page script due
12/9-History 395 20-page paper due
12/9-Tell-Tale Heart due


Now, Thursday, December 10th, will be a wonderful day, but don't expect me to get out of bed because I'll probably be sleeping the entire day. :-)

See you all December 11th!

Amanda Palmer (Again!)

Oh, everyone's favorite Brechtian Punk Cabaret singer came back to Carrboro for round two of her Who Killed Amanda Palmer tour. I saw her in March and she was fantastic, and this go around, she certainly did not disappoint. Doing everything from mash ups of "Summer Love" from Grease with The Doors to a kick ass cover of "House of the Rising Sun" to all of her best songs from both her solo album (Who Killed Amanda Palmer) and her days with the Dresden Dolls.

Anyways, I really cannot describe what an awesome concert it was in words very well...so here are some pictures that I took from last night.

Hurricane Ida or, Why I wish it would stop raining.

Reasons for it to stop raining:

1) All of my clothes are wet because it has been raining.
2) I desperately need to do laundry, but can't, because I have to carry my laundry outside, and it's raining.
3) I have no rainboots because they are in Boone right now.
4) I don't like having to just accept that I'm going to be cold and wet for a few days.
5) Ida? What kind of name is Ida? Isn't that the name of that weird monkey-bird thing that was supposed to be the missing link?

Oh well...I'll come up with more reasons later I'm sure. For right now, I am sequestered inside (with my wonderful housing-provided space heater Spacey) and trying to decide if going out is really worth it unless absolutely necessary....

CONCERTS CONCERTS CONCERTS!!!!

It's November! Which means that it is time for AMAZING end-of-semester concerts. There are TWO amazing concerts coming up at the end of this month: First- Amanda F*cking Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls) is returning to Carrboro/ the Arts Center on the 20th. If her concert in March was any indication, then this will be an amazing show. Not like normal concerts- more of a sit down and watch this amazing thing happen than dancing to the music, but still fantastic. I'm so looking forward to it.

Amanda Palmer-Nov. 20th-9pm-The Arts Center

Then, the big one- Emilie Autumn is coming on the 29th to Cat's Cradle. EVERYONE SHOULD GO TO THIS!!! Well, anyone who likes Gothic/Industrial music should go. She's amazing and brilliant and I'm so very excited because not only am I going to a fantastic concert, I'm going to a fantastic concert with some of my favorite people. Concert + Friends = Fantastic.

Emilie Autumn-Nov. 29th-8pm-Cat's Cradle

Anyways, I'm getting super excited....9 Days unitl Amanda Palmer, 18 days until Emilie Autumn.
