Whitehouse
Tonight, I’m going with Karen, Cynthia and Fran to Whitehouse, which is this club in the hamptons. I’ve never been to a club before and considering I’m exhausted, feel sick and don’t want to move, this should be an interesting…

Movies Grossly Underestimate College Packing
So today, while I was sitting home trying to not have a headache or a stomach ache anymore, I was watching a movie and then fell asleep and woke up to another movie, Sydney White. It’s this movie with Amanda Bynes about becoming a member of a sorority or something and it actually isn’t that bad. It got me thinking about something though…
When she arrived to college she had 1....

John: Wow, you have no heart.

From the developer’s site:
Cooliris provides a lightning fast, cinematic way to discover the Web. Our plug in takes you to an expansive “3D Wall” that lets you browse thousands of images and more with...

Enrollment
So today starts enrollment for the spring semester here. It’s so weird that I’m already picking classes. I should clarify though - enrollment began on the 12th, but being that I’m a freshman and due to some formula that spreads everyone out, I can’t enroll until 10AM today.
Last night, the writing class I needed to get into was full, but now it looks like it’s open....

SUA ATT-P/EMS
Wooh! I passed my test. For those of you that didn’t know, I had my “Probationary Membership Test-Out Examination” last week. Basically, since the time I’ve started I’ve been learning things. This test was where I got to prove I was paying attention. If you passed, you’d be a full member and would be eligible to start a progression (either Driving or Crew...

John: Sure Trav, what's up?
Trav: You...umm...you know you're white right?
John: Oh yeah, I know.
Trav: Okay, just checking.
John: Thanks

Spring Schedule
How freaking crazy is it that I’m already figuring out classes for my second semester of college? How ridiculous is that? Anyway, registration starts tomorrow - but given my freshman status, I’m not eligible to register until November 20th. It’s not a huge deal for me because all my classes are VPA Drama only, so no one could take them if they wanted them anyway.
I had a...

This is an AWESOME application. If you have a Mac and use multiple social services like Facebook, Digg, Twitter, Flickr and want to keep up with a lot of RSS feeds, like blogs, etc. this app is awesome. It’s currently in Beta, so I’m sure it’s only going to get even better.
Screw SocialThing, this is what I’m using now.

50 Things You Didn't Know About Barack Obama →
This was actually really interesting to read. For the most part, he seems like a cool guy. Some highlights:
He’s read every Harry Potter book.
He uses a Mac.
He did marijuana and cocaine as a teenager.
His secret service callsign is “Renegade”.
He collects Spiderman comics.
He wears $1500 suits.
He rarely drinks coffee and never drinks alcohol.
He applied to be a pin-up...
OH Snap! Comments!
So, I think I found a much better alternative to Disqus. More on that coming soon. :D

Still In Tech
I’ve gotten lazy and just started getting on board the Reblog chain and haven’t really posted much lately. That would probably be because I started tech for my show yesterday. It’s s boring. The show is really simple, yet there’s two ASMs and two deck crew with a show that has:
3 props
no scene changes
no shifts
17 actors that are on stage the entire show
I’m...

Recalled
So my mom got a letter the other day about my car having a possibly defective part that needed to be checked. It was this piece attached to the master cylinder that apparently controls how fluid gets to the brake system. When I was home she told me she had made an appointment and just to watch and notice anything weird, like taking a long time to stop. I didn’t really notice anything and...

Heading Back
So this weekend, I was on Long Island. Long story, don’t feel like recounting every detail. I had a really good weekend though and I had a lot of fun.
Anyway, I’m at jetBlue’s new Terminal 5 and it’s AMAZING. Like, it was so well thought out and well planned and I had no an ounce of anxiety or anything like that. I didn’t feel any pressure, I glided through security...
