Public Speaking? ME?

Apparently I am going to talk in front of strangers. We have a poetry cafe tomorrow in school, which is really dumb. At least I am not reading a poem that I wrote. I also spent some time after school picking out monologues and scripts in the drama room. The idea is to pick up scripts for next year's speech contest, so that we can practice over the summer. I don't think I can memorize a poem that isn't made up entirely of real words. Here is the poem "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carrol.

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand
Long time the manxome foe he sought-
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe.

CWYS

I have hereby founded CWYS. It is the Coalition to Watch Yellow Submarine. We are watching movies in Holdenla's class, but they need to be rated PG or G. I thought that a great G rated movie would be Yellow Submarine, but he said no. I don't think this coalition will do anything, but I am angry! This is more like the peaceful alternative to spamming his email.

Autotune the News!

Look at this hilarious video. They are videos of news programs that are autotuned and remixed. This video gets better towards the end. Who would have thought that Ron Paul was a falsetto?

Star Trek movie best thing EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just saw the Star Trek movie, and it is awesome! I would have seen it yesterday, but I was at a Rainbow Connection meeting. I can finally attend them because the play is over. I was at the farmer's market this morning, and that was awesome too! I got a sticker that says " War is unhealthy. Aren't you sick of it?" and some awesome buttons too. So happy!!!

Opening night

Yesterday was opening night! I am a techie, so I am pretty much dirt. I am treated as worse than a chorus member, and yet I am semi-important to the show not failing. Samantha a.k.a the cat, fell down as she was leaving the stage. This could possibly be my fault. On thursday, Mrs. Taber and I talked about putting a friction mat under that step. Unfortunately, neither of us remembered, So it's kind of my fault. Sorry. But one again, the Beatles have not decreased in awesomeness!

This song seemed appropriate, because of the weather.
