old
This tag is for all of my SUPER OLD Blog posts from both my original "free talk" section on my website (circa 1998-1999), and my blogger site A Day at the Races (1999-2008). I think there may also be some old livejournal mixed in here, too. This tag just delineates what is originally from those older blogs.

when i was in devo
As you may or may not know, I’m playing Miss Invisowrap in a small production of “May the Farce Be With You” nexty weekend. As of tonight, I’m playing Miss Invisowrap as Margaret Dumont/Mrs Rittenhouse from Animal Crackers. I even get to say “What in the world is the matter with you?” at one point. So, Miss Invisowrap, talking like…

when i was chopping away at a poster
So far tonight I’ve watched Life of Brian and Ever After. Don’t know what I’ll watch next. Recently I’ve seen The Incredibles (great!), The Changeling (talked about that already thought), Repulsion (creepy!), and both the old and new version of The Haunting. Randomly watched the crappy new one on TNT or TBS the other day – the day after, we…

when captain spaulding was french
Holy CRAP. Woody Allen’s “Everyone Says I Love You” (which I randomly left it on, having never seen it), has a scene with a bunch of people dressed like Groucho Marx all singing “Hooray for Captain Spaulding” in french. Best thing EVER. OMG that made my year!

when we needed to make room for italy
I just misread the name of the show “Make Room for Baby” as “Make Room for Italy.” I guess it was just wishful thinking, because I’d much, much rather watch “Make Room for Italy” than “Make Room for Baby.” Now I’m watching Kindergarten Cop. Who is your daddy, and what does he do? It’s not a tumor!!!

when i had a bad feeling
Today I got to school and pulled into the parking lot behind the art museum (since at the time I get to school there is never any parking open in front of the school). As I was pulling into the parking lot, this white mustang that was sitting on the grass down a little ways pulled out, and came into…

when the changeling was not scary
I have been so skittish lately, like freaking out over nothing, thinking I’m seeing things in the house. I don’t know what brought it on, but last night I had to watch ‘The Changeling’ for one of my classes, and my teacher had been going on and on about how scary it was. So I was like, crap. I’m going…

when i had hitler screaming in my ear
I just had my first basketball practice in 10 years. Oh my god I hurt. It’s been a long ass day, and now I have Hitler screaming German in my ear (thanks, history channel!) I’m going to bed now. I’m tired of all this. Oh, by the way, my Halloween pics are up – I’ll be making a lj post…

when i may or may not have voted for pete parker
So I got up at 7AM and went to vote. I’m sure as heck not telling you who I voted for. I never tell anybody, except my dad. I did have the chance to vote for Pete Parker in one of the local races. Did I take that chance? Only the voting machine knows… mwahahaha!

when i joined a disappointing fan club
So I got my Star Wars fanclub packet thing today (after nearly a year since I joined). It’s kinda disappointing. Two posters (both of which are ads for things – one for legos and one for a card game). A Return of the Jedi trading card, and some weird fold out thing with a picture of Jabba on the inside.…

Oh COOL! From IMDB: Hollywood hunk Johnny Depp’s wish has been granted – Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards is set to play his father in Pirates Of The Caribbean: Treasures Of The Lost Abyss. Depp has admitted that he based his character Captain Jack Sparrow on the aging rocker when he shot the 2003 hit Pirates Of The Caribbean: The…

So I installed Adobe Creative Suite on my computer last night. the latest photoshop and illustrator and.. uh… go live… in design… image ready… and some other adobe stuff.

when i lost a file
CRAP. I was rearranging files on my computer last night. Good thing, it was a mess. I go to open the fanart CG I’ve been working on for the past week, and guess what. It’s not there. Apparently I deleted it while cleaning out files. *smacks forehead repeatedly*
