Dude. I had a really awesome evening. I went to a show at the Phoenix Theater, a local all ages club celebrating it's 100th anniversary. The place is awesome, they have shows every friday and saturday, and are open everyday after school as a safe place for kids to hang out. The inside is fully skate-able, and kids can practice graffiti inside if they want. And the building has been around, as some sort of a theatre, for 100 years now. As if that wouldn't have made for a cool enough evening, I spent almost the entire time talking and hanging out with this guy who works there who I've had a crush on since forever.

He actually sent me a message earlier today asking if I was coming to the show because he hadn't seen me in a while and it "made him sad". OMG I am so charmed! So we talked, and I got to stamp people's hands (yay! I am such a little kid!), he gave me his gloves because it was freezing, and we filled out a crossword puzzle and shared candy. And he wants to go get coffee or something soon. So yeah, color me charmed.

In other news, I need help! I have tried finding this on Acquisition and failed so I am calling on you, my powerful and generous friendslist to help me out. Do any of you have the soundtrack to Once More With Feeling (aka Buffy the Musical) and is there any way you could upload it to yousendit or wherever so I can have it? I have such a craving for those songs right now.

Also Buffy related, during my search for the OMWF Soundtrack I found the unaried pilot episode. It has a different Willow! Very weird! I think maybe I had heard about this but I was pleased to get to see it. The vamp-dusting effect was laughable, and they definitely changed some of the dialogue between the unaired pilot and the first episode, also the acting was, hmmm, fairly bad. But it was really cool to see. So, on the off chance that any of you are interested in seeing it and haven't yet, I uploaded it. Right click:

+ Today is October 22, the National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression, and the Criminalization of a Generation. Since 1990 over 2,000 people in the US have been killed by law enforcement, this doesn't include the thousands more that have been victims of police brutality and mistreatment inside the prison system. I'd like to urge you all to check out Octobber22.org and the Stolen Lives Project.

+ In other news, I'm cleaning my kitchen because it's absolutely disgusting. Seriously, we have a dishwasher. If you're going to go to the trouble of putting your dishes in the sink isn't it just as easy to put them in the dishwasher? It's half a foot away from the sink. I swear to god I'm going to break down and strangle useless!roommate someday soon. The boy cooks eggs every morning, leaves the pan with egg bits on the stove when he's done, and leaves his dishes in the sink every. single. day. He doesn't even rinse them off in the sink he just puts them in there and then piles more on the next day. Hate hate hate hate hate it.

+ I pimped justpopemotion yesterday, and today I'm going to pimp the NSYNC mix I made for it. The entry is here, tell me what you think!

+ Books: I've been reading Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials series. I'm borrowing them from the 8 year old I babysit. She read all three of them in like, a week and a half, I swear she's brilliant. As are the books. I've always loved the idea of multiple worlds/realities and these books are so complex! If you haven't read them and you're into fantasy/adventure type books I definitely recommend them.
