Okay so show me st. louis was giving away tickets to Meet Me In St. Louis (ahem my favorite movie) at the Muny (stage production) this Saturday.

They had a question, first person to call in with the right answer got the tickets.

The question was? "Who starred as Esther Smith in the movie version of Meet Me In St. Louis"

WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYYYYY couldn't they have come up with something harder? Anyone who has ever SEEN That movie would know that Judy Garland was in it... or even those that haven't seen it. Come on... they could have done better than that so that not as many people would have known it. What about Tootie? Katie? Agnes? Rose? The Mother? The father? Grandpa???

WHY DID THEY CHOSE A QUESTION THAT WOULD MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO GET THOSE TICKETS BECAUSE IT WAS TOO EASY????

*Sniff and sigh and goes to corner cause she can't afford any good seats and if she is able to go has to suffer through the free section where it's almost impossible to see anything good*

Heheheh, was on the left side of the stage, right up front...but can't really see much of that side on the vid.....

IT WAS AWESOME!!!

I turned into a screaming fangirl at fair st. louis tonight.

over the music group TRAIN.


BUT THEY WERE SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!




Oh well at least the lead singer is 40, and not a Jonas Brother or *cough* Nat and alex *Cough* which was the act earlier in the day.


Damn for missing counting crows last night.

Palin resigned!



Don't know why I'm happy as I'm not in Alaska, but ... I know you are!

*dork*

Um..well there hasn't been a time this week that I haven't gone to bed after the sun was up because I'm an insufferable insomniac who spends her time watching Friends on youtube and playing on pogo

Sheryl Crow is giving a free concert under the arch on July 11th during the all star break.

Now i just need to find someone to go with me.

I just realized that forty years ago today Judy Garland died and now I'm utterly depressed.

Okay so I'm moved into my itty bitty apartment in Lebanon, ILlinois, home of the oldest college in the state where I start school in the fall.
Big pluses?

My own place
small and well insulated, so won't run up the electric bill
cheap.
It's in the basement, and the only other apartment down there is unoccupied at the moment because the person who rents it is a track coach at the school, but he has a home in florida where is famiily is, and he only lives there during the school year... so i'm fairly isolated.
The laundry room is 10 feet away.



Minuses?
No tv yet.. my dad hooked me up with this antennae thingy that plugs into my computer so i can watch tv on there...but it's kind of a pain, and have to mess with it until I get it to come throug hwell without stopping, and not all the channels are working. (CBS for one), but I still get most of the main network channels after messing with it. (NBC, Fox, CW, ABC, PBS after messing with it a lot, and sometimes whatever network is now called "My")
The bathtub won't stop dripping. Dad told me to call him after a week in case anything else turned up.
It's REALLY small, not a lot of storage space, there's closet. The ceiling is 7 feet tall, and i have a 7 foot tall bookcase, which won't fit, so dad is going to have to saw some of it off just so we can stand it up.
It's isolated, so I dont' really get to meet any of my neighbors...unless they come down to use the laundry room
And the worst part for me right now?
I got a cricket broadband modem, plug it into computer connect and away I go.
One little problem.
IT DOES'NT WORK IN MY BASEMENT APARTMENT.
Okay sometimes it connects, but its slower than dialup and can't do anything, and it doesn't usually stay connected for long. Most i can usually do is talk on messenger.... can't browse internet or anything.
I HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE TO USE IT

So that's where I'm at right now, sitting on the front porch of the apartment building.

At least the first month was free.... and I think I'll keepit around in case I move in a year or something. (Doubt it but who knows.) I went to Subway yesterday (two blocks away! Another bonus!) got food and sat down plugged the modem in and browsed internet.


Oh well, it's still my own place, and i need to get charter internet phone and c able (oh yeah and a tv) for $70 a month for 12 months.
I don't ned a phone but if i just got internet and cable it would be $70 a month for 6 months.
'

anyway, I have to get going now, take a shower, etc etc. My sister's coming over and she's taking me shopping... ON HER.

Few things i need...a sizebable trash can, and other stuff...

and more groceries wouldn't hurt. I'm goin through my ramen cups like they're going out of style... it's not that i odn't have anything else.. it's just that they're so easy to make...

 

 

 

I'm way too excited about the fact that one of my favorite authors (if not my favorite) is my facebook friend and that she wrote on my wall.
