ob-la-di ob-la-da…

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,

The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,

I can think of no reason

Why the Gunpowder Treason

Should ever be forgot.

so, V for Vendetta is one of my favorite movies – definitely in my top ten. and since today is, indeed, the fifth of november, i found it only fitting to include a snippet of that poem/song. so, here’s to you Guy Fawkes and your attempt to blow up parliament.

and now let’s begin…

1. i watched C-Span online the entire morning (your night) because i wanted to see the outcome of the presidential race. and i happen to fall into the category of an American who is pleased with how it turned out. also, i was quite surprised Indiana (my home State) turned out a Democratic vote. bwah? as did Ohio. actually, a handful of States did that are usually Republican…

2. so… you know how i’m a voice over artist? yeah. well, i think it’s starting to take a toll on my vocal chords. i mean, i talk a lot anyway (on top of belting out songs five shows a week when i would have a gig), – but this kind of talking that my job requires is different. i have been doing this for nearly six months now, so i’m surprised and thankful i’ve gone this long without any type of major irritation. on one hand, i’m stubborn and know i won’t seek any type of medical attention. because in my mind, the irriation-ness will pass. but on the other, i’m still going to be a Broadway star and probably do voice over work for a while… so if my voice goes, half of our source of income goes. and the only other thing i know how to do is make a mean cup of coffee…

3. which brings me to… “Jobs Danny Has Had”

in chronological order:
1. gymnastics teacher
2. daycare teacher
3. traveled for CCU with a camp team
4. worked in the CCU library for a summer so i could live on campus
5. barista @ Reality Tuesday Cafe (my longest job… a whopping 4 years)
6. paid actor/singer/dancer with a semi-professional theatre
7. voice over artist

so… in short, i’ve worked with kids, books (kinda), coffee, and actors. hmm…

4. ryan is leaving on a business trip to Singapore tomorrow and will be gone until sunday evening. i told him that i’d miss him terribly but i wouldn’t be bored. to which he replied, “i know.” it takes a lot for me to be bored. like, i could be stuck in a room that contained nothing, and i wouldn’t be bored. seriously. the only times i find myself bored are during things like meetings, because i have to appear attentive. don’t get me wrong, sometimes i am genuinely paying attention… but other times i’m thinking about other stuff. okay, most times i’m thinking about other stuff. anyway, the point is – i am rarely ever bored. ever.

5. i was thinking it’d be fun to work for the secret service. would i die for someone? probably not. but do i look good in black? absolutely i do.

6. i have an exceptional memory. for example, and i promise i’m not being dramatic, i know every single line from the Wizard of Oz. every. last. line. another movie i know really well… Tommy Boy.

7. in closing, here is a great scene from V for Vendetta:

annnd that’s all. for now. :)
