It's like a gateway to look into people's lives and know them deeper to see unlimited disasters.
I will never understand why people flip "the bird" to the camera.
Really? What does that do for you? I can tell you that it doesn't make you look awesome, it makes you look like a tool.
Additionally, the occassional photo of a couple kissing can be cute, but I don't think that anyone wants to see people's tongues down each other's throats. G-r-o-s-s.
I guess a lot of these moments are drunken disasters, but I just never understand people's choices for photos, and why they venture on to post them on Facebook. I suppose to each their own, but I can't help but scratch my head.
Here I am, exactly 2 months since my last post, finally LOGGING IN to Blogger and now writing a blog. Look at me go.
It's the last Saturday of my Spring Break and I am finding myself with little to do today. I'm actually Facebooking from the computer and it seems like foreign territory. The only things I do on the computer lately are take attendance, read the local newspaper (woohoo.) and sometimes at home I use it to stream Netflix.
I'm officially in full-blown One-Act season, (our UIL play) which takes up my time these days. My typical day is go to work at 7:15, start rehearsal at 3:30, finish at 5:30, run any errands I need to after they all go home. Sometimes I go visit friends and family, and most days, I get home anywhere from 7 to 9pm, where I usually try to squeeze in an episode of whatever is on my DVR and then go to to sleep.
Exciting, right? Totally.
The play we're doing right now is An Enemy of the People which was written by Henrik Ibsen and adapted by Arthur Miller. I really do love the play. It is set in the 1890's but the theme of the play is timeless. It's about standing up for what is right, even if you have to stand alone. Anyway, if you're into reading plays, you should pick it up.
Our theatre department has been 'adopted' by the Alley Theatre, and due to this, we occasionally get tickets to shows, and we were able to see August: Osage County. If you're in the Houston area, I think it runs through the end of this month, and I would suggest going to see it. It was good.
And, since I'm discussing "the arts" and am an enthusiast of the arts, I will share another arts experience with you: The Blue Man Group. About a month or so ago I saw an ad that they were coming to Houston, and I knew that it would be something fun for Travis and I to see together, but I wanted to surprise him with tickets as a gesture of, "I know that we never see each other anymore, but I love you lots, mkay?" so I did. The plan was for me to not tell hiim until we got there, so I told him not to make plans for March 13th. So the day before the concert, he was asking what we were going to do, and it took me a minute to even figure out what he was talking about. I had completely forgotten that I had about tickets, when it was, etc. I've been so busy lately I can't remember anything anymore. So once I realized what he was talking about, I decided it was probably a good idea just to tell him about it, because I would have been really mad if I forgot all about it.
It was SO. MUCH. FUN. The music, of course, is fun and exciting, but the show itself was fantastic. All of the lights, special effects, comedic timing, etc. I highly suggest going if you ever find yourself with the opporrunity.
They started the concert with two scrolling marquees side by side, and one marquee would have basic rules, "no flash photography or videos" and the other marquee that was next to it would say, "Yeah, because shaky videos on YouTube suck." Well, being the rebel I am, I did take a video on the song where they encouraged the crowd to get out their phones. Whoops. :) I'll share it though!
This may be the most boring post ever. I apologize.
My name is Jessica and I'm much closer to being 30 than I would like to admit. I work as a teacher and I am fortunate enough to have the best husband and son a girl could ask for.
