Thrift store clerks in short, short skirts.

Quick update on how my summer is progressing. Sure, sure.

Took a ride to the cemetary today to see some lost loved ones and have look around. There was a wild turkey in the midst, and I snapped a few photos of it. I might get those up a bit later. They look a bit strange.. a few gravestones and then a turkey. Rather odd.
Then I was feeling quite ill (from what, I don't know) so I had to rush home and lie down for a while.
In other news...

Have landed a job with Spencer Gifts, and will be working with my father doing odd jobs to earn some extra cash under the table, since all of my other jobs have yet to come through.

Rather excited about the Spencer's gig, though... seems like a fun place to work. Tomorrow is my first day. It doesn't pay very much, but that's why I'll have dad there, to supplement it.

Starting to miss everyone a lot.

Oh I can still remember the sweet innocent days of summer, where you spent it eating watermelon on the porch and setting up lemonade stands at the beach.

Now you spend it eating cold food on your half-hour break and setting up a checking account at the bank.
How life changes.

Really quite good.

Really brilliant film. Saw this yesterday with mum after tedious hours of job hunting. I really don't know how they could make a fourth one, after seeing this. I don't want to give anything away, but perhaps if you see it, you will know what I mean. Mystique had some great one-liners, though... such as referring to one of the guards as a "meat sack". Priceless. It was really a gem though. There were even a few surprises thrown in. The X-Men movies are one of the few select series that don't easily grow stale, if you know what I mean. Like each installment doesn't lessen in quality. I'm glad the main people stayed on their contracts through all 3. Ian McKellen was outstanding, as usual, and Hugh Jackman did a wonderful job being the macho-man with claws, as well, haha. I'll probably see it again with Danielle and Caitlin next week. I want to. All-in-all just a great last installment.

Oh, and watch out for Famke. She's trouble.

Let us mend.

I finally got round to watching this masterpiece, and I have to say; it's one of the best films I've seen in a long while. Everything about it was right. It covers American music and pop culture from the 1920s right around the 1980s, by tracing the lives of a few young men. It features music from some of the greats (not to mention the animation was stunningly realistic). If anyone else is as interested in learning about pop-culture and music as I am, I highly recommend this. Great, great piece of cinema. O, the wonders you can find at a closing video rental shop.

That's all for now.

Pictures of Lily!

That's right... this is my beautiful guitar, Lily. I designed her on my own, and my father made her from scratch. Lovely little number, isn't she?

And in other news, I'm getting my very own kitty. :D Illegal none-the-less but very exciting. This will make 4 now, 3 at home, and one here. I heard his name was Buddy and he's about 8 years old. I don't care how old he is, that name has got to go. I can't wait to see what he looks like! I'm getting him sometime next week, and I'm sure I'll be posting some pictures.

I also might have snagged a job as a photo technician at the pharmacy. That should prove interesting, if I get it. Looking at other people's photos. Tehehehe.

Anyway, that about does it. This blog is really getting a full workout. I appreciate my newfound blogger friends on here, as well. It's fun chatting with new people.

Hope everyone's doing fine. I am. :)

Holy guacamole!

This is a Japanese Moon Goddess, made entirely of little bits of cut up paper. I bought it when I went to town the other day. This woman makes loads of these little paper cut outs. They are all so incredibly intricate and complex.. I was too in awe not to purchase one. Just thought I post a picture of it! I used Picasa to brighten it and crop it.. what a great piece of software.

Anyway, I guess that's about it. I'm starting work on some more In The Attic cartoons... anyone have have any ideas? I'd appreciate any input. :)

Cheers,

Can we keep him?

Wish I had a decent picture of something to post, but alas. I had to settle for a goofy irrelevant one. It's Keith Moon, giving someone an IGGY back ride! Guess who it is! XD

Found a kitten wandering around in the hall today. I let him inside and picked him up. Such a cute little runt, too. I held him and pet him and the two of us watched some television. You aren't even supposed to have pets here, which is why it was so odd to see a kitten roaming the halls. After a while, I figured someone was probably looking for him and I set him back down outside. Poor little fella didn't want to leave and kept trying to get back inside. It was painful to close the door on his precious little face.

Hope everyone's doing well and happy! I have a new favourite word; WILD.
Use it, but don't abuse it! And stay peachy.

Be friendly, befriend me now.

No more Chicago for Lynsey. :(
The directors couldn't get the rights, so now we're stuck doing "Into The Woods", which is dreadfully long and boring, in my opinion. On top of that, I don't know the music at all, and, while I'm a decent pianist, I'm certainly not the best one they could get. (The other one who "sort of" volunteered, John, is also terrified of doing this show, as well.) My friend Kassie, the musical director, is also noticably shaky on the music. I'm not feeling so hot about the whole operation. To be honest, I'm kind of regretting signing on. I did it to help Kassie out, but... *sighs*

Oh, what have I gotten myself into?
Hope you're all doing fine,
-L-

Zounds!

Happy Birthday, Pete! ♥
You're still a great source of inspiration to me. :)
Love, Lynsey Moon.

I wrote about my cat because I'm a huge dork.

My cat is a thrill seeker.
Can't say I blame him, though. With only the excitement of two floors inside and a two block vicinity outdoors, I'm amazed he doesn't go stir crazy. (Even if he is a cat.)

Mum says he's sneaky. I say he's daring. (Either that or he's bored.) She gets angry when he leaves furballs around the house. I'm still amazed at how his tiny skeleton feels as though it might crack when I pat him. His fur is just as soft and fine to me now as it is when I was seven years old. I love how his coat shines so brilliantly in shades of auburn and black when he sits in the window.

Sneaky? Of course. My cat is a bastard. He picks on the others, and he'll claw your eyes out if you even hold him wrong. But I still love to chase him around the house and hear his little feet pitter-pat on the wood floors. Something about the sparkle in his eyes tells me he loves it, too.
My cat is a thrill seeker.

I'm not sure what this is supposed to be, but I wrote it when I was watching my cat dart back and forth from room to room. He's an adorable little runt.

Finally!

Finally my second batch of ITA cartoons are up! (I'm warning you, I'm terrible at thinking up punchlines...)

Like I said, I'm just *awful* at coming up with punchlines! If anyone has any good ideas for ITA cartoons, I'd be happy to interpret them and give you credit!


Pete's Next Single... "Sunny Bunny Love Drop" will top all the charts! XD

Hope you all like them... and if Rachel or Mikey happen to stop by, feel free to show them on ITA! I'd be honoured! :)

Cheers, and hope everyone's well,

Don't be shy...

Exciting news, oh boy...
I've signed on to be the pianist in the fall production of "Chicago"... it's going to be heaps of work and commitment and such, but I'm still really excited. I mean, I already know the music. I've been listening to the movie soundtrack all morning (which is all I have) but it's getting me really pumped. I may even play the band leader as well, meaning I'd be introducing the numbers and such, and also, my favourite thing... "5, 6, 7, 8!" Kassie said I'd have to audition but that I'd probably get it anyhow. I mean I'm gonna be up there playing piano, anyhow, haha.
And I hope I get to do the fab 20s clothes... I've been looking for an excuse to get another corset... XD!
I'd go all out. Fishnets, hat, corset... but of course it's a long way off and I may not even get to dress up! (Aw.) But man. Very very exciting stuff, it is.

On a side note, someone decided it would be a great idea to pull the fire alarm in my building this morning at quarter to 4. The police are offering a $2,500 reward for anyone who knows who did it. Sod the money, I'll kill them myself, with my bare hands! Making me stand out in the cold for over an hour. In shorts. Half-asleep, with important stuff to do in the morning. Thanks, asshole!

Anyway, just thought I'd update about that. I get the music this summer, so it's work, practice, work, work, work, practice, work, and back here for another year of debauchery! Life, I love ya!

Oh and just quickly; the Harold And Maude soundtrack is making me so happy... I can't even begin to tell you. I've wanted this forever. Just... *squee*

I hope you're all well. I appreciate you guys so much. I might actually miss it here.

hehehehehehhehe.

This made me giggle like mad. (It's a picture Danielle took of the creepiest dinosaur in Disney.) I added the text. A-thank you.

Cheers, all! Cartoons for IT(L)A are on the way!

Let the night surround you.

Oh-so-exciting day today.
However I probably spent about $100 in total. Yeesh. And I only intended to buy an opera and Pete's Lifehouse DVD (which I couldn't find.)
I ended up buying Roger Waters' opera, "Ca Ira". Looking for that was fun. The clerk had no idea what I was talking about. It was either $35 with a DVD, or $25 without. I opted for the latter, despite my yearning for that DVD. Ah well. Life goes on. (Ka-ching, $25.)
I also saw a Who shirt, which I will probably post pictures of, later. I'd never seen it before, and it's pretty much amazing. It's big, but incredible. So yay. (Ka-ching, 15 more bucks.)
Then I saw a Go-Gos CD for $3. I wasn't going to get it but I mean... $3. Come on. (Ka-ching.)
Then we went out for dinner at Ruby Tuesday. I got my traditional chicken pasta with no chicken, har har. (Ka-ching, $18.)
Finally, some essential snacks from Target. (Ka-ching, 8 more bucks.)
And of course, gasoline, to make the trip possible. (KA-CHING, $35 freakin' dollars.)

Jesus Christ. I'm not buying anything else for like... ever. Man. This did help console me for not getting all those concert tickets. (Radiohead sold out in a record MINUTE. They were sold out by 10:01. How does that happen??? Anyway, I'm gonna go chill and watch Nemo for a while. Then later I'm going to break out the big headphones and listen to Ca Ira. SO excited. *beams*

Hope you're all well,
-L-

P.S: Those ITA cartoons are nearly ready! Promise! XD
