My Big Book of Grievances

• Some guy in the cast of Joseph keeps flirting with Lauren and flat-out propositioning her. And he KNOWS that we’re dating. That’s sexual harassment, right? If she tells him to back off because she has a boyfriend, and he still does it, then I’m fully justified to threaten to punch him in the face the next time he does, right?
• I’m so sick and tired of the few divas in Joseph. I’m done with the show, and haven’t been there for a few days, and I’m STILL hearing horror stories about these people. UGH. I want to go up to them after closing night and say “If I have my way, you’ll never be cast in Utah again.” I told Danielle today that I actually wish I was mean enough to say that. I won’t, but I definitely won’t ever recommend working with them to anyone.
• Have I ever confessed on my blog that in addition to my secret desire to be a Mormon pop star, I also want to create a Mormon soap opera? Well, I do. And it’s going to be based around negative stereotypes. I hate, hate, HATE negative stereotypes. But what I hate more than negative stereotypes are people who live up to them.
• I got a HUGE bug bite on my leg last weekend, and within a day, it was infected. How the?! As I type, I’m sitting here with my leg dipped in a bucket of water and Epsom salt.
• This new episode of Ghost Hunters is kind of boring.
• I really can’t stand it when people lie to me. I REALLY can’t stand it when people lie to Lauren and her brothers.
• I’m sad that I may not see the final performance of Joseph and that I’ll never see this production of Joseph again. I’m SO proud of it. If I do make it tomorrow night, I’ll probably bawl through the entire show. Maybe I shouldn’t try to make it after all.
• I don’t like people who get on power trips, say things they shouldn’t, and then don’t apologize, even though they KNOW they were wrong.
• I’m so sick of people who don’t know the word “please.” I drill that into my students’ heads. I won’t even acknowledge them if they ask for something without saying it. They’re called “manners,” people. Look into them.
• Why was I born with the world’s worst skin? I’m dreading the fact that I need to shave to go to Amesily’s wedding tomorrow. I could be a slob and not do it, but after seeing how shlubby the guy next to me looked at the temple the first time I went through, I made a goal to ALWAYS be completely clean-shaven when I’m there. Blah. Curse you, Amesily, for getting married in the temple!!! If I’m all razor burned tomorrow, it’s your fault.
• I was starving after rehearsal tonight, so I stopped at Del Taco. It’s starting to grow on me. It’s also starting to spill on me. Stupid fish taco. This stain better come out.
• I’m halfway through season six of Buffy, and even though the thought of Buffy and Spike together intrigued me at first, it now disgusts me. Also, how come when the show moved to UPN, it got trashier? The love scenes between Buffy and Riley, Buffy and Angel, etc. never seemed as trashy as Spike and Buffy. *shudder*
• The Wiggles.
• Dear Megan Fox, please put on some clothes and learn how to act.
• Facebook and Twitter are both bugging the snot out of me lately. They’re way too slow.
• Usually, when I see American remakes of Asian horror movies, I prefer the original. The only time this wasn’t the case was with Ju-On/The Grudge. The biggest reason I disliked the original was the pacing and the subplots. I’m finally getting around to seeing The Grudge 2, and it’s starting out with the most annoying subplot from Ju-On. Ugh.
• I got in a full-on argument with someone about a month ago about the fact that Little Shop of Horrors was not pre-cast. He swore it was, and told me some of the people who had been pre-cast. When he found out that I was the music director and that I had just recently talked to the director about it, he backed off and said that maybe I was right. I found out that just before auditions last week, he was STILL telling people that it was pre-cast. Out of all the rumors I heard about pre-casting, only one person ended up being cast the way it was rumored. However, she was not pre-cast. she was treated just like everyone else who auditioned. A few days after auditions, people were whining on Players Anonymous about how the show was precast. Ugh. Grow up. You didn’t get a part. Move on.

I think that’s it for now. I’m thoroughly creeped out by The Grudge 2. I think I’m going to stop it and go watch Buffy until I fall asleep. I’ll finish it when I’m not so tired. God bless On Demand.
