I am so unimpressed right now...
"The National Weather Service in Burlington has issued a Winter Storm Watch for Northern Vermont and the western slopes of the Green Mountains...which is effect from 6 PM Thursday through 6 PM Friday.
Rain developing overnight will mix with and then change to snow during the late afternoon into the evening hours Thursday. The changeover will occur first at the higher elevations...and gradually move to the lower elevations over Northern Vermont and along the spine of the Green Mountains. Snow will continue into early Friday morning...and then taper off to occasional snow showers during Friday afternoon.
Total snow accumulations will depend primarily on how quickly cold air can move into Vermont while a surface low pressure system develops rapidly Eastern New England late Thursday into Thursday night. There remains some uncertainty...but the potential exists for 5 to 9 inches of snow in the Winter Snow Watch area...with isolated 10 inch amounts in the higher elevations across the Northern Green Mountains."
I am in utter disbelief. It was almost 60 degrees out today.
I never use profanity on the blog, but this time it is necessary... Fuck Vermont.

And now I'm back. And that was a long day. Even though some of it was resting, it was long.

Well, time for bed. Sort of.

It's A Beautiful Day
It really is gorgeous outside. It's very autumnal today. There's a light breeze that makes it frigid, but when it's not blowing it's just cold enough to be perfect.
Today is Veteran's Day, and in honor of all of our courageous troops past and present, here is a video (courtesy of Rosie O'Donnell):
Dance rehearsals today. Just got finished with Jenn's Greased Lightning. It's not looking awful anymore. It's not looking good though. Oh, well...
Have a great Sunday, blog buddies!
**UPDATE**
PS. Go visit Philip Athan Frost's blog (Apple drink!). He's an interesting guy. The link is over to the left, under Check These Out. While you're at it, check out all of the links there.

Totally Apologize
Holy crap. I am SO sorry. I can't believe it's been so long since an update, but I guess sometimes you just get caught up in life.
Well, it's been a pretty boring couple of days anyway. I don't have to wake up for observations tomorrow. That's nice. It puts me behind a little, but oh well. It can't be helped.
I'm going out tonight. It'll be fun. I hope.
Quentin's coming over tomorrow night to watch Patch Adams. Amazing movie.
Tonight, I promise to watch Top Model and get caught up. If I have time, I'll watch Real World too. We'll see how I feel.
Well, I'm off. Till next time.

Umbrella-ella-ella...
Yeah, this post really isn't about umbrellas. I just have that song stuck in my head.
Oh my GOODNESS, people! I TOTALLY FORGOT THE ALBUM OF THE MONTH!!
Here it is:
Hairspray Original Broadway Cast RecordingWhy'd I pick Hairspray? Probably because I'm a bit obsessed with it right now. When I got an iTunes giftcard for my birthday, I bought the soundtrack to the movie. It blew me away. I loved it beyond belief. Then I borrowed the OBC recording from Dana and loved it too. Personally, I prefer the movie soundtrack. That's strange for me, because usually I prefer Broadway recordings over movie soundtracks. Anyway, you should go pick them both up or borrow them from a friend.
So, what'd I do today?
Woke up at 11:30 and went to lunch. I woke up earlier for breakfast, but I decided not to go. I was lazy.
Then I hung out in my room and watched the penultimate (second to last) episode of the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson on YouTube. I liked it.
Then I had to head over to class. It was an OK day. Theory wasn't bad, but Ear Training wasn't a piece of cake. We actually did ear training exercises. We were really rusty.
Then I went to Elementary Methods. It was a really fun class. Our professor's wife was a guest teacher for the day, and she was really good. We had a nice class.
Then afterwards, we (Dana, Josh and I) had to run to dance. I totally forgot we were showing pieces tonight, so I wasn't prepared really.
The Ghostbusters dance went well. Greased Lightning, not so much. It was the first time we'd done it without Jenn Lindsay either doing it with us, rehearsing it with us, or yelling the steps and counts out to us. It wasn't too pretty. Plus a lot of people were missing, but we who were there held our own.
Then I came back to my room and hung out. Watched CSI: Miami and two episodes of Tyra. Yeah, I'm that cool.
Well, that's all for today. Blog at ya tomorrow.

Moo Goo Gai Pain
Wow. Today was very interesting.
I had a nice day with Brittany and Josh. We got up early and took the bus into Burlington. When we got there, we went to Starbucks. Then we went into Old Navy (gag me) because Brittany and Josh like that store and wanted to do some shopping there. She ended up getting a nice sweater and a pair of jeans, and Josh got a shirt.
Then we moseyed on to Aeropostale. Amazing store. Love it. I bought two shirts for $7.50 total. I love life. Then we met up with KC and her roommate Sarah. We all went to lunch at the Three Tomatoes. It was delicious.
We parted ways with KC and Sarah, and the three of us went to an adult novelty store. It was fan-freakin'-tastic. It was so much fun. Josh and I had fun laughing at the funny porn titles. Our favorite was Moo Goo Gai Pain and One in the Pink, One in the Stink. Looking back, it's more amusing that Josh and I were browsing pornos together.
Then we went into Borders for a few minutes before taking the bus back. We got back in time to make most of Mal and Kate's dance. Then I went to dinner with Tara and Rayshelle and Lorena and Amanda and such. Good times.
I came back to my room and hung out watching TV for a while. Then I went and helped Brittany make her bed. Then she came over and helped make mine. Then we went to Late Night. When I got back, Quentin was waiting for me and we watched the Amazing Race together. It was fun.
Now I'm just hanging out enjoying the fact that I have no homework to do.
Here's a fun video for ya:
See you tomorrow!

Did I?
I don't remember if I posted yesterday... Oh, well.
Today was a nice day. I did my observation in the morning. I walked all the way over to the college apartments in 32 degree weather. I was frozen.
The kids were just awful, but that's nothing new. Some of them were doing homework in band during the rehearsal. Who does that!? Who allows that to happen!? It was ridiculous.
I got back, and it was nice that I didn't have to worry about voice lessons today. So I just relaxed and watched What Not To Wear on TLC while eating some microwave Hamburger Helper.
Then I headed over to practice piano, and Diane told me we could start our lesson at about 2:15. So we got started early. We ended up talking a lot so we got done about the same time.
Went to dinner with Lorena and her friend Carly. It was yucky. Oh well.
Came back and messed around with piano music for a while. Then went over to see Big Love again. OMG! I didn't talk about it yesterday! It was awesome. Lots of naked though.
Now I'm just hanging out and waiting. I'll let you know if there's any developments tomorrow.
Peace out, girl scout.
