The Daily News
1 Great photo on page 2A of yesterday's Merc News. I wish I could get it up here, but my computer has gone wonky, which to me, is the PERFECT word for when your computer, well, goes wonky.
2 The photo has John Stamos, you know, Uncle Jessie? with Mary Kate and Ashley, only they now look like a couple of divorcees in the picture. They are cradled under each of his arms, only they have these ha-UGE Jackie Kennedy sunglasses, looking like each is wondering just where the next available nickel is coming from. They are poised in front of Walt Disney World.
3 I stared at it for like, a year yesterday.
4 You got it, d00d.
5 Have you guys seen Bill Clinton lately? His face has hollowed, and he looks like an owl that is trying to give a hoot. I goofed on THAT yesterday too.
6 Whew. Man. Curiouser and Curiouser.
7 Rehearsal for the upcoming One-Acts, A Love Letter, went famously yesterday. While we had some people missing, the show just has SO much soul and sweetness it is utterly becoming a work of art. If you DON'T know, it is entitled A Love Letter because it is my little play that is me, actually, saying good-bye to all of it: my wonderful Senior Class, my Drama Workshop, and everything I ever loved about that Theatre. I have little tiny messages and songs and things that are being planted in there as a wink and a nudge to the AWESOME alumni, who read this and either chuckle a bit each day, or simply push a quick "delete" each day. But really, it is sad, sweet, humorous, and just turning into a lovely little show.
8 It's been an emotional year, and I think this captures a lot of it, so look to seeing it either next Friday or Saturday, or the following Thursday, Friday, or Saturday nights at 8 p.m. All tickets are $5.00/ $4.00 with ASB card. I do hope you all come and see it.
9 So how was YOUR first day of 2005? We started off with a bang, organizing the Tsunami Relief effort at school, which I am calling the Tree of Hope. Evelyn Huynh, my personal heroine, contacted me immediately yesterday morning about arranging a matching funds deal with Yahoo. Alumni sent e-mails wishing us the best, and offering help and support. The National Honor Society, under the leadership of the very awesome Nancy Sim, joined in our effort so that we now have a united and eminent front.
10 So be sure to keep an eye out for flyers, posters, tables, and further information as it unfolds. We have a strong army working on this, just another battle in War of Love. It's not easy, but it sure is rewarding!!
11 Snow in them thar hills!! I absolutely LOVE when it snows on Mt. Hamilton. I have been up there a quite a few times when the sky would break, and it would always just dawn on me that snowflakes would stay on my nose and eyelashes...
12 Which reminds me, hey CHOIR!!! I am not only working on A Love Letter right now; I am ALSO getting geared up for another MUSICAL, beginning sometime in the next few weeks, so clear your after-school boards for a coupla months--the fun is about to begin, and it will be our LAST, and MY last play at Y.B., so let's make it a FUN time!!!
13 Aaron Rodgers of Cal terrified the entire academic community yesterday by announceing he was skipping his Senior year at Cal and go straight to the NFL. This casts a long shadow on the purpose of a college degree for any really talented athlete, really. They don't do that in baseball, so it will be interesting to see how this one plays.
14 Carson City, Nev. (AP) report gave us the story yesterday of the passnig of the last veteran of World War I in Nevada, Reuben Law, 106, who passed away on New Year's Day. In a recent speech, Mr. Law had this to say:
"I've guess seen it all. I've heard it all, I've done it all.
I just can't remember it all."
15 Amen, d00d. And sometimes, I just can't believe it all.
16 I have so much more to add, but I think I'll just hold off 'til the next time.
17 'Til the next time...
