(no subject)

I had this update I was going to write about my non-exciting weekend, but right now I'm just sitting here stunned.

Bless people who are willing to sneak video cameras into theaters just to film the Rent trailer.

It's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. The movie is going to be amazing!

I have got to find a theater that's playing the trailer so I can see it on the big screen!

Things I accomplished this weekend

(and it's going to be a short list because I kind of did fuckall)

1. Pretended I was an adult and bought myself an actual piece of luggage. No more borrowing a suitcase from mommy & daddy when I go away. Now I have my very own!

2. Saw Crash. Very, very good movie. Highly recommended! Not a happy movie, by any means, but very powerful. It really dragged me in. Though I still can't stand Brendan Fraser.

3. Colored my hair. This was a must! Besides the gray(!) roots I needed to hide, the highlights Bren put in a while ago had turned really brassy due to the abnormal amount of red in my hair. I used a medium ash brown to counter and it turned out a shade darker than I would have liked, but it looks really nice. It still has obscene amounts of red in it! But the brassy crap is gone and my roots aren't glaringly obvious, which is what I was shooting for, so I'd say it turned out well.

4. Cleaned up the music files on my computer. This is what I spent most of my weekend doing, and yes, it's an extremely geeked out way to spend the weekend. But it really needed to be done. I had music sitting in way too many misc folders, and many of the files, especially the d/l'ed ones, were either misidentified or had names that were unhelpful. Unfortunately, the main culprit of this was the nearly 2 Gigs of Rent bootlegs, since the booters usually leave the files listed by number. I wanted them all listed by song and performer, so I had a little work to do, hunting down cast lists and such. But it's all pretty much done! All of my wandering folders have been condensed into 4 main ones - My Music (for CDs I rip myself), Downloaded Music, Rent Boots, Wicked Boots - with appropriate subfolders. All my video clips have been collected into either Video Clips, Rent Videos or Wicked Videos. All files are named and labeled with correct titles and artists. ALL of the Rent boots have been identified as best possible and renamed and relabeled. Yes, this took a good chunk of three days to complete, but now it's done! All I have to do now is go back and work on fixing the Genre labels for everything, which is pretty easy.

5. Watched WAY too much L&O: TOS and L&O: SVU. I really, really miss Angie Harmon & Elisabeth Rohm. I do not miss Dianne Wiest even a smidgen. I went & picked up dinner last night during her episode. =)

Things I did not accomplish: laundry; cleaning the kitchen, living room or bathroom; packing; burning CJ episodes for folks.

And now for the whining portion: Jeremy Kushnier is (supposedly) playing Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar from July 11-17 in Kansas City. There are still really great tickets left. I shouldn't buy them, but I really, really want to!

Oh, and if you didn't see it in dev's journal, she found some audio clips of Steve doing commercials. If you want a laugh, go here and listen to the Animated Yeti clip.
