I could just kick myself

[leighblack]

I was all excited to watch Steve's episode of Charmed when I got home from work yesterday. Only to turn on the DVD Recorder and realize that there was nothing on it. Even though I know I set it up. grrrrr... I'm sure I did something wrong though, so I have no one to blame but myself. And, of course, they're not running it again or anything. *GAH*

So I think I checked my settings about ten times when I set it up to record the Rent performance on the Today show this morning. I even briefly debated calling in sick so I'd be home to record it, but since my boss is out, that wasn't really an option. The show was already shown on the East Coast and the Rentheads are all ga-ga over it. They did both "Seasons of Love" and "What You Own." YAY! At least if I messed up recording this time, there will probably be a video of it up on the internets before I even get home.

I blame my stupidity on being exhausted lately. It must be the heat or something, but all I want to do lately is sleep. And drink water constantly. Today is cooler though, so hopefully I'll feel better.

In my never-ending quest to stalk Chad Stewart, I bought this CD the other day by a band called Triggerdaddy. Well, not a band so much. More like one guy I've never heard of (Tim Karr - who's rather pretty), with a bunch of guest musicians. Gilby produced it, which is how Chad got on it, I assume. Sadly, I'm such a fangirl that I can tell which songs Chad did without looking at the credits. But...they did a cover of Prince's "Peach" and that's NOT one of Chad's songs. Hello?!? What's up with that??

And...

Do you read my journal?

If you read it on a regular/semi regular basis, leave me a comment and let me know.

Then post this in your lj and find out who reads you.

Yes! And I'm jealous that you knew about the Today Show Rent thing because I would have recorded it if I knew.

Are you going to post screencaps?

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Ummm, I can post screencaps. Though I'm sure someone is sitting at home right now, furiously screencapping away, so I don't have to do it myself. =) I'll post it when/if I find anything.

[linaerys.livejournal.com]

You don't have to. I just love looking at pictures of Jesse L. Martin =).

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Who doesn't?? ;)

[cyberwuzzle.livejournal.com]

But...of course I read your journal, hon.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

*hee* Thanks!

[amazonqueenkate.livejournal.com]

I read you. (Even though I haven't been doing this meme for most people.)

The Rent performance was awesome! Hee. They're just all so cool. (And Jesse looked pretty.)

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

awwww...Well, now I feel all special and stuff. =)

I've been refreshing like a madwoman so I can find the video as soon as someone posts it. Because I can't wait until I get home at 4pm to see it!

[amazonqueenkate.livejournal.com]

Well, I wanted to reply to the Rent thing, so I thought I'd just reply to BOTH.

Yeah, my boss looked at me funny when I came into the office, went into the break room, turned on the TV, and then got all my work and started doing it in there. She asked what was going on, and I said, "The cast of the movie version of Rent is going to be on." And, thankfully, she'd heard me and Audrey talking about it yesterday and didn't TOTALLY question my sanity.

(By the way, have you watched the cast video clips on the Rent blog? Tracie Thom's is totally cute. "I'm, like, a Renthead. And they called me and said, 'Hey, Renthead, how'd you like to be in the movie? Would you like that?' And I was like, 'I used to stand in line to see the Rent, and now I'm going to be in the Rent?'" So cute. Hee.)

No TVs here. Boo. =(

There's a RSS feed of the Rent blog (rentblog) so it's on my f-list whenever the blog is updated. And since I happen to know the direct link to the video files, I can happily d/l them to my 'puter. So, yes, I have seen the video clips. Idina's is sill probably my favorite, but I loved Tracie's too.

[amazonqueenkate.livejournal.com]

We have a tiny one. It was grainy, but really? It was Rent! (And "What You Own" is 110% my favorite song from the show, so I was SO EXCITED that Anthony and Adam did it. Hee.) Idina's was funny, yes. "I never want to do this song again." And Taye's was cute when he made fun of Benny's style. ;)

[curls.livejournal.com]

Yup, I do indeed read your journal. And I'm learning all about your fandoms and interests. ;)

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Oh, and they are many and weirdly varied. =)

[daedalsobriquet.livejournal.com]

yes i enjoy your lj and i love your tags cuz today i was all damn i wanna see that rent video everyone was talkin about and i was like oh! leigh! tags! rent! voila! :)

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

*giggle*
Honestly, when they introduced the tags, I went through 2 years of journal entries and added tags to all of them. This is what happens when your day job is unfufilling.

I'm here for all of your Rent-related needs.

[xiolablux.livejournal.com]

If I had a basement I would like Tim Karr to live in it. Yummmm. And yes I read you.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Uhm....you know I do :)

Chad not doing Prince is a sin. Period.

Agreed.
