I wish I had a form of dramatic or musical ability. It’s such a pity; although musicals are not my favourite form of “art”, there’s something about them–the more cheerful ones, that is–that appeals to me. Anyway, most of my friends are doing an enaction of Guys and Dolls (or have been roped into doing it with unnecessary force.) Of course, it’s going to be awful: amateur dramatists, musicians caught halfway between a musical and exams and a pregnant woman and a old lady as stage managers–what could possibly go wrong?
Oh well, at least I’ve come across a musician who can a) actually play and b) is quite nice to listen to as she does it, too. I used to post music up, but apparently I’m not allowed to do that anymore. YouTube to the rescue! It’s such a pity they removed music videos in the UK, though. What a way to lose market share. Bastards. Anyway, the lovely Lisa Mitchell is the one whom I speak about, and here is she with Neopolitan Dreams.
It’s still stuck in my head.
I have discovered RentACoder. I can well and truly say that I hate it. How could anyone undervalue their profession like that? $5 for a piece of coding? Come on, that’s awful! After their extortionate fee, that’s £3. THREE POUNDS. I could find that much money on the street! It makes you think, doesn’t it, about what the point is to learning this type of skill to a professional level if it’s going to be undervalued by a cheap, foreign “programmer” who outputs more invalid code than a monkey who’s handed a copy of Microsoft Word and a keyboard. Eugh. No wonder we’re in a crisis.

Can I have you for 3 quid?
You may have me for free, darling.
Well aren’t I just the lucky one.
All the poor desperate guys who have to PAY for your services, and I get them free of charge (:
Also I want to be a photo, not just a white blob person!
Well look at that (:
*rolls eyes* Yes, Joanna…
Don’t you humour me, bitch.
Don’t slag off Guys & Dolls! THe pregnant woman and the old lady happen to be damn good! As are the band! And the principles! I’ll admit a couple of the boys in your year leave somewhat to be desired when it comes to ACTING (…and singing), but apart from that, we’re fine thanks very much!
I think you’ll find that I am free to slag off school musicals as much as I like, Lara. Ha! =P
ahaha I just read your spam comment.
I LLLLLLLLLLLLOVE Spamalot.
And Guys and Dolls.
Hey Jordan,
I clicked on the link and this came up so I checked it out!! This is awesome. I still can’t put a face to the name but I hope you are going to solve that. Ask Lara for my email.
You are awesome!!

Who doesn’t love Spamalot? It’s reopening! Only for about two weeks. But still. I’ve just found this post and it made me laugh. Actually laugh, not in my head laugh, but I didn’t want to say LOL. Damn.
Got something to say?
