movie Eclipse, I have some concerns about what being a celebrity is. I get why Robert Pattison, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner's abs are famous and there's all this buzz about their careers and what not. But what's up with Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene. They're being toted around like as the next big things, and I hate to break it to Kellan and Ashley but you don't do much in the movies. In fact I'm pretty sure you don't even move the stories along. And why aren't the other Cullens in the Twilight movies reaching this celebrity status? Well if Kellan and Ashley can do it, then I will be waiting for that call from Rolling Stones interviewing me about my how my life has changed since being an extra in Fred Claus.
Tina, you got dance moves. I've seen you do your thing on 30 Rock. I wanted to let you know I started doing hip-hop and girl I got swagga. I can dance. I tried modern because I like watching So You Think You Can Dance but it turns out I can't do that kind of dancing. And I think it sometimes works the other way around because there are clearly dancers (like ballet, modern, jazz, etc) in my class and they just look awkward. It's like the dirty vs. the pretty. Hip-hop I can do because it's about personality and just getting down in, but I most definitely have trouble doing any sort of classical technique. I don't want to have to think if I'm pointing my toes, I wanna have fun. I think you and I need a dance off. Bring it Tina.
classes last week. I'm sorry I didn't write sooner but this blog didn't exist then and you were busy as always. I'm not mad. But yeah in writing we started doing blackouts, 10-15sec jokes. Oh why I'm telling you what a blackout is. Nothing is harder than blackouts but you basically did those every Saturday on Weekend Update, so I just have to work on it. Improv was really fun because a group came up with this clash of context piece: Amish girls at a bachelorette party at TGIF's. I knew once the line, "I'm whittling you something dirty," was said that this piece was going to be hilarious. It did not disappoint. It felt like a sketch that would come about during an improv set like "Wicked" that you and Rachel Dratch did. I'm thinking about writing a sketch for it because it would fit into a sketch revue. Next we did an exercise in which we used a dry erase board as anything but a dry erase board. People were quite clever with it, using it as a face that would continually change expressions and backgrounds as the scene went on. In my scene with the dry erase board/Mormon husband, he kept trying to caress me. I think inanimate objects trying to caress you is always funny. Even the word caress is fun. In reference to my earlier post, why aren't these people in my writing and improv classes receiving the scholarships? I see actual potential.
glasses. Those would look stellar on me.shoes for like $80 in camel and black and yes I bought both. Not only are they classy but they have my, well Michael's, initials on them. Holla! I showed up for rehearsal in them and I turned people's heads...toward my feet. Oh yeah. Tina, I think you totally need a pair. Although I'm sure people are just giving you designer things now. Don't be afraid to take a chance with fashion. People like us we like our jeans, comfy shirt (usually the fitted plaid shirt), and Converse. But when we find something that fits our body and style, we work it. Classic never goes out of style, hence the name, but you know that
in a department store I won't mention. (TOMS is the company that gives away a pair of shoes to a kid in need when you buy a pair of shoes for your fashion needs.) Kill two birds with one stone: to be fashionable and charitable. Anyways the salesman was so annoyed that I said I wasn't sure if I wanted the color I tried on, and walked away. He also had no personality. How do you live that way sir? Instead of giving him the pleasure of his commission, I decided to go to the register myself to order the shoes in a diff. color. First tipoff I was going to have continually bad customer service, I was ignored even though salespeople looked directly at me. I say hello first to get their attention, which should never be the case. Then the salesgirl who "helped" me looked at me as if I've done something terribly wrong by coming to her register. She puts the info into the computer and instead of telling me that I would need to go to a different register to do this she says passively aggressive to her co-worker, "Well she wants to order it here." When she hands me the receipt I thank her even though she didn't deserve it and instead of responding anything back to me, she too just walks away. What the hell?! I've worked on the other side of the counter too people, so don't get me wrong. I'm nothing but courteous, polite, and efficient when it comes to my customers. And I've had very rude customers, but remained friendly. I am most definitely not one of THOSE customers, so please don't treat me like one. All I ask for is a friendly greeting and common decency. Now speaking as an associate, I always say thank you after transactions and it's weird for customers to say, "You're welcome." Because sir or madam customer, you didn't do anything for me, so just thank me in return.
