Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone has an awesome Halloween. Get lots of candy and be safe!

Holy crazy windy Batman!

I went to run some errands today. Bad decision. Before I went out, I had a feeling I should've stayed home. It was really really windy! And also really cold. I almost got blown away! It's such a pain in the ass when you're out doing stuff and the wind is in your face, forcing water from your eyes, messing up your hair. I hate it! Then trying to get into your car is a challenge. The door fuckin flies open and you don't want to hit the car next to you...ugh such a pain in the ass.

I hate Sarah Palin!

BFF

I got a new tat today! It's my best friend, Melissa, and I love it!

This makes me sad

Four Tops Singer Stubbs Dies At 72

17 October 2008 11:07 AM, PDT

Legendary Four Tops singer Levi Stubbs has died after a long illness, aged 72.

Stubbs, a cousin of R+B legend Jackie Wilson, died on Friday at his home in Detroit, Michigan. The exact cause of death had not been released as WENN went to press.

The star sang lead on some of the vocal group's most memorable hits, including Reach Out I'll Be There, I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch), Baby I Need Your Loving, and Standing in the Shadows of Love.

Born Levi Stubbles in Detroit in 1936, the singer formed a doo-wop quartet with his friends Abdul 'Duke' Fakir, Renaldo 'Obie' Benson and Lawrence Payton in 1954.

Initially going under the moniker Four Aims, the band changed its name to Four Tops in 1956 and gained a following as a club act. After signing to Motown Records in 1963, the group notched up a string of hits which have endured as classics for more than 40 years.

The group continued to tour, but Stubbs stepped down from his role in 2000 after he was diagnosed with cancer. He later suffered a stroke, and had been in poor health ever since.

He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Clineice, and their five children.

Here he is, as the voice of Audrey 2 from my fave movie Little Shop of Horrors.

Hmm...

I don't know how I feel about this yet. And my birthday sucked so don't ask.

Oscar-winning 'Once' to become Broadway musical

2:54 PM, October 16, 2008

"Once," the indie film underdog that waltzed away with an Oscar for best original song in 2007, will become a musical with sights set on Broadway.

Tony-winning producers John N. Hart Jr., Jeff Sine and Fred Zollo have acquired the live theater rights to the movie with the intention of bringing it to Broadway during the 2010-2011 season.

No word yet on the creative team for the theatrical adaptation of "Once," though producers are expected to announce that shortly.

Set in Dublin, "Once" tells the story of a street musician and a Czech immigrant who meet and begin writing songs with the hopes of landing a music contract. The movie won an Oscar for the song "Falling Slowly," which was written by the principal actors, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová.

Almost famous

If you didn't already know, I'm a huge fan of Kerry Butler. I have a portrait tattoo of her on my arm. When I met her, I showed it to her and she loved it! Well, about a week ago, a friend of mine was like "I think you're mentioned in 2007-2008 Playbill Yearbook, in the Xanadu section." So of course, I bought it and sure enough my Kerry Butler tat is mentioned =) If you want to buy the book, you can buy it here. I'm not telling you to buy it just because I'm mentioned. It really is a fantastic book. It features all of the Broadway shows that ran between June 2007 and May 2008. 2 days till my birthday! Woohoo!
