Frustration and Glee

Two opposite ends of the spectrum: frustration and glee. Frustration because I'm so tired of dead ends in the job search. Glee because it come on tonight and it's the Britney Spears episode. Can we say amazing?

Almost a MONTH ago, I had a great interview for an unpaid internship in the Fort downtown. Sounded too good to be true! Well except the unpaid part. I was told I'd hear from the guy I'd actually be working with the next week so we could Skype interview (the guy I interviewed with was shocked to find out I drove through a tropical storm for an interview... My resume says TYLER on it, does it not?). Well a week went by and I finally heard from the guy I interviewed with, they'd been super busy and he'd pass my info along ASAP. Well, it's been almost three weeks since that and nothing. I've given up on it and talked myself out of it. As great as it would be to move back to the Fort, my initial goal, it's unpaid and I REALLY want a pet. Pets are expensive in the beginning, as is where I'd very much like to live. I've e-mailed a few places since then and still heard ZIP back from any of them. Is a courtesy e-mail too much to ask at this point? Even if it's a "We got your resume. Thanks, but no thanks." type thing, it'd be great to have it pop up in my e-mail. Depressing, but nice to know they go it.



On the positive side: Glee! Tonight! Britney/Brittany promises to be absolutely amazing. I just downloaded all the songs for tonight's episode - a FIRST in my love affair with Glee.



Also, please remember to send positive energy/prayers/whatever to the University of Texas at Austin after this morning's events.

Pony Down

In honor of tonight's TCU game at SMU...



They passed these shirts out 2 years ago for the big Iron Skillet game, but I could NOT find one for myself. I was so upset. However, there' this fabulous graphic floating around in cyberspace and I'm thrilled to display it today.

If you're not in the metroplex, specifically driving around Dallas in the greater SMU area, you haven't seen the "Beat TCU," "TCU Sucks," or "Fill the Ford" sign around (nor the plane carrying one of said banners behind it). I wonder how much they've spent on all of that, not to mention the t-shirts they've supposedly handed out to students all week. I propose the boys at TCU try to beat the ponies by that much.

SYTYCD Tour 2010

In 48 hours I will more than likely be getting ready to head out the doors of Nokia (now Verizon, but I refuse to call it that) Theater in Grand Prairie to line up and meet my favorite dancers from season 7, the touring all stars, and season 6's winner. In honor of going to see my third SYTYCD tour, I'm going to pick a few of my favorite dances from this season (and one from last) that I hope are on tour. Also, sorry in advance for the ones people recorded from their TVs - they suck but it was the only way I could embed them on here.

Russell and Kathryn Hip Hop (Season 6)


Billy and All-Star Ade Contemporary


Robert and All-Star Allison Contemporary


Lauren and Kent Contemporary


Ashley and All-Star Dom Hip Hop


Top 11 and All-Stars Jazz


Yay! I'm glad this is on tour!
Robert and All-Star Courtney Jazz


If you're new to my blog or don't pay attention to my obsessions, I'm in love with the show So You Think You Can Dance on Fox. This summer was the 7th season (6th summer season, they experimented with a fall season last year). I got turned on to SYTYCD because I knew a girl in the top 20 in 2007. I've known several people to try out since and currently one of my steps-sister's best friends is considering trying out for season 8 and if she makes it to Vegas the family has already said we're going, haha.

Total Frat Move

I love when I know a TFM is from TCU. This one is TOO perfect for words. LOVE it.

I go to a private school whose football team is ranked number 4 in the nation. Not only can you not afford to go here, but we beat you at everything too. TFM

Bear Hunt

This is just TOO perfect for words. Especially today, the day TCU shuts up Baylor's trash-talking. Kick off is at 3:30 on Versus for those of us not in the Fort today. My mom bought the next level up on our satellite to get the channel (for a whole $10 more than she was already paying).


We're going on a bear hunt!
We're gonna catch a big one!
I'm not afraid!
Are you?
Not me!

Here comes the gate
Now we're on a bear hunt
We're gonna catch a big one
I'm not afraid
Are you?
Not me!
We're coming to a tall mountain
It sure is high
It sure is wide
Let's climb up it
Well, there's nothing over there
Nothing over there
Nothing back there
Hey! Wait! I think I see something
Quick! Everybody run down!

We're going on a bear hunt!
We're gonna catch a big one!
I'm not afraid!
Are you?
Not me!


This song is a kids song with echos(that I deleted), but how perfect would it be if Andy and GPat led the singing of this before running out of the tunnel today? Oh my gosh, I think I'd pay money. Go frogs!

Ch-ch-ch-changes

I'm fickle and I'm tired of the old look, so I'm introducing a new look! I'm a little bit in love with this, although it makes me feel really young, but I think it fits the "Welcome to GrownUpLand" theme in an ironic way. Let me know what you think, readers. I know you're out there.

I also made the title part of a collage! I've been trying to figure out how people have been doing this. I had no idea there was an option for it on the design part of blogger, so I made a collage at picnik and loaded it that way! I feel so resourceful! I deserve a pat on the back.

DAY THIRTY!!!

It's over, thank God!

Day 30 - A photo of myself and 3 good things that have happened in the past 30 days.

You don't get the photo, sorry. It's almost midnight, I've had a bad day, and I look like crap. Deal with it.
3 good things?
1. I've had two job interviews.
2. I get 15 free downloads every quarter from Napster thanks to my mom's Best Buy Reward Zone points - yay new music!
3. TCU has won their first two games!

TH END, finally!!!
