Experience Manifesto

They've announced the summer concert series here in Montclair at Brookdale Park, so if you're looking for something fun & cheap on a Friday night, this is it! We've gone to many of these concerts and we always have a great time. It's a picnic dinner, kids running around and good music under the stars. What more could you ask for? We'll certainly be at the July 2nd show and I'm really psyched to see Chuck Mangione as well. If you're in Essex County, NJ, you'll find a concert nearby. If you're going to go, let us know and we'll look for you there.

Just came across this game concept on youtube and thought that it was pretty cool. You actually do have to pay attention to the videos to score and move to the next level. It would certainly get me to watch more videos and it's the first program I've seen like this, I'm sure it won't be the last!

F*** My Life - FML : Your everyday life stories.

OK, this in my new obsession. It's sort of Twitter like for the bad things that happen to people every day. Little gems like:

• Today, I woke up at 5:30 AM to my boyfriend flipping on the lights and shouting "we have a problem!". Our chinchilla had gotten out of his maximum security cage & half of our apartment is now underwater because he decided the water line that leads to the fridge would make a tasty midnight snack.
• Today, I received my passport in the mail. They got my birthdate wrong. Then I picked up my birth certificate that I had sent in with the application. Turns out my parents have been celebrating my birthday on the wrong day for 16 years.
• Today, my girlfriend dumped me proclaiming she wanted someone more like her "Edward". I asked her who Edward was. She held up a copy her "Twilight" book. She was talking about a fictional vampire.
• Today, my boss fired me via text message. I don't have a text messaging plan. I paid $0.25 to get fired.
• Today, my mom walked in on me looking at a 1978 playboy. She asked if I found it in the basement. I said yes. Then I realized she was the centerfold.

I check it several times a day just to see what new gems have been posted and remind myself that people do really dumb things to themselves and other people!  Go check it out, you'll see!

Random Jack Bauer Fact: Top One Hundred Facts

Now that 24 is back on the air, I found this last from a few years back listing the top 100 facts about Jack Bauer. In no particular order, here are some of my favorites. Check out the whole list, it's a hoot! The one thing missing from the list, though, is anything about his great cell phone & service. I mean, seriously, this guy uses a phone for 24 ours straight and while buried underground, in a bomb shelter, next to a nuclear reactor, he can say to Chloe Quick, send me all of the schematics for California and he gets them in like 10 seconds. The next time he gets summoned to testify before Congress, it'll be to explain how he runs up such a high phone bill in just 24 hours.

If everyone on "24" followed Jack Bauer's instructions, it would be called "12".

Most people would need months to recover from 20 months of Chinese interrogation. Jack Bauer needs a shower, a shave and a change of clothes.

Once, someone tried to tell Jack Bauer a "knock knock" joke. Jack Bauer found out who was there, who they worked for, and where the goddamned bomb was.

Jack once shot himeself 10 times, just to prove 50 cent is a bitch. He proceeded to wrestle and aligator while talking to Chloe about schematics.

Came across this web site from a Twitter post (trying to remember who posted it!) and was excited to see the Egg make the list. It used to house the Empire State Youth Theatre Institute (now the NYS Theatre Institute), where I was an intern in 1980, I think. Yea, while the rest of my friends interned in cool places like London & Rome, I took an internship in Albany. But, at the time, it was one, if not the, hottest children's theater in the world and that's where my passion lied. And working for the theatre in Albany is what lead me to Disney, since I wanted to create a similar theatre there and almost did. Spent two years at WDW in Orlando doing the WDW Youth Theatre Club before getting hired by the Arts Council, which took my life in an interesting direction and helped me end up where I am today. I really had a great time working at the theatre, in addition to getting to do some cool shows. And it is a damn cool building!
