Don't be such a Holy Cow.

I'm drowning myself in all things PR, Marketing and Photoshop related. It seems that an interview for being a simple seasonal employee turned into becoming the lead of Marketing team for a local Austin bookstore. :)

No complaints here - it finally gives me incentive to buckle down and grasp my head around the role of social marketing and at the same time give me a deadline to quickly learn the Photoshop skills my little heart has been yearning for. I'm just one of those people who cannot seem to be truly productive unless I'm under pressure to perform....or in a really, really good mood that I just feel compelled to make something of the day (kind of like that feeling I get when I clean the house...? Yeah, yeah - don't judge me.). So... woo! to that, and yay for me.

Wish me luck.

In Music, Music, Music! News, I am currently obsessed with Madonna - I'm sure as a result of the recent all-Madonna themed episode of Glee - andddd I also have the new Rufus Wainwright album of constant rotation.

I've also been studying all the music videos that I used to know the complete dance to. It's funny how easily some things just come back to you.
This means only one thing - that I'm finally ready to get back to my dancing roots and take some classes again. It's been waaaaay too long and this dry spell from performing has gone on way longer than it ever should have. Shame on me. Tsk, tsk. But I shall fix that soon.

I'm thinking Lindy Hop - ever since I saw this video a while back, I told myself that one day, I'd learn how to be as good as these people:


Ah! Doesn't it look like so much fun? It's a long clip, but I swear it will make you want to get up and dance after you watch it.

I'm also considering a dip back into Hip-Hop (my dearest, regrettably forgotten, old friend). The only thing that concerns me is that the instructor will usually use music that is currently popular to choreograph a routine to...and a lot of music (at least pop radio music nowadays) just doesn't do it for me anymore. But we shall see.

Anyways, that's all for now - I just needed a breather from all this research.

Lots of love and other fine stuff,
Jen

He must kill puppies.

Well, it's been a good week and half or so since my last bloggage occurred and oh boy! do I have some great news to tell you.

I have T-minus so many days until my work (aka Gold Class Cinemas) is up and open to the awaiting public. Just imagine an upscale, much more pricey Drafthouse with a bunch of hot guys on staff and you pretty much understand the place I work at.

BUT I'm even more so excited because I just got my uniform today.
It's black, the sleeves only go a little more than halfway on my forearm and it buttons up all the way to my neck.
So...I pretty much look like a ninja in flats.


Yeah, I can take your order.

Also, I have some wonderful news on these lovely little projects I got going on...
#1 - Music Plate!
The set is my room. The room is my set.
It's a puppet show.
I make puppets.
You should watch it.

#2 Trivia: Who Wants a Dollar?
First gig at Shangri-la on Monday! Be there...or I'll kill you.
I'll be the person stalking you with my lovely cam-mer-rah. Say hi...if you can find me.

#3 Photography!
This isn't really a project, but I've cracked down on learning a complicated little ditty of a program called Photoshop & I think I'm going to do a series pretty soon - I'm just trying to finalize the concept I'm going for. I find capturing moments and images to be my love - so I must pursue it. Watch me as I go. *squee*

...And that's about it, folks. If you have any comments or questions, don't hesitate to say something. But now to close this post of the day, here's a video.
This one feeds my addiction to a certain TeeVee show. You see, Glee season just started up again - so my Gleekiness is comin' out and all my love for that wonderful little Chris Colfer...and that good-looking Jonathan Groff (!!!) who is scheduled for 8 of the next 9 episodes! He's gorgeous and was in Spring Awakening with Miss Lea Michele.
I'm in love.

Anyways, here's Jimmy Fallon doing what I consider to be one of the funniest skits since he started Late Night based on the on-goings of Glee. Good job, Jimmy - you're improving. I clap for thee.

I present to you, 6-Bee.

Happy, Happy Eeeeeeaster.

Guess it's that time of year again where occasionally a family gathers to eat a big meal, find out if that one cousin is still in jail or not...and hey! take pictures that will mark that terrible fashion sense you have now so one day you and your kids can talk about your unfortunate reasoning for wearing those skinny jeans, a ponytail with a low-cut V neck shirt and somehow think that it made you even more attractive to the opposite sex. I'm talking to guys of course.

Although this can apply to all holidays, today was the one day where we included all the previous incidents mentioned except this time, we add-in to the mix one joyous bunny who leaves us behind colorful Easter eggs and some lovely semi-broken eggs emptied of all their yolky insides and then filled again with numerous amounts of confetti and glitter that we break on each others' heads.

So, what I'm trying to say is...Happy Easter, folks.

I've also decided with everything that's been consuming my life, I need to do something to unwind or get away. A mini-vacation since I don't think that I can really afford to go anywhere too elaborate.

I think I've narrowed it down to three options.
Here's where I wanna go. What I wanna do.

1) Corpus Christi
The beach! Who doesn't love sand between their toes? Salty air that stings the nostrils and burns the eyes?

2) Portland
A place I've always dreamed of going. Mainly because two of my favorite artists at a certain point in my life are from here. Plus, there was a phase when I wanted to transfer here for a Photography degree.

3)Camping
Could be fun. Depending on weather. How many people go. Who's preparing food. Where the bears are.

4.) A road-trip with no pre-determined destination.
Now THIS is my ideal journey, but the money it'd cost for gas I don't thinks me have.
Le sigh.

I'll keep you updated.

In the meantime, enjoy one of my favorite parts from Spaced.
Only because I need to redeem myself after watching that stupid it's-so-bad-no-one-would-pick-it-up Pilot for the FAILED U.S. remake of my beloved show.

It's Mike!!! And he's doin' his dance in what is my *favorite* Spaced episode...
Gots to loves that song remix. :)
