vicarzYou have no idea how pissed off I am to not have been recruited for the Alchemy ho-cube dancers. I'm so tearing you down eolh...that should be me on the cube! The really sad fact is I have heard of such things before. Buried in my sordid past was a girl that referred to herself as a "dancer" in a club. They got in free, and were scheduled to dance in the ho-cages above the dance floor in shifts. I shit you not. I guess the status of ho-cage-dancer and free entrant was all it took to inspire people to vaginize the crowd at random. I sure hope alchemy screens for appearance, but given the coordinator that doesn't seem likely.
I pulled a muscle in my neck last night in the gym - nothing serious, but I may need to chill for a bit. I'm also not sure if I'm getting sore throat from talking so much, sleeping with my mouth open, or if I'm fighting a cold. I feel great despite all that, and my mood is insanely high. I'm walking around smiling, even if I am likely to wind up in a jail, hospital, mental health facility, or morgue soon.
Party leader Frist embroiled in an ethics scandal, this one more clear than many others. He sold a ton of his family company's stock 2 weeks before releasing a profits warning. He says he sold it to avoid a conflict of interest, but he's been in office for how many years? What a lucky coincidence! I'm sure they'll just propose to change the rules again to fit this guy's crime. Ok, ok...it may not be a big deal - the plummet was only 15%, but the timing is hard to get away from. He could be a total moron, but 15% isn't really worth such a blatant easily tracked move. He could be stupid though, don't discount that possibility. Oh, but wait! The SEC is investigating because a whole bunch of the family business people sold stock in droves right before the announcement sent shares spiraling. You be the judge - because he'll never face one (See DeLay for reference).
Sordid details, minus the details.
An Australian study finds that a 96% of people reporting "Someone spiked my drink" are just drunk, or took drugs on purpose.

Don Adams...the poor guy. He was very nice, but lamented taking the role that only lasted 4 years and left him type-casted for life. He was gracious about it, milking it a little here and there and being openly grateful that it paid tons of $ over time. He grabbed the part the instant he heard Mel Brooks wrote the script.
Prez Bush asks people to conserve gas. Bush. In other news, heads explode from sheer irony. Wasn't it his group that prevented tougher mileage standards? Go-go gadget SUV?

Date: 2005-09-27 12:45 pm (UTC)I recommend doing a feedster.com search for the key terms alchemy, dance, and team. You'll pull up a few LJ posts, the gist of which is that apparently this is actually happening, they've been practicing for roughly a month, and they plan on "performing" at the Alchemy Hallowe'en thing.
I'm just completely stunned by this "dance team" revelation. It has so much train wreck potential. It's on a par with Al Gore announcing that he's giving it all up to become a male stripper.
I'm actually considering skipping the Alchemy thing this year. If these kids will only be "performing" for five minutes or so, than I can just duck into the other room and ignore it. But if this is going to be a huge 45 minute scene-climbing extravaganza, then I have better places to spend my Hallowe'en.
I tend to hate dance team performances at clubs anyway, even when they're talented -- I'd simply rather dance myself than stand still and watch others. But this is such a farce -- my skin crawls just thinking about it.
