He has a new movie that should be out soon in the US called Rudo y Cursi and apparently he sings this cover song. I just saw the video right now on Mun2 and it makes me really sad that we don't get that channel in Denton. Oh Gael <3 and yes he's singing XD

The Birthday - Alicia |
] |
So as most of you know I like to do that thing where I get REALLY into something and just obsess about it for a while - right now it's kinda rock n roll/blues/rockabilly thing. Thankfully I have Dee around because we've realized that we're sorta music soul mates and we both like to get really into shit so we at least have each other to talk to about all this and i don't have to bother all of you with it, but too bad that's what I'm doing now.
There was a band that Dee told me about around 2 years ago (maybe more...not sure) but I think last year is when I got super into them, and that band is Thee Michelle Gun Elephant. Well they broke up and that kinda sucked because they were fucking amazing, they even had some releases here in the US. Well, Dee did her research and found out that he had formed a side project which then became his 2nd band Rosso with the bassist from Blankey Jet City which is now disbanded BUT he is currently fronting another band with the same bassist and i think the 2n guitarist they added in Rosso AND the drummer from Thee Michelle Gun Elephant.
Anyway, so for the past week or so I've just been listening to The Birthday, TMGE, and alittle Rosso (their shit is hard to find, but luckily I've got their first album coming in the mail :D I can't afford to eat now, but dammit I'm gonna be rocking out). Dee and I have pretty much assumed that Chiba Yusuke was just born fucking cool. After listening to hours of his music and watching anything that is Chiba Yusuke related, I have fallen inlove with him - his voice is just so raw and powerful and an absolute cream dream. I IDOLIZE this man, he does nothing wrong. He's so dedicated to his craft, he loves him family, he has a fucking lighter with fur on it (it sounds lame, but trust me in the interview i read it sounded really damn cool). He also doesn't know how to suck, every song that he sings and writes is pure gold.
I really believe Japan is saving rock n roll, and Chiba Yusuke is leading the way.
涙がこぼれそう - The Birthday
Imagine listening to this on your mp3 player while walking, there is no way you don't feel cool listening to this.
and for good measure have a little Rosso in your life:
and some live TMGE:
that's all, now I guess I'll go back to playing some baroque music :/
~Rita Pita~
p.s. good luck finding shit on THE BIRTHDAY. If you really want some stuff I can upload it, but try searching for them without getting happy birthday or the birthday massacre OR the birthday party. ROSSO is even harder. TMGE not so much though - they are icons after all.

I desperately need money. Luckily i have a few bucks coming in from some commission crochet stuff i said I'd do for some people, but not enough for rent. I really need to reschedule my plasma appointment, too. I refuse to borrow money from my family for the May rent. I'm going to ask my friend is that 1 position at the research center is still open, it means I won't be going home for the summer, but i need money and 30 hours a week for $7.50 really isn't too bad.
on a side note, all I've been wanting to listen to is Rock 'n Roll and Gangsta Rap...hmmm
I should probably be productive today, it's so gloomy though and all i want to do is sleep my sore throat/cough/cold away :/

Spring break was pretty fucking great. I won't get into every detail now because I actually have some crap to do before tomorrow. I'll also wait for some pictures to post up so you know you guys don't get bored with all my stories. Pretty much -
-Peelander-Z was great. We saw them 9 times and we've got 2 more this week. It's really funny to see all the crowds they play to, it will range from like super anime nerds to like hardcore metal heads, and they always win the crowd over. I also realized I miss Blue, a lot :(
-P-ELVIS...OMG How i lust after this man, lol. He's too cool for words.
-SPARTA MOTHERFUCKIN' LOCALS, they were amazing, we got to talk to them when they were walking down the street and were really surprised we knew who they were. We also ran into them at a mexican resturant. Abe (The singer) also gave me the setlist :D! I wonder what it was like for them to go from selling out arenas in Japan like Akasaka Blitz to playing in some backyard next to a pet goat for like 15 people....
-I ate a lot of mexican food from the beginning of spring break to now, it's so good to have real mexican food that I don't have to cook myself.
More details later, but now i have to practice my ass off.

Oh yeah, so my sociology class is pretty interesting and we were randomly talking about people who are inlove in inanimate objects. I believe it's called Objectophelia. A girl in my class told us to look up "I married the Eiffel Tower" which I talked to Van about and she found the full thing and not just a weird creepy clip. Now you get the creepy clip and more!
Watch Married To The Eiffel Tower [Part 1] | View More Free Videos Online at Veoh.com
Like Van said in her entry, you want to laugh and possibly make fun, but you really can't. I mean, that's just cruel. Really you just feel kinda bad for these people, but they seem...kinda happy. You even get a little sad for them when they say they can never truly be alone with their lovers, it's so strange but fascinating and sad all at the same time. If you have a spare 30 minutes totally watch it!
That's all.

 accomplished |

I spent all Friday and Saturday running errands and cleaning up the apt. I'm pretty proud of all the crap I accomplished, especially the fact that the apt. looks pretty good! Not that it looked terrible before, but I'm such a slob sometimes that I'm surprised my past and present roommates haven't been like "wtf Rita, clean your shit up". I figured since Vanessa was gone for the weekend it would be a good time to do all these little things that needed to be done, because then I could do them on my own time and not disturb anyone (I have strange weekend hours...).
Things Accomplished:
-Finished and sent off swap package(this involved a trip to hobby lobby and kroger's)
-Took out the recycling/trash
-Washed my car
-Returned/checked out crap from the library
-Filled out FAFSA
-Cleaned room
*picked up clothes off the floor
*fixed up all my papers/notebooks/old school work
-Laundry
-Cleaned living room
*picked up all the crap off the floor
*clean up my "yarn area" (i totally untangled all my yarn and threw away a bunch of scrap stuff, it looks pretty good now, and I've also discovered I need another basket for my yarn...)
-put our shelf back together and put all the stuff back on it (our shelf recently fell apart, so I bought some gorilla glue to put it back together, that shit is THE BEST)
-Cleaned the kitchen
*washed the dishes, put some away
*cleaned up the table
-Cleaned the bathroom
*toilet, sink, shower, cleaned up the drawers and swept
-sewed some squares together for Dee's blanket which is my least favorite part of making blankets because it kills my back :/
And today I just picked up Vanessa from the airport! I still need to Vacuum, change my sheets, and practice because I'm tired of sucking at the instrument I'm supposed to be proficient in, and possibly reorganize some of my old papers into my "filing crate". I'm about 2-3 years behind on that, lol. All and All i feel EXTREMELY accomplished, so accomplished I had to do an LJ entry about it. It's time for nap, I think i deserve it, lol.

Ikkicon was interesting. I hadn't been to a con in a long time, let alone go and buy a badge for one, lol, but it was pretty worth it.
We left Thursday night hoping to buy a badge, but we wanted to avoid traffic and because we left so late we missed it, so we just got there and hung out and slept. We woke up early on Friday and got some food and rode the bus to the con. I never realized how dead cons are on Friday mornings, we were SO fucking bored. We finally saw Peelander-z in the afternoon and said hi. We got lunch, FINALLY got into the shitty dealer's room, and hung out with the Peelanders after they set up their booth. We helped to take care of it and sold some merch for them.
So, we pretty much missed the Peelanders, A LOT. It's been almost a year since we've seen them. It's pretty funny how much Green still loves Dee. He kept asking her if she still had boyfriend XD, and I found out we have something in common - NODAME CANTABILE! He recognized my piano bag and he's apparently seen/read everything like me, except he's seen it finished, lol. The concert that night was really great, he's a good drummer (and his english is getting much better) and a good addition to the group. I'm still sad that blue isn't there, and i still miss him, but I'm glad he's the one who's replaced him. At the end of the show they gave us each a signed sign from the show, I got S.T.E.A.K./MEDIUM RARE! <3 and the Octopus Project were special guests at the concert and played their instruments at the end, so that was fun.
Saturday was busy as hell. It was pretty much Tommy day for me. There was a frickin' boyscout parade downtown so they blocked off a bunch of streets, so I was late to the hotel getting ready. Dee and Andrew helped me get dressed and escorted me down stairs. Dee sadly was feeling really bad this weekend, but the Peelanders were nice enough to take care of her and let her take a nap in their room, lol.
Before that Dee was walking around with me as I tried to find people to take pictures with and find out where the autograph signings were and I was convinced to walk into the Power Ranger's Q&A late. I really didn't want to because I knew I'd get random attention, but after a minute or so of convincing I waked in. Everyone just kinda stopped what they were doing and applauded me and yelled my name, it was a little embarrassing and hilarious. I didn't even look at JDF's face because I didn't want to see his reaction just incase it was a weird face like this O_o. We left before a crowd happened and I got inline. People were funny
After much waiting, tons of confusion, and freaking out because they were charging $10 per item autographed and i left my money in my pants upstairs in a friends room ;__;. That's when i found out Dee was sick and sleeping upstairs and Andrew was working solo at the peelander table. Luckily P-Red ran into me and was the nicest fucking person ever and lent me money and told me to pay him back whenever. I paid him back as soon as I changed, though, but still SUPER SWEET. How many bands do you guys know that would do that? exactly. anyway so I finally got to the booth and it was just AMAZING seeing him, I tried so hard not to fangirl. He immediately told me that we needed to take a picture which made me SUPER happy because they said they weren't letting people take pictures with him. He also told me that my boobs were in his face *oh if i had a dollar for every person who immediately touched my cone boobs as soon as they saw them...* So we took the picture then he signed my staff and asked my name did that whole "It's Rita...really? haha that's funny". He signed my staff AND he gave me a signed glossy (which was $20 dollars, but I got it for free <3). It was SO great, I could barley pose after I met him because i couldn't stop smiling and make an angry face, lol.
I posed with Jesse and Matt and FINALLY got out of my costume (my neck and head were hurting so bad) and just hung out with Peelander-z the rest of the time. Went to their Q&A and "autograph signing" aka sit back down at the booth and hang out. and that was pretty much the end. I hung out with Crystal, Cindi, and Daniel and we went to eat and Kerby Lane. Good times were had, I ran into nice people, and avoided any sorta drama. Overall a pretty good weekend, except being hungry A LOT. I'm already looking forward to SXSW and telling EVERYONE EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY that I met Tommy. I should just put that picture of us on a shirt or something.
ok this is WAY too long, good job for making it through. if i find pictures I'll post later.

I'm leaving to Ikkicon today sometime after Dee gets out of class. Peelander-Z is playing 2 shows, doing a q&a and autograph session. We're of course attending all of this, well i dunno about autograph session, but we may keep them company if they want, but also JASON DAVID FRANK IS GOING TO BE THERE. YES...TOMMY OLIVER FROM POWER RANGERS.
Yeah, I know i'm a geek, sue me. I'm busting out Rita Repulsa for this con (I haven't worn her in like 2 years, let alone con to a con in 2 years) mostly because Jesse *zord guy* and Matt *the really good ranger cosplayer* are going too so we're doing a group photo op thing and I really want to take a picture with JDF as Rita...and as regular me Rita, too. If I can achieve both I will be a very happy girl. Inner elementary school Rita is like jumping up and down right now.
Anyway yeah, if anyone in Austin is going to be around and possibly want to do like lunch (or dinner tonight/saturday night!) give me a call. I'd rather go eat somewhere that's not at the hotel or around the con if possible, and I promise I wont go eat in costume, lol.

Or maybe Vanessa does that says "I survived the drive down to the valley with Rita". YUP, That's right, I drove down to the valley for thanksgiving. Vanessa came with me to make sure I didn't end up in Laredo...or I dunno some other state. The ride down wasn't too bad, we stopped in S.A. and her mom gave me some pies <3!
I didn't really get to see anyone when I got home. I got Moonbeans with Vanessa and dropped her off at her aunt's place. I got home and crashed out, I didn't even go to my sister's like I was supposed to. That was pretty much my whole vacation - me sleeping really early. So my apologies to all my friends back home :( I know most of you know about all the family stuff that's been going on with my grandmother and my mom and I just really need to be present for my family, especially my mom. So please just be patient with me. I also wasn't ignoring late night phone calls, I was just so dead asleep i didn't hear my phone ring.
My sister and I saw role models on the thanksgiving. It was hilarious, I loved it, especially the ending. KISS rules...that is all.
My grandpa's b-day was also at the beginning of the month - he turned 96! He says he'll be here for at least 4 years, which i really hope for. My grandpa is great, and we're already semi-planning the big party, which is probably bad. I just hope when he does go, it's peacefully and not like my grandmothers. It really just hurts too much.
Anyway, on the way back up with Vanessa the morning started off well, until i got a speeding ticket before Pleasanton :/. I'm hoping to do defensive driving online and get my ticket dismissed. Anyone ever do that online before? do you have a suggested place? or any advice or something?
Other than that, the ride up was pretty smooth and Nessa and I were able to avoid traffic bad traffic by going around it and through Hillsboro on the way up. All and all the trip was good and the vacation was relaxing. Now I have a million things to do this week for school. 2-3 extra credit papers, 4 proficiencies, 1 huge project, 1 make up project, jury run through, actual Jury, and classes! ugh I can't wait till this week is over and done with, now it's sleep time!

OK, so I haven't been keeping up with the show at ALL. Is this season worth me attempting to catch up? I know I can probably do it within a week (the last episode I saw was the first one of this season), but if it's not worth my time then meh.
Also, for those of you who will be in the Denton area this weekend, we're having our 2nd annual apartment Thanksgiving! It's potluck so pretty much bring a dish and you're good. Let me know if you're interested in coming. Last year we stuffed our faces, watched TV, and played games. I'm gonna say a bottle of booze counts as a dish, but you know...it's whatever
I don't have nearly enough to do for the rest of the semester that I thought I did (I made a list in anthropology), that's good! That also means I need to get my ass on starting to do stuff so I don't have a million things to do the day before everything is due. Though instead of starting all that stuff I got a few new icons instead, the other ones were getting old.
I still have a million things to crochet. I'd rather do that than school at this moment. That and watch Law and Order:SVU. and I'm practically counting down the days until I get to go home. I've been feeling really nostalgic lately, maybe it's all the rock and roll and soul music I've been listening to. Otis Redding almost made me cry the other day...

There is only like one job on campus that goes with work study that works well with my schedule and I want to get this in ASAP. Hopefully I get hired since they need someone "ASAP".

 better |
] |
First off, I'm feeling much better so thanks all for your support, I'm still not completely over it, but I'm getting ther and feeling a lot better.
So Vanessa and I decided we needed a table. Since we're poor we decided to check Craig's List. Usually we just see stuff that may be in the price range but not really worth the drive over (like in Plano or something), but we were lucky to find someone selling a table and 4 chairs for $75 AND they were in Denton. NOW we can have apt. thanksgiving here at this place since we've got a buttload of room and chairs and a table! We were almost about to just get an extra coffee table and just eat at it...but we like chairs.
I got to talk to my friend Jeremy yesterday on the phone, it was so great to hear his voice, I really miss him. He keeps tempting me to visit him in Japan but I'm pretty sure that's NEVER going to happen. I can't even afford to go to India this winter break :/ I can barley afford the rent! I dunno how I'm gonna do it in December...plasma sales anyone? I guess i need to start crocheting more things to sell instead of just gifts for people, lol. Right now I am currently making...
1)a pig/me in pig form for my sister
2)an afghan for Dee as an uber belated present.
3)a commissioned giraffe that I'm about to start over because i really don't like the yarn i got...
4)a random gift for a swap I'm doing.
5)crocheted skulls for our balcony
and things I've finally finished:
1)Daniel's fishboy (kinda)
2)a hat for Dee that I'm pretty proud of
things that still need to get finished:
1)cupcake pincushion for crystal
2)Jeremy's hat, scarf, and glove set
3)Vanessa's tissue holder
I wish i could just crochet, but i have a lot of crap to do for school. I still need to pass off some proficiencies (trumpet, trombone, tuba/euphonium, percussion, french horn, bassoon, clarinet and transposition) and 2 projects due thursday which i course haven't started (well one of them requires me to be on campus, the other is an article review and I did find two interesting ones online yesterday).
Halloween is in 2 weeks! Everyone list your plans/costumes! I'm doing a Dia de los Muertos style costume, it's gonnna look fantastic. AND we're going to decorate our balcony for an apartment contest tomorrow which will also be a Dia de los Muertos themed. I hope we win and I hope they don't confuse it for Cinco de Mayo or something. Anyway, I guess I should get started on a paper or something.

me...as Dr.Rita? or really I guess Dr.Alfaro, but I like Dr.Rita better, lol. I went in to talk to Dr.Friedson on Thursday and he was pretty encouraging. He said the emphasis I wanted to do (latin american, or just Mexican music) was something that really needed more research. He said that we have a good program here for grad studies (the programs here are on Indian and African music) and that he could get me well on my way to get my Ph.D. He said if I wanted to teach this I would pretty much need to get my Ph.D....I didn't think about going that far but...why not? If I really did want to teach this at a college level that's what I would need to do, but at the same time I was having a good time teaching those junior high kids and I feel like I'd slightly be giving up on something, that's not to say I couldn't work and do school at the same time it's just a lot to think about.
If i do stay here for grad school that means that I would be living in Denton for another 2 years, not so bad. I'd need to find another roommate or live on my own. I dunno what I would do about financial aid, scholarships, or loans. I guess I'd need to look into how that works but i do know for sure that I will student teach for a semester and I will be a certified teacher. It's after that that I don't know about. It's a lot to think about...still.
In other news, I had been looking for a sugar skull crochet pattern for a couple of months now. I could of sworn I found one, but could never find it again. Then I found this:
I'd love to make these for Halloween and string them on lights and put them up on our balcony. Our apt. is having a contest where you decorate your door and balcony and you get $100 off the next month's rent. I'm also thinking about stitching in really pretty colors and giving it a more Dia de Los Muertos theme. Making them look more like sugar skulls. I'm also considering selling them, but I'd need to get on that. Anyone want one? I'd sell them really cheap (probably 5-7, i dunno).
I have other things to make...I've got another hat I'm doing, I still need to finish Jeremy's hat and gloves but I don't even have his address in Japan and that boy is so hard to get a hold of so until I get an address I'm putting it on hold. I also still need to make that purse for Angelyn (don't think I forgot!). I'm also thinking about doing this exchange amigurumi exchange thing on the ravelry forum, but I'm not sure yet.
On another note, I'm super excited about Halloween. We still don't have ANY plans. I don't know anyone having a party this year yet. I know I've suggested Haunted House in Dallas/Ft.Worth, but I dunno if anyone is really up for that. I just know that I'm gonna be walking around the area on Halloween with my costume, I just gotta figure out how I want to do my face paint. BTW I'm doing a sorta Dia de los Muertos type of costume.

School is going alright. I still love my World Music class and my Music Ed. class is going well. I have a lot to do for that class so I need to remember to stay on top of things. I'm trying to practice my fingerings for a test we have on Thursday, but man it's making my head spin. I even skipped bassoon because that shit is just weird >_<.
I still haven't gotten my money yet, I'm gonna go talk to them again on Monday, probably before band or after my lesson. I sent out scholarship stuff. I still need to finish my resume and start applying for jobs. I don't think my resume is very good, and I'm not even sure what to put really.
I'm thinking about joining some on-campus organizations. I've been wanting to do NTSME (north texas student music educators) for a while, or maybe even do key club here. We'll see, first NTSME thing is on Wed. I've got a crochet/knitting thing on Monday that I'm looking forward to.
CONCERTS. I swore I wouldn't go to as many as I did last semester (that was probably my downfall). MUCC is having a "tour" - so far it's only L.A. and N.Y. Here is hoping they add on more shows since their set at Taste of Chaos was SO short and SO good that they need their own thing. Dir en grey is coming back, I'm not the biggest Deg fan(i've tried, lord knows i have), but Toshiya is so adorable and going through some of their photo albums makes me want to go even more. UGH why couldn't i be born rich? I am looking forward to Bakubeni at the end of September and Electric 6 in October (i think...). Let's see what else happens.
alright back to studying, i swore I'd try to get as much done today as possible. Though I didn't practice my flute and my first lesson is on Monday so Jen is probably gonna be upset.

I saw they had some pretty cheap baskets, so i got a big one for under 10 dollars. I thought it would be a bit too big but i was ok with that.
My yarn is almost overflowing! SO, if anyone on here would like some type of crocheted commissioned thing, i'm totally open for business. Sarah, I'm already gonna start working on your hat so it will be done by the time we get some cold weather around here.
I also found my chococat stationary while i was cleaning my room. It was stashed away in the bento box Daniel gave me. I also found good use for the bento box, it's become my crochet box full of random little extra things i need for making stuff, it's perfect - thanks Daniel ^^
that's about it, I'm on campus mooching off the internet. The financial aid office finished filling out my scholarship paper so i can send it off soon. I I may or may not have to audition for an ensemble. no biggie if i have to but i'd prefer not to. I signed up anyway even though i wont know for sure until the 18th or 19th weither i have to. hopefully auditions wont be until next week for flutes.

Well, I'm back in Denton. moving sucks - a lot. I hate it, but we're finally all done. I still have a couple of things in my car, but nothing major. I fixed up the kitchen today and put all that stuff away and put stuff away in the linen closet and all the cleaning supplies in the hall closet.
The drive up was ok, i actually slept through San Antonio and Austin because i didn't get any sleep, but the rest of the drive was pretty easy, hopefully when i go home for winter i can do it.
My room is about the same size at city park, we have a good size bathroom except it seems a little low. We don't have cable outlets, fans, or lights in our rooms, and the kitchen looks totally old school, but it's still really spacious and cute. We still don't have cable or internet, i'll probably call tomorrow. We also don't have a table to eat at or a couch, lol. I can barely walk into my room because of all my shit in bags and boxes. I'll probably put more stuff away tomorrow after i go to campus in the morning and talk to financial aid about my scholarship stuff and attempting to register for Fisher's class again. I need a code but I'm thinking i just need my advising code.
Cleaning the old apartment was interesting, my parents helped me out. I scrubed the oven the next day...OYE that was hard work. all my nail polish chipped off :(. Van graduated yesterday! That was exciting, but sad because she's gone now, and you know she's been my roommate since the beginning.
ANYWAY - I'm alittle lonely, luckily Cindi invited me over to mooch off her internet and watch some TV. If anyone in Denton would like to hang out and go to naranja or art six or something give me a jingle.
