So I just had my stage combat final and I took some video and a couple of pics, so I thought I’d share PRONTO!

I didn’t get to tape ALL of them, but I got a lof of em! YAY! I did not however, get our salute in the beginning which is really funny. My pal Lauren Kennedy taped it, and once she slaps it on youtube I’ll make sure you’re the FIRST to know!

So here’s Andrea Green and I…XENA AND GABRIELLE! It actually turned out pretty good!

Here’s some other clips from the class as well! Take a gander and get ready to have your side split!

AND our final salute out…after our final is over! This is the last time we’re using broad swords… No more Xena, no more Link from Zelda…or any other cool character with a sword….

Hey chillins,

What’s cookin? Well this week was quite the hill to get over…and why am I talking in past tense? This week is still here, kickin’ my beeeee-hind!! It’s just paper, research paper, project, research paper, test, extra credit due….one after another…LORDY! It’s all due on Monday….

So as you can see, it’s been sorta busy over here for many SUNY New Paltzians…everyone’s trying to get those last papers done before all those finals  sneak upon us! BAH!

But ya know what? A lot of joyous things have been occuring as well! A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, which is run by Miami Theatre players, is going on tomorrow and Sunday at 8pm in McKenna Theatre.  There is also I love you, You’re Perfect, Now Change, going on through various residence halls until Sunday at 8pm. Tomorrow (Fri) I have my stage combat final with my partner in crime, Andrea Green. We’re doing a skit as if we were Xena and Gabrielle…it should be interesting. We’ve been practicing with broad swords on Andrea’s front lawn while people walk by on the sidewalk. We have a good ole’ time laughing and making Xena warrior cries. Thank god shrubbery in the front of her house shields us from some of the spectators. :-p

I have the darker hair of the 2 of us, so I was chosen to be Xena. I hope to do her justice, since well, she’s pretty bad-ass! I tried doing that Lucy Lawless stare, but I just don’t have the eyes, or the bangs, or the hottness that comes along with Xena, Warrior Princess.
While coming across some research, I found the Xena warrior cry!!! Check it!

I hope to put a video up here of us. Again, remember, we are beginners learning the craft of stage combat, so cut us some slack if we aren’t picture perfect. AIIIIGHT?

OH OH and The Sexy Pitches all female a cappella group are having an invitational Benefit for New Paltz for Nicaragua. We’re having Vocal Synergy, an all girl group form Wagner and Male Call, an all guy group that just started up here in New Paltz!

Here’s all us Pitches, giving you a wave hello and hoping to see you Friday!! We’re in 115 College Hall (Nadia & Shepard Recital Hall) @ 7PM!

Also, later that night, Midnight Theatre is taking place in Parker Theatre! Relay for Life is this Saturday, which is always a grand event full of entertainment, good eatin’s and activities!! Also, Saturday I’m heading to Albany to visit my bro and see/hear/love his a cappella concert!

So lots and lots to do and see!! It’s kinda rough, because I know myself, and I want to be involved in everything and to support everything! However, it just ain’t possible, now is it? So pick and choose what you can do ladies and gents, while managing your time with those lovely papers! HA!

Therefore, I hope everyone hits the books, but at the same time, take a break from studying and have some fun! There’s loads to do this weekend, and the week coming up! I’ll try to keep you posted. I apologize for lacking in my postings lately. Normally I’m an animal about it. However, it’s just been a little crazy!

P.S. Congratulations for the NEW New Paltz Bloggers! There will be 6 next year, coming at ya with exciting events that New Paltz has to offer!

Alright gang, I must tooda-loo for now! I hope to keep ya updated with awesome pics, videos and stories! However, papers must be done first…alas.
