I woke up sick this morning. I slept almost right until 7:20. I considered breakfast but I was too sick to eat anything; I didn’t even have a coffee. Morning was killer doing vocals because I could barely sing. The second half of the morning was devoted to making fun of my poor dance skills (although its probably just me being ill and having no breakfast or coffee). Over lunch we decided on a hosting service for our www.casta07.com website. All afternoon we were slotted to do more dancing and blocking. Fortunately I was pulled from the group to start rehearsing for the on stage backup mic group. I figure this is what I’ll be doing for quite a few numbers in the show. Between that and the two Irish fiddle pieces I’m doing, I figure I’ll get to excuse myself from some of the more hard core dance numbers. Its all Good™. The other Bass in the mic group section is Bjorne who I was told doesn’t look like a very energetic singer compared next to me. The second half of the afternoon we spent working with the writers and choreographers of two of the show pieces “Stomp” and “Power With”. It was awesome. I’ll admit I did learn some pretty cool rhythmic dance moves from them. Today we’re staying late on campus to watch the movie “an inconvenient truth”. Its open to all students here so the theatre is packed.

In lieu of Global warming, Louigi from Venezuela decided to wear some more temperature appropriate clothing.

I also for got to mention that yesterday was the first time I had ever tried Wrigglies "Orbit" gum; made in Canada, sold only abroad as well as my first Cheeze-its. It was all good.



The movie "The Inconvenient Truth" was about global warming and was done by Al Gore. It was quite well done. I, however having done a fair amount of research on the topic still learned a fair bit. I would recommend this film as well as the movie "The day after Tomorrow".

Another interesting site that we touched on was http://www.earthday.net/footprint/index.asp
where you can calculate your ecological footprint and see how many earths it would require (resource wise) if everyone lived with the same standard of living as you.



Another site that I think is really eye opening is http://www.miniature-earth.com/. In its video it brings the world down to 100 people and shows you the breakdown of wealth among other things. Its defiantly worth checking out. In fact if you only click on one blog link from my entire blogs its this one. Watch it. (hint hint teachers; show it to your classes its less that 5 minutes)

Also one correction to make; here is the correct URL of the food bank agency that I worked with yesterday. http://www.foodbankrockies.org/

I can't believe we have to perform the show in less than a week; Its going to be intense. I can't wait to get on the road!

Oh!, for those interested; here is the data that Google analytics spits back to me about who is reading my blog; You can't even see Newfoundland for the dots anymore!



Its all Good™
