Ok ok, I knew I had a topic I wanted to talk about and it escaped me til now....theater etiquette!
Now granted I know that that many people aren't really gonna read this so it's really a subtle "rant" on how people annoy me in the theater.
Movie theaters....I don't give a crap. even I have no manners there (ok well I do...but I don't care if I do or not)
Hypocritical? Possibly. But that would involve a discussion on my thoughts of movies.
I mean a proper theatre, one that I feel should be spelled re not er.
I went to an annual performance of the San Francisco Ballet Nutcracker and about 2 minutes into the show, people dancing on stage and everything, comes a family, with noo idea where they're sitting! Ok I get that finding a seat in the dark is disorienting, I understand things happen and you're late to a show. but pleeeeeease don't stand there discussing where to sit. find an empty seat right away, regardless if they're together or not. THENN comes another lady even later who comes to a full row, demands that they're sitting in her row and they get up and move to another empty row. Then the lady says to the remaining people that they're in her seat! LADY JUST SIT DOWN! which I actually managed to say in a firm but polite voice. which she did after me repeating that firmly 3 times, especially since she's blantantly obstructing my friend and mine view. and PLEASE turn off your phone! I know you wanna know what time it is and when it's gonna end but please dont take out your phone which is gonna shine like lightning in a darkened theater to see the time. Now I get distracted and pissed. And whatever you do, DON'T take a flash picture. Sure I'm all for taking pictures (though majority of professional theatres object it and may confiscate your camera) but you are not only blinding and distracting me, you are seriously blinding and distracting the dancers.
So, summary;
Leave early to be at the show early, even if that means leaving 30mins earlier, DO IT! I mean in regards more to a high show, like San Francisco Ballet, or something. I paid good money to be there, I know you did too, let's be gentle and respectful and make this enjoyable for everybody.
Dress appropriately. No you don't hafta dress like you're at the oscars, just look nice! Please no ugg boots!
Go to the bathroom before the show! and give yourself 5mins to find your seat and chat and look around the theatre.
please don't bring kids to a 2hr show. That's just mean. I know you're delusional. Only bring a kid above the age of 8 at the absolute lowest minimum, we all know 3yr olds can't even focus on a half hour tv show, why should they focus on a ballet? I know you wanna enrich your kid or provide memories, they won't be enriched or have memories before the age of 8 of the ballet. plus it'll be easier on you, trust me.
Keep your cell phone in your pocket/purse and wait til intermission to look at it.
and NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY!
Thank you and enjoy the show

Thrifty and thriving!
Ok I admit maybe the title isn't that great but it's what popped in my mind and I like to be spur of the moment in writing usually.
Anyways...thrifty.
As if nobody's talking about that nowadays.
I picked up a pretty nifty book called Be Thrifty. Pretty amazing book actually and I haven't even finished the first chapter!
We all wanna use less and be more resourceful and green for cheaper. This book doesn't just tell you how to do that. It's taking a look back in time at how people in the olden days (who really should be our heroes) did it and how to bring that thriving thriftiness into today's world. It even tells you how to haggle! I was delighted to read that because I've gone to some fairs and the like where I saw cool stuff but uh I ain't paying that price just cuz you handmade it. Now I got tips to haggle without going out of my comfort zone. It tells you of unknown millionaires because they were resourceful and saved up money they ended up be able to donate millions! and they weren't these fancy computer workers! they just used their brains and talents and friendliness to get what they needed/wanted.
The biggest thing about this book is that it's tangible. It's possible to live and be comfortable in today's society while being thrifty. Use resources! Find out what bazillion things white vinegar and baking soda can do. Do use bartering services; where if you've got a friend who can fix your pipes and you can paint then exchange your services! You paint his house and he fixes your pipes! It is ok and even acceptable to ask about prices, it's so true, you never know until you ask. Now you gotta be careful, you don't demand or deserve ANYTHING, which unfortunately most people think they do. You just simply ask. Be willing to accept the answer no. But the great thing about that is if you were friendly, you may have made a friend in that field! Ooooo that's known as networking which we all know is the 2nd biggest thing to move us forward in life
I wish I could tell you everything in this book but I can't, plus I haven't even finished it haha. So I HIGHLY recommend picking it up, it is only $15. Also use your brain! Don't buy cheap. Don't buy chemicals. When you can, make it yourself! Learn simple skills to save money (and make you smarter and feel better about yourself which we all love feeling)
Next to the Bible, this book has majorly changed my life ;) (Remember, the bible is more important though!)

Art imitates life
Here lately I've been discovering how true that phrase really is!
I'm not sure how to begin to explain it to you but I'm gonna try...hopefully you'll get it =)
I was reading a book and it was talking about how we truly do need beauty in this world. And take a look around at art....it is almost always a reflection of something in the world such as the human body (usually the female's...there's kind of a surprising reason to that) or nature, the colors of this world and so forth.
We need beauty to inspire us, to sustain us, in a sense I believe to escape whatever it is that's bogging us down momentarily. I mean what do most people do when they need a break? They go take a walk, go to a park or a beach or take a vacation in a really beautiful location because it does nourish us and revive us.
So upon reading this I tried to regain my sense of wonder of the world. I (usually) walk my dog every day so I began with that. What I discovered was something beautiful and honestly, shockingly simple.
Trees.
There are literally hundreds of different trees in my neighborhood! Now are they all gorgeous? Not necessarily. But what creates the beauty and awe in me is the variety! One house could have 3 different kinds of trees. It's kind of crazy to be inspired by this but I truly was! Each kind is so different and unique!
Another thing I've been noticing is the sky. Holy cow! Every day it's vastly different and beyond beautiful. Here lately in the last month and a half each day the clouds have been stunning. Like literal intricate art work. God must've been doing an exhibit on clouds because they were so beautiful and intricate and astounding! It seemed more so then usual! and I loved it.
So in all this, it answered my question of why art exists. Because honestly, we all ask that question. Especially if you're an artist of some sort. I really struggled with this as a dancer because I knew I connected with this artform and seeing art in museums but I never quite got my answer. Until now. So no, art is not some fruitless frivolity. It serves to nourish us. (Granted we do need to stay in the real world...) But now I no longer feel guilty about my time spent as a dancer and enjoying art. For it is a reflection of life, a reflection more importantly of God, for He IS the ultimate artist! I mean He created us and this world, He gave us artistic ability (some more than others haha) He knew what He doing!

Everybody hurts
For some reason I felt prompted to write a bit about pain and experiencing it.
I think we need to learn to not be so afraid of it.
But frankly the ONLY possible true way to really get through it and actually survive is God.
Jesus, God with a big G, not some mystical force.
God knows I've gone through some serious pain and it's funny how different things hit us differently. For instance losing my mom wasn't all that hard compared to the emotional pain and trauma I dealt with when I had my bladder surgeries. Why? I have no idea. I'm not saying my mom's death didn't hurt but maybe either because I suppressed it so deeply at the time and the grief came in stages or I may not even be fully done with the process but my bladder surgeries sent me for a serious tailspin that I can say I've finally "seen the light of day" on it.
But on the other hand I think we need to be reminded of pain and serious tragedies. Words will never be enough to capture it and I think we need to see true horror once in awhile to remember the goodness of life, the strange necessity of pain that draws us closer to God.
I've had 2 recent experiences with that; just finished watching The Pianist the other day and the godforsaken tragedies that happened I couldn't comprehend til I watched the movie. Of course I knew the holocaust was horrible and all that but I had never seen it before with my own eyes, words cannot and will never do justice to the horror.
Another one was the Passion of the Christ. Now I haven't seen the whole thing yet but the clip of the crucifiction of Christ stunned me beyond words. He went through that unspeakable pain without a word? without rebuttal? I mean I can't even explain it here!
I know I'm kind of jumping all over the plate with this but we need to face up to our pain. To more importantly give them up to God. Truly. I was reading this amazing book and it described perfectly that pang of guilt you feel when you've forgotten to do something very important but you didn't wanna own up to it but you KNOW it needs/needed to be done.
Thank GOD He gently reminds us and then it's our choice to deal with past and present pain. I'm learning that there's a reason you felt that pang in that moment, something awakened you to the pain and unmet desire. Not so we can go crap man, that hurts; well I'll take care of it later. No, God's asking you to deal with it now, to say hey this hurts, help me to deal with this.
I could basically write a whole book on what God's been teaching me and speaking to me about, it makes my heart burst in a good way.
If you don't truly know God, He's waiting to know you, to take your pain. He knows your pain feels unremoveable. It IS unremoveable until you let Him deal with it. He's not going to force His way, but he hates watching you hurt, just like we hate watching our loved ones hurt but we can't do anything until they ask us. Here's the crazy thing, He's using that pain in hopes that you'll come to Him asking for help so
He can provide real healing. Is He giving you that pain? No, but He's allowing it, just like some daddies do so that the kid will ask next time for help, for strength that they don't have
And the book I mentioned? It's called Walking with God by John Eldredge.
I recommend it so so much. It changed my life and I've grown up in church! I believe it'll change your life whether you've been a christian forever or just starting at or wherever you are in relation with God.

How to be a stepford wife
Well...not really haha.
I'm not an obsessive cleaner even though my ancestors are like known for it (we call it dutch cleaning, when it's so far beyond clean, it's like heaven and untouchable, it's a funny inside joke amongst us dutchies, especially the younger generation)
annd I'm far off track as usual
While I generally dislike the act of cleaning but yet like clean stuff, there's something awesome about knowing you conquered a cleaning thing that's generally known as difficult. And I've found lately cleaning to be almost therapeutic, maybe that's why they have ingrates and never do wells do it.
anywho
So I was in a cleaning frenzy and I decided to conquer the bathtub/shower (it's one of those combined ones, a shower within a bathtub) and I had given up hope on ever effectively really truly cleaning the walls of it (don't we all at some point? we just try to keep it manageable)
when behold, I recalled that I had bought some of the clorox spray cleaner with natural ingredients (Clorox has a line of "natural" cleaners that I quite like, with nice smells instead of the weird overly perfumed smells like the other products)
I grabbed it and sprayed it on all the walls and let it soak for a few minutes. Took a sponge and wiped it down and it was CLEEEAN! like beautiful shiny magazine clean! (which with my tub, is hard because the people who lived in the house before never EVER cleaned anything they owned ugh)
Effortless, easy, and beautiful. I was quite happy!

moisty shmoisty
Yeaaaah I bet that's not even a word!
I just didn't wanna use the zoolander line about how moisture is the essence of beauty.
Anyways
Now for a little makeup review, or rather moisturizer review.
Now whether it's because I don't care enough or what I'm generally not the best at makeup (although to say I'm slathering on blue eyeshadow and bright pink lipstick) it's just I have the very bare basics down but otherwise, I count on the knowledge of my friends or the beauty world.
Well apparently part of good skin care is using moisturizer. I always was like naaah, I got oily-ish skin, that's just gonna make it worse.
Well after reading a post over at http://www.bachmanssparrow.com/blog/ I was convinced I should look into moisturizer.
But oy! I don't wanna spend the money or the research about something I know nothing about!
Cut to a late night shopping trip at CVS pharmacy (I actually needed some toiletries) I randomly spotted Alba moisturizer. Something prompted me to buy it. It had natural ingredients, and was oil-free which I read s the key for oily skin types.
I have been using it for the past few days and I absolutely love it! It has a light "hawaiian" scent, and I do mean light; cuz if it was any stronger I'd chucked the stuff by now, I'm very picky about smells, especially if it's gooing to be on my skin all day.
It literally feels refreshing everytime I put it on! and it's not even advertised as refreshing! haha
And it has kept my face from getting oily and shiny and from those weird dry flakes on my face
So extremely highly recommended and love.
And it's only $12!
Most likely found at your average drugstrore

Melons, Friends, Jugs.
What do those have in common?
Names for boobs.
(here is where I do my apologizing for the last time for lack of updates)
Now normally I'd leave my reviewing for my friend emmaly over at danceinthebayarea.blogspot.com but she was a dancer in it and hey its my blog, and dance shows are a part of me (having been a former dancer)
I have watched this piece since it's inception piece and it's been a true journey. The amazing thing about the choreographer Malinda Lavalle is that theres an amazing sense of guts and intsinct in her pieces, very rarely is something overworked, it just seems to emanate from her.
I'll give my thoughts on her journey with this piece. (oh yes I will!)
The first time i saw it, it was like a little 5 minute piece but it totally grabbed my attention and honestly even shocked me a bit. It was girls manhandling their boobs to a soundtrack of machine guns. My first reaction was shock but as I dwelled on it afterwards my reaction was honestly glee. I loved the audacity and the originality! And a soundtrack of machine guns?? Brilliant beyond words!
Then she brought the piece over to the RAW (resident artist workshop) over at the Garage in San Francisco (small venue but great for exploring your dance options)
This showing was longer, more in the 15-20mins range. The piece was still delightful but honestly on reflection was overworked to a degree, but hey that's part of exploring choreography. Instead of just manhandling boobs to be like guns there was an element of the "whole woman" that act of "OMG do I look pretty?" and the dominance fight of who's boobs are better.
Malinda also has amazing talent of understanding rhythm. It's almost like a drummer in a sense because she can set perfect movements that go with the music so perfectly that it makes you smile in delight.
Then the culmination of the piece at the Garage was last night.
Let me tell you, it was brilliant!
My honest and visceral reaction was to respond verbally to everything I saw. Some people actually did. not just by laughing or gasping or what have you but to physically say a word or sentence in response, which was interesting, I've never had that reaction before.
The dancers subtleties are amazing and unique to each of them, there were some moment where Malinda tapped into that, such as Maggie's fierceness and audacity. She's the first one to turn around and say tits, right in your face, matter of factly. Joy's facial expressions that have an amazing range beyond even most actresses I would say. I could go on and on and I love it, Malinda truly tapped into their personalities so they really came across onstage, even though it probably helps I know most of them personally.
(side note, this is why I can't be a reviewer, I ramble waay too much)
But this piece was effortless, amazing, audacious, hysterical, and thought-provoking.
There was shouting of boob names, audacious dance moves, cat fights, pillow fights, girly girl squealing and conversation, show-girl style dancing, stars on bras, a random pillow posing moment and more.
I truly hope a video of this gets put up and should you ever hear Malinda Lavalle's name in anything, it is a must see
