"Tony Tony Tony Tony Tonyyyyyyyy."

SUTTON FOSTER JUST WON HER SECOND TONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'nuff said.

In Love with Levers.

So, you know that Broadway star Sutton Foster? The person who I've blogged relentlessly about about? She was on Sesame Street,another thing I've blogging countlessley about. She sings an amazing song about levers...and how she is IN LOVE WITH THEM. Genius.

SHE SO EXCITED ABOUT THE LEVERSSSSS!!!!

Thank You For Being A Friend...

I have never seen this show, or know any of the characters' names, but I do know that this show has been called an American treasure. I am talking about "The Golden Girls." Betty White, Bea Arthur and Rue Mclanahan...C'MON!! Now, I have heard this theme song many a time, and most recently it's been stuck in my head. Jealous? I think you should be.

It's kinda just a FABULOUS song.

Adorable.

Where Did I Put That?

Losing things is LITERALLY the most annoying thing in the world. I was working on a math review packet for a test on Friday...I took a break from t for about fifteen minutes...and now I can't find it. It disappeared. It's frustrating. Blargh.

Delusion

Today, I thought school was over...I thought it was Friday and summer had almost begun. I full heartedley believed this as I was walking, or striding, out of school today. I was wrong. It is Tuesday.

Tuesday.

I can't believe it. I currently have 6 more days of school, until the hell week of finals. That's a total of 11 days of learning in my high school. And boy is it coming slowly.

You know that song that goes "time goes by...so slowly"?
Well, soundtrack of my life, when I want it to be "Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now!"

BUT THE JUDGE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND!!! SHE HAS TO GOOOOOO!!!!

Babs + Coco + Barker = Genius.

I stumbled across this while poking aroung my FAVORITE supermodel, Coco Rocha's, blog. Now, Coco was participating in a project by Nigel Barker of America's Next Top Model fame. Nigel is a famed photographer who decided to put together a look-book called "RAW," which depicts simple images of people being completely natural and well...raw. Coco was asked to be a part of this, and OF COURSE she had her own twist. She models fiercely....whilst lip-syncing to her Barbra Streisand playlist...especially the song "Don't Rain on my Parade." The photos are genius and so is this backstage video of the blessed event. Watch it by clicking the below link and you won't be able to get tha tsong out of your head....but totally worth it:

A Motion Picture's Worth A Thousand Words

Recently, I've watched a couple documentaries about the education system in the United States. When I normally think about the hardships about school, my mind goes to essays and tests. However, some of these kids in Los Angeles, Harlem, and Washington D.C., are dealing with extreme poverty and gang violence, on top of their school work. The first documentary that essentially has changed my way of thinking was the critically acclaimed "Waiting for 'Superman'," a PHENOMENAL documentary that actually left me crying at the end. If you have not seen this documentary, turn off your computer, go down to the library or video store, or whatever and WATCH IT. It is such a powerful film that tackles an issue that we do not like to face: we are failing at our job as a country to educate those who need to be. This documentary delves into the very real problems. Problems and levels of unfairness that are apparent in lesser wealthy cities. Rent it. Get it. Watch it. Now. It will change your life.

The second documentary I feel in love with was called "The First Year," and although a smaller documentary, it captured the essence of how hard a teacher, especially a new teacher in their first year of teaching, has to work in one of these inner city class rooms dealing with little children brought up in gangs or poor neighborhoods. These teachers work to hard and sometimes there are things they cannot control. I was actually very inspired by one teacher in this documentary: Mr. Nate Maloney. He taught the fifth grade and was super hands on in his practicing. He would work one on one with students and help them out of class too. He would take some fishing, some to lunches, and just plain ol' visit some at home if they were sick. I was actually so inspired that I looked up more about him, and found out that he has since become the principal of the elementary school. I shot him an email explaining my gratitude for his involvement in bettering the lives of those who society might label as hopeless. "The First Year." Watch it. Now. It will change your life.

Both of these documentaries were so amazingly directed my Mr. Davis Guggenheim, who people might know as the director of "An Inconvenient Truth." That's the next one on my list. Thank you Mr. Guggenheim!
