As many of you know, I am back working with QO Theatre. I have been doing alot of set design / lighting / and construction. This fall we are doing Peter Pan.

Here is my question…

We need a “voice” for tinkerbell. We have heard of another theater digitizing / sythisizing someones voice to create a voice for Tinkerbell.

Any ideas on how we can accomplish this?

Hello All, I have not had alot of time to post lately. My new job has been a bear. I did however come back for my second show at Quince Orchard H.S.. The Ironic thing about doing into the woods is that it was also the last show i did there while a student. the theatre’s website is QO THEATRE.

Hope you like the pictures.

For those with no children – this is totally hysterical! For those who already have children past this age – this is hilarious. For those who have children this age – this is not funny. For those who have children nearing this age – this is a warning. For those who have not yet had children – this is birth control! —————————————-

The following came from an anonymous mother in Austin, Texas:

Things I’ve learned from my children (honest – no kidding):

1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.

2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

3. A 3-year old’s voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20×20 ft. room.

5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6. The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn’t stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words “uh oh,” it’s already too late.

8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

9. A 6-year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies.

10. Certain Lego’s will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old.

11. Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

12. Super glue is forever.

13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can’t walk on water.

14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15. VCR’s do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18. You probably do not want to know what that odour is.

19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on. Plastic toys do not like ovens.

20. The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.

21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22. It will, however, make cats dizzy.

23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24. The mind of a 6 year old is wonderful.

First grade…true story: One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home. She read,” …and so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said, “Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?'”

The teacher paused then asked the class, “And what do you think that man said?”

One little boy raised his hand and said, “I think he said…’Holy crap! A talking pig!'” The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

25. 60% of men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

I occasionaly browse through a website called Slickdeals. They list discount prices and sales that the manufacturers don’t advertise normally. For instance, a while back i found the extended version of LOR two towers for $19. There is a sale going on now for a Xbox Bundle w/ 4 Games (Star Wars Clone Wars,Tetris Worlds, Jet Set Radio, Sega GT 2002) for $180. What makes this deal sweet is if you enter the coupon code of SHIP1DAY, you get free overnight shipping. I thought it was too sweet of a deal to not share.

The site is pretty nice for getting good deals on Computer memory and HW as well.

Hope Everyone has a Great Holiday & A Happy 2004 !
