If you were wondering about the title of this blog, it came from a delightful Lord of the Rings parody that was floating around the internet. Bagenders. It was perhaps one of the cleverest and most in depth humor pieces I've ever read for LotR. There were jokes you could only understand if you had read The Silmarillion. That's what I'm talking about.

There was a surface level of humor as well, of course, which is where the whole "sideboard" concept comes from. The idea is that Frodo was left mentally unstable by his ordeal with the Ring and whenever he was reminded of that time in his life, he would make a dash and hide in the sideboard (British term for a cabinet which usually holds the good China or silverware or something). I think it's quite applicable to yours truly.

Last night I went to a job interview for which I was lamentably unprepared. Of course I can't blame myself since I only heard about the interview at about 2 in the afternoon and decided to attend as a spur of the moment decision. The interview was for a position as costumer at Kings Dominion over the summer. That's a major opportunity I just can't pass up - industry experience, new contacts, etc. So I barged in (looking fabulous) and bullshitted my way through the pre-interview quiz on costume techniques/wigs/fabrics. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Kathleen in the costume shop for teaching me what I know thus far, and I'd like to thank Jennifer for wearing a wig at Otakon so I had a very basic knowledge of wigs. I feel like I did pretty well on the interview itself, they seemed very open and friendly. However, I'm not terrifically optimistic since there are only 8 spots open or something like that. It all really depends on how many other applicants they get, I suppose.

Steve Barton's voice is rather delicious. Only as Graf von Krolock, though, I wasn't a fan of his when he was Raoul. Yes.

I am going to dinner at The Little Grill tonight. With someone. I'm not sure how to take this, so I've been a total girl and stressed about what I'm wearing and if it looks like I'm trying or something. It's really rather irritating. I think I'll go read some Cunfucius to calm down. That and I have to for that dratted history paper. Oy.

Sie ist zum Leben erwacht! Die Ewigheit beginnt heut nacht.
That's something like "She has awakened to life! Eternity begins tonight" ICH LIEBE DEUTSCH. Hur hur hur.
