I was surprised to find out that, despite watching the show for many years, I've never interviewed a Project Runway contestant for Oasis before. This year, I was interested to talk with Jay Nicholas Sario, who lives in San Francisco, works for The Gap, and as of this writing, is still going strong on the show. We set up the interview recently through the show's publicist, only to discover that we work within a block of one another. Jay jumped on the phone call just as my automated corporate teleconference voice announced that the call was being recorded. He immediately jumped in.
Oh no... I'm nervous!
But there's no video?! They video'd you on Project Runway. This is just audio and it's not even going to be broadcast.
OK.
I'm not in the habit of promoting other sites. Usually, my role is telling people Oasis isn't a place for them to just join and start trying to divert traffic away from here in their first post. If you don't see a lot of these posts, it's because I delete them.
But, my friend Bradford is working on a new site called fabulis, and it seems like it'll be a classy venture, because, well, he's involved.
The reason I'm posting it here, though, is I know how many of you like FREE stuff, and right now, if you shoot a video of yourself, saying why you're fabulis, they'll send you a free T-shirt. If a lot of people like your video, you may even get a free iPhone, so since I know ya'll love the free, I figured I'd break the rules a bit.
Everything you need to know is here. If you want, feel free to post your fabulis video as a comment here, and we can all vote to help you get an iPhone!
I just got home from Sacramento, where I went to see the FINAL show in the FINAL CITY of the Rent Broadway tour, which is the FINAL time Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal will ever be in the show.
The crowd was electric, filled with many former cast members, and people who flew from all corners of the globe to be there.
When Adam Pascal walked out with his guitar, the crowd erupted. It seemed like it couldn't get much louder. Then Anthony walked out, and I realized I was wrong. The crowd was on its feet before they could even hit their marks, and they stopped and gave the crowd the time to calm down.
Anthony didn't start in with his normal opening line and instead said that this show, like every show, is dedicated to the memory of Jonathan Larson. Then it began.

orchestra makes me happy, but reminds me of sad stuff at the same time -___-

My swim coach, Patty, cares a lot about what us swimmers do.
She doesn't MAKE us do stuff at home, I guess, but she wants us to.
She wants us to eat right, and do dryland.
For example, we were at a a three day swim meet, and it was after the day's events, so we had retired to the hotel. Most of the swim team, including me, decided to go to Safeway.
I bought a HUGE carton of goldfish crackers.
Then, we went back to one of the coaches rooms, named Lee. We played cards, and then we decided to use my goldfish crackers as betting chips.

what is sleep without you anyway?
I really need to grow up

So. I'm taking range for driver's ed this week. This girl that I got paired with is awesome. She's got the same interests and sense of humor as me. I wanna cut to the chase, but I feel like I should explain.
And one of my friends is in it.
But I didn't get paired up with him.
I got paired with this girl, Ariel.
And we were talking about this guy, Eric, that we know.
And he cut me off. on the range, so I said... something.
And we started speculating on if he was a virgin or not, lol.
And we started talking about sex and stuff.

I feel nauseous with every thought.
She loved her first plane ride today, but she still claims the ground.
I know she's going to get addicted to the sky-
but who wouldn't if they could?
It can take you anywhere so I don't blame her.
At least she called twice, and she said "I love you" two times with each call.
I didn't say anything, but the other night..two nights ago, she told me she needed time. She fell too fast, and she's grown afraid ..of closing up soon and inevitably hurting me. We can't be in a serious long distance relationship...

im studying up on communism. the more i read about it, the more it makes sense. i mean us americans have always been told that communism is icky and evil, and im not saying terrible, terrible things havent happened in communist countries, but its all a matter of the right people in goverment.
