Please send any and all good theatrical vibes you have to Pittsburgh today at 2 PM EST, when Bad Hamlet performs. Thanks -- all of us who are shaky on our lines will appreciate it.

So, the dealio -- my computer is in the shop for 2-4 weeks. Dad has graciously allowed me to use his in the mornings and evenings, when I'm at home, and the parentals are talking about buying me one of those mini-laptops if I don't get my own computer back before we head for the Lower 48 at the end of the summer. (Any suggestions from the f-list on ( Read more... )

Oh hells no, cold/flu thing that has been making the rounds of the summer camp. You've taken down two of my cast members and I saw you gunning for a third, not to mention all the folks in Guys & Dolls and the others shows. You are NOT getting your claws in me. *guzzles tea and Sudafed and Tylenol and goes to bed early ( Read more... )

Things that are awesome:

1. Acting in a scene.
   1. Rehearsing said scene, in which my boyfriend makes a move on me before I reveal that I'm pregnant, out on the quad, in spite of the inherent OH GOD AWKWARD of it.
   2. The pretty girl director getting fed up with the boy's inability to make a move on me and doing it herself to show him what to do.

The Serious Part

Friday morning, Prof. Randy Pausch died after a long -- much longer than expected -- battle with pancreatic cancer.

A number of people have asked me over the last few months if I knew Prof. Paush, going to CMU and all. Nope. He was over in computer science, somewhere I certainly never went in this last year. I'm kind of embarrassed ( Read more... )

Despite BFF's urgings to "Be irresponsible for once in your life!" -- something that I'm actually working on a little, because responsibility is great but boringness is not -- I did not go see The Dark Knight premiere. Instead I went to bed at 11:30 and am damn glad I did so. I'll likely still be a cranky bitch to my casts, but at least I'll be a ( Read more... )

The Good: Finally feeling excited for the plays. Twelfth Night will be ridiculous. The Poet and the Rent will be AWESOME ( Read more... )

Boooo wakefulness.

New job starts today; no more filing, but no more opportunities to surreptitiously work on fic and tag slowtimes all day long. Ah well. Such is gainful employment.

I keep meaning to post about church last night. Reminder to self: post about church last night.

Shower and breakfast and work now. Woohoo.

So the show went . . . well, it went. varadia and phoenixchilde are probably in a better position to say how it was (because they came to see it! <3); I was up in the booth with the light cues I had written into my script five minutes beforehand doing my best impression of Maria at 7:00Yeah. Lines were dropped all over the place; occasionally they were put in where'd ( Read more... )

I continue to create a really really weird impression in my roommate and her friends. They walked in on me making foot-long daggers out of cardboard and duct tape, while the Winchester boys screamed dramatically in the background ( Read more... )
