There are no penguins at the north pole.
The opera is open! While there was quite a bit of drama, everything for the most part went smoothly, and I really couldn't have asked for much better. Near the end, this happened:
Jen: Don't forget, everyone, we have penguins bowing tonight.
Spot Op: Penguins? All the way from the north pole?
Jen: Penguins aren't found at the north pole, actually, they're mainly in Antarctica and the tip of South America.
Spot Op: ...
Jen: *warming to the subject* You know what else is found in Antarctica? Cephalopods.
All three assistants in unison over headset: Don't talk about cephalopods, you'll miss a light cue!
I nearly fell off my stool.
Let's talk about But Not the Song. Everyone is already reading this, obviously, but oh my god. It is breaking my heart. I say I'm not that into hurt/comfort, but then I guess that is not true when the one being hurt is Brendon. I do love when people hurt Brendon. (SORRY BDEN I LOVE YOU.) This story is amazing, seriously, and just getting started. I AM ALL CAUGHT UP NOW, AUGH, MUST WAIT FOR MOOOOORE.
I really want to write, but nothing's coming yet. Maybe I should take a walk and see what floats up. Hmmmm.
