On Friday, plumtreeblossom, cathijosephine, and I went to see Eddie Izzard’s Force Majeur show, which was wonderfully hilarious. Can’t possibly do it justice. (And wow, the Wang Theatre is a stunning and stunningly restored venue!)

Beforehand, plumtreeblossom and I had had dinner nearby at Empire Garden, which was the site of our first date almost eight years ago, and I had a scorpion ( Read more... )

Having a wonderful weekend with plumtreeblossom. I got to see closing night of the fabulous and very funny Theatre@First production of Twelfth Night. Congratulations to director Ari and to a wonderful cast and crew (including a bunch of excellent actors new to Theatre@First). Then after strike we went to the cast party which was delightful (and yummy, which ( Read more... )

After the fabulous closing night of Lysistrata and a wonderful birthday party for surrealestate and DD's darling Tadpole, plumtreeblossom and I were crossing the street this evening when we were hit by a car. It was making a left turn into the street we were crossing; the driver had probably slowed for the turn but didn't seem to slow at all to avoid hitting us; he did pull ( Read more... )

Too busy and tired for a real post, but here are a few scattered impressions:

• I’m going to be directing! I’ll be directing audioboy’s staged radio-play adaptation of the 1954 movie Them!. I am hugely looking forward to my first directing experience, and am very grateful to audioboy and the rest of PMRP for the opportunity. [Note to self: Post this to Facebook, ( Read more... )

My mother silverlibre has been in town visiting for a bit over a week, and it’s been wonderful! Lots of wonderful home-cooked meals (mostly due to her, although we all collaborated on the Thanksgiving dinner, and plumtreeblossom’s Thanksgiving turkey was wonderful, and lots of wonderful things to do and see and talk about. I don’t have time to do it justice, but here are ( Read more... )

Had a wonderful and very social weekend, mostly with plumtreeblossom. Friday night was Cards Against Humanity with a wonderful group of awful people. Saturday I slept very late (if a bit fitfully), and Saturday evening we went to a fabulous huge joint birthday party where we both had a blast. I got a bunch of enjoyable conversations on a bunch of enjoyable ( Read more... )

Posted this to Facebook this morning, but didn’t get a chance to post here until now. (It’s been a busy day!) Happy birthday, vanguardcdk! Hope you had a fabulous birthday.

• Monday was the regular Poly Boston dinner at Bertucci’s. Unfortunately plumtreeblossom couldn’t make it because of rehearsal. It was quite fun, with a bunch of cool new people!

Just wanted to let you all know I’m still here. :-)

plumtreeblossom and I have a busy and fun weekend ahead of us, starting with Pride and Prejudice again tonight and including dinner with vanguardcdk, his parents, and cathijosephine on Sunday.

And wow, typing this on a touchscreen is a tedious process!

Last night plumtreeblossom and I had a lovely dinner and drinks with cathijosephine and vanguardcdk at Five Horses, a new upscalish restaurant in Davis Square that pheromone and Dreaming had introduced us to. It was Yum! Mee! And the company was excellent. Was great to get some catching up - I hadn’t seen cathijosephine in a couple weeks, and while I see vanguardcdk on a fairly regular basis, it’s nice to get to sit ( Read more... )
