Durang was a good time. I should read more of his stuff, just because I love the madcapness of "DMV Tyrant" and "Funeral Parlor" and Lydia's "Peter Pan" monologue from a couple years ago, and "The Actor's Nightmare" was exceptional...or at least I remember finding it so. And I need to read plays in general.

My throat is sore like whoa. Damn Third Eye Blind for being so fun to sing scream along too. But it's so worth it. I just love that album ( Read more... )

It was such a human thing to do ( Read more... )

Tom's acting class went really well. That man is just an incredible teacher. I mean, it was just running through monologues (I got the fabled Santa Claus one) for a few hours, but arguably I learned more about acting today than I have in the entire year of advanced acting thus far...well, maybe not that far.

I went to the Revival House to see "Lawrence of Arabia" this evening. I don't remember when I saw it last, but I liked it much better this time. It's a very good movie...they even did a fairly good job at passing off a lot of Englishmen as Arabs. The Revival House is a very good place, I've decided. It's a café/movie house in Westerly.

Yesterday was a MLK assembly. A few people from Mrs. Wilson's class gave speaches they wrote, including Alden. They were all really good. I don't remember what they did in past years, but I think this year's was better ( Read more... )
