New Computer YAY!
Alright children. It's time for a little jwo love coming your way.
1. I miss you all bunches, all you silly east coast people and your weather.
2. I am McGurlver. (just read it out loud, you'll get it) They should make a TV show about how amazing I am at fixing things, because I am the greatest. Way more great than the Cheat. I should learn how to make things blow up, then I could really be McGurlver and then little old men would watch reruns of my show and drool (more than they usually drool).
3. Since the spring show has finally been announced, I can finally share it with you guys: it's Little Shop! I'm excited, although Lachelle doesn't seem too sure that she actually wants me to direct. I'm trying to get redhead Kate to choreograph for me cuz that would be super fun. My only reservations about the show are that there'll be 70 kids in a 10 person show, and who the crap is going to play the plant? We don't have any large black men to pull off that voice. We don't even have any small black men. Oh, Agoura, you are so so diverse. All those different shades of white in your cultural rainbow... teehee
4. So Sean and I got a router and a gym membership yesterday. The router doesn't work, but the gym guy was really fucking cool, very funny, and he's (of course) also an aspiring actor so he hooked us up with mad discounts. Turns out he knows my boss at Chevy's because he also hooked him up with a cheap membership in return for free margaritas :) I need to get those kind of hookups working.
5. Speaking of knowing people, we met a waitress on Sunday night at Frankie's on Melrose who verified a long-standing myth of the theatre world. There's this famous story about how Kevin Spacey was performing Iceman Cometh and some asshole in the front row got a cell phone call that he actually took in the middle of Mr. Spacey's monologue. The story I had heard was that Spacey stopped his speech, bent down and said to the guy in a very terse tone something along the lines of " Hang up the fucking phone." Turns out I was wrong. Elia, the watiress from the other night was actually AT THE PERFORMANCE!!!!! The true story is that as the guy was rudely exiting the theatre, Spacey just stopped talking and fumed, silently watching the man leave. Once he was gone, he said, "As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted..." and launched full-speed back into the monologue he had been performing. Elia said that during the pause you could hear a pin drop. I was floored. I thought it was just a myth, but no, she was actually there to see it happen! I was going to call one of my BADA friends on th east coast, but it would have been 2 am by then, so I called Heather (west-coast BADA friend). But oh man was it cool!
Alright, I should actually accomplish something today besides transferring files between computers. I love you all and hope everything super-dee-duper!
luv
