Oz speed, Wicked whores!

1. So, after a HUGE, yummy Japanese buffet dinner yesterday night, mirime and I headed home to... errr, watch Wicked. *ahem* And it was, predictably, awesome. There's something about seeing the actresses sing THAT score - that irresponsibly written score - up close, acting the heck out of it even as they're, well, screaming their faces off. This was...

Oh, I have actually slept through (well, not gotten up in time to get to) matinees for which I actually had tickets. Fortunately they were cheap tickets! I only made it to the Rent matinee yesterday because Wes is on a normal-person schedule and harassed me to get myself out of bed and down to midtown.

August should be fun, really - aside from the interviews, it's all vacation-y fun stuff, just a LOT of it! I will probably forego sleep for the entire month. And my California trip has the worst timing ever - the week AFTER Evita and the ween BEFORE 9 to 5 starts its LA run! FAIL, ME.

OH YEAH. JULIA TOMORROW. I kind of keep forgetting! *BAD FAN* Still don't know when I'm supposed to get there or if Leslie's going.

One of the firms I want to interview with handled all of Urinetown's copyright infringement suits against regional productions that duplicated the Broadway show's choreography/staging, and another was started by a lawyer who also wrote Broadway musicals! FUN. And it would be awesome to go overseas for half the summer, especially because I could go somewhere I've never been (like Asia or Australia!) and the firm would pay! One firm REQUIRES two weeks in its London office - DARN.

Again with the hypothetical my-living-in-NYC thing - god. We'd NEVER get to any shows, LOL. You, me and Leslie clearly all have this weird sleeping patterns thing going for us that is not conducive to anything but having breakfast at dinner time and catching a show right after. ;)

I have no words beyond:

WTF. I have to break it out TWICE in one reply?!



(Edited to add) Yeah, I made it just for you. ;) But I suspect this is going to be a ridiculously useful macro to use...

Those jobs definitely sound interesting. Dude, imagine if you were posted to a branch in Asia. Like, in Singapore! Or to Perth and Melbourne! Imagine the flail that would ensue from being in the same country as Sal/Lana/me/whatever. OMG. :D

I know, the sleep schedule of fail is PERFECT for theatre and absolute crap for everything else. Why am I trying to have a real career again?

Oh god, okay, I am sufficiently chastised by the Julia pics! Eeeek. *hides*

Singapore is actually one of the most common overseas locations! Other than, like, London, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. Australia is a little iffier, though one of the firms at the top of my list has offices in both Sydney and Melbourne. There would be so much flail! But then I would be faaaar from Broadway for 6 weeks. I could probably survive.

I'm still trying to convince myself to give my current one up so I can move to NYC. It's not easy. ;)

GOOD. JULIA PICS WILL STALK YOU FOR YOUR FAIL.

Singapore DOES have tons of law offices, so that would be really awesome.

But then I would be faaaar from Broadway for 6 weeks. I could probably survive.

LOL. Try six months. Apparently I have decided I can never be away from NYC for longer than that. Since there's that trip in January, and then possibly another to catch 9 To 5 later in the year. GOD. THIS IS WHY I CANNOT QUIT MY JOB.
