Hi again
I updated this blog 3 weeks ago?
Really?
Go, me!
I must have been busy, since I can't even remember having done that. I've been directing that children's play I mentioned, which kind of takes up all my brain space. I'm pretty much done with it, though, since it opened last night to great applause, has another show in, oh, two hours, and closes tonight.
The kids have been great. I can't say too much about it since, you know, there are expectations of confidentiality and all, but I will say that they've been fun and creative and many of them are much cooler than I was at that age (shocking, but true.) I'm glad I took that on.
The other big event was that my motherboard crashed the night before I was supposed to turn in my final grad school assignment! I didn't know it was the motherboard at the time and thought I had just poked my computer in an unwise manner and somehow sabotaged myself. Do any of you ever wonder things like that? Like, "I stubbed my toe after I thought something mean about someone--I'm trying to tell me something!" Whether magical thinking works or not (I know it doesn't, but I still seem to do it), I was relieved to know that I wasn't responsible for my computer's sad turn, but it *stank* to go through all the machinations of buying another computer and loading up the replacement disks.
Wow. Am I really blogging about my computer troubles? How boring would I like to be? ::Stands on head! :: ::does little dance::! Directs you over to twitter (@JessicaLeader), where I occasionally post about the Great Condiment Undertaking in my household, wherein my sweetie and I are locked in a fierce competition as to who can use up the most condiments in order to see the back of our fridge. She is totally winning, but it is a win-win situation, because our fridge hasn't looked this great since the Great Condiment Undertaking of January (or so.) Go, go, fridge light!
Off to take a walk in the blasting heat before show #2.
Peace out, brussel sprout,
Jess
