So I read The Scarlet Pimpernel for the first time last night, and have to wonder what I thought I was waiting for.  And dad has Braveheart going in the background.  So you'd think that my life is full of excitement and adventure, and that's true, in a vicarious kind of way.

The truth is that I've been sleeping a lot, and doing some work on my paper ( Read more... )

I'm not really sure what it means, I think it's supposed to be something like "running like a Swiss clock" but I'm not sure.  Recently I've taken to saying "nerrrhh-behl-lee-boo" in a similar way that Scarlett O'Hara says "fiddle dee dee" but I doubt that's relevant.  Other than being a certain sign of my eventual loss of turpitude.  (Which, for ( Read more... )

So now not only am I stage managing the production, but I have a small part as well, as people aren't exactly turning out to auditions in droves.  I've been cast as a man... again.  Which isn't surprising, given that it's a mostly male show ( Read more... )

Well I'm home again and getting ready for CPE and dealing with the infrequent internet access.  I've been sleeping a lot and cleaning my room and editing my facebook account (there are pictures now!) and things like that.  I own a flash drive now, which will come in handy when I don't have my own computer for two and a half months (yick!).  I'm ( Read more... )

Well, now, let's see.  I gave in and joined facebook (my name there is in the process of getting changed, I was interrupted whilst creating the account).  I am home safely.  While home I have limited internet access for the moment, because mom's computer: container of all spyware officially died.  (The reinstallation of Windows without reformatting ( Read more... )

Well, the news this morning certainly includes its fair share of death, death, and oh yes, more worldwide death. Osama bin Laden, not satisfied with the amount of death in the headlines these days, has ordered his followers to kill those responsible for the Danish cartoons that are surely old news by now.
