Collins is dropping 24 words from their dictionary. At first I was like, "Oh whatever", but then I was all, "O NOES, not 'mansuetude'!".
Ooh, Stark Sands is playing Ferdinand in the Mandy Tempest. Man, and Elizabeth Waterston as Miranda, who I found boring as Hero in Much Ado in the park a couple of years ago.
Someone commented on my Small Craft Warnings review:
most recent previous NYC production was in June 2008 at the Parker Theatre at the Algonquin, starring Kymm Zuckert as Leona, Brian Reilly as Monk, Alan Salsbury as Quentin, and Cynthia Granville as Violet. Wonderful performances, direction, and use of the intimate Parker space.
I knew it had been done recently!
Wow, just had some drama at work- some people planned a meeting without reserving a conference room- then the people who had reserved it kicked them out.
Lots of dumb people on the phones today. Arg.
From another blog:
if you can encapsulate your play/movie/story/anecdote/song/expression into one phrase or sentence ("True love will out") then you should keep the phrase and toss the work. Simplicity is something to be cherished; there's a beauty to it and life is far too complex and messy to boil down to a single truth, anyway (except, perhaps, that breathing is the secret of life.) If you can just say it in words, then you don't need a play. Just call me up and tell me your phrase. That's a valid form of communication, and I'll respect you more for it.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has vetoed a bill that would have honored Harvey Milk's birthday as a statewide "day of significance," reports the Associated Press. In a statement on Tuesday, Schwarzenegger defended his decision by saying that the icon's "contributions should continue to be recognized at the local level."
The bill, which was sponsored by San Francisco Assemblyman Mark Leno, was contested by conservative groups, who appealed to the governor to veto the legislation.
Milk was the first openly gay man to hold a prominent political office in the U.S. when he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. Milk, a film about the politician's life, directed by Gus Van Sant and starring Sean Penn, is set for release this December. (The Advocate)
