Wednesday night went to go see In Fields Where They Lay, a workshop reading of a new in-process play about the Christmas Truce. Alan (from Suckers) was in it, as the upper-class British officer, as well as the cockney mail deliverer. A lot of it was really good ( Read more... )

Have come to the startling realization that The Empress of Sex is not as much a salute to Marivaux as I intended, and is more the plot of a comic operetta. ...a genre in which I've always wanted to write, but never did. Till now. By accident.
I wrote in 14 speaking roles plus a chorus. Of course it's an operetta ( Read more... )

All the promo photos from Ore, or Or here.

Christine is looking for short plays about Golf- I already suggested David Ives' Foreplay, or The Art of the Fugue. Any other suggestions?

Oh man, literaryquotes was just featured in LJ Spotlight, so now we have tons of people stumbling in and posting whatever crap they think is deep, including song lyrics (though the moderators have cracked down on that), unattributed epigrams, and misquoted Shakespeare*. Fuckers ( Read more... )

Spent a lovely boring night at home.
Made hamburgers.
Added all kinds of spyware detectors, and cleaned up my computer a lot.
Watched a little TV. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, how I've missed you!
Decided "Knowing Me, Knowing You" is an awesome ukulele song (David, when I was picking up alexlady's birthday painting from him, suggested "Carry ( Read more... )

Realized, thanks to a poll over in polloftheday, that I lost my virginity 15 years ago this year. I really should have had more sex than I have had since then. I don't remember what month it was (it was close to Summer), though I do remember Mr. Big's "To Be With You" was playing on Alan's radio.

Re-read Summer of Love the past week. GOD, I love that book ( Read more... )

Didn't go to Drunken! Careening! Writers! Because I went to Marie's for a drink first and ended up drunk.

There was a terrible guy there who didn't know any songs, but kept trying to sing anyway. somecamerunning and I both thought he was terribly attractive in that untamed wild idiot way, but I let him make the moves on the monkeyboy ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday foulpost! (Does he even still read LJ?)

Cat and Girl continues to rock my world.

Going to Drunken! Careening! Writers! tonight; haven't been in months. If anyone wants to come, it's free, at KGB bar. 7-9. Will probably head over to Marie's to catch the end of Jim Allen's happy hour shift afterward.

It's funny how when I actually start ( Read more... )

Trial STILL not over, but they let us go early today, so I am now at work desperately trying to get some hours in.  Someone suggested that it's for the Jewish Holiday that we were let out early, but I don't know if that's true.  So, going back in on Monday.  Hopefully we'll be done by then.  Finished The Postman (nowhere in the book, BTW, does it ( Read more... )
