Midterms
Midterms . . . I'm in a hate-love relationship with them. Hate for the studying and the actual tests (Did you know I wrote four essays today? And all of them were over three pages long!) and Love for the pretext of studying (playing KH2 with Noelle and Brit and consuming massive amounts of mochi in my basement) and that we get to go out to lunch and nearly everyone in the whole village is there.
Oh, it was really funny, I ran into Moko and his little gang and we were certain my brother had missed his exam - apparently a bunch of people were looking for him and when Moko saw him, he was wearing his dazzed 'oh dear what the heck' expression. I can totally see him showing up for the French exam with his calculator in hand or something silly like that. ^^ Really he just left early or something like that.
My show was AWSOME! Seriously, we were in an ACTUAL THEATER! I got to ride the moving furniture! And hang nearly all the way off the catwalks! (Believe it or not, not in the whore scene!) And there was a really hot stagehand with this crazy hair who told me he read Terry Pratchett. XD I totally have to do more shows there.
But yeah. Joey was top of his form, he got two standing ovations in one performance - once right after "Bring him home" and the other during bows. And John nearly strangled us because the star of the performance we're space sharing with is a real diva apparently (he's supposed to be Phantom!) and called and complained about feathers in his dressing-room. I think by the end we drove him completely mental, we got serious and 'Got our man on' (Ohh, the quotes from that show!) and did really well. There were reports that he'd been laughing maniacally up in the sound box.
Of course there were injuries too - our Eponine got punched in the face right before her death scene and had to sing with a bloody nose, and then our Javert nearly broke his wrist in the suicide scene because the rope wasn't done right (seriously - best scene ever! The effects were great!) and I think Enjourlas walked into a pole. But it was still great. And I'm totally heartbroken because I won't be going back till february!
Libba Bray is an amazing author. If only she weren't hanging out with Cassandra Claire still_! >:[ I was pleased to see that in her 'thanks to everyone' in the front of the back, that she told Holly Black she would 'Birth her baby for her' and mentioned Claire just once. Hah, take that plagiarizer!
