Midsummer rehearsals continue, picking up steam a little but still worrisome. We actually ran the first three acts yesterday, and I remembered most of my lines. We're supposed to be off-book today, and hopefully I'll be there. We'll see! I don't know if it's a range problem, or inherent in the text, but while I initially had some idea of this Puck as a young tomboy tough, the enthusiasm and exuberance are taking over. I don't know, from outside, how it looks, and I'm not sure anyone does with it not really put together yet.
I do like my red Converse, which I'm breaking in. There's just this little peek of bright red below my pants, and it makes me happy.
But anyway, for my own purposes this is a list of films I saw in January. I intended to keep track last year, and fell off the wagon somewhere in August. In an effort not to do that again, I'm posting my list monthly. If nothing else, it'll show you what I've been up to. Even if it does not answer important questions like "why is Grease 2 listed twice in a row?" Yes, I have Things To Say about that, and hopefully will find the time.
Movies in bold are ones I hadn't seen before. Ones with asterisks, I saw in a theater.
