So first of all, I would like a book on the history of the school building to be my grad project. Good idea, yes/no?

Also, I get to use the Alan Rickman tag that I just can't make myself get rid of! Because he edited the writings that make up the play My Name Is Rachel Corrie, from which I am taking a monologue.

Well, I had a really, really nice evening.

Starting with the fact that OMFG NO MORE BRUNDIBAR. Except that I must track down 25 scores. Urg. But it is all over, and hurrah, hurrah! So then I adventured downtown and ate a falafal and had fun. But man, it was cold. But I don't even care one bit.

But first. CALIFORNIA, WTF. People need to live and let live. Stop fighting with people who are in loving reslationships that JUST want to spend their lives together. SERIOUSLY.

And also, there was some serious Obama excitement, but people didn't stay up to watch it all. I was mildly surprised that I was one of few that saw the speeches live.

And... ( Read more... )

...I will NOT use this post to talk about the horror that is Brundibar. This election is so much more.

I am trying to find the best source, and I'm using the Yahoo Dashboard while I work on my schoolwork. I am really excited -- I am staying up this year. The one year, I fell asleep thinking Al Gore was the new president. ...Evidently, that wasn't so ( Read more... )

I hate this show, I hate this show, I hate this show. Okay, so let us recall THAT THREEPENNY CREW MEMBER that gave me such attitude. Well, she is my deck crew now. I think I've mentioned that. But anyway, she has STILL NOT REPORTED TO ME. Well, hadn't, when this story starts.

( I was REALLY not impressed. )

So I am home sick today. And feeling pretty awful. Um. Yeah. Yesterday, I went to school, didn't turn in an ITR, went to Brundibar where I ended up making the cast do a rather painful exercise I learned about in Skriker, went to Joshua's for a little while before going to a college to see Oklahoma!, which I must now write a paper about. And my God ( Read more... )

Ok. I am breathing deeply. I am calming down. I am trying to pretend that I do not feel like absolute crap.

The cast cannot take notes. There are a few performers that do take notes, that do commit. One in particular ALWAYS KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING. And I like her. A lot. But on the whole, they don't take direction, they don't care, and they are ( Read more... )

So. This morning I was quite chipper, and then...I learned that no, I cannot go to my boyfriend's house after work. I had been looking forward to going since leaving, and it is just about the only sure thing I look forward to these days. So I was completely bummed out. THEN, my father said I was having an attitude problem. THEN, I was by myself at ( Read more... )

Brundibar is not to be discussed in this post. All that needs to be said is that I think I have succeeded in making the cast hate me, which some people tell me means I'm doing my job as a stage manager.

Did some shopping for stuff I needed. Blank CDs, for one. Bought red lipstick, too, which I don't think I've had for a long time, not that I will ( Read more... )

In my computer, I have a Tosh icon that says *le sigh* and I think I need to get it. Not really, but it would be fitting. Instead, I'll use some Ellis Graveworthy poetry.

Today...not something I'm really going to elaborate on. I had some major issues. Basically, not all epiphanies are good. When you suddenly realise you are doing nothing meaningful ( Read more... )
