Back in 2011, a movie called Thor happened. You've probably heard about it. I was mildly excited about it, as I was really digging Marvel comics movies and my teenage crush on Ken Branagh was looking forward to seeing what he did with something that I had no real prior emotional investment in. I got especially excited when I started hearing good ( Read more... )

- Through luck, timing, and some modicum of talent, I have managed to turn a one-time sub gig into a long-term sub gig into an Actual Ensemble Member gig at the church where I've been occasionally moonlighting for almost a year now. Many thanks to darthfox for putting my name out there last fall when they needed an alto to step in at the last minute ( Read more... )

In my defense... I've been VERY BUSY ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I took a theatre pilgrimmage. I got up at 5am and was on a bus heading out of DC at 7:30am, driving up to New York City. I landed in NYC shortly before noon, had lunch, dropped by the Drama Book Shop and lusted over several books that I couldn't afford, saw the matinee of Matilda, ate dinner, and got BACK on the bus to be back in DC by ( Read more... )

Having this LJ for so many years is SUCH a great thing, though, that I definitely want to relearn the knack and get back ( Read more... )

After a long and intense weekend of rehearsing for Love, I pretty much went into hibernation mode on Sunday. I woke up at 8am (because I am tragically incapable of sleeping late these days), but didn't leave bed until 10:30, at which time I made breakfast and got right back into bed. I read my book (rereading The Orchid Affair), I watched movies ( Read more... )

Today, I watched two movies.

The first was Follow That Bird, the movie that TRAUMATIZED A GENERATION OF CHILDREN. Watching it through the lens of adulthood, it's startling how deeply unsettling the movie still is, but also how incredible a community Sesame Street showcased for children. For those who've never seen the film, a group of concerned ( Read more... )

YOU GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANY MORE.

So as those poor souls who follow me on Twitter are aware, I decided to rewatch Thor last night to satisfy a craving I've had for a few weeks (and thankfully, the ~*super sweet*~ downloads are out there now). And like. I KNEW I was excited to watch it again, but I had NO IDEA just how excited ( Read more... )
