I won't be going to New York to see Rickman off (off?) Broadway

Jan 18, 2011 23:33

What's new with me this week? Well, for twelve nail-biting hours there was a chance I would be jetting off to New York to see Rickman in a play ( Read more... )

It's so off-off Broadway it's in Brooklyn ( ... )

Guess that's pretty far off Broadway :)

I didn't know that about him (see? Not much of a fan at all, apparently). That does make it seem more likely he'll be back. And I'm saving my money! (in general, not just for him) So like I said, the next time I'm going to be more on the ball. (With your help, of course) ;)

Until then I'll watch my copy of "Private Lives" as a consolation. :D

I know how you feel. I had to pass up the Pee-Wee Herman show on Broadway because of a) expenses and b) late pregnancy. For Pete's sake I used to have his name on my plate and I couldn't even manage the trip. I felt like a fraud.

It's so depressing. I keep asking myself, "Is this all I have to look forward to now? Paying bills until I die?" It's like the definition of youth is having enough financial freedom and lack of responsibility to be able to pursue our obsessions. :(

Damn, that's tough. I think I would have done the same thing, though. At least you know it's a possibility to look/save for now.

Yeah, something to live for I suppose. Anyone who has known me for any length of time would have to agree my self-restraint has come a long way this past year!

He's not going to fall over dead soon, he's not that old yet. Unless he's sick and I don't know about it, which is possible because I don't know anything about this Rickman character you seem to like so much.

But still! You'll get your chance.

Hell's bells, I hope you mean you don't know much about his health condition and not that you don't know who Alan Rickman is.

And "like" is, like, the understatement of the year. I'm OBSESSED with him. As obsessed as my bank account will let me be, that is.

God's wounds, madam! (Too many historical detective books there.) Of course I know who is he, I just don't know much about him, other than he has a nasal voice and has been seen boarding planes multiple times.

Well, jumpin' Jehoshaphat, I'm glad to hear it. Because I've obsessed over many an obscure actor (for one, Jonathan Pryce. Try describing him to anyone not from England) and am used to people looking at me in confusion. In fact, Rickman might be the most mainstream actor I've ever loved (besides Nicolas Cage, but he was a phase).

Nasal voice? A nasal voice that makes a million women melt and want to have his nasally-voiced babies!
