Well, this morning I went to pick up the paperwork for the SOT job application. When I got there, two other women were there filling out paperwork too. My mind was immediately filled with negative thoughts - they're wearing nicer clothes than I am, they're older than I am, they look more professional than I do, etc etc. But I took the paperwork ( Read more... )

Ok, so I finally saw V for Vendetta last night, thanks to Christie : ) I just loved it - from both an artistic and theatrical point of view, and a screaming fan girl point of view ( Read more... )

Ok, so I just got back from watching Phantom of the Opera (the 1920s silent version) acompanied by organ improvisation. In All Saints' Chapel. It was so awesome. (Medusasowl, you'd have loved it.) It was so grand. And there were funny parts too. And of course sitting with Christie made for lots of whispered jokes and references. And no, I ( Read more... )

Ok, so it's not that bad... Mike's offered me a near-full time job at the new blue chair market - partly prep work, partly kinda behind-the-counter-at-the-deli type work. It's not really what I want, but I can at least cut back to 2 jobs - I'd have 30ish from this, and then SCCS in the afternoon/evening. It wouldn't interfere with evening ( Read more... )

Last night, Kate, Kevin, and I went to go see The Libertine in Chattanooga. It was very well done. The whole thing was grainy with faded colour (I could almost hear a naration saying "and here we have actual footage from the period..."), and everything was truthful and nasty. All the actors were either wearing the heavy white exaggerated makeup ( Read more... )

And Frida is one of them. The first time I watched it was with gin and tonic. I've watched it since then. But I think tonight is the first time I've watched it with alcohol again. This time it was Chianti (I checked the spelling this time - it is, in fact, spelled with an I). And each sense was just turned on - was just "there". Theatre ( Read more... )

So today I was wigging out at the Blue Chair. I'm really not sure why. I slept decently well last night... I will admit I didn't want to get out of bed this morning, but that was more of a "it's monday and it's cold outside" thing than anything else. SCCS was a breeze this morning - a boring breeze I might add. I was a bum. Then I went to ( Read more... )

Nothing INCREDIBLY spoiler-ific in this post, unless you haven't read the books ( Read more... )

Good things to talk about ( Read more... )

Just finished watching The Crying Game. I like that movie more each time I watch it. Partly it's the incrdible respect for the actor that plays Dil - good lord, to play a woman that convincingly... (plus that's just hot for some reason). And then there's the whole going-to-jail-to-protect-someone-you-love. Devotion is hot ( Read more... )
