three weeks to go?

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

Thanksgiving break was loverly.  Mom and I went to visit Grandma in Lancaster, then watched TV in the basement with our wine and pumpkin pie (our upstairs TV has died).  Other events of the break included seeing Sideways and Finding Neverland with Mom, National Treasure with Shannon, and renting Laws of Attraction with Jason.  Mom and I also went shopping at DSW, Michael's, and in Penn's Village (got me some shoes), and went looking for chandeliers and whatnot.  Went out to Olive Garden with Jen as well, of course!

I'm feeling a little stressed again, with SO much to do in these next few weeks.  It's that time of year...  In addition to homework, I've got two plays to see, a semi-formal to attend..  At least there's no more mainstage rehearsal!  Hehe. 

I'll be home from December 16th until Jan. 1st, it looks like, and then back to school for a week (for ACTF), and then I'll spend the following week at home again.  So let me know when we'll play, for those of you at home!

Oh, and as a little Muhlenberg-is-stupid sidenote:  they told me they'd fix my windows on Wednesday when I went home for break, so that I wouldn't have to worry about that meanie burglar breaking in and taking my computer.  When did they fix my windows?  TODAY, when I got BACK from break.  Argh.  All is well though, and if it wasn't, I'd bite them.  Seriously.

I need to go to bed soon and wake up on time for Scene Design tomorrow, but if your number 1 thing to look forward to over the Holiday season is the same as mine, check this out.  Tear of joy.

Let it snow, now, please!

"You must remember this, a kiss is still a
kiss". Your romance is Casablanca. A
classic story of love in trying times, chock
full of both cynicism and hope. You obviously
believe in true love, but you're also
constantly aware of practicality and societal
expectations. That's not always fun, but at
least it's realistic. Try not to let the Nazis
get you down too much.

And then Pippin was over.  The run went realllly well, but I'm happy that I can have a life again (sorta).  Yay!  Now I just have a directing rehearsals and two projects to eat my life :)

Oh, and that reminds me...

 

"As for the election, our fight (like Tolkien's road) goes ever on and on, and we must follow where we can. There will be other battles, other elections, and we are legion...  Keep reading, keep thinking, and keep voting." - George R.R. Martin

USA - way to drop the ball.

I hope America learns something from its idiocy.  Then again, I don't...

 

So, umm, here's some Pippin pictures to enjoy.  Please note how beeee-ay-you-tiful they are!  The weekend was great, particularly Saturday night.

RIP Grandpa Lindsey :(

Another Opening, Another Show

I'm Sorry, Bears Can't Vote

So, I guess I haven't updated basically since school started.  That's some crazy stuff - just like my life these past 7 weeks.  Pippin has eaten my life possibly more than any other show ever has.  This excludes summer shows, because in the summer the shows ARE your life.  Well, the same was pretty much true in this rehearsal process.  Things were pretty crazy up through tech, but the show really came together these past few days and I think audiences will really enjoy it.  It's been an invaluable experience working with Robert LaFosse, and Charlie just keeps telling me that now I'm prepared for the real world, which is just as hectic.  Speaking of the real world, the faculty members keep quizzing me on what I'll be doing next year, so once Pippin is over the plan is to start thinking about that and talk about it with all those people who quiz me (Charlie, Devon, Curtis, Beth...).  This weekend should be crazy - the show opens and we have 4 performances this weekend alone, Mom is coming tomorrow, Frankie's mom is taking the cast out to Buca Di Beppo, the theater dept. is having a dinner for us, and my baby interns from the summer are visiting. 

I have a feeling Opening will go really well.  I'm SO proud of this cast - they've really put up with a lot and kept it together.  Break a leg!

This site is good for seeing which candidate your views align with, if you haven't figured it out yet ;)

 

Umm..?

 

Need some wood?

not really an update

No, this is, as always in crazy times, not really an update.  I got out of Pippin early tonight, so I went on a kick of downloading music (Rufus, The Shins, Sinatra, Carbon Leaf...) with my new program, LimeWire, and looking for Spring Break deals.  Any suggestions?  On spring break deals, I mean.  Someplace with a beach and hot and all-inclusive is pretty much what we're lookin' for.  Oh, and I also looked up all the ACTF Stage Management info, which just kinda makes me nervous.  Already. 

Pippin is going fairly slowly and smoothly - we're done blocking out Act I finally, but it needs lots of review and clean-up work!  A month (when we open) feels like a long time, but there's fall break in there...  so really, it's kinda scary. 

I need to go do my Speech homework (i.e. make funny noises), but before I go I wanted to point out that I really enjoy it when people I knew in high school do talented things (I really recommend her song "With Everything I Have").

Ciao.
