"I ALWAYS KNEW JESUS WAS ASIAN."

Broadway Double Header = Freaking Amazing.

The 25th Annual Putnum County Spelling Bee
Aside from a bit too much audience participation, this was an immense amount of fun. Met Jesse Tyler Ferguson, sat close enough to have Barfee spit come flying at me, and genuinely enjoyed finally seeing the production live. Environmental staff kicks ass.

Sweeny Todd
Easily the nicest production I have ever seen. A few little quirky details ran amiss, but Michael Cerveris is now my homeboy. Met He, Patty LuPone, Alex G., and several others. It basically made my life.

I promise of more details to come, but I'm way too exhausted to stay up any longer.

HUH?

I am currently lounging around in East Stroudsburg, PA.
When did that happen, you ask?
Just about a week ago.
In the midst of cramming my hapless brain for exams and other such wonderful fun, I managed to sneak my way into another state.
Not exactly the truth, but I don't have time to type.
Later, internet.

CLASSWORK.

This morning held excitement in the realm of a visiting writer who was to speak to our English class. I was hopeful, merely because she prolonged the due date of a rough draft, but also because she happened to be Canadian.
And you know how "I love me some" Canadians.
She had us work on an individual assignment- a "to do" list of sorts, with either concrete or whimsical foundations. The basic absurdity of sitting in the classroom led me to what you see below.

How To Make Sense Of Somewhat (Read: Entirely) Ridiculous Course Content:

1. Breathe. You only have three more years.
2. Breathe again. You will never have to take another English course again unless so desired.
3. These people have doctorates, right?
4. Obviously, you, too, can hold your own doctorate someday.
5. “Words, words, words,” said William Shakespeare.
6. Fucking artist.
7. Management positions typically do not require the writing of research papers, right?
8. At least Stanislavski thinks you’re cool.
9. You can always make the entire experience sound okay when you edit the facts in your blog.
10. Hemming-who?
11. Prose: huh? What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Say it again, now.
12. You have never looked good in ink stains.
13. You have a minor in Business Administration. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. (Squared.) Bitches.

IT'S NO LONGER MARCH, BE-OTCH.

Seventy billion things have happened in the last month, and I, being as irresponsible as people can get, have hardly taken the time to address them with the maturity or gravity that they should obviously be subject to. For this reason, among many others, I shall attempt to recapture the last few weeks of activity in a nutshell.

Thirty-one statements for thirty-one days? I think it's a fair trade-off.

1. My time has been non-existent.
2. Brigadoon is completed to everyone's great joy and enthusiasm.
3. Conflicts have ensued in various fashions, like they do.
4. I was tapped as a pledge for Alpha Psi Omega.
5. I'm doing considerably well in Business Math.
6. My movie collection has expanded exponentially.
7. Michael and I are wonderful.
8. (And at five months to date.)
9. I wrote a paper on Celebrity Worship Syndrome, only to discover that I suffer from the disease myself.
10. I've been to Dunedin.
11. I've been to Orlando.
12. Directing shows are two days out.
13. Conservatory shows are a week and three days out.
14. I'm considerably excited about both.
15. Rachel and I should be rooming together next semester if we ever find two minutes to talk to Student Services.
16. I'll be spending the first two weeks out of school in PA, and then heading back for work at home.
17. I've discovered that I have difficulty sleeping without a sleep mask of some sort. I suppose that makes me sufficiently wimpy.
18. My room has been relatively clean for the past month.
19. I have been living by myself for the past month.
20. The combination of #18 and #19 is rather remarkable.
21. Frasier is the cutest dog alive, but is also Satan incarnate.
22. I make a kick-ass pot of Macaroni & Cheese.
23. I am continually roped into amazing Theatre Party pictures, and I'm loving every minute of it.
24. For probably the first time in my life, I forgot about April Fool's Day.
25. I love my weekends in St. Augustine.
26. After a six-hour conversation with Michael, I've concluded that I want more than anything to direct.
27. I love pie.
28. Poker Nights have been some of my favorite times this semester.
29. I finally feel as though I have a base of people who care about me and respect me for who I am.
30. I have to be up really soon.
31. And I think it's time for bed.

That should satisfy, I hope.
If not, deal with it.
