Finals update: Three papers due within the next 36 hours. Will leave my apartment for class at 8:45am tomorrow and return at midnite, leaving only 21 hours to work in, not including sleep. But, why in heaven’s name would i include sleep? This should be ultra-fun!

Good Woman of Setzuan will be performed by the Drexel Players at the beginning of March, and the Brecht fable will be put on with song and dance despite it not quite being a musical. Good Woman Of Setzuan is a story about three gods who come to earth to find a single good person, and a overly kind prostitute who takes them in for the night and then attempts to live up to their standards. I get to sing a ballad in the rain, which might actually involve a duet with the lovely Laurel, who was cast as the lead. Life rocks.

Rather than blog for the rest of the week i’m inclined to simply offer you ventures directly into my brain for a quarter of an hour at a time, a la being jon malkovitch. There’s nothing amusing to say about what i’m living, but i think that’s only because the comedy of it is so inherent. Also, during your tour of my cranium you’re welcome to leave behind any introductory knowledge of Philosophy that you can spare.

A boy can hope, can’t he?

In an effort to aid you in understanding the twisted depths of my psyche, lemme reveal two things about myself and then give you two pieces of advice:

  • I might bitch about theatre for hours at a time, but you had better believe i do a frantic happy dance when i get cast. The dance also involves screaming. And jumping up and down like some sort of idiot. The dance is exponentially longer when i get a part that i actually want, and is usually preceded by my screaming “No Fucking Way!” at my stage manager for about a whole minute.
  • I am so dumb that i invite real people to the site before thinking about whether or not i said anything about them recently that could get me into trouble.
  • When in doubt, do audition for plays with Madonna songs played on guitar, but only if you have another song in your repertoire as a backup.
  • Decide if you’re more embarrassed using a pick-up line in person or via the internet before you post the line to your website, which renders the whole debate rather moot..

    That’s a pretty good capsule summary of the last three hours of my life. I so intended to be asleep by now, but the butterflies in my stomach are holding the sleepy part of my brain hostage under threat of vicious tickle wars.

    Life is nice to me sometimes, especially when i least expect it to be. Goodnight.
