Am trying to decide whether or not to assistant production manage The Turn of the Screw. Apparently the workload isn't overwhelming except during tech week, but I'm also planning to do The Pirates of Penzance (I have a decent chance at Mabel, but I don't know who else is trying out, apart from one other person who also has a good chance at it) and possibly take five classes.
Also, am at home. It's so weird to be on my desktop computer.

I love Les Liaisons dangereuses so much. ^_______^ (Read it a little over six months ago, but reading it again for a class now.)
Show opens tomorrow! OMG.

Apparently the pornographic bits of the other day's reading were not required.
Well, now I know some words I'll never need to use.

We just read Le Colonel Chabert in my French class, so we watched the film (with Dépardieu, of course) as well, and can I just say? IT IS SO TRIGGERY. D: D:

Just discovered that the version I have of "Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)" is not actually Benny Goodman; it's a recent recording off the Swing Kids soundtrack. I am oddly disappointed by this. Ah well. Still my favorite swing piece.

8:23 pm - here is a case unprecedented, here are a King and Queen ill-starred!

I have realized that there is probably no way to make a worse first impression on me than by touching me when I don't want to be touched. This includes being a Dominionist and being stupid. I think it's because it's horrifying on a deeper level - visceral rather than intellectual.
Case in point: my roommate's boyfriend, who literally ran into my dorm and jumped on me. (It's also why I immediately defriended another guy on Facebook who I'd been talking to a bit over the summer, because he hugged me when he was here to visit my roommate.) D:
I have to try to stay out of my room this weekend. Which will be fun, since I have my paper due Monday.

3:16 pm - Update
|
Reading MSND for my English class. I've never actually read it before - seen it, aware of it by cultural osmosis, but never picked it up and read more than a page or two at a time until now - and there is so much meta. Obviously there's the Mechanicals, but the lovers, too, are constantly making meta-references. I may have an essay topic.
(Also reading Molière's Dom Juan. I love it.)
Quizbowl practices are at the same day/time as Girls' Night Out (snacks/discussion group "for girls who kiss girls, or want to"). And Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance. Boo. Everything is at the same time. This totally aside from martial arts. I don't think that will be happening.
Auditioned on Sunday for The Gondoliers; don't know yet how that went, as there are more auditions this evening. I was the second person to go, and I hope they remember me, if they liked me. I sang "Je veux vivre"; they stopped me after a point, but I asked if I could sing the rest, because it's fun, and they let me. I auditioned for Casilda and was melodramatic.
I love it here.
Edit: I forgot to mention I am playing THE REDISTRICTING GAME. OMG.

Miscellaneous:
I have so much hot sauce now. I think it's about fifteen bottles. I also have a copy of Lucien Leuwen. eeeeee. I will have to cut the pages apart, but still. Stendhal! Can anyone recommend a good brand of chai tea? I just rediscovered this article. It will NEVER STOP BEING HILARIOUS. I made a lemon tart. It is delicious. The taste is intensely familiar (and not just because I got the recipe off Hannah, who made the same tart for the school newspaper party in June), but I have no particular memories of eating anything with lemon curd as a kid. I can't remember if there was anything else I wanted to mention.

Given the headline, this has got to be the most disappointing news story I have ever read.

I've just started going to summer Quizbowl practices to keep in shape for playing at university. So! Comment to this post with random academic facts that you like or think are interesting or think I should know. :D

VOTING TIME ROUND ONE
None of the ones I nominateed made it, but some of the ones I voted for did! Some of them will get knocked out in the first round (obviously, since Matilda is against Buffy Summers and Meg Murry is against Starbuck Thrace dammit).
Anyway: vote for Leia, Uhura, Hermione, Matilda, Meg, Alanna, and M. :D

Another dream last night. This one involved Jack Aubrey and zombies and would have been awesome if it had made any logical sense whatsoever.* I don't know why I'm dreaming so much lately.
*It wasn't the zombies that didn't make sense - some of the characters were quite OOC.

More odd dreams: my mother reading my BPAL list and making fun of it. What the hell?
