9.2 just called me into the room because he recognized the opening of Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell playing in the background of one of his TV shows.

I just started attempting to learn the music for my audition on Sunday. It SUUUUUCCCCKKKKKSSSSS. It's in 6/8, it's FAST, it's got differing numbers of rests between phrases each time, and it's Sondheim, so the accompaniment in no way matches up with the vocal line.
I have work to do before Sunday.

Some shows go off without a hitch.
Other shows have the light board up and die 7 days before opening.
And some shows have an amazing lighting designer who owns his own board, brings it in and saves the day.
This is one of those shows.

That feeling when you're in an experimental theatre production and you've been beheaded, so you take your head and go sit in the corner.
I've had so much fun directing this show.

Chaos Mode by Piers Anthony got me into fantasy novels in sixth grade.
Salem's Lot got me into horror the same year.
Ultimate Spider-Man got me back into comics, which resulted in me working at Marvel for four years.

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

The librarian at my school has been getting the faculty to read the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. I'm about 40 pages away from finishing the first one, and he was right about it. It's super fun. I already have the second one on my nighttable.

Just found a hole in the crotch of my jeans and I can't get home to change until after work. So...that's cool.

I picked up Kung Pain Brussels sprouts at Trader Joe's today on the recommendation of another shopper who said they were amazing. I am oddly excited about this.

I take my kids to a ton of theatre.
I am going to see Spring Awakening tonight.
I will not be taking the kids.

I can't get over how pretty the set for the show I'm directing is.
We took the set from last year's musical, added a few elements, and gave the whole thing a facelift.

I showed the 1981 Clash of the Titans to the nine-year-olds yesterday. I hadn't seen it for about 30 years. I am pleased to report that although it was a little slower than I remembered, Harry Hamlin was still ridiculously good looking and Bubo was still my favorite.

Extremely niche audience post for '90s desktop computer gamers:
After playing live-action Survivor from Return to Zork with the boys last night, we watched the final Survivor game versus Morpheus from the walkthrough of Return to Zork available on YouTube.

I spent as much money on new orthopedic house shoes as I did on Korean Hot Pot for 4 people this weekend. But the house shoes last for 5 years, and the Hot Pot lasted one night...plus a lot of reflux the next day.

I went to work as "girl who bought a dress at Spirit Halloween" but I will be going trick-or-treating as "girl who bought a dress at Spirit Halloween but it got too cold so she changed into sweatpants."

My second block class picked independent reading books. Among their choices:
INVINCIBLE, vol. 1
DEATH & OTHER UNKNOWN RISKS
HAWKGIRL: ONCE UPON A GALAXY
MILES MORALES (prose novel by Jason Reynolds)
This post could also be titled "What happens when half my comics collection lives in my classroom."

I think I may officially be "that weird teacher." I am currently subbing, proctoring a French exam while sitting at the teacher's desk, sewing hooks and eyes onto two full grocery bags of skirts.

Using my copious free time (sarcasm) before going into the city to see a play my former student wrote that is being performed at a big university to make vegan butter chicken. Let's see how this turns out...(the butter chicken, not the play--I'm sure the play will be great).
