Mattster

During rehearsal this afternoon Matt Yale decided to utilize the water bottle refill station as a water fountain. You look like a hamster, dude. It's a good thing. Jason has been sleeping since he got back...apparently there was a LOT of snoring at the retreat and he was unable to sleep well there, so he slept, went to work last night, then slept again today before we got the girls back (to their reluctance) from the ranch. Oh yeah...that must mean tomorrow's Monday...which means I had some homework piled up for me. Only about a month now until finals...gulp! (Hey, look, my blog entry came full circle!)

Magic and Whimsy

I got up early(ish) this morning, got purdy, then drove to Westport Coffeehouse to spend the day doing and watching improv with the College Improv Tournament! Apparently I need to get glasses to match the rest of my buddies... At any rate, we didn't place or anything but we had a lot of fun (and we got a lot of complements, particularly on one scene involving Matt protesting in a Pottery Barn and me poking at him with a broom to get him to leave the store while Zak played my manager). The winners ended up being a pretty local troupe called Zoiks! So stinkin' happy about that. A few of them are friends of mine and they really brought it! Snaps to Girlprov as well for putting up a great fight and hanging in there for a loooooooooong day. Next year hopefully we will be able to spring Joey from work and get more people involved before the deadline to sign up. No worries, though, we were a mighty trio of whirlwind energy and fun and the entire evening turned out exactly the way I had hoped it would, even exceeding my best estimates.

Forgive me, dear reader, I forgot to take a picture today. (Le gasp.) Sorry about that. My day was fabulous, though. It was beautiful and sunny out and I got to spend some one on one time with Jason before he took off for the church's men's retreat this weekend. When the girls got done with school I drove them down to meet Sheila halfway so they could go ride horses and spend some quality time with Grandma. I had a lovely evening doing a little shopping by myself and then going to Hilary's and watching Harry Potter. Very chill and just what I needed.

Prepare Ye!

I had an improv practice this afternoon to prepare for the College Improv Tournament this weekend. We had a blast and I can't wait to play! After we dispersed I went to the theater department to look for one of the teachers who had called me while I was busy and wandered in to find her working at the rehearsals for Godspell. I sat in on some of the rehearsal and wow, it's going to be a great production! I act with a lot of the cast in my classes, but there are some of them that can sing like wow! I never would have known. This is obviously not a dress rehearsal and not all of the set is built, but I was pretty impressed with it nonetheless. Looking forward to seeing it for realsies!

...........................Right. So now that you're done staring and/or guffawing, that's my friend Tony. I was in the theater department today, hanging out between classes when a costuming department lady came out and said, "Hey, Tony, I have a dress for you." Yes, Tony is in a play. Even in context that sentence is highly amusing. In fact, with the full context (it was spoken by a middle aged woman who was dressed quite conservatively and sporting a mom haircut, and spoken like she did this every day. I'd say maybe she does, but our costuming department has no need to be that extensive, so unless she works elsewhere as well, I dunno what to tell you.) makes it even more so. Either way, he is WEARING that dress, and much better than I could, let me tell you!

This picture=not the least bit passive aggressive.

So I totally voted today. Did you? There's no excuse not to if you are eligible. Even people like me who get bored and distracted easily can find a way to make it fun. For instance: by the time I got to the judges and didn't know who everyone was, I decided to give a write-in vote to Sponge Bob. True story.

Utter Misplacement
