Need. Vacation.

I could burn the director's copy of Starmites and feel no remorse. ...well, maybe a little remorse, but it would be so small that you'd have to squint to see it.

Two months of rehearsal on this play and pretty much all of my "chorus" has ended up singing in unison. At least they're singing in unison on the melody. Small mercies. The boys are doing better than the girls, I have to admit. And they're singing in falsetto pretty much all of the show.

My day is out of wack because of the rehearsal schedule. We start about five or six and go until ten-thirty which means when I get out I'm wide awake and don't go to bed until two or three in the morning. Thank goodness it's summer and I can sleep as late as I want.

I'm growing used to my new hair color. I'm not sure if it's the most flattering color I could have but it's what I've got so I'll deal. I've managed to cut out caffeine since last week, but a steady diet of McDonalds every night before rehearsal is not helping my figure any.

Watching A Chorus Line right now. Interesting. I've seen it on sale multiple times in Borders. I've looked at it for years and never seen or heard it. But the music's pretty interesting so far. Michael Douglas' character seems to be a typical artistic jerk director with a worldly air.

I'm trying to read Jhereg by Steven Brust for the third or fourth time. It's not bad, I like his writing in the story, I just can't seem to get into it yet. But I couldn't really get into the first Dresden novel and I ended up devouring the next ten or so. I tried a Katherine Kerr novel called Daggerspell but I don't really like the whole reincarnation cycle. Too much baggage comes with multiple lives. Stupid star-crossed lovers. Plus, all the parents in the book seem so hard. I come from a very loving family, but I understand that not all families are like that. But when the entire culture seems that way? Uh, no.

I bought two new shirts at Lane Bryant for an absurd price. But I actually don't regret it much because they're very nice shirts. It stinks that if I want anything really nice I have to pay that much for it. I understand maybe $30 for a shirt, but $60?? Honestly. It's criminal.

Ooh! Finished Avatar the Last Airbender finally. Great show. I don't care if it's for younger kids, humor spans all ages and it's full of it. :)
