Yeah, I watch trash.

Worst. Survivor move. Ever.

"Let's think about this for a moment. I am a strong and obvious physical threat. I am the only guy left in a tribe of girls who like the idea of an all-girl alliance. I've won immunity three or four times in a row. I've backstabbed everyone left in the game and they know about it, so they all hate me now. Clearly the logical course of action is to give up my immunity necklace."

Yah WOOT!

Opening night is finis! It went really well, technical hiccups notwithstanding (mostly champagne glass-related). Got to talk with Loyal afterward. :)

First Act: I was playing Uno backstage. I'm sure it went well, though.

Tom: I never really felt solid on the Tom scenes, but T said they were particularly good tonight, so I can't complain.

Tim Timko: Playing a loud-mouthed sleazebag can be quite fun. Ah, who am I kidding? It is fun by definition. Bonus points for running around shirtless.

Third Doctor: Well enough.

Tom Jr: The acting felt good, but I still hate my costume no matter how fashionable people say it is. At the end of the scene my pants were actually in danger of falling off!

Cabaret steals our Saturday (grrr), so tomorrow is our second and last performance. So sad...

...or maybe they are.

Long period today was AP Stats. We spent the whole class watching 10 Things I Hate About You.

Also, we've managed to trim the show to three hours flat. Which still makes it the longest in my career.

The beginning of the end

My last show in high school opens in 44 hours. This show as a whole is HUGE. We're talking Peter Jackson-length if we don't get those transitions streamlined. Cast is the largest non-musical cast I can remember, and the costume changes are insane. It's fun, though. It's powerful. It's why I act. Ratched has come so far in recent shows; it's really amazing. And we have definite rising talent for the years to come.

Better conserve my energy. Classes aren't over yet...

This eye shadow is not just makeup

15 hours. That's how long I was in rehearsal today. New record. This is not a complaint per se; I like the all-day rehearsals, but tomorrow I have my Stats AP exam. An exam that will last four hours, will not affect my class grade, will not register on college applications, will not give me any college credit no matter how well I do, and will cut two hours out of rehearsal when I feel my scenes are really weak. And now I'm short on sleep for the test.

Will someone hurry up and perfect cloning technology?

Staving off senioritis

Well, that wraps up my six-page History of Justice essay and yet another draft of my mini-scene for Dramatic Writing. Hopefully the first half is more realistic this time.

Shakespeare stuff

Just got my monologue assignment from the Shakespeare God. I'll be working on Edmund's "Thou, nature, art my goddess." Fun times. After seeing Sexmeister's performance I'll really want to do this monologue justice.

Later this weekend I play host to one of the boarders.
