In The Thicke Of The Night

I'm just saying,
we're right in the middle of Varsity Show and it's going insanely well. Last night and tonight the audience was applauding when the show curtain opened, and they were laughing at everything I wanted them to laugh at, and they were forgiving of all the tiny things I wish I hadn't done. They were good-looking. They didn't yell things out. They were perfect.

I'm glad to hear that my french accent isn't keeping me from being understood.

I'm glad for when I don't accidentally kick my shoe off during Havana Central, when we do a number of kicks and lifts.

I'm pretty happy with myself for giving my neck-scarf snaps in the back so I don't have to re-tie it every time.

I'm surprised I didn't scream in horror when I stepped on something sharp during Cosmic Ballet, when I was wearing nothing but a glow-in-the-dark unitard painted like Mercury, the now-smallest planet.

I LOVE HOW WELL THIS SHOW IS GOING. I WANT TO GET A RECORDING OF IT NOW AND WATCH IT. Whatever kind of person that makes me, I'm fine with it. OMG OMG HERE'S THE TRAILER I MADE WITH MIKEY!

They ended by going to a little hotel the girls knew and eating supper and drinking a beaucoup wine and champagne and having a big party. Joe had never had such a good time with a girl in his life. His girl's name was Marceline and when they woke up in the morning the help at the hotel brought them in coffee and rolls and they ate breakfast, both of 'em sitting up in bed and Joe's French began to pick up and he learned how to say C'est la guerre and On les aura and Je m'en fiche and Marceline said she'd always be his sweetie when he was in Bordeaux and called him petit lapin.

A New Blue Sweater, Just For Me

What's unfortunate is that every time someone says "NAFTA," I hear "NAMBLA."

Look What I Found!

INT: LIVING ROOM: DAY

A videotape, "ANGELS WITH FILTHY SOULS" is placed into the VCR. Kevin
watches the tape.

INTERCUT VIDEOTAPE SEQUENCE

Knock on door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, snakes. I got the stuff."
"Leave it on the doorstep and get the hell out of here."
"All right, Johnny. But where's my money?"
"What money?"
"A.C. said you had some dough for me."
"Is that a fact? How much do I owe you?"
"A.C. said 10%."
"Too bad A.C. ain't in charge no more. He'll call you when he gets out."

Kevin calls out to no one. "Guys, I'm eating junk food and watching
rubbish. You better come out and stop me."

"Hey, I tell you what I'm going to do, snakes. I'm gonna give you to the
count of ten to git your ugly no good yellow keister off my property before
I pump you full of lead."
"All right, Johnny. I'm sorry. I'm going."
"One ... two ... ten!"

Johnny guns down snakes, laughing and gloating as he watches him die. "Keep
the change you filthy animal!"
Kevin becomes frightened and yells out for his mother. "Mom!"

People Asking All The Time

I feel like we forget about french toast sometimes. I've only made it once.

Seriously, though, I forget about it almost as much as I forget about West Virginia's statehood. Which is alarmingly often.

If It Tastes Good We Eat It

last night was Passover! We took a train out to great neck and ate chopped liver, per usual. I wore my hair the way grandma bobbie asked me to. My cousins are good-looking children. My twice-removed relatives are insanely interesting. I'm exhausted.

things to do:
-email marcus
-choreograph dance by tomorrow
-read this stuff before I go to sleep, write OfCourseWorks post on it
-memorize everything for columbia club show on thursday
-doctor appointment tomorrow morning
-I REALLY LIKE "WEEKEND IN NEW ENGLAND"
-the song
-"on camp" is the most fun assigned reading I've done in a very long time. It's one huge list that talks about what makes something camp. And it keeps apostrophizing Oscar Wilde. Can you even say that?
-come up with topic for opera paper
-shower (for once)
-I always have to shower
-ay ay ay

BIG WEDNESDAY HERE I COME CHOO CHOOOOOO
