* Closing night rocked; everyone was brilliant. There were awesome acting things going on that were totally new, the energy was up--very cool way to end the run.

*And ELIZA WAS THERE OH MY GOD YAY. Just...YAY.

*Also I got to see Emily, that was nice--I walked around the lake with her and Frannie and Sadie. Yay dog.

* I am kind of tired and overheated. My syntax probably betrays that.

*Midsummer's started today. Going to be a good play--it's a good group of people. I miss acting. I am an acting whore, obviously, as I was in a play just over a month ago. Still. I want to be in another one.

*Casting is a bitch, which is why I will never be a director unless I can audition people. So therefore: not a teacher-director. I like helping, but...no.

*I have nothing else to say. I feel useless. Goodbye.

"space is closer than portland."

Dude--science is infinetely awesome. I just got back from Third Place, where the president of LiftCorps (I think that's what it's called) talked--that's the company that's making the space elevator. By which I mean, yes, an elevator into space. Rock on. I took notes because I am a geek.
--Carbon nanotubes--proven 20 times stronger than steel; ridiculously expensive but becoming more used--in future will see them for cars, buildings...
--also NASA has a plan for cleaning space debris: bubblewrap. I kid you not. They put big ol' spools of bubblewrap into space adn the debris hits the wrap, slowing down & losing energy as it passes through and pops each bubble. I think this is hilarious, but the fact that it could work is just awesome.
-Solar panels in space will be darkened only 90 days of the year--talk about uberenergy source.

This is cool. Why am I not a scientist? (Oh yeah...no patience.)
