goodbye, strindberg!
May. 11th, 2008 10:48 amWell, Ghost Sonata is over...last night we had a kickass last show, with a good audience. They laughed a lot, which made me really pleased, because there are funny bits in here. Then we struck, and put nearly everything into my parents' truck & a couple other cars, & all went to the OCT space to unload it all. There was really very little to do--three cheers for minimalist sets!
And then there was a party--with the space all tricked out in lights and little glowing plastic balls (I want them), & plenty of good food & drink (but no gin--they had tonic, but no gin; I was sad). We danced & talked & were silly & it was generally a good end to the run. I'm glad we ended when we did...I got to a good place with the show, satisfied myself with my work. Any longer & I would have started to get sick of it. (Plus this way I can possibly work on Earnest? Hmm, projects.)
Yesterday I spent cleaning my room, for real, doing lots of laundry, organizing the pile of stuff I keep dumping by the door, cleaning the kitchen...generally doing all the cleaning/organizational things I just haven't had time for. I like doing that. Makes me put everything in order.
Now I have a short paper to write (on Hairy Baby, which was lovely), a ridiculous amount of reading on Zen Buddhism to catch up on, &...that's about it. Hmm. Not so much to do this weekend, which I am quite happy with.
Next weekend is an R&J scene with Rosa (Andrew & I are "rehearsing" for some group of middle schoolers doing some program at SU...we get to be a preview of next year), & going to see a middle school musical that Emma (GS' milkmaid) choreographed, and the SPT auction!
And the weekend after that is Folklife. Oh, Folklife, the glory. I can practically already taste it, I want it so much. Mmmm.
