Sep. 8th, 2011 02:13 pmThings I Love This Week:
*Swing Dance Class. Oh wow, yes, this is so. much. fun! I vaguely knew the basic step, but it's so excellent to be in a class setting and officially learning it all in a good way. Plus now the gentleman and I can dance swing-ingly (and we did, after class, for about half an hour till my feet gave out--next time wearing better shoes, yep--and it was super fantastic). We're such hep cats. Or something! Plus, this music--I love this music, this whole thing, I just love it. Salsa's like the slinky, shake your ass fun times, and this is the bouncing, push-and-pull, laugh the entire dance fun times. And boy do I love this.
*My intern. I have an intern! She's working with me on youth program marketing/pr and graphic design and school projects--we can finally get all the info into our database and then start cool projects. And there's all kinds of other projects to be done, and ideas that can actually happen now. We had our first training session yesterday, which was basically just a chat about ideas and showing her how to use the database; I still feel weird being "in charge" of somebody, but mostly I'm really excited to be able to work with someone on projects that will make us all better.
*SPT's new seats. They are so shiny and sophisticated and the carpet is new too and everything's looking so much swankier and less run-down and guys, I'm really excited about them. I also think it will help with donations, in that bizarre backwards way where if you look like you're on top of things, people will give you more in donations. In any case, I'm looking forward to the season opening. And comfy seats, yes please thank you.
* Exciting discussions with theater people. Particularly people with whom I will be doing lots of things. I can say no more, but... watch this space. There will be news. (I'm sorry, I'm such a troll... No shame! :))
*&etc: tea and sugar, early morning good dreams, engaging stories on the radio, orange-and-gold nail polish, free cookies in the lobby, vintage posters, gorgeous old photographs.
