pipistrellafelixI can't believe I didn't post anything here about Ragnarok performances...yowza. Long story short, they went really well, I am super proud of everyone, am really happy that we managed to pull it off, & am really glad it's over. Even though I loved it. :)
On Sunday we moved the show outside to the Quad--on Friday we learned that due to a scheduling snafu (their words), we had to be struck & gone by Sunday morning. Well, shit. So we annouced to all & sundry that we were doing an acoutstic version in the Quad on Sunday, panicked for a bit, & then opened the show that night. We did two shows Friday night (fantastic audiences both times), & then two shows Saturday night (a little quieter, but still good). Then we struck, which of course went much faster than load in.
& then Andrew, Davey, Robert, Bailey, & Andrew's work friend Michelle (who had come to the show, & is awesome) & I all went to the Elysian for happy hour. We were there for about two hours. Food, drink, post-show loopy-ness, & the best waitress ever, Billie--yeah, I totally got her name & number. This lady sat down & talked with us about planning for the zombie invasion, guys. She's that cool. Plus she let Robert stay even though he's a baby.
So--Sunday--it went super well. It was a very different vibe, but it was still rockin' out, on the steps of the Quad, the actors going totally over the top & the audience loving it. Man, those kids are just so rad.
Catching up on all this stuff is weird...I feel like I am pulling away from the day-to-day blather I used to do. Maybe a phase. Who knows.
Anyway--I have FOUR THINGS LEFT to do before I graduate. Count 'em:
1) Revise my history paper (+ double-check citations at the UW): due Wednesday.
2) Take-home final in Shakespeare: due Wednesday.
3) Turn in the bibliography & receipts from honors project: tomorrow.
4) Paper on Titus Andronicus, agh: due Friday.
The latter is what I am currently procrastinating from....it's interesting stuff, but I feel very blathery about it, & very resistant to writing anything for school anymore, even something about Shakespeare for Billy T. Ah well. I am writing it single-spaced so I can feel more productive when I double-space it.
Also, I am currently obsessed with glasses half full of lemonade and half full of iced tea. This is the best combination ever. EVER. Because it is really hot outside. Really.
Plus I graduate in, uh, eleven days. Did I mention that? Um...anyone hiring? :)

Date: 2009-06-04 06:26 am (UTC)2) try making all the periods in your paper one or two font sizes bigger than the type. it's completely foolproof and adds a page or two. I did it with my thesis when I wrote it the night before it was due. Put me from 11 pgs to 15!!!
3) I wrote a paper on Titus last fall, and it was so fun... if you need any help/resources let me know.
4) I FUCKING MISS YOU.

Date: 2009-06-04 06:32 am (UTC)1) I am ALSO VERY UPSET but at least there will be recordings & stuff, so that's something.
2) HA! I might! I think I might be okay, & anyway I don't really care if it's 8 pages instead of 10.
3) It's due so soon I don't think I'll have time but if you ever want to talk shop re: titus, I am in, it is an awesome play & very very underrated
4) I MISS YOU SO SO MUCH IT'S SO DUMB. when do i get to see you?

Date: 2009-06-07 06:22 am (UTC)Definitely feeling the same way about day-to-day blather on my LJ, though it's been developing/increasing for about the last two years. Am often just too busy to post regularly, or don't consider stuff to be sufficiently interesting to post anymore, especially at a week or two between posts. Ended up being nice having such a detailed record of college, though...
Anyways, good luck on your last week of college!
P.s. Also a fan of the Elysian

Date: 2009-06-08 07:01 am (UTC)Yeah…during college, I found that the amount I posted/frequency of posting was approximately inversely proportional to how much I was doing...
