I Saw Crazy Pants!

I saw crazy pants this weekend!
Yes, that would be Lindsay. We ate a lot of bad (good) food. We had nice weather. We visited Newport, RI. This is where we first met. Her dog Gracie is so well behaved. Lindsay is still grumpy in the morning. We saw her mom's college theater production. It was good, but long!

We didn't go to the movies, but we watched Wanted. I'm not an action film fan, but it was good. I was surprised by how much I liked it. What else did we do? I don't remember. It was so crazy! But that's crazy pants for you. Oh yes, she got me to watch Better off Ted and 30 Rock. And the ride home for me was hell. But it was the first time I rode in her Jeep. And what a jeep it is.

Whose Cold Today?

Why is it still cold outside? Why is it so much colder in my office?
Why is Lindsay tired? She's cold too! Who else is cold?

I'm seeing Lindsay this weekend. I think because she loves me she's letting me pick the movie and were seeing The Informers.

Auditions wha wha WHAT!

Last night (April 6, 2009) I held the first set of auditions for my Beauty and the Beast production. I had been highly anticipating this day since the beginning of classes in January and I still can't believe it's here. I have a flurry of emotions; I was extremely happy and thrilled and yet stressed and anxious at the same time. I arrived at around 4:45 to set up and thinking I had a lot of time I didn't. About five minutes later Meghan and her mom came in. I was excited to see them. They helped me get things settled and then more kids came in followed by my crew, Heather, Rachel and Jill.

At 5:05ish I held a tiny meeting for the parents to sign the contracts and whatnot. We started the singing auditions and then the reading auditions. Some of those kids - EGADZ! They were phenomenal! Some of those girls - Lexie esp. have beyond amazing voices. And Lexie's been with us for a long time and I don't know where she was hiding! It took a long time and ended at 7:40 but the kids were allllll amazing.

Tim, who is the cutest little 3rd grader auditioned for Lefou and by george he was adorable! Jack auditioned for Gaston and was equally great. Everyone who auditioned was just wow. I don't know who is going to get any of the roles and Heather, Rachel, Jill and I have our work cut out for us in casting it!

It is going to be next to impossible casting this show. I am so not looking forward to it because of the backlash i'm going to get from those who did not get the role they wanted. OY. Why did I sign up for this again?

Favorite Sound

It's Wednesday. Tonight is the final episode of the second season of Damages. It wasn't as a great season as the first, but it picked up in the end and is still pretty damn good. I'm excited for the last episode.

It's raining in New York City. I'm sleepy. Late night last night. The rain got me thinking of my favorite sounds. My friend Bryan said he likes the sound of horns honking.

I like the sound of rain hitting against the window. Rain makes me sleepy, but also it comforts me. I like the grey skies. It's always a good excuse to be lazy. Maybe that's why I like it?
