Lost on a Safari

I've lost web access on my laptop. I can still get email through apple mail, but Safari isn't working. So I haven't been able to blog for some time. However, this is what is going on in my seafaring life:

1. The Play: was surprisingly fun. Small cast, heavy drama, boring part - yes, yes, yes. But Risa rose to the occasion, as did Lindsey, and everyone was really a lot of fun to hang out with over the duration. The only things that detracted were (1) I still felt my rapproachment with Krogstad was stilted; we didn't rehearse it much, and I wasn't sure how to make it better, given my character is stiff and I wasn't supposed to hug him or anything, and (2) Anthony blaring the tarantella on Sunday night about a minute after I said "GO NOW! The tarantella!" So embarrassing, the audience noticed, and it was really a mistake worthy of a high school production. All in all, I think the actual production was OK. It was a tough play to choose and everyone involved did a good job, especially Lindsey and Pax who had incredibly difficult roles involving lots of stamina. But the experience was a laugh and definitely worth doing. OH! And I got us into the Seattle Times, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, AND the Seattle Weekly and probably the Stranger! Am I a public relations beast or am I just awesome? Suggestions in the comments please.

I have to go now. More later on this topic and others.

Things

Things That Make Me Happy:
-I don't have anything else I HAVE to do tonight, although I there's plenty of things I should do
-Rewatching the Scrubs musical is AWESOME - that music is totally crack
-The OFfice is at 8.30
-SKIING!!!! And then potluck! on sunday! Sunday will be awesome
-I'm going home tomorrow: the agenda: delicious food and lying on the couch watching movies with my parents

Things that make me squicky:
-My mom is having an important medical test tomorrow (MRA - not I, A)
-I have a feeling what I turned into my adviser today didn't make much sense
-I'm scared that things aren't coming together for the play - and who's doing the poster?
-I have sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much laundry to do. I'm taking most of it home, if I can possibly drag it onto the bus. I'll do it myself, I just want to do it at home.
-Where should I live next quarter?

Things That Make Me Go "That's Kinda Weird":
-My mom the other day: "What's 'American Idol'?" Now, it doesn't match up to the truly surreal stuff that comes out of Liz's mother, but it's fairly obtuse, given she's been relatively alive over the past five years (though admittedly buried in work).
-Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out July 21st - one week after Movie No. 5 and attending festivities. Given it sounds like the book is recently finished, does that mean we are rushing into another overlong and unprofessionally-edited Order of the Phoenix? And won't the advertising and premiere blitz for the movie somewhat overshadow what could be a huge promotional campaign for the last book? I'll await it eagerly, but still - Odd, I say. Odd. (Also, what's with the lack of cutesy games and diary entries accompaning Mzz. Rowling's latest pronouncement?)

Aaaaaaaaaaand...........

things that make me go FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK:
-Arthur A. Levine Books' Website: "Yes! We have decided to have a year-round internship proram." Arthur A. Levine Assistant Editor to me in an email: "Currently, we don't have any internship positions available." I'm still going to send them my cover letter and resume just in case but why get me HUGELY excited by a posting on the website itself only to contradict it in an email? poooooooooh I say, pooooooooh! Poo! Poo! Poo!

...Excuse me.
