It's not 12:00

Is it?  Shit.  It is.  Damnit.

100 for today for hiring Lou as director and Scarlett as designer (with, of course, Chelsea as my SM).

Okay, so I'm going to start outlining that whole budgety thing.

Talked to Lou briefly, and a director is a good idea.  Said he'd get back to me as to who he recommends.  Also will look to Cleo for guidance with the dance part.  SO yeah.   Director will probably be a good portion of my budget.  I seem to remember that artist-paying is something we can get more money for, since that can take more time.

In terms of money that I spend sooner, my guess is most of that will be toward various accoutrements for music.  Certainly a sustain pedal, perhaps other pedals.  Microphones, should I choose to use other instruments.  Perhaps looping technology.  Stuff of that sort.  I may try to find someone to look to for music guidance, as well.  I dunno.

Jesus

Got home really late last night because I had to wait around while Cleo appeased a spastic parent.

Quick proposal-shaped thing:

For my senior showcase, I am looking to artistically interpret one of Shakespeare's sonnets.  These interpretations will be in all forms I know how to do, including acting, music, and dance.  I plan on hiring a director.  Chelsea will be my stage manager.  Beyond this, I do not believe I will need any other assistance.

ANd now off to school!   Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-!

Accomplishment and not

Okay, so I guess 100 for today.  Everyone except for me, Glenn, and Mike were either testing or at the PSA thingy, so there really wasn't too much to do.  But I didn't break anything, and I didn't get into trouble.  SO yes.

And I did not read tonight, although I have good reasons.
One, I had choir tonight.  First rehearsal ever with the orchestra!  It was REALLY COOL!
Second, I have literally spent all of the rest of my time this afternoon/evening/night transposing the fucking Star-Spangled Banner, since they can't seem to find anyone who can get to a fucking F.  And they insist on not letting us use one of our own, since I know Casey, Chelsea, and Scarlett could all do it.  SO yeah.  Going from B-flat to G has been rough, but I needed to do it, so I did that instead of reading.  Sorry.

Fresh sheets are nice

100 for today.  Did the translation and examples for the scansion.  Did the page of syllables.  Helped other people with their elisions and such.  And such and such and such.

Aaaand of course the refresher course in scansion slowed me down a bit for Hamlet.  But I got through the ghost scene.  I'm definitely rereading that again tomorrow.  That damnable monologue is tough.  And, ya know, massive.  My guess is I'll be back in full swing with Shakespeare by Thursday.  Any bets?

Maybe this is why I can't sleep

Almost forgot to do the writing part :P
100 for today.  Brought in my webcam to try vid-chat, though we did end up using Casey's laptop.  Wrote down everything we need to do this quarter.  Discussed with other juniors about the showcase.  Promptly shat my pants.

Okay, so return to Hamlet.  Really, return to Shakespeare.  It'll probably take me a few nights to get back into the swing of the language.  Just need to remind myself how it feels
So, refresher on setting for Hamlet: Hamlet Sr. is dead, Fortinbras is also dead, so lots of political tension.  Gertrude and Claudius are now married, very shortly after King Hamlet's death.  Hamlet is unhappy.  Marcellus, Bernardo, Francisco, and Horatio see the ghost of King Hamlet, freak out, and resolve to go tell Hamlet.  Ophelia and Hamlet have a sort of a thing, and Laertes disapproves.  Laertes plans on going to France.  And so on.

Ah, Bill.  How I have missed thee.

What? N3RD is over???

So, I suppose I'd better do this, if not to have an effect on my grade, then to get back in the habit.

100 for today for beginning the arduous trek of a post-mortem.  And for teaching the newbies what one is.

So I had Philo today.  It was nice to be back knowing that I will be at all rehearsals until the performance.  I've established that I don't really enjoy *singing* Arvo Part, but I like the music enough to suffer through it for the final product.  Faure is a tad difficult.  Fosse is just odd.  I think I like the Faure the best.  But what can you do.  Aladren, I hope you're well enough to come see my concert.  But by no means strain yourself to come.  That would be worse than not coming.  I don't think it's polite to give birth at concerts.

Here's hoping you've still got some semblance of a sense of humor.
