it has come to my attention that i’ve been getting into several fights with inanimate objects lately. i should really focus my attention on not letting that happen. it’s moderately embarrassing, especially when the object wins.

so we had rehearsal tonight from 4 to 10:30, during which we finished blocking the show and had a rough run-through of the entire thing. it seems to be coming together great, i can’t wait to do it with for the production team tomorrow, and [hopefully, fingers crossed] with some of the set pieces. we have this couch contraption that folds out into a bed and also somehow turns into a bar and a brick wall in central park. it’s intriguing.

frou frou has been keeping me company this evening, as from this moment on i am instating a strict no “i sing!” listening policy outside of rehearsal. i adore the show but the frequency at which i listen to it is making me angry at it. so i’ve stopped. i study my libretto for lyrics instead.

today, i’m very thankful. specifically, i am thankful for:

1. the ride home that shannon gave me and the lovely lunch date we have tomorrow.
2. jeremy, for finding the banana republic pants i was longing after and putting them aside for me.
3. the lovely chat i had with my dad this morning, it was actually totally normal.
4. john oliveira, josh smith, and kellum ledwith for the amazing hugs i got after not seeing them for an entire month!
5. one more day to enjoy before i start a new semester.

well, dears, as much as i adore each and every one of you, the time has come for me to go to sleep so i can fend off whatever illness that may or may not be creeping into my life. cross your fingers and say your prayers that i don’t get sick for this show, i’ll just die.

you’re all fabulous. remember that.
