bamboo sticks, barometers, and ballets

my roommate (a.k.a. megan, a.k.a. churro) informed me quite indignantly that i had not updated in a week. so...a few brief snapshots of my life as of late:

1.) orchesis ended well. the injuries were minimal (one head bashed against a locker door, and the "girl we can't identify getting whacked in the leg with a bamboo stick during the lion king dance and then bleeding across the stage" incident) and set strike didn't take very long. though the pit did break in the middle of it. at least it had the decency to wait until after we'd gotten the little theatre risers and jazz band platforms up onto stage.

2.) actual conversation with the suitemate on the way to dinner. she was irritated because we had to walk across campus.

rachel: "It's soooo cold."
laura: "It's not that bad."
rachel: "You and your stupid barometer."
laura: "Rach...a barometer measures air pressure."
rachel: *growl* (insert indignant scarf flip) *stomp*stomp*stomp*

3.) i've started job hunting. it is not fun. i've officially sent my resume to the pittsburgh ballet. i haven't heard from the woman yet, but i'm consoling myself with the fact that it is the middle of the nutcracker and she's probably a little busy. yesterday's attempts with the DC jobs i'm looking at resulted in an angry-frustrated-violent-swearing-crying spell. the whole thing makes me want to become a professional homeless person in santa cruz. a phone call to my father made things much better, though. i love my daddy.

4.) life lesson of the week: when you throw your keys across the room in a violent rage, it is helpful to remember that later when you can't find your keys.

5.) i'm going to cleveland tomorrow to see various assorted sandhams in peter pan. i'm looking forward to it. yet another caitlin/brian/rainey/trey/laura road trip to ohio. it will be interesting to see the very blonde lindsay play an indian.

6.) brendan has decided he wants to write a sequel to peter pan. i have been laughing about it for three days. this is because, in brendan's version, smee becomes a good guy and learns to fly. he also has a fairy, but instead tinkerbell played by a little light and chimes, smee has tunkerbutt, who is played by a large spotlight and a gong. for some reason this absolutely cracks me up everytime i think of it. i think it's because "tunkerbutt" is just a funny word.

7.) current favorite thing: arrested development. i adore this television show. caitlin and i are a little obsessed. we watched 22 episodes of it from 3pm on tuesday to 10pm wednesday. we're watching season two tonight. i highly doubt we'll be going to bed.

and i just realized that i have 15 minutes to get to pew. damn. i am running the light board for the jazz concert. HA! i don't think joe quite realizes what a silly decision that was.
