Hey all. Look, there's a Lia. A Lia who has been trying to post this for several days. YAY for another LJ blackout. Must find an icon.

In two days, I will be damn near as free as a bird as I can be. My schedule and my entire life for that matter has decided to give me the proverbial middle finger these past couple of weeks. I've been working insane hours at Starbucks and it's made me damn near collapse.

Like today. I get to work the joyous hour of 3:30-11:45pm tonight. See me (not) dance for joy.

After wednesday, I'm down to working one day a week at Starbucks. It's most likely going to be that insane shift, but oh well. It's ONE day. Not teaching nearly every day, having my private students at 5:30 on mondays AND trying to get about 20 hours a week at Starbucks. I think I'm sick again, actually. Once more -- joy.

However, there have been some up points. I spent a few hours at the Federal Courthouse with Judge Baxter (who I know from the Playhouse) and did a dance of joy. I loved it there. So now, to finish the damn thesis, as in, write in the edits and finally send it off.

Titanic at the EP has been amazing. The new music director is... well... leaves a LOT to be desired. And that's all I'll say about that. Two more weeks of that... and huzzah for a short run. Damn the orchestra plays a lot during it.

If I've missed anything MAJOR these past couple of weeks, don't be shy and tell me about it. I haven't had time to actually read anything here which I'm really sad about. But like I said, after Wednesday I have my nights to myself again.

PS- don't forget to vote today!!! *hopes to god Santorum gets his ass kicked*

Random question: How would you like a visitor for new years? *innocent face*

AMS was interesting this year. I saw a lot of Strasser and he was SUPER happy to see me and really nice. I did get to see two different musicological fights though, and both involved Michael Marissen (Bach scholar). The first was between Marissen and Taruskin, and the second had Marissen and Daniel Melamed teaming up against a relative unknown who basically presented an entire paper on how she thought everything they've done is wrong. It was fantastic.

ZOMG. I would absolutely LOVE a visitor for New Year's. (btw- have I mentioned lately just how much I miss you? Because I do. A LOT.)

I'm glad AMS was interesting at least. I'm still looking forward to telling Strasser I'm going into Law. Yeah, haven't really done that yet. I'm also SO jealous you got to see two musicological fights. ESPECIALLY Marissen vs Taruskin.

The other though... wow. I just would have liked to have seen that one.

Did anyone win or was it a draw? *g* TKO by the Stitt biography in the third round.

Lia also thinks she needs sleep...

"If I've missed anything MAJOR these past couple of weeks, don't be shy and tell me about it. I haven't had time to actually read anything here which I'm really sad about."

Well, my play and I got accidentally screwed by The Hampstead Theatre and the Directori's sense of Oxbridge indignation.

In other news, I thought of you a lot Sunday as I went to usher at my local theatre. They were doing a show called Musical of Musicals: The Musical. They take one plot (young woman can't pay rent) and run it through the musical stylings of Rodgers & Hammerstein ("Oh, the corn!"), Kander & Ebb, Webber ("Now the audience applaudes... the smoke machine!"), Jerry Herman, and, of course, Sondheim.

The Sondheim one was the best by far. A handful of dark and complicated New Yorkers welcome you to their complex, The Woods. The mean landlord is planning on killing everyone for ruining his artistic vision, which he expresses in his apartment color scheme ("Red red red red red red blue blue blue red blue red blue red...").

I felt like there should be a sign out front saying "You must be this geeky to enjoy this show."

Holy cow! It lives!! And here I was just about to send you a "just checking to make sure you've not fallen off the edge of the earth or checked yourself into an insane asylum" email. :P

Seriously, glad to hear you've finally cut your work hours back a bit. I hope it helps. It sounds as though you're still entirely too swamped for a single human being, though! Hang in there!

*curses those who are trying to screw you and your play*

And yes, I have heard of the Musical of Musicals: The Musical, I simply have not had a chance to listen to it. Damn... now I really need to.

Because... i'm THAT much of a geek. :D

I KNOW!

I actually, on Tuesday night, when I got home from working closing shift at Starbucks, got online ONLY to see if the man lost.

And did a VERY tired dance of joy.

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

I was expecting one from you sooner or later. *hides*

I'm glad the hours are cutting back too. It was just... TOO insane.
