Now tagless for your comfort.

I am completely floored by the Heath Ledger news. Jeez that sucks.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yeah, he didn't seem the type for either drugs OR suicide, if it is that. As much of a surprise as Owen Wilson's near-miss.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Which some CNN dolt called a dress rehearsal for Ledger. Total ass.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Christ, I'm older than Heath Ledger?

That was my first thought as well. Jesus.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

One of my students got a text message at the end of rehearsal about Heath Ledger. It took the energy right out of what we were doing. The kids and I were really bothered by the whole thing. I kept thinking about Michelle and Matilda.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

G_G, what are you rehearsing right now?

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

15 Reasons Not to Be in A Play. It's a one act for competition next week from playscripts.com. Somehow the show has grown to include 19 sound cues, 22 lighting cues, 15 students on stage, 6 students on tech, 15 18x18 stage boxes, 5 36x18 stage boxes, an unusual assortment of props and dyed to match t-shirts and socks. If the judges don't like it...screw them.

After districts I'll be casting George Washington Slept Here for the Spring.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I did remember to call, and I do have to go to jury duty tomorrow. Greeeaaaat. At least it's not the furthest location (there are three possibles, one of which is close to home for me). But I have to be there at 8:30! Argh.

Yeah, I have to be there at 8:15 . It's kinda a bitch.

A couple thought-provoking articles/links: Is there anything wrong with looking? (not what you'd think, pervs. And its accompanying site: [link]

And a play whose origins are warm like the actions of the woman it is about, Life in a Jar: (I'd heard of it on the radio some time ago, but there was an article in the monitor today.) [link]
