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

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Christ, I'm older than Heath Ledger?
That was my first thought as well. Jesus.
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.
G_G, what are you rehearsing right now?
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.
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]
So sad to hear about Heath Ledger. Talented young actor who had only begun to hit his stride. Sigh.
I just heard about Heath Ledger from my designer (we were in fitting isolation all day, and he just turned the radio on). I am, like others here, weirdly floored and surprised and sad. I am not sure if it was how much I liked him in movies, how much I like Michelle Williams and feel for her and baby, how young he was, or what, but I am very sad.
Also, I have the perfume problem. I brought it up to my boss when our big boss decided she wanted to pump perfume throughout the offices as a marketing technique. I was like, um, no! This never came to fruition, but it made people aware of my sensitivity without me having to make a big deal out of something like dryer sheets, so I was lucky. There was a cleaning woman who could make me sneeze and swell up just by walking in the building, but she left before I could say anything.
