Thanks! Yeah, we sat on the tarmac for more than an hour and got a double de-icing before we took off. It was snowing hard. Finally in the air and able to use my wifi again.

Onion cheddar cheese. OMG. Nom nom nom. I'd better buy the rest my store has, I bet no one else around here appreciates it.

My little cousin's play was a 45 minute version of The Jungle Book. The director of the local theater really goes back and forth on timing -- apparently the show we didn't go to last year was like 3 hours long! So that was fun enough, and then my mother took me out to dinner.

I tend to think shorter is better when it comes to children's theater, but it suddenly occurs to me that perhaps this wasn't children's theater, just theater with child actors in it.

Oh, this was fully children's theater.

When I was in high school, I helped out with the little kids' shows at the youth theatre group I was in, and I can't imagine keeping little kids on track for a three-hour show.

I just saw someone invoke Jonathan Pollard in an attempt to show that the US was right in not taking in Jewish refugees during WWII, because Jews are, in fact, dangerous.

Apparently it was a cast of thousands rotating in and out. In this case, it was a cast of 9 playing a million parts, so there was a lot of pausing for costume changes.

What's hilarious is, my little cousin LOVES it, and has zero stage presence and doesn't seem to be enjoying herself on stage at all.

Oh, thank god, Vitter didn't win the Louisiana governor's race.

Wait, the DIAPER guy was a threat?? Dear lord.

In separate news, I am being driven utterly insane by the smoke alarms in my house. AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

A friend is on his way and I am praying he will be able to stop the madness.
