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.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

I'm hungry and everything hurts and I think there should be ice cream delivery.

Up until a couple months ago he looked like an inevitable lock for the position. Craziness!
