Well, it's movement, at least.
My senior project, How to (Not) Write a Musical: Stories of an Accidental Musical Theatre Martyr (Now With Appendices!) is finished, approved, signed, and handed in. This would be a more satisfying accomplishment if I didn't still have another year to go before I can graduate. I'll be finishing college right in time for the tenth anniversary of finishing high school. (2 Promises of the morning | Say something funny) |

ME: You may be my dream girl right now. You love bacon, you have red hair, and you'll do porn. ANONYMOUS LADY WHO SANG AT BMI TONIGHT: Well, I won't do porn. A musical about porn. ME: Even better. (2 Promises of the morning | Say something funny) |

Truth in a Quote
My father and his mother only spoke to one another in Yiddish. One day, when he was in his early twenties, he and a friend were discussing how to say "disappointed" in Yiddish, and neither could figure it out. So they came up with a plan. They went over to my grandmother's house and my father said to her "Ick ken nisht kumen tzu seder" (I can't come to the seder, in his anglicized syntax). She replied, "Oy, ick bin zeyer disappointed." They never did figure it out, but I always wondered if Yiddish actually lacked a word for disappointed because disappointment is the general condition of the Ashkenazi Jew, so to use the verb "to be" would be sufficient. Years later I looked it up (antoysht) but for a long time I just figured that to say that a Jew from the Shtetl is disappointed is just redundant. - Harold Augenbraun, from here (3 Promises of the morning | Say something funny) |

SCOTT SIMON (on iPod): It is often said that war planners had projected that a land invasion of Japan could cost the lives of a million U.S. soldiers and many more Japanese. ME: Dammit, never get involve a land war in Asia! ------ Unrelated: Today I saw the two David Greenspan plays, which were awesome. Between them, I spent an hour walking through Williams-Sonoma and Chelsea Market with my mom. It's amazing that I'm straight. (1 Promise of the morning | Say something funny) |

Some Resolutions
Personal: Exercise more. Get out more. Reconnect with old friends, stay connected with current ones. Literary: Finally read that copy of Against the Day that I bought when it was released in August of 2006. Read more plays--I read only four this past year, discounting the three Shakespeares I read for class. Connected to that: read some more Shakespeare that I've never read before. Theatrical: See more stuff that's off the beaten track, or at least that's more off-center. Go to at least one new theatre space this year. Write more. (Say something funny) |

Example: Dan Lipton, "Honey"
He calls her "honey"
And it's like I never was.
Can't you tell I've been defeated?
I couldn't give her what she needed,
So she found someone who does.That may be bad grammar, but it's damn good songwriting. (Say something funny) |
