We're Always Proving Who We Are...

It may seem like an odd time to bring it up, but since I'm writing about it right now, I'd like to acknowledge the courage and inspiration of the crew of the USS Challenger, killed January 28, 1986 73 seconds after liftoff. My grandmother was a finalist to be the elementary school teacher aboard the final flight of Challenger. I don't have much to say, but I felt like it needed to be mentioned.

*Sulks*

Oberon won't let me upload the BRAND NEW SHINY costume sketches that I have. They are so pretty! I did little glee dances all the way home and now I can't share them. Poot.

In other news...

There is no other news. I am newsless. Well, my brother is having his wisdom teeth out on Friday, but they know from my experiences what to do and what not to do, so that'll probably go pretty smoothly, for a surgery. My baby brother's first time under general anaesthesia...Awwwww...

Have now completed a fifteen-page study guide for Fourth and Fifth graders on Midsummer.

Am going to try the sleeping thing again.

AAAAAAAHHHHHH!

Thank goodness Geoff reminded me that I have a meeting tomorrow about study guides with Morlie and Lori or I would have ended up really embarrassed. On the other hand, now I have to put together some kickass materials for tomorrow's meeting.

Also, I now have an outline of my conference presentation, so now I need to flesh it out with my own notes and what have you.

Okay. I turned off the lights at 1am. I think I fell asleep around 4, which is still four hours earlier than Saturday night. I woke up at 10:42, 11:30, and 3:40. Same deal tonight, I AM going to reset my sleep schedule to something closer to the norm before the conference. I have to. Got up and went marketing, I now have many beverages and lots of fruit. I spent about twice as much on produce as I did on entrees and beverages...*sigh* I have a BBQ beef sandwich to nibble on all evening. I took my shower. The goal for tonight is to get Theseus done, and Hippolyta if I can swing it. I also want to put together a recommended movies and maybe books list. I meet with Geoff tomorrow for acts II and III. My plan is to talk conference presentation. I want to get all the cuts and punctuation set by conference and at least the first couple acts marked up with links and pictures and stuff. Less than two weeks, guys...I want to knock their socks off.

Well done, me. Managed to get through punctuating Act III in under four hours, which makes me readyish for my meeting on Tuesday. I do want to get some of my other notes done as well, though. *Swearing* Two weeks from now, I'll be back in Washington after the conference. Aiiieee. I think I shall reward my good work with wacky fun tv. Maybe Twitch City. Or Due South. Or Slings & Arrows. Or Nero Wolfe...

Another day, another meeting with Geoff. Went fairly well, we added some more cuts and set up another meeting for next week. I also got some possible poster graphics to play with...

My two Weird Al CDs (Weird Al Yankovic and Weird Al in 3-D) and Jersey Boys showed up today. I really like Jersey Boys, but I think that has a lot to do with the fact that I liked the music before and very little to do with the actual show. Which is why I still think Drowsy Chaperone should have won the Tony.

Before you ask, no, I'm neither eating nor sleeping well. Oops.

::edit::

It's weird that at the moment the Four Seasons' "Who Loves You" makes me a little teary.

Midsummer icons, Act I scene ii.



Yours for the ganking, comment and credit, s'il-vous plait...

And she returns, as from a voyage rich with merchandise!

Meeting with Geoff went very well, he's pleased with the glossary and now I have new assignments. Went to the library and picked up 1950's lesbian pulp fiction for fun reading. It's about 90 here so I'm holding off the mouse feeding run until it cools off a bit, maybe 7 or 8 tonight.

OMG SQUEE! OIS hath writ me a brand new and snazzy wiki extension to do what I want and it works and and and and...SQUEE!!!

(Never thought I'd say this) *loves on OIS*
