Eunice gave me back my copy of Night Watch yesterday, which means more fanart for you guys, as I have my reference back! We spent about 15 minutes squeeing in the hallway, most likely disturbing whatever classes were going on around us. Good times. Meanwhile, today I got my "Molybdenum is the Answer!" shirt from Swussian Capitalist, and I'm officially obsessed with it. Tanja is a genius. I think I'll wear it to rehearsals tomorrow, or to the next dress day. Huzzah. Speaking of rehearsals, I'm quite pleased, because I've finally figured out why I like participating in Jesuit theatre so much more than St. Marks (no offense, Matt) theatre: the sheer per-capita ratio of Discworld fans.

It's crazy. I was rereading snippets of Night Watch when I wasn't needed onstage, and I was approached by at least three different guys, each delightedly exclaiming, "Is that Night Watch? Terry Pratchett!" Then, after rehearsals, Eugene (a fan) was talking with one of his friends while I was talking with Casper (another fan), and suddenly Eugene's friend shouted at me "You lent him Men at Arms? Why not start with the first one?". I explained, "Because I like Men at Arms more than Guards! Guards!." I must have said that a bit too loudly, because a bunch of the crew guys turned to look at me and shouted "YEAH!"

I must have been glowing with joy as I left the theatre. Wow, if I'd known that Terry Pratchett had such a huge following at Jesuit, I would have considered staging MAA this year a bit more seriously. Or at least one of Stephen Briggs' adaptations, seeing as how MAA is still in embryonic form. Anyway, life is good. Finding topics of conversation is going to suddenly be a heck of a lot easier.
