Major joyness happening on the Very Secret Project front. That’s all I have to say. For the curious, current estimates for Project Unveiling suggest late November.
On a completely unrelated note, my new blog layout is nearly finished. Jolly good.
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.
More squeeage! I only have two midterm exams this year, and they’re both in the afternoon. One is December 18th, the other December 19th. Because they’re in the afternoon, I think I’ll be able to go to the LOTR midnight showing! Huzzah! Time to start pleading with mum.
EDIT: I’m the only one of my friends able to go to the midnight showing, so I’m electing not to. Thursday afternoon, probably.
What the… How in sweet gravy did that happen?

Gravy. Just when I think my blog is working again, I get whitescreens. Your-Site and Blogger are both getting deathglares. Grrr. I’ve fixed my ordinary FTP woes, but Blogger remains fiendish.
Daily Sketch updated with Night Watch fodder. Itty-bitty spoiler for character description.
::wipes away a happy-tear:: I’m so proud of my wibble Moni and Alicey. Growin’ up and drawing Discworld fanart and saving China…
Priscilla does a bit of shooting with a disposeable camera. Conclusion: thumbs are photogenic.
