Iowans: You’d better be caucusing tomorrow night! (And for DEAN!)
Mmm, why would anyone need a TV when they have a high-speed connection and cspan.org?

Woah! Coming back to my room after getting my book back from Giselle, a bunch of the guys were sitting in the lounge, as usual, but for some reason, I got a strange sense of deja-vu from Dan’s expression. Where had I seen that face before? Then it clicked. In that moment, he looked uncannily like mini-20-year-old-Dom in “Hetty Wainthrop Investigates”. If in 8 more years, goofy, cute, awkward-looking miniDom can evolve into Teh Sexxor present-Dom, then I’d better keep an eye on Dan. If he shows any indication of becoming Dom, I may have to start being Jewish, as Dan’s mother has forbidden him from even looking at cute gentiles like me. XD
Ah, Dan. The quotes board is replete with your witty quips regarding this matter.
Anyway, I told him to freeze and grabbed my camera and explained to him that I would not be living up to my fangirl status if I did not record the resemblance, but by the time I moved around for the best angle, the Dom!spark vanished and he was left looking mildly-like-miniDom-but-not-noteworthily-so. Alas. I shall be on the lookout for further hints of Dommage! What a pity! (Ha ha ha. Bilingual puns!)
Sleep now? Yes, mother.
Weather.com, what is a “Light Freezing Drizzle”? You’re even weirder and more specific than sound effects rendered in Closed Captioning! But yay, it’s no longer “too cold to snow!” It’s a bit silly when you find yourself thinking “Hey! Today’s high is 20! It’s really warming up!”
Mkay, really going to sleep now. I wonder what Giselle is doing with my copy of LotR. She asked to borrow it for a moment a few minutes ago. I hope she doesn’t get curious about my post-it notes and actually look at them. Well, most of them are fine, but the word “GAY” scrawled in huge letters across one of the tabs marking the offending Tom Bombadil song might require a bit of explanation.
Heehee! Saffron Burrows, who plays Andromache in the new Troy movie, apparently just wrapped up production on “Gray Matters,” in which she co-stars with Alan Cumming! Mmm, 6 Degrees of Separation. Of course, if life worked like that, I would wish that I were playing Helen, as she kisses Orlando Bloom, who kisses Dominic Monaghan, who has said that he would marry Billy if Billy were female. In other news, WOW LOOK A SHINY THING OVER THERE! *runs away*
Now is the time for all good fangirls to go to sleep.
*cackles* To celebrate, I’m watching Moulin Rouge. Hee, I’m so amused. I’m always too wrapped up in LotR to be able to giggle at David Wenham for portraying both Faramir and MR’s Audrey, but now, I’m giggling my head off, imagining our favourite Gondorian captain in delicious drag.
I wonder if Peter Jackson only allowed himself to cast actors who had appeared in drag in previous theatrical exploits. We have Elrond in Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, and Merry dressing as a woman in an episode of Hetty Wainthropp Investigates [EDIT: Apparently, brandyhall.net doesn’t allow direct-linking! For shame! See them for yourself here under Episode 6: Safe as Houses] (why do ALL MEN have better legs than me?), and Pippin… well, I have no idea what Billy is up to here and I’m not going to guess, but he’s wearing a wig, and he’s probably wearing a kilt, and that’s good enough for me. And Legolas doesn’t count because in LotR, he always looks like a girl.
So yeah. Um… look at baby!Elijah! Actually, he’s nine here, but he looks four. And he still looks EXACTLY THE SAME.
Erm, yeah. That’s all I have to say about that. Carry on. *politely shoos you away*
I MADE IT!!! I’M ANDROMACHE! EEEEEEEEE!!!!!! *explodes*
Edit: I just opened the other fortune cookie. It says “A good time to start something new.” Gotta love the fortune cookie industry.
Okay. I’ve been checking my email every 10-25 minutes to see if the cast list for “The Trojan Women” has been posted. Just now, so that I wouldn’t have to leave my room and could keep checking every few minutes, I ordered in Chinese. My fortune cookie? “A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains.”
Very funny, God.
Whee! Just got back from “The Trojan Women” callbacks, and I’m really excited. There are 13 girls trying out for 5 female roles, not three, and the chorus will have significant speaking roles, as well. We find out our parts this evening. Huzzah!
As for The Penn Singers, I don’t even know why they held auditions, as it turns out they never had any free spaces to begin with. Great. *sigh* Ah well. I never would have gone to the “Trojan Women” audition if I hadn’t already been in the building for the Penn Singers audition, so it all turns out for the best.
