Woah! Now there’s the snow the weatherman has been promising! Looking out my window at the thickly swirling flakes, I can’t help but laugh.

*blinks*

I just caught myself thinking “I can’t wait to go outside any play in it”, and then the fire alarm went off. I hate my life.

Wow. Blogger + Mozilla = teh crack. *pokes Internet Explorer with a stick*

Anyway, I hope those anti-gay conservatives are pleased. They claimed that gay marriage would be somehow detrimental to society? Well in Ohio, an amendment meant “to prevent gay marriage is being used to block the prosecution of people in unmarried heterosexual relationships who abuse their partners.”

Yeah, keep defending that sanctity of marriage, Ohioans.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Dear Priscilla —

We hope you will join the LADY IN THE DARK ensemble! You’re audition tonight was terrific — I would have told you on the spot, but Serena and I needed to compare notes on precisely what you would do in the show! (It’s that kind of show, at least the way we’re doing it.)

So… what I can tell you is that the role you play will be made up of several roles as well as a part of the ensemble in each of the dreams. Some of this is still to be worked out, and I’d be happy to tell you more about it. I’ll just say that the role is one I’m conceiving as a kind of mystery woman/alter ego to Liza. I think it will be very intriguing.

Please tell me you’ll take part… and let’s meet, so I can give you a script and CD, and tell you more about it.

Thanks again,

David and Serena

And in case you didn’t get that the first time, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Tolerance.org presents a U.S. Map of Hate Groups. In one of my cities, Racist Skinheads and Black Separatists. In the other, Neo-Nazis.

It’s been 37 years since Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. I feel as though we’ve failed him. Reading back through many of his speeches yesterday, I was moved to tears by the beauty of his vision and the truth of his words. And then I get linked to stuff like this and I think about how far we still have to go. “The arc of history is long, but it bends toward justice,” he said. Sometimes I just need to be reminded of that.

I just got back from my callback for “Lady in the Dark” and I’m just about convinced I got a role! In addition to the two leads (pre-cast), there are just two ensemble girls and six guys, and I think I’m one of them! The girls, that is! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, YAY!

They called me a “powerhouse soprano” and thought I was a senior because of my “poise.” The music director asked “So why aren’t you in the Penn Singers?”

Life is so good.
