Slow week of work and sleep
I can't say much is going back in New Jersey yet. Classes don't won't start for another week yet..we are only here early to work on the production that opens a week after the second semester begins. In a way these two weeks make us feel like every other 9-5 employee out there. No homework to dread in the evenings.
Despite the free time, I can barley shag the feelings of depression and loneliness when I head home in he evenings. Break was too short; I didn't manage to visit everyone I wanted, let alone actual see everyone I was hoping to. Though it was pretty impressive that so many of the Pointers managed to get together for those two days.
In the evenings I have David's homework to work on. Candide, the musical constructed and designed out of trash and found objects. I must say I have a pretty impressive list of garbage I plan on using for these costumes, but I would love an extra idea or too. Got a trash idea, please send it my way. Also, I've got a book to curl up with every night. Currently it is Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger. A bit predictable and formulaic, but a good read nonetheless. This book and her other, the Devil Wears Prada, is Ellen's attempt to introduce me to the fashion and socialite circles. Apparently it is unbearable for her to imagine a costume designer up on her haute couture. To quote Ret Butler: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. I prefer Shakespeare and Chekhov for a reason. Besides, even in modern shows (not TV and Hollywood mind you) do you run into a designer wardrobe. Anyway, it's thrilling to be able to get a little bit of personal reading done before I have to dive back into the world of the script.
Tonight I will be seeing Casanova, bringing the total number of films I have yet to critique up to four. If I wait any longer, I probably won't be able to give Producers, Memoirs, and Narnia their due. I still have time. Maybe I'll manage a review or two before I leave tonight.

Can't wait to hear your review of (laughter) Casanova. If you're feeling down (laughter) just think of (laughter) Heath Ledger (laughter) saying to himself (laughter) "that was such a challlenging and complicated role in Brokeback mountain. I feel so fullfilled by it as an actor, but personally I'm so confused and frustrated - I guess I'll play Cassanova!" (OUTRAGEOUS LAUGHTER) HOOT! It's like the time James Dean kissed Paul Newman and he immediately had to play Brick in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof after! (LAUGHTER) ....except that doesn't work for the movie of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. oooh (disapointment).
