The BQE doesn't really mean express
Another full weekend. I'm currently waited for all 50 pages of my thesis journal to print out before I head home. A relatively early night....2 am.
Victor/Victoria goes well, though I'm sure I'll have a panic attack at some point. Three fabulous friends and a scant few volunteers at the theatre have agreed to take on a huge portion of the alternations. The fittings went very smoothly this weekend. Only one costume needs to be completely redone (and by that I mean I'm pulling another option). Two major alternations and the rest is finishing edges and hems on garments I made. I've fit all of the principals and a few of the ensemble. The six dancers are next Tuesday and Wednesday. After the principals, these six are y biggest challenge and they wear a bulk of the clothes. This is also where the cross dressing comes into play, outside of Victoria.
To make life easier and instead of attempting to schlep more than I could carry on the train, I drove into Park Slope. Not a bad drive actually. The New Jersey turnpike and I have come to an understanding. The worst of it was when four lanes on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway were funneled into one over the course of 1000 feet. I realized it tends to be the residential driving that gets to me. Such as after parallel parking and leaving my car for six hours I return to find someone in front of and behind has pulled right up to my bumper. It made me long for better power steering.
The NJ Turnpike and I may be on good terms. However, mapquest and I are no longer speaking. I'm sticking with tried and true paper maps and Google from now on...

I hear you on the evilness of mapquest. It always gives the strangest directions. Good luck on Victor/Victoria
I read somewhere they're upping the toll to NYC to $8...that's like theme park prices. If they put it up any higher, they're going to have to install a log flume.
