i declare today a success.
work was nothing special, although i had a delicious dirty chai this morning courtesy of the dunn bros. upstairs. it basically made my morning.
followed that up with some excellent lunchtime cardio at the y.
after lunch, inspired by something i stumbled upon while reading cnn.com and some other ideas that came to me during my workout, i wrote a rough-but-detailed outline of our wedding ceremony. truth. reading through it made me cry and grin like a goober, so i figure that's a good sign. i realize we haven't even picked a date yet, but if i happen to have a lot of the work done ridiculously ahead of schedule the better. at least i think so.
and! neil patrick harris joined twitter like yesterday. discovering this was the greatest thing that happened to me today. you think i'm kidding- i'm not.
after work was the first rehearsal for eurydice. i'm excited to be working with such an excellent group. i've pretty much retired from theatre, unless it's with prospero theatre company (website coming soon). here's why:
1) hello, working with buddies.
2) rehearsals and performances are in st. paul (at least so far), where i live, as opposed to dirty minneapolis which, when you don't drive, is much less convenient than you might think.
3) it's easy to bum rides home after rehearsal because almost everyone else lives in st. paul too. not the case when i've worked with other local theatre companies. everything happens in mipples because everyone lives there, either in northeast or uptown. hipsters.
4) kate, unlike other directors i've worked with, understands that we all have day jobs (herself included) and would like to get a reasonable amount of sleep, so rehearsals aren't every weeknight until 11pm plus saturdays. thank god. in the past i find myself resenting the whole process because all i want to do is take an effing nap.
anyway. the show is going to be excellent. come see it in february.
finally, once i returned home, despite the fact that i discovered my apartment swarming with dudes (okay, only three, including my fiancee [i still think it's awesome every time i get to call him that]. besides, they're dudes i actually like), it was awesome. i tried a new recipe - white bean chicken chili - and it is delicious, and i'm currently working on my second vodka cranberry.
after this i will shower and crash. tomorrow i'm going to take brenna to see grease for teh freez. i wouldn't have gone if she hadn't asked about it, but it should be fun even though it's effing grease. plus taylor hicks of american idol fame is playing the teen angel, so, you know. that'll be... cool...
well. i should probably end this.
current music: some kind of german metal, aka D's WoW background music

on a lighter note...
between the hours of 3:00 and 4:45 pm today, these three things happened:
1. a woman called and asked "umm, do you have a ticket office?"
no, of course not. why would a theatre have a ticket office?
2. a guy came in and inquired "is this a half-price ticket office?"
does this look like any ticket office you've ever seen?
3. another woman called and asked "is the russian ballet nutcracker- is that pretty much ballet?"
the word ballet is in the title. what do you think?
i figure i get called from idiots all the time because the intelligent ones are smart enough to figure things out for themselves.

let's talk about abortion for a minute. that's right. this is me reacting to nonsense on facebook and people using their status updates to broadcast their agenda. questions about "how would you feel if you were required to pay for other peoples' abortions?" and bad poems about a woman feeling guilty after just aborting her fetus, and endless copies of emails about pitts-stupak.
