Silly, maybe

It's sad. That's all the input that I really have.
Any untimely death is sad.

I don't know why I feel so bummed about the death of Heath Ledger. I think it might have something to do with the fact that he seemed to have just hit his stride in his career. He had some silly movies behind him, some terrible movies behind him, and he had just hit a crop of really good projects that allowed him to stretch himself as an actor. I feel like there was so much just on the horizon for him. After he lost the Oscar for "Brokeback Mountain", I remember thinking that it was okay, that it was his first nomination and if he kept this up, he'd have many years of nominations ahead of him. It's just sad to think that now he won't.

And it makes me think about my friends. How devastated I would be if it were one of them.

Everybody just has to take care of themselves. And anybody else that will let you take care of them.

I swear I had something to blog about...

ummmmm

What WAS I going to say?

*sigh*

Well, um, I applied today to try to win a free pair of really nice sweats (because I would never buy them). They said to tell them where/why you would wear these nice sweats if you won them. At the end of the day, they're picking the best one. I sent in some rambling-ass tale where I end up wearing them on a walk, to work, and to rehearsal where someone finally calls out the fact that I'm wearing the same thing as the last time they saw me. And I make up an excuse that possibly implies that I wear the same thing for many days in a row without changing or washing. I don't think I'm going to win. However, when I sent it in, all the others were like "while sitting on my couch" or "while playing DDR". Not nearly as interesting.

I could win those sweats.

I should be looking over my scripts some more, but I 've had too much coffee and can't concentrate. Ooh. Maybe I should file these papers and do actual work?

Maybe later. Right now I have to check each of my emails 5 times in rapid succession and check my planner to make sure there's nothing I forgot to write down since I last checked.

Marco!
Polo!

The show must mother-fucking go on.

I feel like I've been swearing a lot in my various emails, blogs and bulletins today. I'm just feeling kind of ferocious, fiercely adamant and ready to smack down anyone who stands in the way.

DK's "Are You Delicious?" opens tomorrow.
And it's going to be wonderful.
And we're going to have an awesome time because that is why we are doing it in the first place.
And people are going to come see us.
And we are going to get a good review (not that it matters that much).

Because if we go out there and half-ass it tomorrow, it's going to break my goddamn heart.

See? Why the swearing? Is it necessary?
Maybe. I mean, that was the exact phrase that went though my head, so at least it's honest.

But the show is going to rock.
No question about it.
