I also think that the play is just not gonna work. We simply do not have enough kids who can do it, between work, school and family duties.
Crud.
Can you maybe do a less ambitious project? Something with some wee scenes? Maybe a mix of bits of Shakespeare and other things? Traditional and modern? Is it the text that's the main problem, or the commitment/skills of the kids? 'Cause maybe you could have some working on other stuff? Like, er, the opening scene of 'Pulp Fiction', or whatever? Or even (although I'm rather horrified at myself for even thinking it) get them/you/somebody to rewrite the damn script and do a modern language version, which would at least mean they understood what was going on - maybe start off with the Chorus coming on and doing the old iambic pentameter from a book and then have the brawling folks at the start come on and deck him in passing, and throw the book into the audience, and shift into modern English?
...I'm just loath to lose it altogether. Even though it's nothing to do with me. I'm sad for you.
Grrr. Insomnia back. For no reason I can tell at all.
Anyone calling me inappropriately too early will be held responsible for damages. Damages are likely to include both my phone and whatever it hits. I hope they have money.
Oh and I microwaved a fork. Might need a new microwave as well. No premeditation on the fork thing. Completely didn't deserve the microtorture.
I stole Cass's sleep. I suck.
Of course, I was awaken at 7 by my mother calling to find out if I had slept. Um...yes, but I guess no more.
amych! I hope doggie comes home soon! How terrifying! Toto and I are vibing for all of you.

Fay, my school only has 130 students, and there's just not enough students with the time, the interest and the transpo. But, do not fear! I am working on a combo poetry slam/talent show/ dramatic monologue Spring Fling afternoon of Talent thingie. My girls want a beauty pageant, which I am loathe to sponsor, based on my feminist principles, but seeing as it really just an excuse for them to dress up at school and wear pretty dresses, I find that I am weak. I lurves me students. I dunno.
The Show Will Go On!!!
Shoe post! I got these in the mail yesterday and I am totally in loves with them [link] I'm thinking about having a wedge love affair and getting these, too [link] If I dressed in anything other than jeans, I'd totally love to have these dressier ones [link]
For your amusement, I'll close with these aptly named lovelies [link]
Yes! Happy birthday indeed, Suzi!
amych, I hope the idiot furnace guys offered to help you comb the neighborhood. Stupid effers.
Seriously! Amych, I hope he is home already. so scary!

Oooh! LOVE THEM! Love wedge. My friend was having a 50% off sale at her store (actually it may still be going on) and I got these (in a lighter tan) a couple of weeks ago:

And the non-wedge version of these:

And then I realized that all of my shoes that are not sandals are round toe. I need to branch out!
Happy Birthday, Suzi! It is also my dad's birthday! He's 65! How'd that happen?!
