I worry less tonight with him at the vets than if he were home, honestly. I miss him, but... They are equipped there to keep him happier and less miserable. I'm just skirting bad thoughts about what the xrays and tests showed and want to know, you know.

Speaking of historically dubious, I was at a thingy for the Joffrey Ballet the other night, with a guy who's just created a new ballet for them based loosely on Jane Austen. Loosely as in it's sort of inspired by that milieu, rather than taking any of the story elements. But anyway, he had the costume designer with him, and they were talking about how they had conceived and researched the general set and costume look to reflect that inspiration. Quite fascinating, but I snorted when the designer kept going on about Renaissance fashions. Um.
And then afterwards I got a look at the marketing materials which again talked about Jane Austen and the Victorian era. Double um.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Much amounts of ~ma for Mr. Kitty, sarameg, and for you.
I'm a lot like you Sophia, with ideals on costumes. Right now my fall production, Fools, is a lose interp of 1890's Ukraine with a heavy influence of farce and fairy tale.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I hope the vet calls with good news soon, sarameg.
Gaming peoplr--do you have any recs for Nintendo DS games that would be good for 9 year old girls?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Are historically accurate costumes more important in movies than in theatre?
To me, yes. Theater isn't trying to present itself as the final say on the subject, where - just by the static nature of the medium - film often does. I'm not saying filmmakers have that goal, it's just that - with how real moves look and act and all of that, I expect costumes/props/locations to be accurate, as well. Unless, of course, the filmmaker is going for an anachronistic effect (see Coppola's Marie Antoinette).

One of my cousins about that age is devoted to her Nintendogs.
