I don't feel like Grease actually is rapey, right? Everyone is an eager participant?

As I mostly remember the soundtrack and not the plot, the "did she put up a fight" bit, was, umm, a bit, wait what.

I guess it's worth noting that the original stage play version of Grease was wayyyyyy more raunchy than the movie. There was a fascinating piece in Vanity Fair several years ago about how the play came about, and how it was very much an early 70s work with sex/drugs/rape/abortion.

Humm. I'll look it up.

Yes! That is the one I was directing! So raunchy! Also Barry Bostwick and Adrienne Barbeau were original cast. I read that Vanity Fair article

If you want to do a fun loving 50s musical, I don't think it is Grease!

I am proud that I worked really hard to seed Sandy's transformation as a coming out of her preconceived notions and becoming herself, and the whole show as each person learning who they are.

Pity me. Half hour chat session with Sprint because they are idiots. I switched to a senior account because I'm old and love the discounts more than the aching joints. Anyway, closed one account and opened another. They were supposed to refund me $20, and instead refunded me $180, then sent me a past due notice for $160.

Short version, not enough coffee.

Oh god, my morning was such a mess! It started last night when I realized I forgot to put out the yard waste barrel. Then I heard on the radio first thing that there was a train derailed on my subway line. But I don't take the subway! So I left the house, pulled out the barrel, got a couple of houses down and saw that they had actually already come and taken the yard waste. So I went back and pulled the barrel back up the driveway. Started walking again, but it was raining, so I thought, I'll just take the subway. Rode the escalator one mile down, saw the packed platform, remembered the derailment, took the escalator back up and walked to work! Was many minutes later than I like to be.

Alas, I had a Bad Night with much insomnia and runs to the toilet, so I slept extra late and took my time faffing around with my games and reading.

Which relevant to Jesse's post above, I didn't catch any of the surge fares that must have overflowed like liquid cash to Lyft drivers when the subway is down and the rain is falling. (Of course, I was also out of the traffic, too.)

Oy, Jesse. That's some highly specific mess.

Sorry about the bad night and missing out on income, Theo.

I am reminding myself that at least there is air conditioning at work.

Today's status meeting is going to be fun. My current cough/cold has my voice sounding like I'm speaking from beyond the grave (though aside from my throat I actually feel fine). Odds that someone will need a detailed explanation from me whereas I usually just say the occasional "thanks"?

OK, I've been working for an hour and a half. I'd like to go back to bed now.

That is A Lot, Jesse.

I'm exhausted because I've barely been sleeping at night with the heat wave. It was 85F in my apartment last night, and it would not cool down.
