the theater is a wonderland

to say that i'm having a ball
just rehearsing for stages of love
is an understatement.

my castmates are hilarious
and the material makes you feel good
plus it helps to have something different
to look forward to each day.

i know i miss my cues
and i never get the choreography right
and some lines, well, i just can't seem
to say them without dropping
(i remember being in a musical where in our many runs,
i never got to actually sing my lyrics correctly)

but working on it
almost every night is a blessing.


i've been very sentimental lately.
is this because i'm sort of sure that i'm ushering in a new chapter of my life?
baduy.
but wait, there's still that paper to finish.

and speaking of paper (lame segue),
here's a pretty interesting new republic opinion article
on the washington journal's "punctuation fetish" (link here)

boo to "square quotes" and the republicans who love them.
