Ethel Merman Institute for the Criminally Insane

I've experienced many things for the first time since I've moved to DC. My first murder trial, my first blizzard. And now my first earthquake! I'm sort of hoping for either a tornado or a hurricane next so I can complete my natural disaster triptych.

Two Very Important Announcements

Wed, 14 Jul 2010 18:03:54 GMT

1. Denizens of DC: I have a play running! I designed the costumes for this one, written by a classmate. It is AWESOME and in the Fringe Festival and you should go see it! Dates, summary and ticket info here: Singing Eggs and Spermless Babies

2. Denizens of Athens/Atlanta: I will be there this weekend! I'm flying down Sat. morning and I'll be in Athens until Tues morning. Who's free for dinner/coffee/what-have-you? If I need to steal a car and come down to Atlanta for an evening, that's doable.

OMG!

Okay so. In no particular order.

1) Not dead! This past semester was way more bi-polar (in that I had one class that I HATED and one class that I OMGLOVED) than I expected and that apparently prevented me from posting or something. Am v. glad to be out of the class that I hated (and with a decent grade!) although I miss the class that I loved. And I absolutely WILL NOT get a second Masters in history no matter how much fun I had because that would be silly. No really.

2) But no class over the summer! YAAAAAAY!! And I'm quite excited about the play that I am going to dramaturg for school. So that's nice.

3) I'm also costuming a play for one of my classmates. DC folks, keep an ear out! I will let you know the dates and bug you all to come see it! It will be really good, I promise!

4) Had a fantastic long weekend with ms_ntropy and her peeps! *two thumbs up* It was really wonderful to meet all those new people! I hope to be able to repeat the experience soon. Yes, even the forced marches! Though perhaps not the Surprise Attack Fountain.

FIRSTLY: I did not have to wear my coat when I went for lunch today! \o/!! Truly a St. Patrick's Day miracle.

SECONDLY: So in between stressing out about school and being sick last week I completely forgot to keep up with the 30 Day meme! I'm sure y'all were broken-hearted. Onwards then to

First of all, I need to make a correction to the post from yesterday. I was under the impression that Patty had come up with the Johnny Weir-Lady GaGa idea. Actually, it was originated by sundancekid. Sorry to claim credit there!

And at the request of marynotcontrary, we've expanded a bit on the concept. Allie and Mary, the following is dedicated to you both. You're welcome.

Patty, longtimegone and I were discussing Doctor Who and Torchwood, as you do. Patty proclaimed that, "I have to admit I will miss seeing David walk away from something exploding, looking all broody and serious. In fact if they made a show that was just "Explosions and David!" Perhaps produced by Micheal Bay, I would totally watch it. "

longtimegone decided "what would be really awesome is if Jack set up a Torchwood back up base in Canada. Dude, Jack in Canada? AWESOME. He'd totally sleep his way through the Mounties. All of them. :)) "

And it hit us. Why not put all of that into Johnny Weir and Lady GaGa Fight Crime? It would Epic and Sparkly.

Patty summarized it: I would watch the shit out of that show. The explosions could be caused by the crime fighting and since there is crime fighting of COURSE mounties are involved and Jack and David are there as like a long standing bickering couple of friends. and David is a newspaper reporter and worries about how Jack is sleeping his way through Mounties (which causes him to make the emo face a lot) and since he's a reporter he ends up on the Johnny Weir/Lady Gaga beat so he's around things that blow up alot. Jack is a private detective of course.

The only question now is what kind of crime is being fought? Boring criminals who get overwhelmed by the fabulousness of our Daring Duo? Evil Drag Queens who try to take out their Fantasticly Flamboyant competition? Truly the great question of our era.

Apparently Godzilla is on the way or something because my building keeps shaking. Being on the 7th floor, this makes me slightly anxious...

It feels like I haven’t posted in eleventy billion years. This is partly due to the fact that my class schedule is different this semester and that has thrown my rest-of-life schedule off kilter in unexpected ways. This is also partly due to the fact that I’ve been 67% more naval-gazy than usual and I really don’t want to put y’all through that. I actually spent like, an hour and half the other day pondering how one would determine how much introspection is TOO much introspection and then my head exploded.

This is still not really a real life post, say sorry. I’m pretty sure most of y’all haven’t been keeping up with the current season of Merlin, but I need to get a few things off my chest so here it is, under the cut. Once again, I’ve got a silly show that I’m taking too seriously. Feel free to move along. If you do bother read, be warned that I make no promises for coherence.

( I have very mixed feelings about Arthur/Gwen (and they're mostly unrelated to Arthur/Merlin!) )

ARRRGGH. So, yeah. Basically once again I've got myself a silly show and taken it much too seriously. You're welcome.
