I don't feel fierce.

Ugh. Right now there is no one who annoys me more than Kathy Griffith. Because I made the mistake of watching a rerun of The Weakest Link Celebrity edition on GSN with her and Rob Schneider and I think I can only handle one at a time. But unlike Rob, I am annoyed by her all the time.

I am also willing to chalk this up to the fact that it's just kind of been a disappointing day, wherein I didn't get to eat lunch. First, I went to American West which is turning out to not be as fun as I thought it was going to be. I like Dr. Miyamoto, but she likes group discussion, and I don't. Because I am always the one who ends up talking, because I would rather say something, anything, than sit there in the desperately awkward silence. And I'm tired of being the one to talk. Not to mention, I'm kind of an individual things person. I like to do my reading, answer questions myself, and honestly not have to listen to the crap that other people come up with, because some of it IS crap. (Is there anyone with a functioning IQ level who thinks that there was an Indian nation who managed to avoid contact with Whites until 1895? Anyone? I didn't think so.) I would rather just do that.

And then chorale's a drag. It is. It just is. It's going to be like it is every spring. The classical/chorale music part of our program is going to be great, and the pop music portion of it is going to be shit. Because we rehearse, rehearse, rehearse the non-pop stuff until it's perfect, and we haven't rehearsed the pop music. And not everybody is me, i.e. NOT EVERYBODY HAS HAIRSPRAY(/LES MIZ/PHANTOM) MEMORIZED. Hoff, you and I are a special breed of nerd. We are not going to rehearse that music, but Hoff is going to insist that it's memorized, which is could be if we'd rehearsed it more than a week before the concert. Despite the fact that I have given this to him on two different course evaluations (and REALLY castigated him on the second one).

I met with Dennis about dramaturgy Threepenny stuff. He gave me two more books to look at (because I don't have enough to read) and said some projections I got were good, some were not particularly moving. Fine, okay. It was not YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG, and he agreed with me that if Mark and David wanted input on the projections, then they should be giving me feedback. (Along this line, finding pictures for the projections was last weekend's endeavor. I sent them the photobucket link I am storing all of them at on Monday. I understand being busy, hello, I am a full time student, but seriously.)

And then I had an e-mail from the reference librarian because I made an ILL request that was going to cost the school $25, so they wanted to know what it was for. Rightly so. Except THEN, when I SHOULD HAVE BEEN EATING LUNCH GOD I AM SO HUNGRY the reference librarian wanted to help me find resources for my topic right then and there. (My proposed topic was writing about the founding of the Korean National Theatre, in 1950, primary sources are understandably going to be difficult to find.) Grr. And I don't think she understands that a majority of the books I've found in the library having to do with eastern theatre (which are scarce, by the by) are not, like, modern history. It's about indigenous dance theatre. And yes, I found the Cambridge guide, thank you, but I was not getting it on ILL quite yet because ARGH. I want people to just let me do it. YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.

I need to be fed and I need to be fed now. My blood sugar is dropping through the floor and I am going to be a lot happier when I get food in my stomach.

(Also, if Cate Blanchett wins best actress for that crappy Elizabeth sequel because she should have won for I'm Not There but they want to fuck someone over? That's shit. I will throw a fit if she wins for that.)

I saw Juno, which isn't to say that I think Ellen Page instead of dear old Cate, but I was pleasantly surprised. The film was a lot deeper and mature than I thought it would be. It was really good and had a great soundtrack.

THUNDERCATS ARE GO!
