The Icon Faerie

For Maxine's class I need to think about a dramaturg-driven project and find someone to collaborate on it with, and I'm worried about that so if you're a theatre professional in the New York area you should do karma a favor and contact meeeeeeeeee, but for now I am just looking for help.

I need to know about plays and musicals that somehow feature mental illness. Here's my list so far:

Next to Normal
Proof
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Hamlet
Three Days of Rain


... As you can see, I need help. >_> So give me some lists, give me some ideas, help me out. I'll even take books and movies, even though I wanted to stick to theatre. I want to focus on mentally ill main characters, where the illness is part of the plot and faced, rather than be something from a secondary character that affects the protagonist (i.e. mentally ill parent of a child -- I would put Running With Scissors in this category, for example) or played for a laugh. I am so tired of mental illness being played for a laugh.

So please, add your own, advertise this post, help a sister out.

Why is it that when I am away from my computer and occupied (i.e. at work or... okay work is the only place I go) all I want to do is sit down and write but when I sit down TO write I can't even get "bubble bubble monkey cinema quick hockety pockety"?

What?

Okay, I know it's not the point of this article, but you can't make me seriously believe that Hilary Duff doesn't have cash of her own laying around, and if so, why can't she pay for her own damn party?

So I have these files that aren't letting me delete them, and I remembered a program that I used to have where I could choose to have the files deleted next time I restarted Windows. I can't remember the name of it, I'm not sure if it's still installed on Lolita, and my Google-fu skills aren't up to par today. Can anyone help?

ETA: NEVER MIND. I found something that works. Unlocker, if you're curious.

What the fuck is Firefox 3's problem with the internet?

I have an odd request to make.

Someone who has a bootleg of PoA, would you be willing to make me a screencap or two?

Look at it this way, Martha Stewart. At least you'll be out in time to do some emergency decorating for the holidays.

(Wow I'm really mean.)

Also, my mom and I were watching The West Wing this morning (we both hate politics but love this show), and we were wondering... what happens if they want to go beyond eight seasons?

Question/Begging!

Does anyone have a super good memory or a bootleg they would be willing to check on for the following? I need the first part of the conversation between Harry and Remus where he talks about how he knew Lily and James, when they're on that covered bridge thingy. ::facepalm:: I'm really bad at description, yeah. Particularly what he says about Lily.

Please? It's for ficcing purposes. ::begs again:: I'll have children, give icons, drabbles, anything!


...

Desperate, are we no?

I have to ask you all: If I'm writing a review of Return of the King and the Lord of the Rings films in general for speech, what do you think it is important that I mention in this speech that can last up to eight minutes?
