Hey, do you know what is totally NOT made of win? A four-hour power blackout followed by another twelve hours of internet what refuses to work. *growls at the school*
And then, and then, once the power comes back (but before the internet connection does) trying to boot up your laptop only to have it totally fail to respond, panic, spend frantic moments checking power cords and the room lights to make sure there's no reason why the power shouldn't be working, panicking more, walking downstairs to get a drink while continuing to panic and think about how you'll survive if your laptop is really and truly dead, then getting back to your room and realizing that the power strip cord was knocked out of the wall, which is also the reason why your phone has stopped charging and the TV won't turn on. Yes. I am an utter ditz who nearly talked myself into a heart attack.
(Also uncool? Being offline for sixteen-plus hours and then logging into your e-mail to discover a mere five new messages. *sigh* Yes, I'm an e-mail whore.)
I can't bear to face getting caught up on my friendslist because I'm In A Mood, so if you posted anything in, say, the last twenty-four hours that you think I should see, drop me a link and I will check it out.
On brighter notes, Yellow Boat has almost all of its props now! Yay! We still need the Frankenstein bolts. And the dolls are getting made on Wednesday during my Theatre For Young Audiences class. And minor adjustments need to be made to some of the props (clipboards need to be painted, finger puppet needs a grass skirt sewn on, that sort of thing) but this is well and truly Progress. Which is good, 'cause it's October now and we open on the eighteenth.
The cast is supposed to be off-book tonight. I laugh and cringe simultaneously and am somewhat grateful I will miss a large chunk of tonight's rehearsal for class.
Link of the moment: a post connecting Chess and xkcd, two of my Greatest Loves Ever. :D :D :D
And Randall blogs about the xkcd meetup!
No classes tomorrow, but I do have work starting at 9AM.
And, um. Yeah, that's about it. Mostly I'm still sulking about the power/Internet outage. I deserve a good sulk, I think.
