My mediocre internet presence...

finally exists! Hooray! I googled myself by the name I most prefer to go by, and not only were there 27 results, they were 27 results that were actually me! Bwhahahahah! I shall begin to build my internet empire!

Busy Busy Busy....blah blah blah insert usual to-do-list here.

This is a theater-riffic weekend. Tonight I am going to see if I can get rush tickets to see Avenue Q, which is in town. If you don't know about Avenue Q, check it out. It's sort of like the Muppets. For adults. Ish. I've listened to the soundtrack a number of times and I am sure the show will be hilarious. I can't wait!

Then, tomorrow I am seeing The Merry Widow, directed by a friend whose work I have been following for a long time. I know she is a phenomenal director and I also just cannot wait to see this Opera.

On Saturday I am going to a wine-tasting (theme: french). I'm bringing a 2002 Côtes de Bordeaux, which I'm nervous about. I'd heard this type compared to other wines that I like, such as a Tempranillo, but then after I purchased it I read one review online. There was only one. And this person wasn't a fan. In fact they really didn't like it. I hope they are wrong, because I'm bringing it anyway. Later that night I'm seeing The Love of the Nightingale, also directed by a friend. I've worked with him in some of my Theatre for Cultural and Social Awareness work, so I have incredibly high expectations for this show because I know what he can do. I helped with the props, costumes, and set as well and it looks fabulous. I am so excited to see it I can barely wait, and if you are in the Madison area I highly recommend you check it out as well.*

In addition I need to catch up on my research project and graduate school applications, so it looks like it will be a busy weekend.

Then Sunday is the General Membership Meeting. I couldn't sell my stereo on Craig's List, so I am raffling it off to the MCC members that come to the GMM. Then I won't have to move it! I think about that a lot, now that I only have one year of school left: am I moving this come next summer when I go to grad school? I am making mental inventories of what will be tossed in the free-pile and what will be packed. Almost all of the fiction is coming with me, but most of the high-school level chemistry and biology books will go. I'll keep most of the fiction except for the stuff I am never going to get to. I'm tossing most of my shoes: I'll get a new pair of New Balance sneakers in wherever I'm at, and keep one pair of flats, the nice pair of heels (someday I'll condition myself to wear them, because they look fabulous), and the Chacos from my last birthday. I'll move my teacups and french press but if I don't finish the tequila it's not going with me... Etc. I can't wait to go through my clothes. If you want a trunk full of a range (read: good to bad) of cloth and sewing-esque materials, please let me know. It's heavy, I don't want to have to move that.

*Note: I haven't seen LotN yet, so maybe you should wait until my Sunday morning post. It does run next weekend as well.
