cutting it close, making it secure, and strawberries.

oh no. i just realized that most of our rehearsals are not being video recorded. =O we need to create a making-of video as well and we only got some footage on mingo's camera but that broke, so i don't even know if we have that. if anything, we can shoot at a dress rehearsal and then have a bunch of talking heads to make up the video.

our performance date is getting very close. we're performing on the 29th at ms4 and on the 5th at our school (although i think we should go on the 6th since we were originally supposed to go second at the school, but whatever.)

we got a lot done in the past week but there are still some scenes we need to do. then we have dress rehearsals and we have to work on staging, using props, blocking, etc. ahhh. there's so much we just have to work out and we won't have much time to do it, sadly. =/


also, things have been complicated because my poor mother had to go to the hospital for, I believe, non-fatal reasons. she hasn't come back yet and i'm not sure if she's still waiting in the waiting room or if they're still running tests on her in the ER. prayers for her, please. =)


i got an e-mail from kean university's john wooten. he gave me excellent advice and did as he suggested. i registered my play with the WGAE ($22 for nonmembers, $17 for students) and i am not going to take anything from the ticket sales from bergen county academies for using my play since they aren't making personal profit and it's a school production. i feel wonderfully about it. hopefully they mail me a program or something at least. =) if they do put it on, i'd love to see it, but that just might be impossible.

friday was a strawberry-filled day, actually. mr. oshaughnessy's sixth block performed (most of) The Not-So-Lovely Tale of Strawberry Fructose and they seemed to like it. i wish we could've finished =/ but we did get through quite a bit and we were actually on the last scene. i had forgotten how much i loved that play. i'm quite proud of it, even if the line "However, I can give you a lick. In fact, I can do a lot better!" still freaks me out every time i hear it.

for me, the impression of reisman's "60s, jerry garcia, drugs" lion performance will never leave that role.

the actor who played her father played a lion who wanted to eat her. her true love? a dog who wanted to eat her. symbolic or not? =O

oh, and also on friday, i directed mrs. gupta's 7th and 8th blocks through dna extraction labs using strawberries. =) but i missed even more of pan's labyrinth. =( now i really have to borrow it since we're going to have a quiz on it. unfortunately, my dvd player is not working. i need to go to someone's house. =O

p.s. adrien brody = hot.
