Backstage Beat
I just finished my run in my amateur theatrical for lawyers. Unfortunately, I was not playing Rizzo in Grease. It was a collection of parody songs, generally employing topics that were dated by about six months and songs that were dated by about sixty years. I played a Pokémon and Gary Johnson, but I repeat myself. It was fun! Mainly due to heavy drinking every night afterwards, but still. Isn't that what the theater is all about?
Of course, I managed to catch a horrific cold at the tail end of the show, and not because we were playing makeout games. So I spent last night drifting in and out of consciousness before finally sleeping for twelve hours straight. I called in sick, today, obviously, and treated myself all day with fun cocktails of Mucinex, Dayquil, cough drops, and nasal spray. I did hallucinate a bit, but that could have just been the Hallmark channel, and now I'm feeling better.
Back to the real world (or at least work) tomorrow!
