Want to know what's not fun? Grabbing a slice of pizza and having a 2-inch square of molten, sizzling cheese drip onto your leg. But even something as painful as that cannot mar my joyous day! After school, I dashed to Borders to grab a copy of "Salmon of Doubt", which I keep wanting to call "Salmon of Doom". A bit like my continued references to "The Fifth Elephant" when I'm taking about "The Fifth Element". Anyway, they were sold out, so I dashed to Barnes and Noble, where I nabbed two of the three remaining copies: one for me and one for Marcelina. I then took the copy by Marcelina's house. She didn't have the money to pay me back, so I borrowed her copies of "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency", "The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul", and "Last Chance to See" as ransom. Quite the Adams-fest tonight! Of course, I picked up "American Gods" again today after a few weeks, and it remains spectacular. Reading 4+ books at a time: go me!
Afterwards, I went to St. Marks for the readthrough for next year's musical. Mr. Blaydes actually wrote it, so he asked us to go over it tonight to present it the the community tomorrow. Well, when I say "wrote" it, I guess I refer to the book. He used pre-existing music. It's fairly nifty, but not very integrated. Still, I have no right to criticize. Anyone willing to undertake the feat of writing a musical deserves my admiration. ::thinks happily about "Men at Arms":: So yay. Go Mr. Blaydes! ::waves flags:: After all, "Mama Mia", "The Buddy Holly Story", and "All You Need is Love" (::squee::) used pre-existing music. So hurrah! I just got another fabulous review for my "Mary Sue" Litmus Test: "I hate your pointless and stupid story!!!!!" Thank you, Lenna Grimes! Hurrah! And that's my story.
