Nov. 6th, 2004 03:05 amJust some quick notes before I go to sleep lest I forget to mention things:
-Ran into a Reedie that I knew today. He's in town for a linguistics conference. Totally random.
-Was going to see "Dracula" but didn't, because there were way too many people there and I foolishly had not made a reservation. But, while I was there, I saw the mayor, in line ahead of me, and shook his hand. Not terribly exciting, but worthy of note. Made reservations for Sunday then found out that I'll have to pay $25 for it. But, I get to meet the playwright and eat food and stuff.
-So instead of seeing a play, I ended up going bowling. And doing really badly. Next time, though, Eric's going down. Down, I say!
-Also ran into one of the people in my acting class upon returning to Geckos after bowling. She told her friend that I'm good at that acting thing.
-Wednesday was a really long day, between classes and the MSSA colloquium and a play that I got to see for free. My thing at the colloquium went really well, and I wasn't even nervous. And I ate for free all day, because there was food at the colloquium, and food after the play because it was opening night and all.
-Last Friday was also a long day, and very Tolkien-tastic. Because it was the "Tolkien and Beowulf" seminar thingie. Missed most of the third lecture on account of being sick, but it wasn't the most interesting one anyway. After the seminar, there was a Hobbit Society/MSSA meeting thingie with the lecturers, and then I drove the lecturers back to their hotel and went to help set up for the reception, which turned out to mean putting out three chairs and then standing in front of the fire because I was somehow freezing my ass off. And I couldn't eat food or drink wine because of stomach issues, but those also got me out of washing dishes because I went home early. And apparently I give others the impression that I am a grad student.
-Wednesday in acting class we staged jokes, and my group did my favorite pirate joke. And I was the pirate.
