His opening monologue was spectacular, it was great to hear new jokes. And yes, the admiral sketch was fabulous (although to be fair Kate and Aidy deserve a lot of credit for that), it was a nice new twist on The Corporal. Also, did you see the Cut for Time sketches? Love Is Blind is so good and I’m so angry they cut it.

  

I haven’t viewed the CFTs yet, but I read about the Love Is Blend sketch in an article on the news app I have on my phone. And I love Aidy and Kate! I love everything Kate McKinnon does (except the Ghostbusters remake) and she was the only part of Yesterday  (the movie) that I liked. I also enjoy watching Aidy’s own show Shrill from time to time, but I haven’t continued beyond episode three because I got distracted by Pride and Prejudice and all the other new movies and TV that got dumped on Hulu.

1) Earl Grey is the greatest tea known to man, but I don’t have any right now so Oolong is a very close second. 2) I love rain. 3) Radiohead is like broccoli: either you love them or hate them. I recommend starting with their seminal OK Computer so you’ll at least have knowledge of that cultural phenomenon, or The Bends if you like a bit more chinga-chinga songs, or my personal favorite In Rainbows because it’s got lovely atmospheric ballads. I was just listening to A Moon Shaped Pool, their latest, which is very similar to In Rainbows and therefore also one of my favorites. If you just want song recommendations to start with, then I’d say “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi,” “Street Spirit (Fade Out),” and “Subterranean Homesick Alien.”

(That was truly difficult. Even harder than deciding who to vote for, honestly )

Normally I’d say start at the beginning, but Pablo Honey is in my opinion almost wholly unremarkable 90’s alt-rock.

1) It’s such a shame you don’t have any Earl Grey right now I wish I could send you a box

2) Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I really appreciate it! I have heard their most popular song “Creep” (and spent many a marching band bus ride badly singing it with my best friend), and I am excited to explore further! (also, I really dig the Dylan reference in that one song and how their name itself is a Talking Heads reference)

I am sorry, Rita, it’s never nice to get yelled at. Our play rehearsals often have a lot of yelling among techies but it’s less “I’m mad at you” and more “I am stressed and so I am making my voice loud.” Also, you have multiple stage managers? How does that work?

Yeah, there’s a lot of “stressed out” yelling at ours too. I’m extremely guilty of yelling at my run crew or any other techies under me because of my stress levels as well as sometimes there are freshmen/newer members who think that they know it all already (Spoiler alert: they don’t) so they act like complete arseholes and don’t listen to me even when I’m trying to make sure that you don’t hurt yourself and/or anyone else! That’s not how you bolt a platform and you don’t use mcfrickin 3-inch screws with facing nor do you leave wood scattered in messy piles all over the place nor do you screw around with a circular saw without securing the plywood correctly and don’t mess around with the sound equipment that’s not yours and being on the run crew doesn’t mean you get to hang out and chit chat at a normal level of voice backstage while a show is going on and then disappear when I need you but anyhoo….

Open for an explanation on the stage manager system at my theater: 

(I spoiler-ed it because its quite lengthy and I want to keep everything neat-looking) 

Today I finally asked the male member of the human species that I am interested in if he would like to see the movie “Onward” with me this weekend. At first, I was disappointed because he replied that he was already planning on seeing it with his brother (which I find nice since the movie is about two brothers). I said that it was ok and that I was already asking other people if they would like to go (which is a lie. I absolutely haven’t asked other people yet). Then, all of sudden later in the day he texts me saying “maybe I can see it twice depends on the day,” which I kind of took as a positive sign. Of course, I’m anxious about the whole thing. I don’t like liking people. It’s very inconvenient and has hurt me in the past, so I have a lot of trepidations and insecurities and its very hard for me to look forward to the “ideal” outcome because I don’t want to get my hopes up. However, a lot of our mutual friends, as well as other people, have told me that, while he hasn’t explicitly stated interest in me, he seems to generally act differently with me than he would a regular friend (in a positive sense, of course. To quote my friend: “he doesn’t make too much of an effort with people if he doesn’t care. Based on what I have seen and what you relay to me, he’s making quite an effort to talk to you and interact with you.” ). A lot of them also believe that we’re a good match overall. Ugh I don’t know…..situations like these always seem so frivolous and stupid to me.   I wish things were more straightforward . I really like this guy– I really like spending time with him and talking to him and debating with him. I like him to the point where even if things didn’t work out, I’d be fine with having him just as a good friend…..but still the bonuses to being more than friends with him don’t sound too shabby…..

Anyhoo I hope all y’all have a lovely week and that you all remember to wash your hands thoroughly and frequently  !

I have a problem with daydreaming and setting up expectations in my mind. So when something doesn’t go the way I expect, particularly with someone, I have crushing depression, which turns into hate and then apathy.
