If I had a giant cooler of Gatorade, I'd pour it over your head
So Alexandra leaves for Mozambique tomorrow morning. Ish. Her flight leaves at 6, so she's actually leaving the house at 3 or so. So... is that tonight or tomorrow? I don't know. Anyways, that means that Lourenzo and I are on our own for the next week. Which will actually be just fine. Fun, even. I have him all weekend this week (he's coming to church with me on Sunday), and then he's spending next weekend with his godparents, so I get the entire weekend off.
I think that's just about the most interesting thing that's happening, really. Other than the fact that I'm working on a new fic, so I'm watching the same episode, reading the transcript, and checking out screencaps over and over again, to get my details and sequencing straight.
And I found part of Jakob's birthday present while I was in New Haven, but it has nothing to do with Yale. It's just cute.
I want to go see Children of a Lesser God while it's playing--maybe I'll go next weekend, when I don't have the L. I got an email with an offer for discounted tickets, so $12 is definitely not a bad price at all. I should really book a ticket now, shouldn't I?
Man, I've got a lot of birthday/wedding/shower gifts to buy in the next few months. But no worries... I've got ideas coming out the yin yang. For some of them. Others... not so much. We're still a little sketchy on the details.
On Tuesday night, when I was at the show, I was sitting in the lobby before it started, and I got so homesick. Not for Calgary, but for backstage. Especially since students were acting as ushers (the show wasn't a school show--it was the professional theatre that's run under the Yale umbrella, but the grad students are involved in certain aspects), and it just reminded me so much of all my Rocky shows. Probably with slightly rose-tinted glasses, but still. Going to Broadway shows, or some of the bigger shows, is amazing, but it hasn't (so far) gotten me as homesick as this did--even though it was a professional show, it was in a smaller, black-box theatre, and the atmosphere was more casual than Broadway. I wanted to do something--usher, whatever. Just to do something besides watch.
