I like how I don’t even remember what happened on Monday or Tuesday. Sleep deprivaiton FTW!

Wednesday: KGB! It was a great reading, with Alaya Dawn Johnson and Christopher Barzak. I think. Turns out I couldn’t hear anything due to the play some dudes were rehearsing upstairs. It went, no joke, like this:

“HI EVERYONE! IT’S TIMMY, HOME FROM SCHOOL!”
*SOMETHING ELSE AT IMPOSSIBLE YET MUMBLY VOLUME*
“WOULD YOU LIKE TO INVITE SOME FRIENDS ALONG?”
“BOY, WOULD I?!”

Repeat that every two minutes for an hour and a half. Enjoy! I know I did.

Thursday: Went uptown to see Ellen Kushner’s The Klezmer Nutcracker. The costumes made me angry to the point of distraction, but some of the staging is really enjoyable, sly jokes are thrown in for the grown-ups, and even as a child-hater, it is adorable to watch kids just go NUTS for everything, especially the chance to answer riddles. (Thankfully by raising their hands, not by raising their little-monster voices. Yay politeness!)

Friday: Six inches of snow and sleet! My commute home from work will be awesome.

Saturday: A train ride! Formerly a bus ride, but I have images of a beautiful ice ballet of cars twirling slowly across the highway tomorrow.
