Oops I made Lembas. Or maybe it's more like cram. Anyway, don't use pastry flour to make bread, it doesn't work.

Now, again, I never say this about shows I work on, but

CHAMBER MACBETH AT SEATTLE SHAKESPEARE COMPANY IS WAY FABULOUS!!!

See it now. See it later. It's only 90 minutes of your life, but OH what an hour and a half! Oh yeah, and Jephly needs a date again.

If for no other reason, see it for the extravagantly muscled men in sleeveless shirts. hubba!

It was so beautiful here on Saturday! Hope you all got outside for a bit.

And now... I am pimping out my boyfriend. He needs a date for Saturday, March 3rd, to see A Tale of Two Cities. This is not your familiar comatose Dickens experience. Please take my boyfriend out.

Speaking of that show... all the men in the cast appear to be flirting with me. I'm sure this is just a theater thing: men flirt with all the girls. Girls flirt with all the girls. However, it's new to me to be able to exchange wit and smiles with the SUPER cute male lead. I guess surly bicycle chicks turn them on.

That last comment had nothing to do with pimping out my boyfriend. Really.

I never say this about shows I work on, so please understand the sincerity of the statement.

You MUST see A Tale of Two Cities at Book-it Repertory Theatre.

It's a hell of a show. A very solid ensemble performance. The best part: local textile artist Mandy Greer did all the blood and gore. The worst part: the lighting. But no one ever pays attention to the lighting anyway. Just me.

I mean it. See my show. Wed-Sun thru March 4th at the Seattle Center House Theater (100 yards to the left of the Space Needle). Student matinees for all you high schoolers out there. ROCK!

Why, Google, why?

Why did you tempt me with promises of a totally free, multi-user, collaborative spreadsheet that I could access from anywhere? You teased me and then snatched it all away with your damn 100 line limit. Thank you for hurting me.

I had visions of running through the grass- so happy to be free from the endless cycle of emailing a document to myself, editing and returning it- hand in hand with you, Google. But you were inattentive to my needs. You broke my heart, and I may never heal.

I hope you are happy in your choice. Your choice to betray me.

Love always, wherever you are.
lightlinn

awesome.

It allows you to say, without reservation, I'm awesome.

So it's my birthday on Tuesday and it being a school night and all I was hoping to have a birthday party next Friday or Saturday. If you live here, which night do you prefer? I'm leaning towards Saturday because the place I want to have it is less busy on Saturday nights. I could always have two parties... one costume party on Friday and one drinkin' party on Saturday. Who's in?

No, I will not do a shot with you.

Especially if it's Jager.

ps. sidenote- I was talking to this one older Polish guy in a bar this one time, and he said that, in Europe, Jagermeister is cough medicine. So all those frat boys lining up at the bar to display extra maladjusted bravado are essentially downing Triaminic. Gross.

So it turns out that I won all these awards and nobody told me. Well, okay, not me... shows that I worked on.

Please note that I was the lighting designer for two of the "Best of the fringe" shows and one of the "Best new plays". You may be able to discern which productions I subtly speak of. I guess I know what I'm doing, after all.

Seattle Times Footlight Awards 2005
-Best of the fringe:
Waiting for Lefty (Capitol Hill Arts Center)
!!!Back of the Throat (Theater Schmeater)!!!
!!!The Memory of Water (Atlas Theatre)!!!
-Best new plays (who cares if it's a repeat-- I WON!!!):
!!!Back of the Throat by Yussef El Guindi (Theater Schmeater)!!!
-Solo shows to celebrate:
The Ugly American by Mike Daisey (ACT Theatre)
-Local treasure:
Book-It Repertory Theatre.

This rocks.

Has anyone else noticed that the lighting in the white house library is now infinitely more theatrical than it was during the clinton administration?

It's all accented and shafty.

Is that because we're getting shafted?

And also, I will wear more skirts.

Xmas Stocking

Christmas

2006-12-01T06:26:12Z

Am I the only person who still likes christmas? Seems like it's the *in* thing to hate it. Guess I'm missing a trend here. But really, it's FUN! You get to decorate with vibrant and sparkely schlock. You have an excuse to bake new kinds of cookies. Family get-togethers provide ample guilt-free boozin' time. AND you get a TREE in your living room... how cool is that! So let it go, trendsters! The holidays are awesome.

so... what do you want for christmas?

it's dark here.

2006-11-15T19:01:28Z

Well that was surreal.

I just spent two weeks watching british style and home design shows, so my vocabulary is filled with words like knickers, jumpers, must do, and pants. BBC America is something awesome. Nearly makes me wish I had the idiot box hooked up in my own home. What Not To Wear, all day all night. Forever. Heaven.

Back home, in the rain. Did anyone get flooded? Hope not.

Is it possible to get a hangover from California? Seems like.

Still weirded out. Dad was prescribed vicodin, took it for two days, and is off it now. So that's good. You can always tell if someone took psychotropics recreationally in their past by the steadiness of their "trip legs." Dad has not. He wasn't slurring, falling down, or any such. Just slightly sloppy. Especially handwriting. And juice pouring.

Enough with the blah, to the hurrah! Le guest bed est arrive! We are now prepared for visitors. Yes, that's an invite. Dark wood frame, nice mattresses. I'm glad that we splurged a little for the higher quality... more bouncy more fun. Wait, that was dirtier than intended.

Oops.

I get to hang out with my dad while he's on bed rest for a couple of days. I also have to drive him to and home from the hospital. On Election Day. In San Francisco. In a behemoth motor vehicle.

Yah, so if anyone cares, I'm going to be in my original 'hood next week. But get yer lovin' early because I'm busy after Tuesday.

In happy news: I've been working on this project of getting the guest room ready for the holidays, and the worst bit is over. That being the mopping of the floor and the getting rid of the old couches. It's so pretty in there right now. Oooooooh... Nothing but a shiny floor and bookcase. Next step: IKEA! Need: Rug. Bedding. Curtains. Lamp. Nightstand. Maybe. It's gonna be so cozy in there when I'm through with it. God, I'm such a housewife. Can you believe I actually enjoy this stuff? All I need now is the valium prescription...

This is all in preparation for the impending arrival of my parents, my sister, and my brother in-law at Christmas. So I'm a little early. I can't help it... I get excited.

My very own B&B. What should I call it?

So there is weird sad news in my life, but I'm not going into that right now... total bummer for a first post.

Here's what makes me smile:

biking
mixed nuts
lentils
bad teen movies
laser pointers
chocolate
LEDs
christmas stockings
my lover

This is a partial list.

Obviously.

It's my best friend's birthday... smiles to him.
