Cut for length:
So I start work on Tuesday, not Monday, at 1:45pm. I'm doing "neighborhood outreach," which is door-to-door. From 2pm-10pm. Does anyone see a problem here? I mean, yea people will be home, but most don't like to be bothered after dinner.... I know my mother'd probably curse someone off (hyperbole) if they tried to get money from her at night...... though this is just Tuesday. I'm not sure if this is the procedure every day. We'll see.
I'm canvassing to get "Guardians of Liberty." AKA people who give monthly donations of like $20 or whatever to ACLU. I'm not sure if money is going to the organization in general or to efforts towards a certain cause - I'll ask how that works? - but my "rap" (what I tell people) is about getting the Attorney General to appoint someone to investigate all of the torturing techniques Bush tried to cover up... and also clear things up so that things like that don't happen again, etc. I have to explore the ACLU website so that I can more than what the "rap" says. Like, what if someone asks what water-boarding is? The "rap" doesn't say. (Yes I know what it is.)
So I'm very nervous.
I had a great past two days, though. I stayed at shinjokitty 's apartment in NYC. We goofed off and watched silly things on youtube and I saw the play she teched for, King Lear. It was extremely well-done, and the acting (and tech!) was great - I liked Lear and Edgar in particular. Cordelia was fantastic, too. And everyone, of course. And the choreography! The fights were incredible. The hand-to-hand stuff wasn't as impressive - you could tell they weren't making contact, etc - but the swordfighting was fantastic. I was sitting next to this little kid who was so amazed by everything - "WOW THAT GUY HAS TWO SWORDS!! - it was very cute.
My favourite aspect of it was that it was a "panorama theatre." The play was outside, in Central Park, and the audience was instructed to move around different areas of the Park from scene to scene. Which admittedly was very tiring, with my leg, but it created a really awesome effect. At the very end, before the huge battle, the audience "ran to war" with the people fighting.
Oh, and when one of the sons (forget which) cried, "He's dead!" I cracked up. (in my head) I blame this video. "He's worse than dead! HIS BRAIN IS GONE!"
Yeah, so Mari and I started marathoning The Original Series this morning. Aka at 1pm. So we only got through an episode and a half, because it took too long to load, but it was fantastic. I watched another episode on the train, which was the best. And watching it with Mari was great. XD We watched it treating K/S as canon, which made it so much better. Yet not all that different. :P We also got to talking about if there were a "Haverprise" and a "Mawrterprise," what the crews of each would be like. And a specific SPT-prise crew..... this is what we came up with:
Kirk - Kathy D
Spock - shinjokitty
McCoy - tianar
Scotty (who can't be drunk!tianar ) - regendy
Uhura - bayoumaharajah
Chekov - Michelle C
Sulu - Rachel G
Every alien ever - charlieee08 and everyone not listed here
Ok, I also need to get back onto a regular eating schedule. I've been eating really badly lately. And I can't...... develop anything. At least my leg is pretty much all better?
Oh, also, there was one post (cap; flocked) at debunkingmale that kinda rubbed me the wrong way, so I commented (shinjokitty helped!), but I was scared that it might make some people angry, but it was actually very well-received. Yay! Which makes me feel a lot better.... I'm used to only doing those kinds of replies on AVEN, and I still get nervous about other communities/environments. It hit kinda close to home - because I do that way too much. Not with regards to breaking down privilege, but just.... speaking in general. To everyone. (My therapist called it my super-ego working overtime. Lol for Freud reference.) So it was partially advice to him and partially advice to me. *shrug* But yeah.
Also - Dear George. Please stop trying to crawl up the side of your tank. You're a turtle, not Spiderman. At least I'm assuming so. Does this mean you want food? (Tank is up against wall, food is on window ledge, window is above the tank, George is trying to climb up the wall below the window.) Urgh.
EDIT to get rid of implied sexual activity with Mari? Which obviously doesn't exist; she's too busy with Madi and Kathy. ;) *is joking, of course*
