I know, I've been AWOL. Life has been happening. More on that as I can face making posts. Hopefully this will jumpstart me....

Arabian Nights
I ushered for a stage performance of (selections from) Arabian Nights (Dominic Cooke), put on jointly by the Nora Theatre and Underground Railway Theater companies at the Central Square Theater. I enjoyed the performance; they did a great job with lovely costuming (it looked period, yet so comfortable; plus a ship hat that was particularly striking ( Read more... ) -
What I did on my winter vacation
This is the first year I've worked somewhere that has a break of more than a day or two at the end of the year. It was nice, though I didn't maximize my time as well as I would have liked: I missed at least five social gatherings I would have preferred to have attended, and didn't teach myself anything about Inkscape, as I had intended to do ( Read more... ) -
Mincemeat

Read recently
Only books that are first reads for me.
The Gate Thief (Orson Scott Card) This is a second book in a projected-to-be-three-book series, and managed better than most to be a standalone book with it's own story arc. The first chapter did a good job of basic recap without feeling too much like "the story until now", with the rest of the book focusing ( Read more... ) -

Theater review catch up
in chronological order
I've ushered for a bunch of plays, and since I've been slow about posting, I'm aggregating so I'll at least have something written.
In mid-November, I spent an afternoon and evening at three plays by Company One, grouped together as the Displaced Hindu Gods trilogy of Brahman/i, Kalki, and Shiv (all by Aditi Kapil). (I love ( Read more... )
