Well, Earnest is over. It was a good run, and I was delighted many friends came. I think the run went well, and I got some flattering feedback (though, of course, what other kind would anybody give me, huh?) It's so strange to say to myself, "Self, what you think about the play and the performances are correct, whether other people agree with ( Read more... )

But in recent years my front teeth have been moving forward, and I want to stop them. Hence: braces. They got put on Thursday. But now my teeth are sore, and my ( Read more... )
