War of the Worlds, October 13th.

[revington]

So after a very long weekend, they posted the cast lists for the shows this semester. I didn’t get into Urinetown, which is where I really wanted to be, but I am in War of the Worlds. I really didn’t take the news too well, and I think it’s because a lot of people had been building it up in my head, how good I’d be as one of the characters in there

can I tell you how amazing I think this is? Before I was a 9th grader trying to disect Macbeth, there was Wells, who dazzled me with his story.

Call it type casting...your journal brought this part of it to mind.
"I have already said that my storms of emotion have a trick of exhausting themselves. After a time I discovered that I was cold and wet, and with little pools of water about me on the stair carpet. I got up almost mechanically, went into the dining room and drank some whiskey, and then I was moved to change my clothes.

After I had done that I went upstairs to my study, but why I did so I do not know. The window of my study looks over the trees and the railway towards Horsell Common. In the hurry of our departure this window had been left open. The passage was dark, and, by contrast with the picture the window frame enclosed, the side of the room seemed impenetrably dark. I stopped short in the doorway."

Don't be disheartened. God, if I could be there to see it....in a heartbeat. It's not Urinetown....it's better.

WotW really does look to be spectacular...

There've been a lot of disappointments this year.

*hugs*

I am sorry sweetheart, I know how much you wanted to do Urinetown.

That being said, I think that WotW will be a great opportunity for you.

It's Sharon!

Hey--I've never done this, Brandon--it's kind of weird--can't anyone see your journal? Do you have another PAPER journal for the real good stuff! Oh--14 years--dogs--they break your heart don't they? (I think that is a response to an earlier entry of your journal. I held one of my dogs when she died (plus my mother!) It's devastating, that's for sure. I ordered Journey of the Fifth Horse -- so I can get it to your soon--lots of love
me

Oh, Brando, you should be so proud of the fact that someone wanted you so badly that he fought for you. The show wouldn't be shit without you. And I'm saying that as someone who loves to insult you. You're magic and I'm so, so glad to know you. Asshat.
