Spamalot Baby!

My not-so-li'l 7-year old Dollie is crazy about Spamalot: The Musical. Have we watched it? NO! But she got hooked when I kept giggling through the soundtrack (which I'd purchased @ Borders Whee Lock)...One day, I came home from rehearsal, only to see her lying comfortably on my bed, and watching a DVD.

Me: "Whatcha watching, Doll?"
Da Doll: "Tee-hee-hee!"
Me: *dash around telly case to see if she's watching some forbidden movie or something*
Me: "Omigod, is that Monty Python and the Holy Grail?!"
Da Doll: "*nod* Tee-hee-hee! *gnaws on smelly red blanket*"
Me: *FACEPALM*

You know you've boo-boo'd when you crack up while recommending to friends that they should take the White n' Nerdy Test, and your daughter shows signs of aceing that test by voluntarily watching MP&THG...btw, the test questions sort of lean towards the movie, as well as Star Wars. Fear that.

The WP Concert rehearsals are progressing in a slightly alarming way. Things are getting done, but the clock's ticking too fast, and time's seriously running out. Tensions are running high, artistic temperaments are beginning to fray, and panic is kicking it.

Ahhh...the adrenaline high from an upcoming performance. It just can't be beat :)

That being said, bonds of friendship are always tested in times like these, and a person's personal mettle is brought to the fore. Sounds poetic? It's not as dramatic as it sounds, and neither is it as pretty. It's life. And I think I'm going to miss all this crazed energy that's flying around once the show ends its run on November the 19th.

One year of accumulated work and emotional discharge is going to come to a head. Be there for it :)
