What I Did With 2 Months in Alabama

Hello all--

Miss me?

I missed you!

I've been in Montgomery, Alabama, interning with the Alabama Shakespeare Festival for 2 months and some change. In that time, I have made 7 new friends, read a stack of paperbacks (seriously--like 8 or so), and performed umpteen times as Kanga in "House at Pooh Corner." Yes, we included a snippet of the Loggins & Messina lullaby of the same title, sung sweetly by my fellow interns Kevin Callaghan and Corey Triplett. I like our version better than the overly-mellow '70s hookah-smokin' version, which ends (did you know this?) with an unresolved chord and gong. Loggins? What is the meaning of this? Messina, I suspect this is your doing. Loggins, O he of the "Kick off your Sunday shoes" fame, would not steer my ears so wrong.

I'm digressing. I really HAVE missed you, blogolytes and blogolettes. I will try to post again before 2011.

Anyway. "House at Pooh Corner" was lovely. I'm pretty proud of us, and proud to be part of ASF.

Instead of trying to explain (it would be futile) the sublime joy of roommate/fellow intern Caitlin McGee's and my inter-show ritual, I figured I would just out us: we are SUPERMODELS. With TAILS.

I'm hoping for a sequel featuring the "Peter Pan" cast. :)

Watch this space. But not too closely, as you might be here for a few weeks, and I don't like the idea of you being lonely.
