Woke up this morning and went, "oh shit". My nose has been running all day and is a bit tired. Unfortunately I had 3-5 rehearsals for Narnia, 5 audition for Hamlet (next semester) and "5-8" (read, until 9.30 at least!) callbacks for Macbeth. Meh. Sickness and sitting about without much to do but not being able to leave in rehearsals/callbacks=not too fun.
On the other hand, rehearsal for 1984 last night went well, am happy with the people and energy. Got choreographed for three of fifty million fights for Narnia. Picked a book at the library called "Dangerous Misconceptions" because it was a cool title. It essentially is a historical look at birth control coupled with eugenics (guess what the author thinks about both?). So far at least the population and health aspects are interesting, as well as a look at how terms like "family planning" came into existence and the interactions between church, nation and race.
I'm having trouble thinking coherently right now so I'm going to have something hot and go to bed. I really should do laundry tomorrow...mmm we shall see.

Soft Night
silent graffiti
sprawling words stretched out on cream pink walls
spattered from on high by the seagulls
that freewheeled and caw-cawed through aharsh pink sky
still graffiti
a motionless oasis
in violence, silent. calm,
but eagerly longing for discovery:
notice me!
here! I am out of place
no whitewashed walls
a monument TO MAN’S INGENUITY
no pyramids of the metropolis
only the loving work of boys
somewhere between testament and confession
they who posses nothing
but are the property of adults
spray themselves out on other adult property
this is mine! until the paint
is covered by another layer
dogs piss at a fire hydrant
silent graffiti
crackling ground under Nikes
and from
far off
the whirr of sirens.

So sorry you're under the weather, honey. Hope you feel better soon. I made a beef-barley soup today -- your dad's in Mexico for the week. I had some for lunch but it was a little -- how do you say -- meh? Anyway, I added a little wine, hoping that will make it better. Wish I could share some with you! It might help your cold.
See what happens when you run around with so much, your poor little nose follows!
You can always turn your underware inside out and get twice the use...
Love you.
Seriously, take care of yourself! And be grateful you're nowhere near USC right now-- 130 students here have fallen ill with this freak highly contagious gastrointestinal virus.
No fun, man.
If it hangs on, don't tough it out and keep on going. Go see a doctor and make sure it isn't a strep throat. College types are always getting those. Yes - we can and all will laugh at Art's hypochondria - HA HA! - now do it anyway.
Ha, ha. (I do find relief, however, in not always HAVING to be the mother! Because Art will do it for me!)
