Stop Blogging! Learn those lines dummy!

why am i blogging? why am I blogging?
I have apes tonight and am going over dance, song, scene and lines. I am getting sidetracked by costumes.

I am very excited to the show tonight.
our challenge was to write a 5 minute scene, leading up to an existing musical song, and then sing the song and do choerography.

I think Peter and I have something really great.

But damn, it was like birthing a baby to get this idea.

I think it plays to both our strengths, shows a fun side of ourselves and hits areas that we both wanted to be (silly, fun, goofy dancing).

So, here we go apes!

On another note, that Green City market in Lincoln Park on Saturdays is one of the favorite things I've ever done. There was fiddling, crepes, and I literally heard a non-British person say behind me in line..."I'm going to get a crepe with tomatoes." She put the emphasis on the first syllable, and pronounced it "TOE matoes" instead of "ToMAToes". I expected her to call her aunt an "Ahnt" and say "Febrary" instead of Feburary like we all say it.

I don't get off on correct pronunciation because I have trouble with it. I blame my bum ear and years of speech therapy to try to improve it---but get over yourself. You come off as pretentious to me.

Anyway, off to learn some lines!

Wish me luck.....two lost souls....

Margaret and John's wonderful wedding was last night.

Out on the water, they got married 'neath the bridges and towers of downtown Chicago.  

Sun, water, river, so lovely.  (I think I overuse that word).

And I'm also excited to be participating in the Neutrino Project...we opened last Wednesday at comedy sportz. I'll be in the show every other week.

Finally, I need a job!  Please let me know if you have one for me!

Much love--
Becky

Games

wowzer. I just got back from a game night, and man, it was a GOOD one!  I love freaking playing games so so so so  much....the randomness of the luck, the strategy you chose to use, the intensity in which you embark, the competitiveness that comes out of me---I am completely and utterly jazzed and pumped up.

I love games!

And another game night on Saturday with the college friends.


Bring it!
