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....
