Boo!
Mixed feelings.
Mixed feelings.
The musical is over. Last night was closing night, and today we struck the set. It's a relief to have more time on my hands (mostly to do homework... blech...), but I really do miss doing the show already. Sure, tech messed up fairly obviously at least three times every night and there was almost nothing to do backstage for this show, but it was still fun.
In my opinion, the painting aspect of this show may have been my favorite so far. The new seventh grade girls are possibly the best group (overall) that I've ever dealt with. Only one of the five is a problem. I have issues with the eighth grade girl sometimes, but we've sort of become friends this show.
In addition to the joy of painting, there's also the people to enjoy (yes, I do enjoy the company of a good many people, although I'm often sick of people as a whole). I was around the crew all the time, I got to socialize with my pit friends during intermission, and I had plenty of time to talk to cast members that I hadn't been around for a while. I even made a new friend of one of the cast members.
The hidden pretzel tradition continued, this time bringing an interesting quote that may result in me receiving yet another nickname. Since I had very few jobs backstage, I got some homework done, much to my relief. Well, for now it's done. I actually remembered my camera on closing night, so here are the pictures I took:
I can't resist making a report on the current weather here next to the Central Baptist Bog/Moor (yesterday it was a river, and on Tuesday it was an ice field). The wind is rushing so swiftly and with such force that our front door keeps flying open and our poor deteriorating white pine has lost another limb. The rain lashes our house. There is an occasional moan of thunder. I think the elements are protesting the fact that the air was 55º F today. On the whole, the weather has quite a mournful tone, and I love it. This has been Maria the funny-looking pretzel telling you about how I feel about the weather... again.

On the Weather:
Yesterday I witnessed waves crest against the current of the mighty Little Miami River, thanks to the wind. There was not, however, to my knowledge, significant loss of life or limb.
Also, the photograph does not appear to be working.
The photo is supposed to be a slideshow of images. I'll have to tinker with it later to see if I can get it to work.
We got more odd weather today. There was thunder and snow at the same time! It made me happy.
Thundersnow! I also was given that experience, and indeed a fascinating experience it was. I would quite like to see a violent Thundersnowstorm now.
