Saturday, April 28, 2007: Well, well, well.

Opening night went pretty well. We had more people than seats, and they did laugh. Of course, they missed half of the best jokes, but that's their problem, not ours. Afterwards, we got flowers from the tech crew--I'm not sure why.
In other news, I caught a mouse! Not just any mouse, though: this mouse has been living in my room for a couple of weeks, and I have been trying to catch it for nearly as long. Although I didn't catch it per se: it more so caught itself. Alow me to explain: While I was in bed, I heard some rustling in the corner of my room, which worried me, as it was between my Transformers and my National Geographics, both of which I wanted not to be damaged. So, I got a chip canister which I had ready for the moment, and went over to the rustling, only to find out that the mouse had fallen into Lucia's old habitat and couldn't get out! I was overjoyed. Now I have to figure out what to do with it. I think that I'll end up keeping it, but I'm not sure. However, I definitely won't let it go: that would defeat the purpose of me catching it.
And now for another one of my sporadic English lessons: Lesson Nine: Pronunciation of the Letter "a" before the letter "g." This, like "borrow," I believe is a local problem, but one which must be addressed. You see, here people will, quite regularly and intentionally, make the letter "a" long before "g." Therefore you get "baig," "faig," "draigon," et cetera, to the point at which you either burst out laughing or roll your eyes as soon as they start talking. Honestly, Brainerd, there is nothing special about "a" being preceded by "g," and acting like there is sound about as bad as pronouncing "r" as "w."

Saturday, February 24, 2007: I return.

I really need to start this thing back up. I think it's a problem of focus: I'm certainly on the Internet enough, I just don't feel like blogging while I'm on it. But my longing is enough when I'm not on to warrant actually doing it.
Well, for starters, our dog is pregnant. At first, we thought that she was just not eating her treats because she's weird. Then, over night--literally--she plumped up, and we figured out that that was morning sickness. We figure that it was this husky that has been hanging around here. We don't know when the pups will come, but I'd like to see the black lab/huskies.
In other news, on a suggestion I have joined the spring play. It's a comedy called "You Can't Take it with You," and sounded pretty good during the script reading--even for my three lines. Well, first time in theatre, what did you expect?
I've also decided to restart my Transformer collection. I had, to this point, thirty-five from my childhood--in various conditions and states of completion. I am now getting the Beast Wars tenth anniversary figures--fitting, since Beast Wars was where my collection started. I have Dinobot and Rattrap so far--a fitting pair--and they're pretty good. They each come with a DVD and a piece of Transmutate--I can't believe that they made a show accurate version of her before G1 Arcee--which were larger than I expected the whole figure to be. Sadly, they had no movement, and connected to her with non-ball joints--to sum up, it's a simple, barely possible display piece. I was really hoping they would combine to form a fully-articulated toy. Later, I'll get the world's smallest line. That should arrive on the twenty-seventh. I believe they're roughly the size of capsule toys.
I need to divide my time more evenly. I'm meaning to read a couple of books and start a comic, but I end up just playing games--when I'm not doing my homework, that is.
