Results Are In

I made a bit of a spectacle of myself this morning...

I kidnapped young Mark after class last night (which was a great class, by the way. Among other great stuff, Gosh did a monologue from Hamlet and Matt, who is playing my son in "Quandary", did a fabulous monologue from I don't know where. I get very excited and start jumping up and down when the kids do good work. I'm not one for delivering cool critiques!) So Mark and I spent approximately five years at Civic Video choosing dvds - I got Cate Blanchette stuff, Mark got some Al Pacino and some anime. We lay in front of the heater with the dog watching movies till we fell asleep, and then woke up and continued watching. I got a message on facebook that exam results were in, and that's when the spectacle began.

I went to the uni online learning site and downloaded the results - I got 35/40. I started jumping up and down and dancing, then Mark threw fuel on the fire by showing me the daggiest dance steps EVER - like "mow the lawn, mow the lawn, drive the bus, drive the bus, and sprinkler, and sprinkler" - I'm sure you can envisage what these look like. Anyhow, the dog now thinks I'm completely mad. Actually, he already thought that. Then I had to go play songs from "Chicago" (which makes Blazie howl...literally...) and "Cabaret" and sing along. Real loud.

What a relief. I can move on to other stuff. Next on the agenda is my interview with the department of education. But what I'm really excited about is "Quandary". AND I had an idea to turn a screenplay I wrote into a stage play. Ugh! So much to do. I'd better not waste my semester break!

But right now I'm going back to finish watching "Angel Heart". After watching "The Wrestler" the other day I had a hankering to remind myself what Mickey Rourke actually looks like.
