2) My scene study instructor is the second coming of Walter Matthau. Same voice. Same dry wit. Same overall awesome-ness.
3) Peanut Butter (along with practically EVERYTHING but mani/pedis) is FAR too expensive here. $5 a jar? Please. I'll make my own. Somehow.
4) Wallace Shawn, (aka: Vizzini in "The Princess Bride," voice of Rex in "Toy Story" and the principal in "Clueless," among other things) lives/does business in the building next to mine. Today whilst lugging my laundry bag back to my apartment, he exited a cab and walked right in front of me. Like the Minnesotan I am, I smiled at the stranger who happened upon my sad and sweaty state, and stopped dead, trying to figure out why I recognized this short, old man. He stopped, looked at me like, "Yeah, it's me," smiled, and walked into his building.
He probably thinks I'm some crazy bag lady. Wonderful.
5) Apparently I have one hell of a Minnesotan accent. When I talk in class everyone smiles/giggles and then says it sounds so "cute." ugh..............
6) "The Addams Family" musical is actually quite good, and very funny. Who knew?! And, I've now added a character to my "Please God, Let Me Play This Part Before I Die" list. It's the part of Alice Beineke - the mother of the boy Wednesday Addams gets engaged to. She's neurotic, high-strung and at the end, drunkenly unravels and has a great comedic song (and a great costume!).
8) I've sweat more in the past three days than I have in my entire life. (Dancing in a studio on the 4th floor with no air-conditioning on a 90 degree day = grossness)
9) My "Black Haines Underwear" neighbor had an ORANGE SHIRT on tonight (wonders never cease) and, from my astigmatism-ridden/semi-unreliable vantage point, he looks pretty damn cute!! So, right now I'm channeling Judy Garland in "Meet Me in St. Louis." And wouldn't you know, "The Boy Next Door" is in my song book. Suggestions on how to "randomly" run into this guy in person are appreciated ;)
10) Being surrounded by 13 other people who share my intense passion for musical theater is the best thing ever. However, the support of some pretty wonderful people back home is equally as great (of course this realization isn't "recent".)
