i'm watching eight women (not to be confused with 8 1/2 women, which i saw in italy and will forever think of as 'otto donne e mezza' with pachinko parlor sounds in the background). so adorable! i want the little girl in green, in my pocket. and oh the adorable songs.


interview next week at the harvard university press for the publicity associate opening. i'm very excited, yet trying to stay quiet---schlepping half a mile down garden street in interview clothes in this heat is not appealing.

wow...that's really amazing that you saw her on stage. and in oleanna!! kirk has mentioned that play to me, isn't it some weird mind-fuck about a girl possibly faking an accusation of rape, to her professor? he said something about impressionable young drama-queens in theater depts always wanting to direct/star in that play, but the subject is controversial enough that it never got approved (in texas). there is a restaurant near us called 'oleana' and i always think of his stories of over-dramatic theater college girls when we drive past :) possibly after all that grueling emotional work in shitty undergraduate productions, they are now living quietly as waitresses at oleana! ha. just in my imagination.

oleanna! i read that my sophomore year in some 'society and literature' course at fairhaven. all the feminists were stuffy about the rape accusation, and all the guys were stuffy at the portrayal of the professor as a great big ass. we watched the movie, which is considerably easier to understand, as the play is written in conversation style, and unless you're used to it, it's difficult to follow and get the passion behind the words. (if i'm not mistaken, the movie was directed by the writer, i think.) anyways. i think oleanna should be required reading/watching for all college students, especially those who are all uppity about student/professor relations (of any kind.) it really just doesn't let you get away with any quick 'oh i found the answer' kind of thought. but disturbing all the same. yes. good play.

(five days left, are you ready for a drink? i'll buy you a gin and tonic.)
