Mostly I've been avoiding work today.
Most of the weekend, actually. I didn't feel much like working, to be honest, for a variety of reasons.
At least we managed to get a reprieve in my theater history class, on the paper deadlines, I mean. But it also means he wants me to completely redo everything I've already done - which admittedly was bullshit done at the last minute. He'll get last minute again this time, but hopefully a little less of the bullshit and a little more tailored to what he wants. You know, since I'll basically be switching the focus of the paper as per his suggestion (which was based on something I touched on late in my outline, to be sure, but is not what my focus was going to be - but it will be something approaching a real paper this way).
As for la chica, I didn't bring things up when we had dinner last night, as I had considered doing. In some part, I'd like to make my case that I'm not some weird obsessive dude, that I really did move on and then the little things added together to make me see an interest from her which rekindled my interest. But I will likely let it be. Incidentally, we had a fairly stilted conversation, in fits and starts. Ironically, it was a better conversation than I've had with many of the friends I've had much longer recently. Again though, I've been worse, though I can't say I'm jumping for joy.
The show is running smoothly, though to very small houses.
The plotting (for politics of campus student organizations mostly) was lots of fun today.
I ordered some books from Barnes and Noble online today with a gift card given to me at my graduation party by some of my parents' college friends. About time I used the damn thing...they start taking cash off after you're inactive for a certain period of time, and I was close to that limit if not over it. In any case, I ordered a copy each of the play I'm thinking of directing in the spring (Copenhagen by Michael Frayn), the play my scene for class is from (Dinner With Friends by Donald Margulies), and another play we did in acting class (The Last Night of Ballyhoo by Alfred Uhry).
