Coming down and climbing up

This may sound weird, but after posting something every single day since November 1, I’m finding that it’s almost harder not to post each day. I need help. :P

Anyway, I saw BYU’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream tonight. Really well done and really funny. (I know I’ve said this before, but I still keep forgetting how funny Shakespeare can be.) I loved the brilliant set design, with the characters climbing up from panels in the floor. I’ve got to use something like that in one of my plays someday…

Since I seem to be changing topics with each paragraph, I think I’m coming down with something. Actually, nix that “I think” — I have come down with something (a cough is all it is at the moment), with the only question being how far down I’m coming, and for how long. Hopefully it’s just visiting. (It really is bad timing for me to get sick — I’ve got to train seven new students at work next week. If I’m going to get sick, why can’t I at least schedule it? ~sigh~)

I’m addicted to italics and parentheses, I’ve noticed. ~bigger sigh~

Oh no! I hope that’s not MY cough you’ve acquired! I only talked to you for like two minutes!

Ben: So long as you’re feeling random, I’d love to know your thoughts on this: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/02/technology/02yahoo.html?_r=1&th&emc=th&oref=slogin . :-)

Good luck with that cough. They can become nasty quite quickly.

I’m going to have to see Midsummer’s Nights Dream. It’s one of my favourites. Of course, I did play Lord Theseus back in the day. What is it with me and pompous or royalty roles (I mean, Mr. Collins….~shudder~).

Good luck with your training next week (and with battling your cough). I might have to hire someone soon (since two of my students are graduating and one doesn’t seem to ever come in).

Haley: Grr. :P

Sally: The cough is worse, and the chills are creeping in (along with a nose that keeps running away), but hopefully this is the tail end. As for the Microsoft/Yahoo deal, ~shudder~. I haven’t kept up on it for the past few days, but I really, really, really hope it doesn’t happen.

David: Haha, no comment. :P Training is going well in spite of the fact that almost every time I open my mouth, I sound like I’m cracking my way through puberty or standing on the verge of tears. I just need to take a day or two off to rest. I don’t know how I’ll actually do that, so I may have to wait till the weekend to get better. (As if I had a choice about it. :))
