tavares!<\/a><\/p>\nthere\u2019s also going to be another band, called hue something, i think, and there\u2019s going to be a guy named denny tario (sp?). amy said DENNY TERIO? FROM DANCE FEVER!<\/p>\n
amy used to have a disco band, have i mentioned that? i bet i did. and the fact that it\u2019s one thing i\u2019ll deeply regret all my life, not being here in spfld to see and hear her in her band. damn. i know they were fabulous.<\/p>\n
anyway, i\u2019m going to take some photos, so you can see just how fine we\u2019re going to look.<\/p>\n
tonight in class we had to read a short scene from our plays. i got to read a scene with another woman, and here\u2019s some classic grace irony – remember when i wrote about doing that audition, when i read a monologue by a depressed black girl, from the play “raisin in the sun?” well, the part i got to read tonight was a DEPRESSED BLACK WOMAN. i was reading, and i kept wanting to laugh, because it was so funny that so long ago, i attempted to read a portray a depressed black girl, and here i was tonight, living my dream of being a depressed black woman!<\/p>\n
i controlled the laughter, somehow. i sure did entertain myself, though.<\/p>\n
we didn\u2019t read a scene from my play,and i suddenly got nervous about reading it. i\u2019m going to work on it before class next thursday. i know he\u2019s not going to like all the stage direction i\u2019ve written, in; he keeps talking about the need to “leave that to the director.” but my play has quite a bit of physical comedy in it, and i have to write it down, or the person reading won\u2019t know where it is. i mean, it\u2019s an integral part of the story. i feel that we\u2019re going to argue about it, and so i was glad to put it off till next week. maybe i\u2019ll be less tired by then. (and WHY would you be less tired, anyway? not gonna happen.)<\/p>\n
tonight our professor was talking about love, i guess because that\u2019s what one of the plays is about, and he said something about “sometimes logic is more love than emotion,” or something like that. basically, about how powerful loving somebody with your mind can be, vs it being just an emotional thing with your heart. something like that. i did NOT say, what a bunch of hooey. <\/p>\n
i was all about the self-control in class tonight, as you can see.<\/p>\n
he was also talking about…well, i can\u2019t remember exactly what he was talking about; maybe it was about all the stuff necessary in writing a play? he said “I don\u2019t mean just rolling out the dough…roll the grain and grind the flour…to come up with the best biscuits in town.”<\/p>\n
hmm, it doesn\u2019t seem quite as dramatic here in print; i think that\u2019s because he has a great, deep-voiced and eloquent way of saying things.<\/p>\n
must…sleep…right…now…<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
