Story of the Day:
A little while ago, as I was sitting on my couch getting caught up on The Colbert Report, a young man who identifies himself as my neighbour knocks on my door and frantically tells me that he is cut and is losing a lot of blood. We are talking he is wailing and holding his hand in pain. So I immediately lay him on the couch, give him a damp towel, tell him to take deep breaths, keep pressure on...

Orpheus Descending
It is too late to be coherent, so this is going to be kind of stream of consciousness.
First of all, it was absolutely magnificent. I had no idea this play existed before a couple days ago and boy am I sorry now.
The production was part of a tour of Mississippi by the Infinite Theatre company in New York. All of the performances were done in churches, which I’ll take more about in a...

Orpheus Descending
More when I get home, but that was one of the most engaging theatre experiences I’ve ever had.
Intermission Two.
Actor just took off his shirt. Exceeded high expectations. Actor and Italian lady just had sex in the store. Tennessee Williams was gay.
First intermission for Orpheus Descending.
The lead actor is distractingly handsome. Like alarmingly so. He’s wearing a wife beater. Phew. Identifying heavily with Carol Cutrere at the moment.

Don’t get me wrong, the book is absolutely magnificent. Funny, smart, gorgeous prose, imaginative - everything you could hope for. But something about this book has me moving through it at the most slothful pace. I read books in a day, not entire months.
It’s like when you start on a roadtrip, and you know it is going to be fun, and you are excited about where you are going, but you...

As a related side note, everyone should go right now and buy that book of all of Tennessee Williams’ notebooks. This gal annotated the shit out of them and they are So Interesting. Go here. (I somehow managed to get a copy for like $10 at a discount bookstore.)

There’s, like, HOURS before the Oscars, and apparently I am (belatedly) actually getting into using Tumblr to talk to people, so, hey, let’s give this a whirl!

Now, during the day when I need to do something, I can convince myself that I can do it tonight during No-Internet-Time and use that as an excuse to be worthless on the Internet all day. This is no good.

Dear The Met,

So.
I told my parents I am bisexual exactly 2 weeks and 2 days ago. And it did not go well. I got all the typical Baptist stuff about how this is a choice and all that. Then beyond that, they told me they thought I was an alcoholic and that I was throwing my life away. I’ve told exactly 4 people about that, but for some reason I thought I should tell tumblr tonight. Probably because I had 4...
