Truthful Tuesday

  • Hiya, Tumblr. I haven’t felt like updating much lately. School has started back up and I’m taking twice as many classes this term, and the ones I’m taking are much faster-paced than last term’s, so I’ve been working in the graphics lab nonstop. And I’ve also been feeling bitter and angry about everything lately and that never goes over well. Not that it would have any reason to.
  • I’m watching Smash now, and I fully know that I should have been bristling with anticipation for months but I just haven’t. I love musicals, but part of what I love is the characters’ alienating tendency to randomly burst into songs and huge dance numbers. TV musicals always have to frame the songs in reality. Reality has no place in musical theater. (I should love Glee for this reason, but Glee is infuriating for many other reasons.) Anyway, tl;dr, I’ve been burned before. Smash is pretty enjoyable so far, but so was Glee’s pilot. Mostly it makes me want to write a musical. Pru and I haven’t touched The Future, Soon in months and I’m starting to realize that I’ll never finish anything if I’m depending on her.
  • I’m not even going to pretend that I’ll be at SNARK this year. I asked for a trip to New York for Christmas, and put an iPod touch on my list to make the trip seem like a more appealing gift, and I got the iPod. I’m very thankful for it, but I would have vastly preferred New York. As it stands, I have $50 to my name, and unemployed people don’t get to have fun.
  • Oh hey, random song! And it’s decent! This show has potential.
