This morning I finished a game of scrabble with Damien and won by a
smidgeon. Then I rode into town really fast and got a handful of
exercise. Now I am stuck inside while it's really nice and warm out. You
know in summer when in the morning you can feel that it's going to be a
warm day? Well, that's today. It was over 20 degrees by 7:30am

Want. To. Be. Outside.

Last night I watched the Crucible with Damien, done by the Burnside
Players. I was revoltingly tired and kept nodding off, which was very
embarrassing. The stars of the show were the actors who played the
Procters and the guy who played the second minister. The latter I swear
I saw playing Carrot once in a Discworld play. Anyway, the show was let
down by the judge (who kept forgetting his lines) and somewhat by
Abigail. Abigail was good, but needed to be far better. She just wasn't
that convincing. Maybe it was just that performance, because she
certainly got great reviews from other shows. Or maybe it was just me
expecting different things from my interpretation of the text. I saw
Abigail as more consistently hysterical, whereas this girl was more
choppy about it. I guess that's a valid way to act it. Really, she was
good. She just didn't make my blood run cold.
