- The gorgeous weather we've been having: sunny and breezy with temperatures in the 70s and 80s.
- Relatedly: margaritas; bars with outdoor seating; beloved former student/bartenders who decide they're not freaked out by seeing you and another of their former professors out drinking, and send over a round of tequila shots.
- Finally dragging my over-the-visor CD holder out of the car, emptying it of everything I'm sick of listening to and loading it back up with music I haven't even thought of in ages. How could I have forgetten about David Bowie? Or Parliament?
- Deciding not to worry about whether spending my entire 30-minute commute with "Suffragette City" on continuous repeat makes me a bad feminist.
- On Thursday I'm off for a long weekend in NYC.
- This trip was originally timed so I could catch Theatre for a New Audience's Antony and Cleopatra before it closed--but somewhere along the line I also wound up getting tickets to see the Patrick Stewart Macbeth. Insanely, I'm now wondering whether I couldn't squeeze in Top Girls, too.
- There are three weeks of classes left. I wish it were two, or one--but three might just be doable.

You are only a bad feminist if you don't occasionally punctuate "Suffragette City" with "Rebel Rebel" and "Changes."
Wow, must go listen to Bowie now.
Hey - outdoor bars sound fun! Have a great time in NYC...
Btw, our mutual Early Modern friend (the more senior one who was already at The Dream Academy) said a very nice thing about you the other day...I said something about Flavia Fescue had a story of a student and she said, "Oh, I know Flavia Fescue! She's so smart and nice..."
This exchange was all, of course, conducted with total ignorance of your and my blog. It's so...clandestine! I luv it...
Good things indeed! I'm jealous about all that theater.
MW: Aw! I have warm feelings about her, too, though we really only know each other fairly casually, through mutual friends/aquaintances.
(And damn if she doesn't have her some awesome jewelry, too.)
Ooh! Ooh! Instead of Top Girls, see if you can get tix to *Drunk enough to say I love you?* Also by Churchill. It's getting great reviews.
For me? Pretty Please?
Sorry, Horace. I saw DETSILY (hee), and I have to say that it is not worth the $50 one pays for 45 minutes of theatre(! shame on you, Public and CC), despite a lovely performance from one of the actors. "Top Girls" is likely to be a much more satisfying choice.
Looking forward to seeing you, Flavia!
Cheers to margaritas in the outdoors and to the blossoming maturity indicated by doing shots with your former professors. Damn I wish I were doing that now. Would really help with this three week thing.
Maybe it just means you like mellow thighed chicks. Many a hard core feminist does.
things i am insanely jealous of:
tequila shots in outside seating at dusk (maybe i added that)
a long weekend in nyc
getting to see macbeth!!! i SO wanted to see this production...
Jack: I'm. . . not sure how to respond to that last bit. Maybe by saying, "only if it's you, dear?"
'Cept I think you love your rifle more than me.
Oh, Flavia. I'm blushing.
As to second bit though you are probably (unfortunately?) right. Damn rifles. They're just so lovable.
