Last night I finished Save me the Waltz. Which means this morning I picked up Louise de la Valliere--which of course I got into immediately, so there MAY not be another blog for a few days while i read it.

Re: Waltz, it's not the BEST novel by ANY means. And its style is almost irritating. But there are passages that breathe life into it that have made it the cult novel that it is. Zelda's sometimes odd choice of words allows us to see every bit of her in the sotry. It's a novel of interest if not one of love.

But Dumas is calling me back...

LATER

Alright. I lied. Dumas has managed to bore me for a moment...I think it's simply because I'm distracted by a brilliant performance still floating in my head. Les Miz is always beautiful, but from THOSE seats? oy. magnificent. Thom and I were so enthralled, minus of course the woman directly behind us who was crying the entire time. Her sobbing reached our ears before Fantine even died. And of course her sobbing was HILARIOUS. By the end of the show i was shaking I was laughing so hard and trying to keep it in...poor drew's up there dying and i'm doubled over laughing. I felt so bad lol but the woman would NOT stop. But at least I stopped cracking up at that one man's TB cough...The whole cast seemed to have stepped up their game w/ the return of Gary and Lea...it was fabulous.

I still haven't heard back about the job. Which is fine. I've got enough to keep me busy, and there's alwasy something else.

I'm debating whether or not to work tomorrow. I should, because I'll need the money but on the other hand, I could really sue time to sleep and clean my room.

This station is desperately hot. Screw saunas, ride the 8th avenue line. They should seriously hand out towels when you exit the train. It's really quiet here, though. For the most part. It's nice to be quiet and alone w/ your thoughts even if the pages are sticking together from the humidity.

Association is a nasty monster who preys on normalcy and dines on innocence. Now there's a mantra. Huh.

The local should come soon or I'm gonna melt. oy. oh here it is. thank god.
