I spent the past two days hanging out with my little brother, Rustin. We ate wings, filled a kiddie pool by pouring water into it from a second story balcony, wandered around campus, played some frisbee, watched a play (Drawn to Water), and stumbled upon a random hip hop concert on the library lawn in the middle of the night. 'Cause that's how we do. It was a successful visit. We also attempted to combine his mad rap skillz and my ukulele playing. That was not as successful. I really don't know why I thought that would be a good idea...
Anyways, twas good fun.

After debating all year long whether to attend or not, I finally went to Shake and Bake today, the Hampshire club which consists of reading Shakespeare and baking/eating pie. This, as my friends from home know, is totally my thing. Sadly, I have not been partaking in much of my old quirks since coming to Hampshire, so it was fun to get back to that. We made peanut butter pie and read a Winter's Tale, which was a crazy high school blast from the past from all sorts of angles. The summer after my sophomore year I played Perdita in Winter's Tale, and reading the lines again was bizarre.
These are photos of me from that production of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, 2007. The boy is my friend Clark, who played Florizel.
I also ate a lot of peanut butter pie in my early days of high school. For those of you who went to BUHS, I'm sure you recall the Hideaway's pie, a tiny restaurant alternative to our cafeteria.
This afternoon was like my sophomore year in one compact vitamin pill for easy swallowing. Both nostalgic and disconcerting, all in one. But I guess that's high school...

For the past couple months I have been slowly chipping away at a one act play for a playwriting class I am taking. This evening, I finally finished the first draft. The ending needs work I think, but I am pretty proud of myself. Dialogue has always been my weak spot, but between screenwriting last semester and playwriting now I have started to consider dialogue one of my strengths. Recently, I have actually been considering becoming a playwright as a career. I figure little to no money will be coming my way no matter which of my passions I go for, so hey, I can choose whatever I want! With my one act, I've never tried playwriting before, let alone written a full thirty page piece, so I am quite pleased.

If I asked you what would be the worst possible time to start watching an addictive television show, you would probably say "Finals time!" You would be absolutely correct. Unfortunately, the powers of logic and reasoning are useless against the demi-god that is Joss Whedon. Thank god Firefly is only one season...
Actually, that is really upsetting.
Love,
