The Play's the Thing

This Friday is our one-act play district competition.

Let me back up a bit.

First of all, we had a great trip to Louisiana. High points included shrimp etoufee at Copeland's, building a bulletin board for my niece's seventh birthday, and catching up on ALMOST the entire third season of Battlestar Galactica. Low points included DRIVING about 1500 miles round trip, and (d'oh!) getting my mother-in-law's computer completely fouled up with spyware (and not just the fun kind, mind you--the dirty pictures kind that NO mother-in-law should ever be faced with.) I tried everything I could to get rid of the stupid toolbars and pop-ups that I (stupidly) put on there, and three days later we got the system back to SOME semblance of stability.

Definitely sucked for a while though.

Anyway, we're back, and teaching biology and chemistry are on some far, far, mental back-burner. I'm the play director, and this Friday we compete. We have a great show, and the cast and crew (mostly girls, plus one (lucky) token male) have really put a lot into getting things ready.

I just wish we had more time, more practices, more confidence...

Oh yeah, it's official. Video games ARE bad for you.
