Mary was the lead in the MCTC production of The Good Woman of Setzuan over the weekend. Six weeks of grueling rehearsal. She was incredible. Just magnificent in the role. Best thing she’s done to this point I would think.
She’s also been cast in the next MCTC production, The Imaginary Invalid by Molière. This is also (I believe) the first classical piece she's done. Third play she’s been in since we returned to Minnesota in September. Sheesh, it’s almost like she wants to be an actress or something?
It’s nice for her. She really deserves all the accolades being tossed at her feet these days. She's worked so hard for this. Of course everybody thinks she just came from nowhere. Typical. From the depths she came!
I've not been writing in the blog lately because I keep getting comment spammed all the time. It's really annoying.
My own personal experience with VD is a little less romantic.
Tom Waits said it best for me in Blind Love:
Now you're gone, and it's hotels and whiskey and sad-luck dames
And I don't care if they miss me, I never remember their names
They say if you get far enough away, you'll be on your way back home
Well, I'm at the station, and I can't get on the train
Must be blind love, only kind of love is stone blind love
Blind love, the only kind of love is stone blind love
With your blind love, oh it's blind love, stone blind love
It's your stone blind love
Now the street's turning blue, the dogs are barking and the night has come
And there's tears that are falling from your blue eyes now
I wonder where you are and I whisper your name
The only way to find you is if I close my eyes
I'll find you with my blind love, the only kind of love is stone blind love
The only kind of love is stone blind love
The only kind of love is stone blind love
With your blind love, oh your blind love, your stone blind love
It's your blind love, the only kind of love is stone blind love
Stone blind love, the only kind of love is stone blind love
With your blind love, the only kind of love is stone blind love
Stone blind love, stone blind love
I don't know what the hell happened? I know that it's haunting me to this day. It's stupid sometimes how very little is left of me anymore. I used to be so cocky. Oh well, tomorrow's another day.
Back in the day they called this Zipatone. or Chartpak Shading Film. It was the hieght of cool in the late 60's and early seventies in comic books. I've never seen it used like this before.
