waterlogged shakespeare

and lo, we have borne witness to torrents the likes of which these lands have not seen in eons!

well, not quite. but we have been having some rather impressive downpours, complete with rather impressive claps of thunder, one of which literally caused me to jump out of my seat last night.

that, and half the new york subway system flooded, causing a severe backup in the flow of traffic. as if it didn't already take long enough to get to the bronx from the financial district.

but i digress.

so last night was my first rehearsal for 'much ado,' and i'm afraid that i have no witty and incisive observations to give you on the subject, other than that i feel utterly alien but it's a really nice group of people. and half the cast doesn't know the names of the other half. which is perplexing, to say the least. but i am enjoying myself thoroughly thus far. even though it took me till nearly midnight to get home.
