LOL Make me come back here once I'm about to leave, why don't you?! (Ebonic - I thought you were gone!)

Immigration - because of my criminology degree from a reputable university, and my good interview, I was in. All the applicants need to write a screening exam too, which I guess I did well on.

Production Assisting - Well, I used to be an extra, and I made friends with a producer who gave me tips on how to send out my resume and make connections in the industry, so it snowballed from there. Plus I had to be willing to suck it up through some crappy gigs to make those connections.

Rockclimbing instructor - My friend was assistant manager, I used to climb a lot, then I worked there almost full time last fall and this spring. I left when I did full time with immigration, and now that I've scaled back immigration, I do instructing in my spare time.

Theatre/film reviews - It's the paper for my university, and...well...I guess they like my writing style, so I cover most of the big productions that come into Vancouver, and I get to interview some of the actors too. It was just me approaching them and then getting work afterwards.

Nothing too spectacular. BRB!

Oh oops, I thought Ganesh was that Indian goddess with about 20 arms...my whoopsiedaisy. So who is that goddess, Geisha?

No a geisha is a Japanese...equivalent of Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge.

She also has an elephant's head.

Anyway, my bed is calling me...hopefully Taye will be there waiting. So 'night all!
And Tiff, don't start that Shanghai kid story without me!

I won't, Ellie! It's all yours! (It's not as gross as these ones, and it might not be funny if not told in person, but we'll see!)

Bye y'all! I've gotta start my essay!

[Delphine]

I finally read your summary, Gov! Thank you very much, I got a clear idea of what was going on! (Confused though - what is the Balladeer's purpose before he becomes Booth? Is he like Emcee?)

How is everyone doing tonight?

[GovernorSlaton]

Posted: 11/8/04 at 9:23pm

The Balladeer sings the ballads (Ballad of Booth, Ballad of Guiteau, Ballad of Czolgocz) and narrates the story. He pretty much just watches and comments before he's turned into Oswald.

[Delphine]

Posted: 11/8/04 at 9:28pm

Is he the NPH character?

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 11/8/04 at 9:29pm

Yup.

How does he "turn" into Oswald?

[GovernorSlaton]

Posted: 11/8/04 at 9:36pm

During "Another National Anthem", the assassins start singing all together, and The Balladeer appears, and starts singing about cheerful, optimistic things, a stark contrast to the dark message being given by the assassins. In a very cool bit of staging, the assassins turn, walk slowly, pushing Balladeer farther and farther upstage. The audience eventually can't see him anymore. The assassins turn around, sing a bit more, and then drift offstage. The Balladeer appears when the assassins move from in front of him; he is now only wearing a white t-shirt -- his demeanor has changed, and he has been transformed into Oswald.
