I saw a Wednesday matinee, and there were five understudies on.

As far as the understudy thing goes ... I don't know if they did this on Broadway, but for the tour there are 2 totally seperate groups of "main" performers. It looked like some of the ensemble must be the same each night and the band other than "Billy" seems to be every day, but the main characters rotate nights so they get an off day in between almost all their performances. I would think that would keep the understudy count down, however, we did have 2 tonight. One guy danced locally for awhile so I wondered if they let him on tonight for that reason. The girl was the dance captain so she was really good!

Yeah, they did that on Broadway.

Good idea of them ... I can imagine there's a lot of injuries.

Ok I guess I should sleep ... I couldn't justify taking 2 days off after evening events this week so I do have to get up at 5:30 which is in way too few hours.

I love Pi Day, and realize that's such a geeky thing to say. In high school we had contests to see who could memorize pi to the furthest decimal place and got extra credit for making t-shirts with the pi symbol and ate pie. Umm... yes, needless to say I went to a math/science/technology magnet school thing, and they're crazy.

We didn't get Pi Day. We had Mole Day though. That was better. We made little stuffed moles.

Mole day is fun stuff.

What's Mole Day?

Posted: 3/14/06 at 11:36pm

oy, moles.

What day was Mole Day? 6/2? I should probably know this.

October 23rd...from 6:02AM until 6:02PM...*geek*

I'm confused.

Chemistry.

All I remember is that Avogadro's number is 6.02 times 10 to the 23rd power, and that has something to do with atomic weight.

I went to a magnet school that focused on the humanities, so instead of Mole Day or Pi Day, we got Vocabulary Month. For the entire month of March, a vocabulary word and its definition would be announced on the loudspeaker in the morning and at the end of the month we had a school-wide quiz on all of the words.

Are you serious BG? That completely rules!

I'm just happy that I remembered Avagadro's Number.

I was a loser who liked Chemistry.

Posted: 3/14/06 at 11:45pm

In high school we had contests to see who could memorize pi to the furthest decimal place

We have that at my school as well. In 2000, someone at my school memorized 5,005 digits of pi and was a guest on the Today Show.

I thought Chemistry was easy, but probably because we barely skimmed the surface in so many areas.

[Bohemian1232]

5,005?! That's insane.

[sweetestsiren]

Posted: 3/14/06 at 11:47pm

Mandi -- you haven't had organic yet. *loathes with the fire of a thousand suns*

Heh, that's awesome, Lexi! I think the most that anyone did it to at our school was 60-something.

3.14 is enough for me, I can't imagine ever wanting to memorize over 5,000 digits.

Yep Amber, it was pretty cool. I always found the quizzes pretty easy since I already knew most of the words anyway from reading so much.

Of the high school science classes, Chemistry was the most interesting, even though I've forgotten most of it and my teacher for the spring semester was an absolute moron. Earth Science was too abstract and boring, Biology had too many yucky moments, and Physics was pretty much like math, only easier than the math course I was taking at the time.
