Good morning, Kook. And everyone else. Off to class I go...on a Friday. Weekend's almost here! Not a moment too soon I say.

Good morning everyone. 
I very much enjoyed The Crucible. It creeped me out at some points, too. You know...like the hanging scene. That was creepy.
And the actors/actresses up there kicked some major ass. I can't believe what I saw.
I also saw a Tenor alum...her name is Michelle, and she played Maggie. Ah, we were so happy to see each other. It was nice.
Thank goodness that it's Friday, eh?

So I finished watching The Normal Heart last night.
I can't even put it in to words for you how deeply it touched me. I was seriously in tears for 90% of it. And the scream? I couldn't breath.
And that was only a bootleg. Cheese and Rice! No wonder he was mentally and physically exhausted after it closed.
Anyway, good morning!

Oh, was it?
I still haven't let go of that night. I can't talk about it very much in person, though. I get all... silent and pensive. I've probably only opened up fully and honestly about it to one or two people, other than in writing.

Wow. That is the performance of all performances. Seriously. I'm glad it touched you as well!

"He's very good at touching people."
See? Elphie IS all-knowing. She's never gonna live that down.
It changed my life -- I say that with very, very little exaggeration.

Knowing that you all have seen it, I really don't feel like I have to elaborate because you know how I feel.
He is so amazing in how he can draw people in. I was so connected and enthralled that I had tears streaming down my face and didn't even know when I had started crying.
And after "the" scene... I actually had to pause it and just catch my breath and think about what had just happened.
Of course I knew it would be amazing and I expected him to move me. But I don't think I expected to be touched so deeply. As soon as it was over I just sat in my chair for about half an hour just thinking about what I has just experienced. By that point I was so drained of emotions that I just went to bed.
It blows my mind to think that the same man who played Ned Weeks is playing Caractacus Potts. He astounds me.

Call me stupid, (or maybe I'll just blame it on the fact that there are a LOT of impactful scenes) but which one?
On a cryptic note, it's harder to experience that knowing what you know, isn't it?

The scene with the blood curdling scream. I never want to hear that sound again. And then how he went from that to the almost whisper of a voice. It was alsmot too much.
You know, it really, really was. I think that has a lot to do with why I really connected and BELIEVED. I really opened my heart to him and not just his character.

That sound.... I never ever want to hear that again, either. It made me cry, and it made me literally almost sick. It's amazing to me that his voice -- something that's usually so beautiful and wonderful could be in a second turned into something so utterly painful and heartbreaking.
I know it's truly not right to impose the actor's real-life being on the character, but this is the sort of project in which it's a bit impossible, especially being that those issues are, regardless, close to his heart. That's not something he hides. It definitely got to me even more within the past few months.
Anyway, I have to go babysit and hope that I feel well enough to chase a five-year-old around. Hopefully he'll occupy himself on the playground and I can just sit there and watch.

Oh my GOD, you guys. You're almost making me cry, and I've only read the play.
#4643
Posted: 10/7/05 at 1:18pm
Yeah, you're exactly right. It's kind of impossible not to. Which just makes it even more heartbreaking.
Have fun with the kid!

'"He's very good at touching people."
See? Elphie IS all-knowing. She's never gonna live that down.'
Wow, I'm all knowing! AND, for your 411, Miss Emcee, once I got over the awkwardness of that little conversation, I was quite proud of myself.
Hey, I made it into Nia's signature. That's big time!
The Normal Heart has changed my life, and in ways I'm not even quite sure of yet, I'm sure. I've only ever read it(twice), but reading it was almost as though I was seeing it performed. I honestly kept thinking "How would Raul play this?" I wish I really *could* see it. I've never, EVER read anything like it before. There is so much raw anger and...agony that it took my breath away. After finishing it, I kind of just sat there and stared. I honestly think it will comletely change my life in the future as well, if that even makes sense. I mean, already I'm doing an in-depth project dealing with AIDS and the theatre community solely because of this piece, and I doubt it will stop there.
I NEVER thought something could impact me as much as this has.

Urg. I keep getting disconnected.
More than one five year old? Or just one?
Oooh, sand and rain! Sounds like you had a blast.
Happy showering!
What ARE muppet tendencies, exactly?

Well, Muppet is a term for a psychotic fan. Not exactly psychotic in all senses, but it began as a term for people who go see things a million times. I wish QM was here!
So, I am not truly a muppet, because muppets are batty, but I have muppet tendencies.
