I'm ready for him to get a new show. I just enjoy seeing him live on stage far too much. But I can't keep seeing Chitty. It's time for something new.

PJs! I've already showered and dressed. Blah. PJs would be nice, though.

My shower is FINALLY fixed, so at least I can shower without having to dread the experience of being clean.

I want something crazy intense. Being at the Public reminded me of that. A lot.

i would LIVE in my pjs if i could. i had my nice little chitty break when i saw sweeney...that was nice change. i'm gonna miss chitty though...and not just for Raúl...i'm gonna miss being able to go to the theatre and have an innocent, fun time. no real cynicism involved, as much as i love me some heavy drama...

Hooray shower! I didn't know it was broken. But I'm glad it's fixed!

I think a play would be fantastic!

I think I'm seeing Chitty with Elphie and Alix next weekend, and then that's probably it until closing. Something tomorrow night, I have no idea what yet... and then Sweeney Thanksgiving weekend (I hope! I have to go to the box office). So, I'm picking up speed.

LaChiusa's new musical is about a Latino family, but I'm pretty sure it's all-female, alas.

I want Raul to be Stanley in Streetcar so bad. He would be *amazing*. But with last seasons revival, it's gonna be a while before New York gets another.

Hmm, maybe he could do it in Philly...

not gonna lie...i'm probably gonna see chitty a couple more times before closing...can't help myself! but i don't really have anything else on my list that i'm dying to see. i'm seeing Rent with Benzy on Friday, so that'll be a nice change for me too. :P I'll probably catch Chitty during Thanksgiving, but I don't know if I'll get to it again before closing..aww, I'm gonna miss the Chitheads! hehe.

I'm going to go once more this week. I really want to see Janelle as Jemima again. I don't know if I will hang around the stage door, though. I would love to see/talk to Raul once more before I leave the city, but I don't want to be there TOO much. He's been far too kind to me already while I have been here. I'm content.

I'll definitely be there for closing and maybe a few more here and there. We'll see.

I think I'm off to catch a cab to 46th.

Oh, he'd be so hot as Stanley, I'd die.

[thetheatrekook]

Posted: 11/7/05 at 2:02pm

Stanley...meeeeow. We're watching that now in Directing.

When it gets closer to the date we should figure out who all is going to closing night and have a Chitty farewell partay. :)

My brother wants to come with me, which would hinder my party attendance. And my socializing. My parents probably won't let him, but whatever.

Well, I know I'll be there closing night. My roomies will all be home so I'll have a 3 bedroom place to myself. But, I have yet to make definite plans for the actual New Year. I need a party that night because I'm not too big on the whole Times Square thing. Too cold. But I live next to the CDE so no loud parties because she's a bitch (and doesn't enjoy it like Kooks!)

I can't remember the last time I had an enjoyable New Years' Eve. Last year, I was hanging out with some close friends, and we went to see a movie. My parents didn't want us on the roads late because they were afraid of drunk drivers, so we went to a late afternoon movie, and then were going to order take out and lounge around for the night. I thought that going early would be okay. My parents called, I told them. Not only did they yell at me til the cows came home, but my father (my parents were at a party at our neighbors' house) drove to the movie theatre and picked me up to bring me home, then at my mother's command put me under house arrest to punish me. And that night was the only night I was going to get to see many of those friends all year. So I sat home, ate junk food, watched TV and played on BWW all by my lonesome. My parents called me around 11:00 and felt bad, telling me that I should come to the party they were at; the "adults" were in one place, the kids in another -- their kids are the same age as my brother and I, and some of my friends were there. Little did my mother know that they were drunk off their asses. She felt so bad that she basically forced me to go, and being that I don't drink, I did nothing but feel really uncomfortable, with my friends throwing up everywhere they walked, or trying to shove drinks down my throat. One of my friends was so drunk that he basically tried every sexual advance he could think of. Not that he's not that way when he's sober, but this was way worse. NOT a fun night. And in years' previous, I've always had family commitments that have never been much fun.

So, suffice it to say, I want to do something fun this year.

I'm there. I'm not sure how I'll get there or where I'll stay (it's New Year's Eve, probably the only available places are in NJ!) but I have to be there. Raúl is worth it.

Ugh, all you people sitting around in your PJs- I've been up since 6:30! I spent my morning wiping 2-year-olds' noses; ten kids and six of them had colds!

On the bright side, I found out today that I'm not allowed to work if I ever get sick, so I don't have to worry about suffering.

Everyone has colds, oy.

Posted: 11/7/05 at 4:12pm

Ouch, Em. That's horrible. Well, this year will be better because I say so. I know everything, right? You'll figure something out and have a great time. And if you just want to run away from the parental units, I have 5 free beds. Just in case.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/7/05 at 4:15pm

Of course. I bow down to your genius, you know that!

I'll just lure Raul into Chitty, and we'll celebrate together. Me, Raul, the car and my black strappy dress. That's right.

I'm hoping to spend the majority of my break in NYC, but I can only stay in my dorm if I'm working or something, I think. I have to find a reason to stay. I just can't stand being home with nothing to do. I don't have a job to go home to, or anything, so I'd just sit in my house.

I think I'm the queen of boring New Years'. I spent the millineum playing Biblical Trivial Pursuit with my parents. Last year, my brother and I watched the MTV New Year's party while the rest of my family slept. Woohoo.

I want to do something fun this year, especially since I'll be in NYC and 400 miles away from my parents.

I live through you, Em. I'll also want details.

[thetheatrekook]

Posted: 11/7/05 at 4:26pm

well that settles it. we'll have to do something. SOMETHING. I am Imperial EMPRESS of boring New Years. I think I even went to bed before midnight last year. Ugh.

Even if we can't do something AFTER, we should all grab lunch or something! Funness. :)

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/7/05 at 4:37pm

Oh, it'll be good. Even if the car's made of plexiglass.

I just died from laughter, Em. You rock the cradle...umm, chitty...of love!!
