Call Ghostbusters.

Yeah, but do decongestants have a catchy theme song?

For a poem, call Arthur Guiterman

They might be. He's good at rhymes.

I f*cking hate my family (I take out all my anger on this thread).

I just want to say that digital macro is the shiznit. I got some great photos today, thanks to the wind dying down a little. I went out a little too late to get some blooms in full light, but there's always tomorrow. And the weekend. Weekend, how I want thee.

But you know what the problem is with flowers? They always turn to face the sun. You want to photograph them in full sun, because the way the light hits the petals makes the photos about twenty times prettier than ones in the shade. But when you sit in front of the blossom, you get in between it and the sun, which means you cast a shadow on it.

So taking a photo of a flower involves crouching on the ground to the side of it, doing a contortionist thing, and somehow getting your camera to face the blossom (which is about 5 inches off the ground) without being able to tell what the heck you're doing, because it's too low to see the viewfinder. And you don't want to cast a shadow. And then you look at your photo, realize the composition looks like it was done by an addled armadillo, and snap it 5 more times before it comes out remotely right.

And then you don't get any homework done. Oops.

We advanced to the four round for the NYBA's Mock Trial competition. This hasn't happened in a long, long, long, time. <3 :) It's 'cause I'm such a hot witness, and because M&M spend all day mouthing objections to our lawyers while waiting to be directed and crossed.

I can't stop eating Girl Scout Cookies!

Someone please remove these Thin Mints from my sight!

The midwest is... different.

The farthest off the coasts I've ever been is Virginia, I think. That's also the farthest south I've gone. Well, other than San Diego. One day I really need to do the clichéd cross-country road trip.

Okay, I'm not one of those people who hisses, "Do a search!" at every person who posts a redundant question or topic (even though I usually think it, internally). But the number (or maybe it's just the persistency) of "Should I go see...?" threads is getting ridiculous. Especially when people are bumping said threads to get more responses. Should you see something?? How the hell do WE know?? Do WE know your personal preferences, theatre likes and dislikes, personal, financial and time constraints, etc? No!

Are people so codependent that they NEED a bunch of strangers giving thoughtless, "Sure, go for it!" or "No, it's awful!" for them to make up their OWN minds on whether to part with a hundred smackeroos on the show du jour?

Can we pick out your theatre attire as well?
