So I decided to just make a scattered list of complex sentences and sentence fragments to cover anything interesting that may have happened in my life since my last post; I will, of course, miss many of the more interesting points, because of my eccentric memory ("eccentric" stems from the Old Norse for "swiss cheese").
I went to see "The Secret Garden" at GVSU with Amber and Caroline on Amber's birthday; the acting was mediocre, but the singing was superb, making the show well worth seeing (though not as good as CU's).
I've committed to directing a scene for Willows this year, but have taken the underhanded step of casting myself as Richard III, thus beginning my path to villainy (the wooing of Lady Anne scene, for those wondering...now all I need is a Lady Anne); would anyone honestly expect me to direct someone else playing my favorite Shakespearean role?
Continuing in the theatre vein, I saw the One Acts at CU this past weekend, which included pieces directed by old chums Michael Coon (a bizzare but wonderful bit of Japanese parable theatre) and Josh Middleton (an incredibly well written bit about three chimps trying to write Hamlet); much joviality and reuniting with old pals, and so forth.
Also went to see West Side Story (I realize this makes me look incredibly imbalanced, but I'm not...well...not on this point, at least) with Katie; it was...pretty good, and free, which is a good combination (and hey, *I* want to be in America, too).
Jane and I justified seeing "Nanny McPhee" by going together; it was well worth it, and as an added bonus afterwards we solved most of the great conundrums of life (except why it is on button up shirt collars that one side tends to curve down, while the other side curves up...does *anyone* have lead on this one?)
I got a Calvin Library Card, which is good, because they have more books than CU, and don't currently have a prize out for my scalp because of late fees...yet.
I finally bought a Bartlett's; 17th edition, because I didn't like the gold leafing on the 18th.
I'm struck by the fact that none of this can be particularly interesting to anyone, but I am so deep in blood, and all that...
Still no car; first car, then apartment.
Sela Ward is gone from House, God be praised.
On Thursday, I get to go to a psychiatrist (as part of the Mill Steel hiring process, to weed out the psychopaths [at least the less than clever ones], and those who do not play well with others); I'm hoping for the whole treatment, with inkblots and my childhood and everything (sadly, there is no couch, I've heard). I may have to resist the urge to go "Will Hunting" on him.
Ok. I'm stopping. I was going to post this, and then start on a more meaningful entry, freed from mundane considerations. But it's a bit late now. So...um...right. Raincheck?

Sounds like you've been taking in a lot of theatre and theater lately. Haven't seen a stage play since this fall...some Neil Simon something or other.
The mystery of collared shirts will likely never be solved...that's why most of us take refuge in the occasional t-shirt.
Amen. A moment of grave silence for the complete idiocy of bringing Ward on the show in the first place.
Sad to report that even our hypothesis on the collars of button up shirts is sadly off base, since on my girl-cut shirts the flop is not always on the right side, meaning that the placement of the button is not central to the mystery. Nor is the seam direction important.
In case you were still losing sleep over the mystery.
