85 on my “horrible” psych midterm. Maybe I shouldn’t be such a fucking whiner, but I honestly thought I did bad! It musta been luck. At any rate, I am fairly pleased.

In other, not so new news, Nick Cave is amazing. One of the most lovely, unique, but identifiable artists going. From one of the best love songs ever (Into My Arms) to the darkest, creepiest, most intense, violent and disturbing songs (”And the walls ran red around me/A warm arterial spray” yeccch!). More than any artist I would define his music as Adult. Not that it’s all inappropriate for children, but it’s just very grown up, and takes itself very seriously. His songs take you on journeys, and he tells stories with a lot of them, which is something that is lacking from much of music today. He’d make a very fine modern travelling minstrel. Good stuff!

and last but Noooot least! Lysistrata is just about ready to run steaming and screaming into the stage at Robinson Memorial Theatre… our first run is in less than 12 hours, in fact! It will land with a big thump, a sonic blast, and free innuendo for everyone who attends. And many other lovely things as well. I hope it is a success. It’s fun having lots of people laughing at me, I guess. So I hope y’all can come see it, and those who do, I hope you are very entertained! I’m also now in a position to speak very highly of The Soldier Dreams, it is definitely a bird of a ridiculously different feather, but also definitely very good; so if you can see it, I recommend it.
