Love's Labors Lost

So I went to see Shakespeare tonight with friends. We had fun and yet...definitely not the perfect evening we were hoping for. For one it's hot and humid and just plain gross out (and going to drop nearly 30 degrees for graduation tomorrow)

We went to the Salaam (that's the Moroccan restaurant I took you to evil_little_dog) it's very good, home made stuff. It's never speedy at any time of the year but it was freaking slammed. The waitress decided we needed an HOUR between ordering drinks/appetizers and ordering dinner. We were needless to say pissed. It was too late to go elsewhere on a friday night. We had given ourselves 2 hours before the will call and in the end we had to bolt our food. Can you say COM has to eat slowly or her gastric paresis will act up and make her feel like her stomach is in a vice and make her puke. Yeah...I still feel like hell hours later.

I got shawarma which was delicious and finally tried turkish coffee (alsowa wanted to) it was lovely...and for that outrageous price for a shotglass worth of coffee it had better have been delicious.

We returned to the car and gassed up the meter but you can ONLY pay for 2 hours at a time. This becomes important later.

The play was very well done. For some reason they updated it to the WWI time period so that's what all the costuming was (they were mentioning somethng about the parallels of the politics between the original time period, 1916 and 2010). The actors were good. THe play was fun...but they didn't cut it. It's over 3 hours long...in a theatre that was so hot the audience literally reeked as we left. It was like being locked in a hot car in Florida. So between the heat and my stomach and my back from sitting for 3 hours I wasn't happy but I did enjoy the play, in fact the science threesome really enjoyed it while the english threesome didn't.

Got back to the car (after blowing off our going out after the play plans since it was after 11 and it's an hour's drive home and graduation tomorrow). Yeah 2 hour meter, 3 hour play = one 10$ ticket. Asshole Athens.

My back is KILLING me. I wish I had just gotten a doctor's excuse to get out of graduation tomorrow instead of sitting on a folding chair on the lawn. Wonders if I have any percocets left.

oh and remember that book launch tomorrow. Notice I mentioned graduation. didn't realize until today they're at the same time. I iz a genuis. GAH.I feel like such an ass.

Virtual book launch

yes that's right, BOOK LAUNCH

Stop in and read an excerpt of my story (Jana) and all the others in this collection of hot threesomes that I forgot to remind you all of this morning. I hope you enjoy it if you stop in. Please do.

Graduation Day

It was nice and cool which makes those black gowns livable. But it was windy. Even with four hairpins my mortarboard blew off more than once. Some of the nurses I think will be really good graduated today along with three of my favorite students and another who seemed highly attached to me. It'll be weird to not see him in my office all the time. The other 3, all going to OU, two to medical school, one to physical therapy's doctorate. They'll all do so good. I'm proud of them. (and no, they're never the ones whose answers have appeared here.

Went to the after party where in a lab/something or other and a lab/chow both tried to sit in my lap at once. We discussed the weird and wonderful of OH, ghosts and past lives and planned supernatural trips. That's the fun thing about my school, the profs are odd. We're still kicking around the idea of starting up a shakespearan company on campus now that we no longer have a fine arts major and an empty theatre.

the book launch is underway so yay. Now to keep myself from hounding around looking for reviews next week. I think I wrote the only fantasy piece in the series.

L was talking to me in the office after graduation and i was messing around with dragon cave and FINALLY caught a sunsong
