My other big pitch for why "Winthrop is Marian's son" is a good adaptational choice is that 'Till There Was You is a really beautiful song that's just kind of hanging out uninterestingly filling time before the climax. Imply that Winthrop is Marian's son and put him on stage for 'Till There Was You! I'm picturing her dancing with him on her shoes. She spends the beginning part of musical wanting to be readmitted to the social life of the town, which has rejected her, she's ashamed. Now she's singing to the kid she was ashamed of, there was love all around but I never heard it singing, till there was you. Much more interesting scene!

People are getting wild about wedding venue booking. My sister is going to shoot a wedding pretty soon and they booked her for the wedding more than a year ago. Not even that they got engaged more than a year ago, they hired the videographer more than a year ago. My father asked my mother out, dated her, bought a house with her, proposed to her, built her a deck and married her on that deck in a span less than the time between this couple booking their videographer and tying the knot.

God. I am not going to buy the extremely reasonably priced lot of vintage Pendleton wool skirts being sold near me. I have one nice plaid wool skirt, which is the correct number. I do not need sixteen additional plaid wool skirts even if they are $8 each

Enough of a creature of habit that when I walked into the coffee shop near my office at lunch the barista called "we don't have any croissants" across the shop as soon as I opened the door

My coworker was saying that he has quite a bad visual memory, and so do I, and I was joking with him about how easily I get lost and he looked at me very seriously and said "well today they'd misdiagnose us both with autism" and I was kind of thrown and instead of explaining his comment he told me that he has a lot of problems with loud sounds but it's just a migraine thing. I refrained from telling him that I also have migraine problems with loud sounds, because I didn't want to and it doesn't matter. And I get the sense from this very strange conversation that people have proposed to him before that he's autistic, which I assume is people being ableist about the fact that he's off-putting, but I feel like his irritation at this should not have landed on me

Ugh. Seven months into the new job and it's fine. It's a good salary, I've gotten pretty good at it, my coworkers are unpleasant and weirdly into describing how much money they're losing at sports betting but mostly unobtrusive. Absolutely no legitimate reason to think about leaving before the one year mark but it is BORING and BADLY RUN and there's no potential to do significantly more interesting work unless I want to become a software engineer, and there's not very much math, the thing I just got an MA in. I took the job because I liked the company and I was getting twitchy about the job market and from the outside it seemed like the group was doing more modeling than it's actually doing, and now I am finding myself looking at my resume, which is so dumb. This is me being a stupid self-indulgent hedonist who doesn't like being bored.
