My College Theatre Experience so Far

Eleemosynary: First major role. First straight play. The easiest part was spelling big words.

Peter and the Starcatcher: I had to fake a backstroke in a tiny space, and also practiced kicking my boyfriend.

The Bald Soprano: I was barely needed at rehearsal, but still had more costume changes than everyone else.

Sweeney Todd: I sang nothing but Green Finch for 5 months, but I learned how to shoot a pistol. A fair trade.

Proof: They took away all of my fucks, but I just played what I always am inside: a depressed bitch.

Crimes of the Heart: All I did was take measurements and help with the one quick change.

Should Capitalists act like Socialists?

If capitalists act like socialists within a free-market system couldn't we have the putative benefits of socialism without the bureaucracy, rules, mandates, a superfluity of laws, and whatever else I'm not thinking of right now? My hope with this "capitalists act like socialists" idea is that capitalists should knock socialists out of the park with their altruism. Charity should be top of mind for capitalists. Capitalists should popularize charities to the point where governments have no reason to expand nor for much of the involuntary situations to occur. Aside - P.S. Does anybody here know how to get into Liberty for North Korea or to volunteer for them. How does one check if a charity organization is legitimate?

A Perfect Mouse Trap

When we arrive at Richland early enough i make the coffee at Melanie’s office area, then head over to my own building. This morning one of her co-workers motioned me over with a PSST: they had a small tub, filled in the bottom with a two- or three-inch layer of multicolored spheres—jelly beans i took them for--& nestled among them, one small mouse, forlorn as a castaway. After ascertaining this wasn’t some high school kid’s project or an office mascot, i found a small bucket & placed it over the mouse’s vicinity, then carried it outside & used the bucket to release the mouse on the grass. Feeling the spheres, wet or slippery, with my fingers, I realized why the mouse hadn’t been able to free himself: every effort of kicking against this surface, would simply absorb the energy at once. He could not even manage the slightest hop.

 And so i have discovered the perfect, live, mouse trap.
