all work and no play makes me a dull girl.

i always did hate the way that saying lacked both meter and rhyme. which reminds me of the harry & david brand advent calendar my mom gave us. behind each door is a piece of very fine chocolate, and a little poem about approaching christmas:

It’s the first week in December

A time to remember for boys + girls.

Twenty-four days to go

Will we have enough snow?

Singing songs of Christmas cheer

Hoping all of Santa’s friends will soon be here.

today is the 12th of december and so far, only ONE of the poems has actually had any sort of meter. apparently harry & david are better at food than they are at composing rhyming poetry.

we are busy trying to build a $4000 set for $1200, and keep a day job, and strike another show, and find a summer job, and prepping to stage manage a new show and seeing some free plays and entertaining andy’s parents and trying not to spend money we don’t have. also it is very brr outside. 10 degrees brr.
