News dump!
Wow, was last night ever good.redknot is older now, and I got to hang out with a pile of excellent people, and shenanigans were had, and I didn't get home until four in the morning. Everything is awesome!
Before the partying, I saw Lars And The Real Girl withlittlehoudini. Aside from being the most outrageous example of constant boom-mike-in-frame that I've ever seen, it's a lovely film. I was expecting something in the vein of a smarter Weekend At Bernie's, which was way off the mark. It's well-written and spectacularly well-acted (how does one play a scene opposite a Real Doll without a hint of irony or self-awareness? I'm not sure I could manage it). It's also a wonderfully human film: characters are awkward, complex, desperate, and inarticulate at inopportune times. I heartily recommend it, particularly if you can mask off the top few inches of the screen to hide the microphone.
Tonight I'm going to see some friends in Sansanus Production's The Compleat Works Of William Shakespeare (Abridged). Tonight and tomorrow afternoon are the final shows, and it's well worth seeing. A pile of 37 plays and 154 sonnets crammed into two hours is not graceful, but it is hilarious. Oh, how I love my Willy.
There needs to be a DS night before the end of the month. Any preferences for which night of the week we do it? This dunderbus ain't gonna ride itself, you know.
Additionally,
1. My username is _____ because ____
The_Pirate_Show, because I liked the sound of it. Pirates are excellent, and I work in theatre. "The Pirate Show" was additionally the original name for what eventually became The Plunder Monkeys.
2.My name is _____ because ______.
My name is Scott Emerson. Scott is the middle name of both my father and his twin brother, and Emerson comes from my maternal grandfather who died before I came along. I like Emerson better, and have often contemplated using it instead of Scott.
3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
See #1. It's a frigging pirate show, people.
4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
It's titled "My Natural Predators (mostly ninjas)", but I can't imagine that anyone besides myself ever sees that. Constant vigilance is required to avoid unscheduled pokey shuriken death.
5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.
It's always been some variation of me in a pirate get-up, and currently it's the delightful portrait thatsay_it_with_pie made. Except for the busted tooth, that's exactly what I look like.
