Le weekend

For the record, I have an occasionally beautiful husband.

An unusually varied weekend. Unfortunately, it began with the discovery of a site for online Patience, so I wasted quite a bit... Beast, Boy and I went up to Lincoln to visit Pa. He's progressing, but slowly, however, his concentration was much improved over last time so we had a nice long conversation.

Straight back home and almost instantly out again to a barn dance with my fellow thespians. Boy was unimpressed at being dragged out *again*, but actually I think he rather enjoyed himself. He danced very nearly every dance, and not only managed it all perfectly well, but was actually grinning a bit. I have done my best to impress upon him the utility of learning to dance in a way that does not involve free-form limb-flailing (because if he is like his dad he won't be very good at that!), and I think the notion is taking root.

Auditioning on Sunday, a surprisingly satisfactory session, and quite entertaining. We haven't cast every role, but it was a most promising start. W S Gilbert really was a genius. It's so damn funny!

I have now added trumpeterofdoom to the very select list of people I've chatted to using LJ's IM service. I can see the appeal. Why are not all of you people signed up? Let us band together and waste more time!

And a small aside on the subject of celebrities - does anyone else long for a celebrity breakup which is not accompanied by an announcement of enduring friendship, but instead by passionate declarations of loathing and a determination to scratch the ex-significant other's eyes out if they meet again? I mean, wouldn't that be more *fun*!

Right. Back to my Lance and AJ, who are misbehaving, but not quite as I have in mind. Pesky boys.
