Jun. 11th, 2007 02:24 pmSo. Funny story. Remember how, a few days ago or so, I mentioned this hugely loud thunderage? Well, a few minutes later, my internet box started making this noise it makes when it first turns on, this click thing. Whatever, I thought, it's rebooting or going off or something. Nope. It continued. And got faster and faster until it was this really loud trilling click sound, so I went to unplug the box and it was crazy hot. And dead. We plugged it in later that morning and took it apart and we couldn't even figure out what was making the sound, much less turn it off/fix the thing. There was nothing we could find wrong with it, beyond the annoying noise and heat and that it wasn't working.
So. After no internet for a bunch of days, it was no internet for a bunch more days, with only a few hours of internety goodness in between. Sad.
And I've been trying to set up our Shakespeare in the Park party thing (this year is Much Ado About Nothing), and couldn't email anybody (as I don't know most of their phone numbers, LOL) until when I got home from seeing the show with some friends of the family around 12am or so today for Wednesday, so that's going to be sad because prolly most of the people already have things to do (I know at least one of them does, so I'm actually considering changing the day, because she didn't go with us last year and I'd really like her to come). But it ends next Sunday, so that's not much wiggle room, date-wise. Add that to the fact that I wasn't feeling very social these last few days, and now I'm sort of stressed, because I'd talked about doing this all May with these people and I'd feel bad if it doesn't get together. But I'm more excited about it now, now that I've sent out the emails, which is good.
It was pretty good last night, which was lovely. I found myself really getting into the juggling show, playing along and all that, which made me laugh (the guy is excellent at it, trufax). And the women in that show need to stop being all cuddly, because my femslashdar was about to break. Beatrice was excellent, though. She made me realize how much Shakespeare reuses his archetypes, because she's v. v. similar to Katherine in Taming of the Shrew. Hero sounded like Kristin Chenoweth at times, which made me smile. I would have argued with some of the casting, though. A couple of the men weren't great.
We went with some friends of the family; Carol, who worked with my mum at her last school, Gloria, her daughter, who's a month or so younger than me, and Gloria's son--we've been all going to Shakespeare every year for the past three or so, which is fun.
And Gloria's son Isaiah is so big, he's gorgeous. He's 20 months or so, methinks, and so we were chasing the ducks and he was mimicking the dancers that performed as part of the preshow thing by running around in circles on the side stage and throwing himself on the ground, and it was adorable.
And the power's almost out on the laptop, and the computer monitor isn't working, so I'll have to stop here, LOL. Computers, I don't know.
