Accomplishments of the day

I really feel like I got a lot of things accomplished today. I started out in a rather lazy mood, not particularly wanting to do anything except read a book. However, Homeworkadite (the Greek goddess of doing mundane school assignments) paid me a visit and got me motivated. I only have two more reports to write for my Children’s Literature portfolio now. I can’t wait to be finished with it, but I did put a rather nice dent in it today.

I also got some bills paid, read a little bit out of my Paglia book, and studied some Russian grammar and syntax. Not too bad for a Sunday.

Johnny Appleweed

Last night I went down to see the New Line Theatre production of Johnny Appleweed. It was the world premiere of the new musical comedy by Scott Miller. I knew it was going to be good, but I didn’t know it would be that liberal. It was absolutely incredible! Johnny Appleweed is the new hero of America, traversing the country planting and sharing the wonderful weed that is marijuana. He thinks that the current President of the United States is really screwing things up for everyone, and plans on going to the White House to express his discontent.

Along the way, he runs into Mark (an uptight Republican struggling with his sexual orientation), Suzanne (a lesbian thespian who’s ticked at her girlfriend), Fannie Mae (a twice-divorced born-again Christian), and none other than Jesus himself. They all go with Johnny on his journey to confront President Bush Birch about the current state of the Union. 🙂

Unfortunately, the show’s initial run is over now, but I sure hope it makes a return in the near future. I would love to see this awesome political satire again…and again…and again. Yet another stunning New Line production!

Engine update II

My engine has been removed and the new one is going in. I got the PS return lines and the Kpro is being sent to the shop today. That means, if all goes well, I could potentially be done with the swap tonight. If not, though, it should be done by Monday.
