Dawn was my last title. I forgot that it must make no sense. Dawn is one of the characters in Chamma, a new character. She's got a twin, too, Dusk... and they see dead people...
Almost done with Tears of Artamon. Great book! I'll be so sad when it's over.
I found a version of Macbeth: the graphic novel. LOL. They actually use Shakespeare's words-but I think they should have made a choice, that, or the science fiction setting. Some things are not meant to cross certain cultural boundaries.
On Monday I move away to Gramma's house for a week while the wood floor is refinished. That's in Litchfield. Yeah. Medina. I'm gonna have some long drives ahead of me...
Nothing else new.

Dawn
The week from hell is OVER! Well, after half a month, one would hope...
Bio test: Yay! (don't think I need to elaborate)
Mom's fine.
And I am IN Cleveshakes!!!! Woo hoo! I'm in the Great Lakes Medieval Faire performing troupe, not the main productions of Taming of the Shrew and Richard III. Instead, I and four other actors put on abridged versions of Macbeth and A Midsummer Night's Dream! I'm Banquo, Lennox, Siward, and Young Siward in Mac, and Hermia, Fairy, and Quince in Mid. It's a hefty amount of material, but it's already proving to be excellent fun. Mid lines come more easily than Mac lines, since I was in a production before (as Hermia). Want to come see us? Of course you do! www.cleveshakes.org or www.medievalfaire.com.
I'm still working hard. Saturday night they let me be the only waitress, and I made $70 bucks... I guess that kinda makes up for today ($13.50. Three tables. Bo-ring).
I saw the 300 last night. Freaking awesome movie. Minus the dancing women parts. Love the "10,000!!!" part. Once you get that the movie is the story told by One-Eye, and not an fantastical historical account, it gets even better.
I've also been inspired to write. Right now Chamma is 470 pages long. SERIOUSLY. Another piece of the puzzle jumped into place--I'm getting really excited. Of course it's nowhere near done. I'm thinking it's turning into a whole freaking series.
Reading book 3 of the Tears of Artemon series. Since school ended--what, in the last three weeks? Less? I've finished 6 manga books and 4 full-length fantasy novels. Working on two at the present moment. I've got a dozen more checked out waiting to be read. Speaking of which...
I have my tea. I have my water. I have my snackie.
Time to read.

The "Week"
This has been the week from hell.
Friday: Car wreck. Pulled out in a parking lot, right into a parked car. It doesn't even need to be moving for me to hit it. Lucky, though. Insurance will pay for it, and it won't go up. Yet. That's for next time.
Saturday: Did not do so well on big final. Lucky, again. The teacher realized she put some questions on there that weren't supposed to be there--it was an online test, and she added some from the last test. So grade went up into happy zone again. *whew* But I didn't know this until later, so I went to work in a foul mood just to find my favorite co-worker making nasty comments about me every time I turned my back...
Sunday: Dad goes to hospital. Angina was bothering him. They poked around, didn't find anything wrong, so he gets sent home.
Monday: Biology test. Worth 40% of grade. Need I say more?
Tuesday: Woke up with cough. Had big audition--seriously did not do as well as I wanted. And then the car didn't start when I tried to go home. There I was, Carnagie and E. 82nd... without transportation... so I huddled by the audition room and waited for Dad to pick me up.
Wednesday: Shakespeare Festival is supposed to call me about callbacks today. *looks at clock* Seems like I pretty much knew it when I blew it. Just waiting to see what other interesting things might happen today... consider, for example, the fact that my mom is waiting for an inconclusive test to tell her that either they don't know if she has cancer, or that they know she does. Lovely.
So, how's your day? Hope to God it's better than mine has been. Still have the cough. *hacks* Probably will get brochitis like I always do, then be on meds for that... *sigh* Called off work sick. They'll probably fire me now, too. Oh, it's it a lovely day.
