mmerriamWe went to see the premier of Mr. Marmalade last night. This play is...entertaining, humorous, and damned disturbing. And it's more disturbing the next morning, after the brain has had a chance to sort out all the subtext, which is frighteningly subtle and horrifying, while being wrapped up in humor and unsubtle antics. You may laugh in all the right places, but something inside you is squirming at the same time. If you live in or near the Twin Cities, I recommend it.
I opened up Last Car to Annwn Station yesterday. I was afraid I might be completely out of the flow of the story, but no, all I had to do was read the opening line and I was right back in it. I made some notes about the changed ending and outlined a little on how to get there. I need to check the library for a book I could use to help with some detail in the last scene, but I think I'm ready to start.
I need to read and critique a friend's book in the next couple of days. I printed a copy of the manuscript this week, and plan on reading it this Wednesday. I'll do my usual and let it sink in for a few days before I start giving feedback.
Tonight at Merriam Manor we are hosting a little post-Thanksgiving get together and game night with friends. There shall be turkey, and Munchkin, and dressing, and a Magic: The Gathering tournament, and cranberry sauce, and chess, and dinner rolls, and Kill Dr. Lucky, and apple pie, and perhaps Apples to Apples, and I shall make coffee with Bailey's and whipped cream and perhaps just a pinch of nutmeg, and it will be good.
