adolescence of recrudescence

[recrudescence]

I rediscovered a bunch of poetry books, which has proven to be pretty preoccupying. I was planning on being productive this weekend, since I was in NYC last week--saw Altar Boyz for a damn good price, went in the Church of Scientology, had some excellent Chinese food, among other things--but nostalgia is not to be underestimated. Reading "The Waste Land" is a worthy pursuit, right?

If you like pretty-but-mildly-creepy songs and/or Sylvia Plath, have a song.

Fisher: Mad Girl's Love Song

And the actual poem, which I knew backwards and forwards when I was fifteen or so.

Also, Licia drew Olivia Wilde for my fake birthday. Go forth and pay tribute!

That's so weird. I also saw Altar Boyz last week! What night were you there? I was there Sunday. Wouldn't it be crazy if we were at the same show??

Whoa, that's really crazy. Sunday, 3pm. Was that when you were there? A girl named Jane in silver shoes was the one pulled up onstage?

Oh no, I was at the evening show at 7. That's totally bizarre though. Did you like it? I thought it was really cute and a creative use of a small stage/cast/budget.

I thought it was adorable and the boy-band stereotypes were actually funny instead of grating, which I'd gone in feeling a little worried about. Though I was kind of hoping for at least an attempt at a kiss. =)

I know, right!? I actually teared up when the gay one told the story about the bullying Episcopalians, and I was rooting for that pairing HARD. Which is ricockulous because it was just a silly song and dance!

There were a few facepalm-worthy moments in there, too, though. Did they have to have him doing pelvic thrusts and singing "get thee behind me" during the exorcism? Really?

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

They really did.

I also facepalmed. And the worst part was, my theatre companion didn't get it. He was like, "Why's everyone laughing so loudly?"

That's the one thing that bugged me the most, that sometimes the line between poking fun at stereotypes and just plain shamelessness got a bit blurred. But other than that, I had a blast.

Hiiii I love you!!!

That's probably my favourite Plath poem ever.

Hello there! I think "Daddy" is probably my favorite, for various reasons, but I still have this one memorized and I love this particular interpretation of it.

I also love Wuthering Heights, Female Author, Cinderella and Danse Macabre. I miss your writing my love. I am going to read some of your fics now. I am glad you are home and I'm thrilled about your new job. You deserve every bit of this. You're a wonderful person.
