I think one of the worse things about doing Grease is the songs. There just so singable... so I've had "Magic Changes" going on in my hed for atleast an hour.

I won't even go into the snaping.

Yesterday was one of our doubble show days, so after the manintee we had a little cast party. And one of the chorus girls mothers made food for us. ACTUAL FOOD. Like lasanga and vegtable soup. Not pizza.

And then a friend and I watched most of the Princess Bride, one of the best movies (and books!) in existance. Because she never saw it before. So everytime someone came up to the tech booth they quoted some lines at her.

One person even quoted a scene. Other than me.

I just stumbled upon 20 pages of the Princess Bride that I hadn't read yet. Well, it wasn't excatly the Princess Bride. It was the explination for why he was only including the first chapter of the sequal, Buttercup's Baby. I'm not sure why I had skiped it, since the asides and prefaces are nearly as entertaining as the story itself.

But now... I knew that Mr. Goldman cut out large chucks of the story. But in the explination I read that the original story by S. Morgenstern is about 1000 pages long. The adaption, minus everything but the footnotes, is 242 pages long. In other words, he choped out about 75% of the story.

So now I have somthing else to do: try to hunt down a non-adapted, translated (the orginal was in Florin.) version of the Princess Bride. Yay.

I'm at the momment trying to figure out if there is an actual S. Morgenstern or not.

In other words: let's all disreguard that last post, shall we?

Aparently there is no such person as S. Morgensten.

Except I'm playing the Grand Game. So there is.
