I truly admire my kid. He's chosen a career that basically will have him auditioning time and time again, with a lot of rejections (it's a very competitive field AND the openings are very, VERY limited) but he is doing it and already putting himself out there. I know I couldn't handle it.

Today's show. Let me tell you, as stunning as you may think Lupita Nyong'o is on screen, she is ten times that in person. I am not familiar with how much theater work she's done but she was excellent in the role of A.

@bethinsac.bsky.social did you see?! $150 presale tickets to Downstate and then can purchase a $250 presale ticket to Small Mouth Sounds on a non weekend in a non premium seat. I guess they think people are dying to see Paul Rudd/Julia Roberts/Greta Lee/Martin Freeman on stage?! Insane!

Anytime anyone askes me about future plans in the next 5 to 10 years (I'm at that age where it now comes up in convo, especially since my kid is graduating college next May, and also b/c I keep talking about how I hope I get laid off), I show them this. Very, very few know or appreciate my answer.

I don't get mad at Republicans in power every time our 6-3 right wing majority SCOTUS chip away at yet another principle of what the country is supposed to be about. I DO get furious at the Democrats who squandered all the opportunities they had when they were in power to prevent this. #SCOTUS

Over on an Instagram account of there's discourse happening on childhood movies that traumatized you as a kid. Once again I must offer the 1974 Japaness animation of Jack & The Beanstalk. Is it any wonder I thought weddings were horrifying?

I know I'm spoiled by J going to college only 40 mins away, & that during the semester I at most go 2 weeks w/out seeing him, & he's spent every winter break & spring break w/ me, too. So him going away for 6 weeks again this summer is what other parents deal with all year...but I'm still sad.

Saw Fear of 13 today w/ Tessa Thompson (whose fan I've been since she appeared in the Cold Case episode "Best Friends" ~20 yrs ago) & Adrian Brody. No stage door today b/c they were prepping to go straight to the Tonys. A pity; they're both, especially Tessa, apparently very nice about doing it.

Optimism REALLY continues: booked [Jamie Lloyd's] Evita tickets for March '27. Very last row* w/ presale code was still a LOT. Also realized it's at the Winter Garden, same as where his MAAN is.
*J & I saw it 5th row orchestra center at West End last summer for less. Broadway prices, man.

I also am having trouble narrowing down from 9 shows to the (at most) five I can manage to see when I am back in London in July. Oh woe is me, my diamond shoes are too tight.

My optimism* apparently knows no bounds. Have booked to see [Jamie Lloyd's] Much Ado About Nothing (with Tom Hiddleston) and Galileo (with Raúl Esparza) in late November of this year.
*or is it my fatalism resulting in me spending savings left and right on showa and trips and concerts?! #broadway

I also made the slightly unwise choice of treating myself to a coffee drink which I thought sounded cool. I found out after the fact it had something like 3 espresso shots in it, which coupled with my adrenaline rush build up & release waiting for & getting my results literally had me bouncing.

I (finally) got some good health news today (versus the last several months where each appointment/test was , let's just say, not as good as I wanted/hoped for) and so for 24 hours I'm just gonna fully enjoy this burst of happy feeling without adulterating it with the now hourly onslaught of crap.

Between his roles on Dept Q, Shetland, In The Dark, & now Irvine Welsh's Crime, Jamie Sives may be my favorite supporting Britbox crime series character actor. I laughed out loud for a good five minutes for his scenes in Episode 3 of Crime. Horribly rude, seriously funny character in that show.

J's telling me about all dept. heads at the grad schools he's applying to (for trombone performance; it's traditional to take a private lesson with each to see how you vibe) and, yeah, he's a senior next year so no surprise he's talking grad school but then again how is this possible? #indenial

This is hitting all the spots and scratching all the itches in my brain so perfectly. I have other songs that do the same with their chorus or bridge or sometimes just in a 4 second span but there's only a very few where the whole song is giving my brain a deep massage.

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading.
It was worth it.

When I turned 21, I worried about being able to have a stable life in the US esp. after all my parents had gone thru to get me here. My kid turned 21 today & he's worried about being able to have a stable life in the US esp. after all I'd gone thru to be here. #sameasiteverwas #generationaltrauma
