List-less

I am way behind on everything right now (with no excuse—but for a pathetic lack of willpower).

Catching up on my listservs.

Newhilleast…DC_Theatre…directors_lab…BariItaly…dcdrbr…ncsadramagrads…peace_cafe…

And the recently added:

Blah-ty-blah, type, type, chatter, chatter.

I love the idea of a neighborhood listserv. But sometimes they seem better in theory rather than in practice. The Hill East group was occasionally helpful, sometimes irritating, and most frequently, kind of pointless.

Still, I figured I’d join the H Street group, you know, just in case.

I want someone to tell me when I can go to the Florida Markets and what I should buy there. They are just a hop, skip and a jump away now, and if I cooked, man? If I actually bought produce, and like—FRESH FISH and stuff? Wow, I would be all over that place! I’d be cooking exotic dinners every night! I’d have you all over and I’d make manicotti and get a decent Chianti, and we’d have super garlicky bruschetta and I’d make fresh cannolis for dessert and you’d all be so very impressed.

Yeeeaaaah, But I don’t really cook.

I did make cannolis once. It was a painful experience.

Other than that, I have been helping out with the production of 1776 being put up by Keegan Theater. Yes. 1776. The musical.

Remember, I like musicals, so don’t roll your eyes.

It’s actually quite a lovely show, and I have had a blast working on it and meeting yet another swath of people in this community.
