whoda thunk it?

still, tonight was hellacious, with a capital H which rhymes with absolutely nothing whatsoever.

i'm off to bed, but wanted to stop by and say i'm still alive and am immersed in two different hells, tech week and grading. figure i might as well be completely stressed all at once, get it out of the way. plus, i prefer the tech stress - at least it's a pain with an end in sight. grading....i'd like to think it will have an effect on my students, but i know the majority look to see their grade and pass over the (helpful?) comments i took the time to write.

don't grade bitter, thurm.

speaking of bitter, i'm disappointed in the ticket sales for chess. let's just say it's not going well. seriously, this is going to be an amazing show and i'd like to take the "hey, their loss if they don't see it" attitude, but t'would break my heart to play to seats half full, not because i want everyone to see me, but because i honestly believe this is a great show. i know i'm going to have a great time doing it. i just want others to have a great time watching it.

off my soapbox.

must go to bed. little wound up from rehearsal, though. need to put my brain into neutral a bit before i try to go to sleep, otherwise i'll lie there frustrated that i cannot fall asleep. bad way to start my trip into dreamland.

see you in my dreams (but only if i'm lucky)...
