Updating the 101 in 1001

It’s time for an update of my 101 in 1001!  I’ve actually gotten several things done lately:

• My dad, my aunt, and I saw Sir Paul McCartney in concert and it was AMAZING!!!! (#11)
• I went and had a fitting and did a little shopping – Atlanta has great shopping! (#14)
• I filed paperwork for my LLC and became OFFICIAL – more details on that in the next month or so. (#25)
• When Daddy came up for the concert he brought me more things from my parents’ house, and I’d say that aside from some childhood memento type things, I’m pretty well moved out now. (#56)
• When we moved in, I totally rearranged my books so that they truly are according to the Library of Congress system. (#61)
• I joined the local library! (#75)

Lots going on, hopefully I’ll actually complete the list this time around!

Theatre in 1956 (Blogathon ‘09 #3)

This important work won both the Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1956.

The Diary of Anne Frank is the stage adaptation by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett. of the book The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank.  At a time when America was still raw from World War II, this brought to light a completely fresh perspective, and created a work that would compel school children for years to come.

This post is for the Blogathon 2009! I am blogging for The Actor’s Fund. For more information about what I am doing, please click here, or you can sponsor me!

“Quoth the raven, ‘Nevermore.’”

Why am I quoting Edgar Allan Poe?  For 2 reasons!  First of all, today is the bicentennial of Poe’s birth.  He’s one of my favorite authors, and I never grow tired of his short stories (maybe a little of his poems – I’m not much of a poetry girl).  So, happy birthday Edgar Allan Poe!

The other reason is because that is exactly how I feel.  Late Saturday night/Sunday morning (around 4AM) I wound up in the hospital.  It was either food poisoning or a really bad case of the stomach flu (which is what they are inclined to think it was).  I didn’t get sick until 10PM, but I was so dehydrated by 4AM that I had to go to the hospital.  They told me that technically, an adult shouldn’t be able to get as dehydrated as I got, so it’s a good thing I went!

Anyways, I never want to feel that way again.  So – “Nevermore!”

I really appreciate all the dedication of the people who put together this alternate for us, and I know I still had a lot of fun and met some cool people!  Thanks for a great day, and I’ll see you next year (if not sooner)!
