Stupid Cold
It is blisteringly, stupefyingly cold here in Boston, chickens. I believe the meteorological term is stupid cold. You go outside, and the shock of it renders you instantly stupid. You just kind of stop and go, GAHHH...
It's so stupid cold that many school districts in the state have cancelled school for tomorrow, be it because of the possibility of frozen pipes, or the potential lawsuits from litigious parents who would very likely sue because little Thayer went out without his hat and got frostbite from waiting for the bus.
I'm a bitter cranky spore tonight.
This is severely depressing to me. I'm a huge fan of Spalding Gray, and so many people have emailed me over the past couple of days to let me know about this; it's that well-established how much I admire the guy. I met him 11 years ago, almost to the day, before his performance of "Gray's Anatomy," and I was struck by how kind he was. I ended up applying to Emerson for my graduate work in large part because of Spalding Gray. I really hope he's okay.
I want to write a show called "YEARBOOK: the Musical," with songs culled entirely from the signatures from junior high and high school yearbooks. Possible song titles:
- "Your (sic) a Really Awesome Kid."
- "I'm Really Glad I Got to Know You, But I'm Pissed We Didn't Get to Be Friends Sooner."
- "Can You Believe We Graduated?!?!"
- "Remember That Time in Latin? I Do!"
I'm looking for composers now.

Great idea! The showstopper could be "Have a Great Summer (Don't Party Too Hard)"

If you're seriously writing the musical, I'm pretty good at writing goofy, rhyming lyrics. Just ask Linda or Janine! Robin :)
