So we got through (most) of the play

Last night. (Most here meaning that we skipped a few Polonius/Laertes/Naomi scenes due to those actors not being there. Y'know, Lord, just once? Full cast before the last minute? Anywho.)

However, I have Apocalypta's cover of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" in my brain. Am going for use of instruments - esp. strings used as percussion (including piano) - which is slightly off for much of the background sound of Hamlet. Realized I've been living intensely with this play for over a year now - since last summer - with a slight break for Nutcracker and then an unscheduled one for Matchmaker and then intensely back where I began. No wonder I feel like a woman several weeks overdue in the very very intensely going to die but I can't even begin to imagine what the poor actors are going through so I'll quit complaining but dear Lord, some air conditioning would be nice please way.

Godspell from Arts Alliance tonight. Looking forward to it (love the musical, but even better, it's a break from current thoughts - a way to cleanse the mental palate). Hung out a bit in the wee hours with Johnny which was loverly - mucho talk of music and chord progressions and getting over writer's block to simply get lyrics out there finished off by hysterical laughing over 80's and 90's awesomely bad love songs.

Everything is going super well for where it's at. But weekends are from God. Clear the brain - be able to look again at what's happening - rest - relax - recoup - get strength back (even mental, emotional, not just physical) and then once more unto the breach, dear friends!

Mood: Sleep-eyed
Music: "Flying" by Cait Agus Sean
Prayer: Dear Lord, amen.
