NaNoWriMo: Day 16
Nov. 17th, 2009 06:12 amI ACCOMPLISHED SOME STUFF TODAY. My word count is at 18378 and I'm feeling like I'm getting over the second-week rut and things are easier again. How? I had my character acknowledge in the story that she felt her life was in a rut. And then go, "I think when things really turned around for me was when..." and then introduced this entirely new plot line I hadn't thought up before.
I'm annoyed at my class register-ing. Some classes I'm supposed to take this semester -- and by some I mean HALF -- are available neither at my campus nor online. They're only available downtown. I can't get downtown. I thought that since my program is listed as being offered at my campus that means that THE ENTIRE PROGRAM IS OFFERED AT MY CAMPUS? Grrrrrrr. So now I'm in a weird situation and I need to talk to my advisor ASAP even though priority registration is already ending today boooo. So hope and pray that that goes well.
I heard on the Twitterz that today was the 3rd year anniversary of Spring Awakening's first performance for the public on Broadway (not their opening night but their first preview). Cah-razy. And it's only appropriate that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
msmoocow also linked me to some videos of Groff performing at a concert tonight.
I have mixed feelings on Groff in general -- he is such a strange man in that he flops between being really attractive and unattractive all the time. I remember... I swear we must've thought he was really cute as Melchior back in the day, and then by the time he left the show we didn't think so anymore. I don't know. And he doesn't even have that great of a voice, really, it's pretty unremarkable I feel. (And also very theater which makes me wonder what the hell he's going to be like on Glee.)
But I think there's just something about him that is so... charming. I don't know how many of you I showed, but there's a video where the comedian Demetri Martin is going on about how incredible Groff is that he's one of those people that "makes you feel like you're the only one in the room." I owe a lot to Groff, I think, because I've developed such a fascination with Melchior over the years, and I think we watched 6/9 and listened to 12/18 so many times that no matter how many men play Melchior and how well they do with him (and Groff is really somewhere in the middle of my favorites) a part of Jon Groff will always be Melchior to me. (Even if that part is a bit of a creeper.) Same for all those actors in the OBC -- such an effing talented group of kids, really, geeze. And now John Jr is in the Green Day musical, American Idiot, which is coming to Broadway. And I go around LJ and see people with Lea Michele as their icons that have probably never seen her play Wendla. Three years ago I don't think we could've imagined these things.
THAT MAKES ME WANT TO REWATCH 6/9 SOMETIME. LET'S PARTY THAT SOMETIME, GUYS.
Anyway. Video for the day.
I'm also obsessed with the voice of the woman he's dueting with in that video. Gorgeous.
