Jitterbug Saturday Night

Play practice was pretty intense. I had to learn my dance backwards - turns out I'm on the opposite side of the stage than I was taught when learning the steps originally. Heh. But I've got it now; my partner was having some issues, but he hadn't had any practice until today. Considering that, I don't think we were doing too badly by the end of practice. Our group of dancers has to attend practice tomorrow to work on it a little more and learn the last couple of steps in the song. But it's starting to be a lot of fun.

I finally know that my character's name is Marion, and I am the only female solder in the entire play. My dance numbers are going to be...interesting in my lovely uniform complete with a skirt. Haha. Military women couldn't wear pants in 1942. I have to figure out how to get my hair up within military allowances for the 1940's as well. Fun, fun, fun. (I'm no longer an agent as I was told beforehand. So I'm no longer singing the song that goes with that role. But I think the awesome dance parts more than make up for it.) I can't wait until it all comes together into an entire production - and Ryan gets to see me sing and dance in uniform on stage! Haha. He'll be so proud!

Friday night my mother and I went to Johnson City for a bit of shopping and caught What Happens in Vegas with Kesha after she got off of work. The previews don't do it justice. Hilarious. See it now. I ended up going back to Johnson City yesterday with Mom and finally bought myself a graphics tablet. Nothing fancy, but enough for now until I can save up for something awesome. My dad wants to do logos and stuff for his business while I'm home, and I didn't feel like I could do it justice the old fashioned way. Heh. I've been eyeing a graphics tablet for years so it's about time. Also picked up a couple of scrapbooking embellishments and Hairspray. Love that movie times a bajillion. Also found a couple of novels at a used bookstore and a cross stitching kit of a geisha. So I've got plenty to do between all of that and the play until Ryan comes home.
