For the last two days, I have been afflicted with a strange sickness. And no, I do not mean my love for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, for such pure devotion could never be considered sick. No, for the last two days I have been stricken with a general wooziness, tempered with nausea, that reminds me of the effects of a hangover. Despite the fact that I have not had any alcohol since Sunday (admittedly, that was WAY more than I should have had, but I don't think it's still having an effect).
Anyway, the point is, I want it to go away. There are things I should be doing. For one thing, I should be at work. For another, if I'm not at work, I should be able to do productive things like grade papers and make lesson plans, but for some reason I can't concentrate on those things. And tonight I want to be able to enjoy seeing Next To Normal, which I believe will be my first new musical since Xanadu. Unless we're counting Speech and Debate, which is more a straight play with occasional music numbers.
I'm excited about it, as it will be the first I see in a spate of new rock musicals, including In The Heights (which I saw off-Broadway last year) and Passing Strange (which sounds intriguing indeed.) And possibly Saved!: The Musical, though I actually have no idea what the music will be like. Of course, I don't actually care, for two reasons: one, it's Saved!, one of my favorite movies in the universe, and two, it's Celia Keenan-Bolger, who has done no wrong that I've ever seen.
Wow. Tangent. Craziness.
