crisis averted

Turns out I should not do stats homework at 10:30 at night! Because my reading comprehension drops way down. I missed the whole sentence about how to make SPSS spit out percentages and gammas so a whole 3 charts of information were missing. So I'm less confused and more done with my homework now.

AND I managed to get rid of Sunday at the library, so I will be having a bonus Thanksgiving with jimithingy's family. Should be delicious.

Tomorrow: Edward II at the fancy new theatre. Last week, we saw 'Tamburlaine', which was 3 HOURS! I wouldn't have minded so much but it was an evening performance so I was sort of sleepy haha. Avery Brooks was very good, actually everyone was very good, but I'm not really a bit Histories person. 'Tamburlaine' never gets his comeuppance. He's a little bastard, who kills and betrays lots of people to become an even bigger jerkwad, ruling the world, and is finally challenged, which leads him to think that stabbing his own son is a good idea and before anyone can really get revenge, he has a heart attack and dies. Hm. 'Edward II' sounds a lot more nuanced and complex. (Reading the Wikipedia entry...I wonder if it is possible to find the production that Ian McKellan starred in....)

The new theatre is very snazzy. It's right across the street from the Verizon Center (was had to walk through a crowd of Springsteen fans to get there last week, who knows what will be going down on a Saturday afternoon). destertale asked me what was going to happen to the Lansburgh Theatre and as far as I know, they are going to keep it open! Right now they have 'Taming of the Shrew' extended through Nov 25th, something they couldn't do until now. And a couple more plays are scheduled there for the season too. They are also using the new theater to host all kinds of different events.

ah yes, I remember the days of good old SPSS! lol I of course had to know it in order to get my Psych degree and worked very closely with it as an intern at the Domestic Violence Center. Don't fret. It'll become pretty repetitive and formulaic. :) Oh wait.... that IS something to fret about! lol

I only have 2 weeks left of this course and then SO LONG STATS! haha. It's nice to kind of understand how they figure out stats but I never want to see them again haha.

I completely agree. I do not miss SPSS or anything affiliated with stats.

I heard Avery Brooks (Sisco on DS9) was going to be in these shows, is he? i want to go see him.

He is Tamburlaine in 'Tamburlaine'. Which was really long. I didn't care for it very much but he did a good job. He was in 'Othello' last year and totally pwned that roll. He has an amazing stage presence.
