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.
