"This is our job. To lie to you. We're liars. Professional liars."

Today, I'm grateful for:
  • discovering new plays and playwrights. I finally used my Borders giftcard from Christmas the other day and picked up two collections of short plays, one by Neil LaBute and the other by John Patrick Shanley. This afternoon was spent delving into LaBute's plays - I highly recommend Liar's Club, and once I'm a little older, I'd love to perform his extended monologue entitled Falling in Like. Both genius.
  • Closer. (Both the film and the original play by Patrick Marber.) I watched it for the first time in a while on Tuesday, and I'd forgotten how brilliant the dialog is. I lovelovelove when Alice asks Dan, "What would my euphemism be?" and he replies, "She was disarming."
  • Operation Pool Party.
  • movie nights with K.
  • starting another weekend of shows tomorrow!

  1. Have you read the book Liar's Club? Sooooo good. One of my favorite autobios. I'm intrigued that there's a play by the same name...
