Christmas revelry and the pitches I failed to attend!

Hello again! This may have to be a speedy one, as I have an audition in half an hour!

Had a 221B rehearsal on Sunday afternoon. We still haven't managed to get everyone together for my bit in Act 2 (Lucy was working and Thomasina was in the Panto's matineé performance), but we did have some fun reimagining interlude 1. Apparently my howling is rather harrowing - this from Ed who's actually meant to be the one doing it.

Me and Sam went from there to Amy's place for free pizza (Yay! Love you Amy), and I got subjected Flight of the Conchords for the first time. A bit like Peep Show but with random comedy music videos thrown in.

Then the ROSTRA Panto in the evening. Me, Chris and Ambles decided to break the mould by rooting for the rat. After all, all he wanted was for his fellow rats to live without oppression, right? What's so bad about that?

Helen's finished Malvolio's Revenge. Apparently, he kills Andrew, rapes Olivia and gets Maria killed. I played that guy in the orignal play!

Monday night was the last cheese night of the year. I went briefly but it didn't turn out to be that fun this time round. I think I was there about half an hour or so.

Missed the ROSTRA GM on Tuesday. The Importance of Being Earnest got in. Not actually what I would have voted for, but I do love that play, and this is the first chance I have of being it.

Wednesday saw me having my first meal at the Teras Lounge, the secret resteraunt hidden deep in the bowels of Main Arts. The food ranged from adequate to excellent and usually leaned towards the latter end of the scale. The hot drinks were very good as well, and relatively cheap.

Missed most of the BEDS Christmas ball, and therefore the pitching. Can't really complain about what got in, though I probably would have voted for Rebecca had I been there.

The tail end of the Ball was rather fun, and after a few goodbyes at scattered intervals between Powis and the Greek, a few of us ened up in the latter. I ended up spending 15 minutes trying to keep Lauren warm, and she was cold again within 5 minutes of leaving my presence, making it necessary for Sam to do the same. The girl seems to have very little in the way of heat retention capabilites. :P

A couple more goodbyes happened on the way back home. I probably won't see half the people I saw last night this side of 2012. Ah... the Christmas holidays, eh?

Anyway, I have that audition in a few minutes, so I should get to it now!

See you next time!
