Art! :O Art that evidences exactly how much attention I was paying to Religion this morning!

( I want you to look at me. )

One day, I'll learn to do people in something other than profile. And I'll have a way of getting pictures online that doesn't involve holding them up to my webcam and then GIMPing the living daylights out of them. And I'll draw them on something other than lined paper so I don't have to GIMP the living daylights out of them.

Today is not that day, but I'm okay with that.

(Surprisingly tiring) accomplishment for the evening:

Figuring out how the basics of Regina Spektor's "Us" on the piano.

I need to figure out how to apply pyschoanalysis to the theatre before 10 tomorrow. I wonder if Nick got his hands on those cigars . . .

Relatedly: The psychoanalysis of Darth Vader.

ETA: OH I FORGOT.

Unexpected awesome of today: I was copying stuff for Doc to put in his tenure file, and he came by the copy room to get a printout. While he was waiting, he started doing side kicks (Doc first met me while I was practicing a kata).

Not to be outdone, I did a roundhouse kick. He pointed out I was dropping my guard when I kicked, and dropped into a fighting stance to demonstrate. So did I, to correct myself.

Beat.

Thirty seconds of spontaneous sparring in the middle of the hallway, ending when I "backfisted" his jaw.

Beat.

"Yes," he said, and high-fived me.
