It's towel day! I have celebrated not in the slightest, but several times today my brain has acknowledged it.

I'm in NYC! It sure is Noo Yawk.

I have a cold! Or possibly my sinuses have freaked out due to being in several new biomes that they are not as familiar with as Boston (such as "bus for four hours" and "Times Square for any length of time at all". It's not the most fun thing in the world and has left me feeling pretty foggy.

Mi madre sung at Carnagie!! This was TOTALLY COOL! Her hair is currently striped pink, so it was very easy to spot her, even from up in the nosebleed seats. They did five songs, and it was all so very lovely to listen to! One of the songs was adapted from a Dessa song, so I'll have to look up the original of that. And they closed with "How can I Keep from Singing" which is sweet and a lovely way to end such a thing.

I am full of dessert! After the show, mom and Dad and Barb and I went to a little restaurant for dessert where I managed to scam Barb into letting me eat half her butterscotch pudding, in addition to me eating most of my lemon mousse. I am a verruh happy Kat right now.

I am at Maia's house! Currently I am flopped on the couch writing some words. Soon I will be asleep.

It's a good weekend, even if I have not yet finished all my grading. Tomorrow: Brunch with the fam, and then oh yeah we've got matinee tickets to go see HADESTOWN so that'll be excellent.

MOOP!

A'ight? Alright.

The really significantly good thing from today was getting to go see Hadestown! This was extra important to do now, after it was nominated for its fourteen Tonys but before it won any of 'em and therefore became _really expensive and hard to get tickets to_. Having now seen it once, I really think I may do the KChen¹ thing and buy a small block of tickets waaaaaay the fuck out in advance, then take whoever wants to go to NYC with me to go see it in exchange for them paying me back. This is a good plan! This is a terrifying plan.

( This is where I say possibly spoilery things about Hadestown, all of which are positive because I liked it very much. )

Yeah, I think that's all. Really top-notch show! If you get the chance, definitely take it.

1: This is how I saw Hamilton! In an October, KChen emailed me to say "I bought tickets, would you like to pay me back for one of them?" and then I made my way to the city in April and did indeed pay him back and it was a fantastic show.

2: I'm sorry friends, but despite my endlessly TMI nature, some stories really are too personal for me to tell publicly, or largely at all.
