The Daily News
1 So…Arthur Miller walks into a bar…
2 Happy Valentine’s Day y’all! Or is it “all of y’all”?
3 Ah, it’s nice.
4 Love, love, love…
5 Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate…
6 All you need is chocolate.
7 I got DSL finally!!!! WOW! It SO rocks!!! I messed with everything, and got a buncha pictures up on this website called fotki, but I’ll get back to that in a second, because the BREAKING news is this:
MUSICAL!!!!!!
7 If you are interested in auditioning for the Spring Musical, come to my room, P-61, on Wednesday and Thursday after school. Keep Friday open.Yes, it’s on! I have some shifting to do, and some things to discuss, but I spent a good part of the weekend getting prepared. Stunning! Clear your schedule of everything but FANTASTICS!!! I’m going to try to be fairly flexible on rehearsals, but try to keep after schools clear!
8 So far, my only concern is whittling down the 96 songs I have decided I want in! I’m serious!!! I literally chose over 96 songs, but I think it’s going to become much more manageable much sooner! Some of the songs being considered include Tomorrow from Annie, Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera, If I Were a Rich Man, Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler, Maybe This Time from Cabaret, Something’s Coming, Tonight, Gee Oficer Krupke from West Side Story, Summer Nights from Grease, My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music, There is Nothing Like a Dame from South Pacific, I Caint Say No from Oklahoma!, Rainbow Connection from Muppets, Beauty and the Beast, from Beauty and the Beast, Camelot, I Loved You Once in Silence from Camelot, We Both Reached For the Gun <He Had it Comin’> from Chicago, Coffee Break, Been a Long Day from How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Rent, from Rent, Captain Walker, It’s a Boy, Twenty-One,The Acid Queen, Pinball Wizard, See Me, Feel Me, and Listening to You from Tommy.
8 Whoooeeweee! That’s just a TASTE! Clearly, it’s a LOT of work, and I should know by Thursday where to take a lot of this. I would begin with large numbers first, like Summer Lovin’ and Coffee Break, and we would move to duets and small groups.
9 I’ve ordered most of the support music for those pieces. I’ll be spending some time this week and next organizing, and maybe even calling people in who might work for certain songs, so try to stay flexible, and then when we get back, get ready!
10 So THAT’S the gist of today’s Daily News!!! I intend to get the musical going in early May, even though we are scheduled for April. This will kick a lot of things around, but this is the only way to get it done.
11 So yeah!!!! Let’s give it a bash! It it looks like we have enough interest, it’s a go!!
12 I spent a long time yesterday throwing a billion pictures up on this website:

Check them out!
12 I’d better go now; I stopped hitting myself over the head with a hammer about fifteen minutes ago, and I think I need another round!
13 Peace, and a lovely Valentine’s Day to you all.
14 Bye now!
