late at night and I'm kind of ramble-y

When I was in elementary school, I was really into sewing. I remember that there was a brand of fabric glue my best friend and I used when we were making stuffed animals that had a very, very distinctive smell. I close my eyes and I can still smell this stuff, the odor was strong and could give you a headache after a while, but it's terribly nostalgic.

Once I got to college, I realized that the closest analog for what this stuff smelled like is the cheap marijuana my neighbors like to vent into the hall, and into our bathroom. I guess I'm thinking about it because they've currently managed to stink up my apartment.

On a totally unrelated note, Like a Dog in Space made it to the semi-finals of Blank Young Playwrights 2011! Hooray!!! Fingers crossed, let's see if I get in!

Do you like free stuff?

I know you do. I also know that at least some of you are THEATER PEOPLE (we are a special breed, we theater people). Kim, who is my boss at my fantastic internship that I am sure I will talk about some more at a later date, has a blog where she talks about THEATER, especially theater of the MUSICAL persuasion. (Musical theater people are an even special-er breed!)

And she is running a contest.

In her contest, she is giving away free stuff.

Specifically, she is giving away a songbook (aka sheet music) by up-and-coming musical theater composer Ryan Scott Oliver. The rules on how to enter are over on her blog which you will go to by clicking this handy dandy link. It's really easy and harmless and won't take more than a few minutes out of your day. So I advise you DO IT. DO IT NOW.

Also, the dude wrote a dark re-imagining of Peter Pan. What's not to love?
