@joeo10 😮

this sums up my kid's birthday party yesterday to a t

(actually, it was a great time! except if you were a cupcake.)

@joeo10 I lived in Budapest for about two years, after going there as a traveler and falling in love with the place. It's a beautiful and fascinating city, with a real mix of architecture, and Hungarian is so different that it's a wonderful adventure for anyone who likes language. Great pastries, too. 😊

I lived in Budapest a long time ago, and I was never by any means fluent, but there are still words that come out of my mouth in Hungarian even before English. "Istenem" for "My God," for one. And whenever I get something in my eye, I complain, "Mindig van valami a szememben." We may never know why. Languages are weird and wonderful things.

@joeo10 I like to be on the cutting edge.

Planning for a Mario Bros. birthday party is afoot, and I am outraged that my boys want me to dress up as a Goomba.

I AM 100 PERCENT PRINCESS PEACH (the modern version who rescues herself)

@joeo10 I immediately grabbed one of the artist's postcards. So interesting!

I love this exhibit of work by mixed-media and #collage artist Hilary Pfeifer at the airport in Oregon. The intricate symbols caught my eye immediately.

@me Hello and following back! 😊

@joeo10 Thank you so much! The loud boom and the house shaking were very scary (especially for the puppy).

Grateful that we're all fine and have power. Not grateful for the massive Ponderosa pine that fell on my husband's empty car last night. Grateful that the car was empty.

@joeo10 They are so much fun!

We're throwing it back only to last fall, because PUPPY FACES

Nearly four years after this all started, Covid is still hurting theaters. Playgoers everywhere haven't returned in the same numbers. The quirky dramas and groundbreaking new plays that are integral to our mission can be a particularly rough sell.

Have you changed your going-out habits since the shutdown ended (or has it not ended for you)? Do you experience the arts on a screen now?

Curious to hear Mastodon opinions, so please boost. Thank you!

@joeo10 I can't take credit for the set; I'm just the marketing director. 😆 But I'm super-proud of my coworkers! The show is tons of fun.

Curtain call at my theater last night! Opening night for the comedy whodunit "Ken Ludwig's The Game's Afoot," which has a stunning set designed by Ron Gasparinetti. At City Lights Theater Company, San Jose, California.

Off to the synagogue for Kol Nidre rehearsal, and knowing that after the Covid shutdown I will never again take for granted the bliss of singing in a group of other music-loving humans. Also, raise your hand if autocorrect changes your “Kol Nidre” to something funny.
