Saturday afternoon, getting ready

Okay, I haven't posted a substantial entry in way too long. I'm going to see Sweeney Todd this afternoon and then go straight to Brett the Vet's Christmas party (I wish I could say what I got for the Dirty Santa swap--which is "dirty" in the sense of the stealing back and forth, not in terms of the nature of the gifts, which often include liquor, vessels for liquor, recipe guides for liquor, books, games, magazine subscriptions, and liquor--but some of the attendees might read this and be spoiled), so I have a relatively small window of time in which to post and get ready, but I have to do something while my hair air-dries, you know? (Curly hair + vigorous blow-drying = BAAAAAD.)

Oh! Oh! Yesterday the Lovely Emily and I had a late lunch with the Amazing McRachel, a college friend of ours who was in from New York, yay! And then I have the party tonight and tomorrow to sleep it off. And Sweeney Todd, of course, which should be interesting because all I know about the musical is the barest outline of the plot--who the characters are and how they interact, generally how it ends, but that's about it. I've never heard any of the music and I haven't watched any of the clips--on purpose, to save as much surprise as possible. Exciting!
