1. Locked myself out of my room
2. Got completely behind on homework/practicing
3. Saw a really bizarre adaptation of Midsummer Night' Dream (at least, the parts of it without the fairies or mechanicals). It was very avant-garde and post-modern and other-hyphenated-things: video projection, and audience interaction (we were all handed chicken costumes (read: big pieces of bright yellow fake-fur and mask) upon entering and herded into the orchestra pit, where all the action happened as we milled around and got shoved out of the way by the actors), but it was actually pretty good: the delivery/acting was much better than the straighter (and more complete) version they did last year. And, the video-montage-ing included footage of Foucault with the actor voicing-over for Theseus. Theseus!Foucault! Hilarious!
