wednesday.

Due to general levels of elatedness due to ballet trip this weekend, I managed to not sleep much at all last night. Due to the release of Ahsoka episode 5, K. managed to sleep even less, I think. So we were both very blurry-eyed and extremely tired when we got up around eight. Since I don't have a job, I didn't have to go be productive in that state like she did, but could instead lie right back down and sleep until half past ten. Felt a little better after that, but am still extremely tired and happy that it's a relatively easy-going day all in all. We decided yesterday, since we're watching the 50 minute episode of Ahsoka tonight that, I am told, is generous with our favourite characters, we'd order take-away, so we're having Chinese once K. gets home and then, jumping right into the madness that is parts of the Star Wars fandom right now, OMG. Very excited about it, looking very much forward.



I haven't gotten any writing done today, and I expect this will be the state of affairs until after the weekend, which is fine. I'm just really looking forward to La Sylphide in the flesh and on stage for the first time (for me, have watched it livestreamed in... 2020, I think?) since 2016, when it was on tour around Jutland and I basically groupied it the entire way, watching every single performance except one. Such memories!

The aesthetic of the new production, however much I oppose it in most ways, is giving me an itch for some Effy/Madge and, you know, since they're basically the only two characters to actually survive the plot of La Sylphide, I guess there is some sense in that.

We'll see how I feel once I've watched it on Saturday.



Last night, having edited the final scene I finished there, I needed a break for my head and decided to watch some Takarazuka. As always, when I just want some good entertainment, I return to Spring Snow, Tsukigumi 2012, one of the few DVDs I own that isn't from the Komu/Maachan era of Yukigumi or Yukigumi at all. Around 2010-ish, I had a brief sprint of following Tsukigumi, because my favourite girl, Sakihi Miyu (who would ironically become top of Yukigumi later, an era I never got around to follow) had ended up in that troupe. Of all the shows I bought with baby Miyurin in, though, only Spring Snow is left and it's still here for a variety of reasons...

( A lot of thinking on SPRING SNOW - )

Inspired greatly by some Zuka magic once more and some old icons I found that I'd made from photos from Mirio's personal photobook around the same time as this show came out, I've put a little work into a steampunk-ish inspired original theatre-associated character called Nera that I hope I might get to write something for later. For now, it's purely RP, but I like her and hope to do more with her, so.

We'll see. If I'm taking a longer break from the Napoli project, then maybe.
