...and awake stupidly early this morning.
At least I was up early enough to put out my trash and recycling. They request it be out before 7:00am. It was, by quite a margin. And the temp is in the negative numbers, too! Currently about -4 degrees (F), and it has warmed a bit since I was out putting the trash at the head of my driveway.
I have a pretty messy cold - the random cough is setting in, and I'm pretty drippy - although I'm still working my way through my second box of kleenex.
Last night's rehearsal was choreo - from 7:45 to 10pm, all dance all the time. We cleaned up and worked "NYC," and then the last thirty minutes was review for "Hooverville" and "You Won't Be an Orphan."
One of the other ladies in the adult ensemble - who normally has leading parts - she was our Lily in "Secret Garden" our Anna in "the King and I," and is now content for this production to be down in the trenches with us, mentioned that having a leading role is so much less work. Ensemble is HARD! I lolled. And we're not even in the core dance group - we're the ones who can just about manage to step at the right time, but forget it if it also requires you to move your hand or head at the same time - and add in the singing and you're dreaming big. We have about six more weeks, I think? Maybe only five now, but hopefully by the time we go up we'll have a bit more clue.
Our choreographer is terrific, and while she is working us hard, she also uses her phone to video it and posts it so we can all watch and practice between rehearsals. The ONLY thing that is saving me from wandering around not knowing what the hell I am supposed to be doing when.
In other news, I am particularly loving the Wii. And![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gwendolyngrace and I are working our way through the Lego Batman game. I fooled around last night when I got home and figured out how to change Batman's suit! We're doing story mode together, but I've gone back and replayed parts of levels to see if I can figure out how to do more. Last night I replayed the Poison Ivy section of Chapter One, and figured out a few things (and died a lot, but whatever). I think I might have to try to get the Lego Harry Potter 1-4 once we've trounced the Batman game. I now understand the need for more memory - I'll pick up a memory card in the next few weeks.
Plus the Wii Fit is *fun* - and I never thought I'd work up much of a sweat, but I do - so when it is negative numbers out there like today (and only *might* break into positive double digits), I can work out in the safety and warmth of my own home. Awesome. Between the Wii and shoveling the driveway twice a week (and I am as ready as I can be for the next storm system), and dance rehearsals at least once or twice a week, I am working hard.
Ugh. Come noon, I'm *so* going to want a nap - and I've got rehearsal tonight. Nyquil tonight, I think - knock me out enough to get some sleep.

I never owned a gaming system in my life - not an atari, not a gameboy, nothing. So seeing us fumble with the controls is pretty frickin' hilarious. Half the time I have no idea how I did what I did, and the number of times our Batman and Robins have killed each other are pretty funny.
