Tom Stoppard is totally my boyfriend

I was front row for the theatre dept.'s production of The Real Inspector Hound tonight, and it was free too! Another perk of living in Podunk. I'm so in love with Mr. Stoppard. Anyone who can perform such playful acrobatics with words should be deified immediately and have a cult formed around him. They did Arcadia last semester, and I'm eternally grateful to the casting director, because the same girl played the female leads in both plays, and she is GORGEOUS. Her costume tonight was this incredibly sexy red satin dress and, well, let's just say I shamelessly objectified her all evening (I was in the front row! I had a very nice view! Can you blame me?) Yum--oh god I just realized she's in two of my classes! christ! well at least she'll (hopefully) distract me from TeacherCrush. Anyway I wish they would do Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead; I've read it but the movie is bizarrely crappy and doesn't do it justice at all. I'd give my eyeteeth to have seen the original production of Arcadia though; Samuel West as Valentine AND Rufus Sewell as Septimus! That must have been a hell of a show.
