Thespian endeavours rolling to a close

[new_kate]

Tonight is the opening night of the play! I'm so excited.

Slept very well even despite partaking in surprise fried chicken take-out my husband simply had to have at quarter to midnight. Only woke up once at 2:40 from the nightmare in which the performance venue was changed from a tiny pub in Preston town centre to, rather unexpectedly, a great hall of my Uni (in Siberia). Also in that dream I spilled coffee all over my dress, forgotten my lines, and was abandoned on stage by the rest of the crew who ran off in embarrassment.

It's almost like my brain is trying to send me some sort of a subtle subliminal message or something!

The dress rehearsal went very well. Which is supposedly a sure sign of impending disaster. I secretly hope nobody turns up so we can deliver all that confusing, mildly disturbing dialogue into the comforting quiet of an empty room, but we shall see. Last performance tomorrow and it's done!

Oh I also I now own a Nintendo Wii! See, I thought we couldn't have a game console because we didn't have a TV or indeed any analogue devices at all. But I have a husband who's handy for more than ordering junk food in the middle of night, so he somehow hooked it up to a computer monitor. I don't even know how! IT HAS SWORDPLAY. I seriously can't stop swordplaying. Even though it's just the hilarious Wii Sports Resort swordplay, TV game show style. God I love it.

Rec me Wii games! Bloody, gory sword fighting games especially, but I'm open to anything. Now that the rehearsals are over I'm going to finally FINALLY finish my current writing projects and then I'm going to play Wii till I can's lift my arms anymore, oh yeah, hell yeah.

No More Heroes! You are the 10th best assassin in the world, and you have to work your way up to No. 1! It's AWESOME and Tesco's sell it (at least down here).

Oh that looks perfect. YESSS. Thank you!
And, and! Sequel coming out soon!

Omg! It's Pinter time - I so wish I could've made it! Break a leg and all that. What's your costume like, btw?

Wii swordsplay sounds awesome - I'm going to check out that No More Heroes too.

Thank you! We weren't given any costumes so we're just wearing our own clothes, since the play isn't about pirates or anything exciting like that. I'm going with my awesome dress of the extreme blue. It's not as extreme as the dress of extreme green I wore at Connotations last year, but the winning point is that it's a shameless Karen Millen knock-off I got from New Look for like £18. I thought if I get nervous on stage I'll just think of what a great bargain it was and how very blue it is, and I'll feel all smug and confident! In case that doesn't work I'm also wearing a Fat Face cardi to be constantly reminded of Colin Morgan and how pretty he is. THIS PLAN CANNOT FAIL.

Good luck :)

Have you got a balance board with your Wii?

[new-kate.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I'm getting the balance board this weekend, oh yes. For I have heard there is Dance Dance Revolution available on Wii. Oh YES.

I don't know if I'll enjoy playing DDR on the balance board or will I end up having to buy the proper controller but I need to get Wii fit anyway, as going to the gym is just not happening for me /sigh

Yay! Break a leg!

[new-kate.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Eeee it was gooood. Well. I enjoyed it anyway :D

AWESOME have fun and break a leg~

I love the stupid Wii swordfighting. Sadly, I mostly do Wii Fit and EA Sports Active. I also have Resident Evil IV , which is sadly low on swordfighting, but does let you shoot zombie-like creatures in the head. It's an older game but someday I will conquer it man, I suck at games....

Thank you! Fun was had \o/ terrifying, shaky kind of fun, but still!

I so need to get Wii Fit. Is EA Sports Active worth getting as well? Is it like, a step up from Wii Fit? I'm still pretty much only doing swords, I'm obsessed with swords! And attempting to learn the arcane and dangerous art of table tennis. I've no idea why I find it so hard. Most other games in Sports Resort seem rather silly to me.

Oh oh I saw those plastic gun things you can get for Wii! Now that's almost as awesome as the sword.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Wii Fit is mini-games you string together to make a workout, though there are a few more-than-ten-minute options. EA Sports Active has real workouts. I ended up getting EA Sports Active after I got bored with Wii Fit, which might work for you!
