You scored as Lara Croft. A thrill-seeking, slightly unscrupulous, tough-as-nails archaeologist, Lara Croft travels the world in search of ancient relics perhaps better left hidden. She packs two Colt .45s and has no fear of jumping off buildings, exploring creepy tombs, or taking on evil meglomaniacs bent on world domination. </td> Lara Croft 88% Batman, the Dark Knight 79% James Bond, Agent 007 75% William Wallace 67% Captain Jack Sparrow 63% The Terminator 63% El Zorro 58% Neo, the "One" 58% Maximus 50% Indiana Jones 50% The Amazing Spider-Man 42% Which Action Hero Would You Be? v. 2.0 created with QuizFarm.com

I thought for sure I'd be Batman, but I guess liking archaeology made the difference.

My tummy and my lungs all feel icky and the massive bruise I gave myself on Saturday is tightening up my entire left hamstring. Tonight is the second rehearsal of four in a row, and then the contest on Saturday. Somewhere in that I will find time to work on my own solo piece. I performed it for Amira Jamal's class on Monday and got the expected feedback: do exactly what I'm doing, but more so. I think some of that won't be a problem on Saturday; I generally find another gear for real performances that I don't seem to be able to access on a more casual basis. But it is what I often think when I see myself on tape, sigh.

I made curtains for my office so that I will be able to block out glare in the mornings and have some privacy from the street once the leaves fall off the tree outside the window. From a distance, the curtains look like lush royal purple velvet. Up close, however, you can tell that they are craft felt and are held together with staples, because I swore I would not lug my sewing machine to the office nor the fabric home. Ha!
