A tough nut to crack

Haven't cracked this character yet.  There's something about sexism and power, and she claims a false power: destroying someone else isn't an authentic power, it's only bringing someone else down to your level of lack.  She finds out in this scene that he doesn't know of her latest accusation to destroy him, but when he gets the phone call and tells him to take it and stays to watch what happens (this happens right after our scene ends.)  And yet continues to make demands.  Also can't tell if she's actually smart and playing dumb in order to entrap him, by writing down everything he says...and he tells her too much, or ?  She got into the school.  At times I feel she's trying to dumb everything down, but she's cagey, with a huge chip on her shoulder, taking every word and action out to the extreme meaning, using it to turn the tables and punish him.  Crying wolf...oh, then there's the very end of the play: maybe she's punishing him for not finding her worthy of seduction.  That's a thought.  We have less than two weeks 'til we present these.

Just had the most ridiculous, fortuitous timing on a work project that had a bunch of moving targets: every part fell into place right as the previous part was ending.  Weird and wonderful.  That was just...wow.  (It seemed like it was too complicated and then just fell into place in a way that couldn't have been planned out: space, painting, movers, meetings, furniture assembly and moving, cleaning...)

Finally home at a decent hour...at least I got to the laundry.  (And first page of dialogue memorized.)

For some reason, just remembered how much I liked the movie "Jesus of Montreal."  I was telling someone they should see it and almost started crying.  The unexpected (in his case, the role) changing your life.
