My year in princeton is slowly coming to an end. The last play of the season opens on Wednesday. I've got an interview at Playwrights Horizons for another directing internship. I bought my ticket back to alaska (just to visit) last week. I even finished folding all two-thousand nine-hundred twenty-nine paper cranes. What will my hands do to stay busy now?
I actually started making this post to complain about the insanity of cheaptickets.com. Granted, I found the cheapest ticket I could there. And its taking me from Here to Anchorage, Anchorage to St. Louis and then from St. Louis back to Here. Well, today, I got an email from cheaptickets telling me there had been a slight change in my itinerary. Small change, my butt. A whole leg of my trip was missing. They had me ending up in St. Louis, which wouldn't be a bad thing, I'm sure Kyle and Bek wouldn't mind having me stay for a little bit longer. But great googly moogly people. A whole leg of my flight vanished. Of course I called customer service (the woman could NOT pronounce Newark, Anchorage OR St. Louis, it was very odd, like she was pretending to speak with an american accent, but hadn't quite got all the kinks worked out yet.) who told me that the airline had canceled the flights that made up the last leg of my journey. While I was on hold, I researched it myself, and nope. Flights were still there, I just wasn't on them. All cleared up now though, because I am a persistant, patient, and intelligent woman who knows how to get what she wants. Mwuhahahahahaha.
Anyway, I must finish up with some other work here in the office before I head to the note session up in the theater. Whee! Oh... and have any of you ever had lines from Hamlet running through your brain constantly? I dream Hamlet. I mutter it under my breath as I walk down the street. And not really relevant quotes, but strange sections that are incomplete and so solid in my head I fear that if I wasn't crazy already, this might drive me there.

Cheaptickets is who I bought my ticket through when I flew United to LA three years ago. So when United changed the flight from Seattle to Anchorage and never told me, because I bought the ticket through an outside agency they said it was not their responsibility to inform me of the change in itinerary. So I arrived in Seattle about 2 hours after my connecting flight left. And since United only had 1 flight to Alaska per day, I got to spend the night with Lesley and hang out with her the next day. I will never use United or Cheaptickets again.
