ironymaidenCraxy Ex-Girlfriend Live wasn't perfect - we were one of the dates without the amazing Donna Lynne Champlin - but it was pretty freaking great. they were clearly having a blast and it was a grand mix of low-fi "we just threw this together" and polish. the Moore was sold out (the show had to be moved to a larger venue after the Neptune sold out in ~one hour). waiting in line for GA seats was literally painful due to a freak hailstorm, but we got my favorite spot in the orchestra - peak of the rake, center center. perfect sightlines, great sound mix. since it was during passover, there was even a point where a big box of matzoh got shared around the theater. at the time we saw them, they didn't know if the show would be renewed or not. the tour could have been the last time they all got to hang out...but the renewal notice came through the next day. they will have a fourth and final season, and i think that's pretty much perfect.
i know that i say this over and over again, but seriously: CxG is on Netflix. give it a try. it's the best musical comedy about life with mental illness that you've ever seen.

Dad is settled into a transitional rehab place, and is walking with a walker every day. i've talked with him on the phone a few times. the pauses are still long, but he sounds better every time we talk. Mom doesn't have anyone with her right now, which makes me sad*, but things are way less scary. my cousin who lives near the facility Dad is in has really stepped up and i don't know how to thank her enough.

i've been tearing through the Throne of Glass books now that my library holds list has kicked in. (i am probably digging it because the protagonist is basically a D&D character that i would play.) i haven't enjoyed a fat fantasy novel this much for a long time. it's definitely violent, but i can't call it grimdark.
* now the top of my lottery fantasy list is immediately flying to PA, which is not something i ever thought i would say.
