I went to see the locally written/produced/directed play “Dorothy in Oz” last night!  Presented by the Rage of the Stage Players, “Dorothy in Oz” is a retelling of “The Wizard of Oz” set in a modern day (?) mental institution.  The plot, as is usual with productions from the Rage of the Stage Players, is [...]

A Night Out

Tonight, I volunteered for Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania at Pride.  I helped hand out condoms and information for STD testing.  Afterwards, the friends I was volunteering with wanted to go out to dinner, so we went to Yokoso.  It was so much fun!  The chef cooks right at the table, lighting things on fire, [...]

Some of you know I’m on Pitt’s Book Kart Drill Team (Yes, we spell Kart with a K; no, I don’t know why).  We (all 8 of us) are going to the ALA competition at the ALA Conference in Chicago in July.  We’ll be posting video after the event.
