I've been thinking about playwrighting a lot lately, thanks to the 24-hour play project, as well as all of the analyzing I have been doing of the play I am directing. It's gotten me thinking about what's important in a play, and I've been batting around the idea of a small-cast musical in my head. So, in a shocking first, I have decided to do a poll of my readers, and find out what YOU think is important in a musical!
The Poll is over on the sidebar, probably about..... ----------------------------------------------->
There!
If you decide to select "Other" please post your answer in the comments section of this post. And even if you choose one of the other answers, I'd love to hear your thoughts on musicals!
Thanks, readers!

Susy Homemaker Update!
So, I'm apparently a few days behind myself when it comes to updating you lot on recent events, so here comes a (slightly late) Homebrew update!
Thursday, I decided I was tired of looking at our disgusting jug of juice. I won't show you a picture (too nasty) but I will describe it to you. The wine had separated into three distinct layers: on the bottom, a silt made up of zest and pulp and other fine particles (i don't even know), in the middle, the wine, which was clear and beautiful, and on the top, frothy foam, thick like sea foam, with bloated raisins floating in it. Nothing glamorous here, folks. Anyway, we decided that the thing to do was to try to siphon out the good layer, and tried to filter the silt from the other layers.
The siphoning went well. We pulled probably a gallon and a half of wine from the jug, and had another gallon of silty goodness leftover. The silt, we tried to filter through paper towels, coffee filters, a sieve, anything. Nothing would filter it. Everything clogged up in half a second, so we abandoned the silt and focused on the wine.
Now, let's talk about this wine. It tastes almost exactly like grapefruit juice still, except for the vapors in the back of your throat from the alcohol. Oh, and the fact that it is six hundred times more sour than anything i have ever sipped before. It's literally one of the most sour liquids I've ever consumed, it makes me take on a literal sour-face, and I eat lemons for fun. We rinsed the jug, and poured the wine back in there, but we decided to add a bit more sugar, about one cup (packed) of brown sugar. Then, we shoved it back into our canning cupboard, and ran away.
Meanwhile, on the gardening front, I am sad to report that approximately all of our delicious hot peppers have fallen victim to... THE GOPHER! -Dun Dun DUNNNN! This is the most sinister gopher I have ever encountered, using guerrilla warfare to taunt me. He's taken out my hot peppers,five out of six of my bell peppers, and pretty much everything related to squash. Seriously, this is one evil little bugger.
The war rages on.
That said, he seems to have an aversion to tomatoes, so those things are going NUTS! We have a couple dozen tomato plants all popping out little greenies! YAY! before long, I'll be canning tomatoes like crazy, in about a hundred different ways, which I will tell you more about as I get there.
Okay, that's the Suzie Homemaker Update! Does anyone have any suggestions for my homesteading projects? I'd really appreciate any advice on Baron VonGopher, and how to get him out of my garden! Thanks, dear readers!
