It's over now. The Spy Who Left Me, the defining aspect of my life and the one thing I looked forward to above all else since Mexico, has wrapped. The cast party was brilliant fun, ran until 4 AM, leaving me in no condition to move couches the next day then work until midnight. And yet I did.
The post-show depression hasn't fully kicked in yet. But it will, oh, it will. The worst was three years back, after The Course of True Love and the Curse of the Jade Monkey. Spent a solid week shlumping around the living room eating nothing but Pizza Hut P'Zones and watching Cannibal: the Musical. You know, when I wasn't working. This time... it was one of the tightest casts I've worked with in years, so we'll be seeing each other hither and yon, but without the twice-weekly guaranteed exposure, I'm gonna hit a world-class funk any day now. I just know it.
And now, the Duran Duran song that's been running in my head for nearly a week now...
Take the beautiful sting of a Scorpio
A careless smile and it begins to snow
And it hurts me to think you might never know
That I've got this thing about you
Case you don't understand, there's somethin' else I meant to tell ya
There is nothing better than being with you
And I'm feeling so nice
There is nowhere better than here with you
And it's feeling so nice
Stayin' up with the moon, walking home in the rain
Mixed with your perfume and never twice the same
I got a lot to lose but everything to gain
When I really think about it
You haven't got a clue it's all that I can do to hide it
There is nothing better than being with you
And I'm feeling so nice
There is nowhere better than here with you
And it's feeling so nice
So that's me. How are you? Something I can help you with? 'Cause I'd really like to not think about me for a while.
