“Agh, I dropped my clip-on earring in the sink!”
Me: I’m not sure what the play is about…I think it’s like, these people are penpals and they really love each other but they don’t know that in real-life they ALSO know each other, and they’re enemies. I can’t remember if that’s what the play is about , or if that was an idea someone had, or -
Scott: – Isn’t that “You’ve Got Mail” ?
That reminds me of the time I told my boyfriend in grade 11 I had my shoes stolen off my feet…I really believed it when I said it…but seconds later realized that actually DIDN’T happen to me, that it happened on “Sex&the City”…
“I really hate it when people get my goat.” -Kelsey
“Tennessee Williams got fat. Too bad, he was a good looking gay.” -Vee
“Do you know what I’m having for a snack right now? Apple sauce, granola, and water. See what you’ve done to me? Thanks a lot.” -Vee
“I HOPE I DIE IN THE MAZE!” -Skye, whilst reinacting guilting her boss at an amusment park because she was in trouble for taking too long of a break. (She was having an asthma attack for God’s sake!)
“This business makes the mafia look like kindergarten.” -Jock
(Jenna is wearings jeans with rips at the knees)
Jock: (in the middle of analysis work, turns to her) Do you pay to have your jeans look like that?
Jenna: Why, do you want a pair?
“Life isn’t terrible!”
“Get out of your head, and into all of you.”
MyYen: Give the mug to your mother! She carried you for 9 months!
Me: Actually, I was adopted.
MyYen: You should still give it her.
Me: Yeah…she did have to drive to the adoption agency to pick me up.

“I like everything that has no style: dictionaries, photographs, nature, myself, and my paintings (Because style is violence and I am not violent).”
-Gerhard Richter
Loved that quote in a nook of the AGO.
Also a big fan of Mark Dion’s polar bear photographs (mostly because I am a polar bear fan.)
Do Ho Su’s bathroom was also amazing. Complete 3-d lavatory from nylon.
N.E. THING CO was my kind of art…fecicious and whimsical and ribbons and sodas and call-back jokes and, well, it was the sixties, man.
Here’s my stream of consciences that I wrote post-visit, in the gift shop:
I am at the AGO right now thinking about Andy’s Elvis, Roald Dahl books I wish weren’t in my attic somewhere, Degas’ ballerinas on my show’s poster thanks to the World’s best dramatury c/o my [step]sister, TO CAPTURE LIGHT and lost, under-appreciated artists, finger paints, how my lower back hurts, wanting Kelin to teach me to paint, my relephant necklace, “world’s first twitter”, tarp art, how poor I am, my scene study, etch-a-sketch, magna doodle, those filmy-scratchy books, Gina’s paint by numbers…
Spur of the moment magic –> You can’t plan magic, if you do, it’s just trickery.
