'I want to play all the parts, including Mabel'

One of the things that I have found myself missing during my two extended experiences abroad is the ability to kick out the jams and sing.

Ha ha, I said "kick out the jams". I am so not cool.

As you may already know, I am by no means a singer of any talent whatsoever. The only places I feel comfortable singing are in the car - because I can be in an enclosed space all alone and no one need hear me when I sing at the top of my lungs - and in the privacy of my own home. Of course, even in my own home, my own mother will hear me and come along and close the door. Everybody's a critic.

Singing at the top of my lungs is the only reason I like to drive, but I do miss that in France. My shower is not connected to my room but is in the hallway, right under the staircase, so I can't sing there either. I've decided today that my neighbors are all out, and thus have been singing and dreaming, once again, of inflicting on the world an extremely painful and nonsensical one-woman show of the male-dominated musicals 1776 and Pirates of Penzance.
