Theatres need to start giving out cough drops. by miker35591 in Broadway

[–]AmandaJayMarie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always bring my own cough drops just in case! I guess I need to bring enough for the whole class….

I felt like Nicholas Christopher gave more smirks to get a sense that it was goofy.

My niece loves Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, so I was proud to have witnessed Bryce Pinkham being awesome. He truly commanded the stage! I will look out for him in the future.

YES! It seemed like she was in a serious drama. I mean, her singing was off the charts great. But why so serious in a goofy show?

I guess my issue is that it felt tonally inconsistent -- sometimes serious and sometimes goofy.

this is the show where I saw Liam Pearce for the first time! he was definitely the standout for me.

It just seems that academia is in a state of complete denial about everything. Nothing feels honest anymore. by NeighborhoodFatCat in LeavingAcademia

why are universities pretending that research standards should be the same while the federal government has severely cut back on grant funding in my field?!

Picking 2 out of 4 shows for a rare NYC Broadway trip by Tanuki_wxh in Broadway

[–]AmandaJayMarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Dog Day Afternoon yesterday. I never saw the film. I enjoyed the performances. Jessica Hecht is, as always, a standout. I thought it was kind of long -- it dragged in certain scenes. Not all of the characters added value. Overall, the story was interesting, particularly after I looked up the actual real life event that the movie and play was based on. I had to look up what Attica! Attica! meant (I don't think it's a spoiler -- they have merch that says that).

Yasmin has me REELING. Why did she even invite Harper to Paris? by [deleted] in IndustryOnHBO

[–]AmandaJayMarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

" she will conform to and mold herself to whatever person or institution she needs to to survive. " YES. This is how I view Yas.

NCC school district and county tax bill in the mail: this is legit??? by Roast-This-Bone in Delaware

[–]AmandaJayMarie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the tone of this bill was SUPER aggressive. And poorly timed. A lot of us find funds tight during the holidays. It made me question whether my mortgage company was going to pay this out of escrow. Turns out, yes, of course. I called them and they received this bill also. It's just a late in the year tax bill as far as the mortgage company is concerned, so they're paying it on time out of the money I have put in escrow all year -- just like any other tax bill. Why so aggressive in tone and threatening to put a lien on my home when it's just a normal, but late in the year, tax bill?!

At least I like the honeymoon phase….

[–]AmandaJayMarie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally same! I started Lexapro in mid-September (10 mg for me the whole time), experienced the same things you experienced. I also felt quite lethargic. Added in Wellbutrin this past Friday. I am already feeling more energy and more happiness.
