Oh, Studio Sixty.

Studio Sixty is like the girlfriend you've had (well, okay, for the majority of you, boyfriend) who seems so incredible at first that you just want to be near them, without cherishing any hopes of them ever knowing your name. Then you somehow miraculously manage to catch their eye, and for a few blissful months you are deliriously* happy together. But slowly you start to realise that while they are still fantastic they are also completely mad and used to belong to a cult and they eat strange things and may have done prison time, they're a little vague about that, or may just have spent the year living in a teepee**.

So you do the smart thing and break up with them or at least wait until they go on permanent hiatus, but then one night you get a drunken booty call informing you that they're BACK from hiatus and/or living in a teepee, and let's go for drinks, and before you know it you're shipping Simon/Tom all over again even though you know you'll regret watching it in the morning, especially the bit where the host has to do her monologue with no cue cards.

Which I skipped. But I can't stop watching.

I WISH I KNEW HOW TO QUIT YOU, STUDIO SIXTY.

* I typo'd this as deliciously. Am I the only on who thinks it's suspicious that they're only one letter different from each other?
** I knew a guy who did this. I asked him why. He said, "Because I got tired of paying an electricity bill."
On the same day as I get a letter of interest from a theatre about a one-act I wrote, someone emails me to ask if I'd like to do a set design for a show for another theatre, and the Spellcast Podcast goes up.

WHAT THE HELL, WORLD. Sam is pleased, but also puzzled.

Especially since I've been waiting impatiently for the Spellcast to go up because it means I get to hear The Three Trials of Severus Snape performed live in front of an audience, and now that I have it on my hard drive I'm too neurotic to open it and listen to it.

It's not that I think the performers will have done a bad job. Oh no, that would be too easy. Me? I'm going to listen and cringe at everything I wrote wrong and the fact that I forced those poor actors to SAY things I wrote wrong and the audience had to listen to ALL THE WRONG I WROTE.

If you need me I will be in my bed, having a nervous breakdown.
