Lady in Pinafore: Don't you find it odd that the Irish are portrayed so poorly in Ragtime when the novel it is based on was written by an Irishman?
Me: Really? Doctorow doesn't sound very Irish.
Lady: Well he is.
Me: I'm going to look it up. (pause for the iphone to operate it's magic.) He was born in the Bronx of Russian Jewish Decent.
Lady: Oh - I wonder why I thought he was Irish...oh it's about time for us to go on...
I have to say - all of this stupidity makes me miss directing - I forgot how good I am at all this dramaturgy and theatrical analyzation stuff --- and it's funny watching people be confused - wait - aren't you the ballerina who wants to be a Disney Princess - where does this other side come from?
To quote Shrek: I'm like an onion - onions have layers!:)
