Entr'acte

Have you ever wondered what life would be life if each day was its own play, complete with its own Entr'acte?

I started thinking about this today because I spent a lot of time on the computer. I mean, I always spend a lot of time on the computer while at work, but today I had a lot of focused time doing course uploads, which meant that I had the space to set my iPod to shuffle and just work without too many interruptions (while occasionally bobbing my head to the music).

In the middle of one of many course uploads, the song switched to the Entr'acte from the Broadway revival of Flower Drum Song. And it was this that caused me to ask the question at the head of this blog.

I think it would be really cool to go through your day, and all of a sudden, kind of like a lunch break, the lights fade and the orchestra swells into a musical review of the day so far and you get to retreat "off camera" for five minutes. Kind of like a combination of Seinfeld episodes: the one where George has to leave his meetings on a high note and the one where George takes naps under his desk.

So maybe the general conclusion here is that I deeply, subconsciously want to be George Costanza. Either that, or I really like Rogers and Hammerstein and wish that they could join my day more often.
