Becca: Wow, what a mess. And here I though I was the messy one��
⠀
Becca: Hey, you okay?
⠀
Julia: What happened? Why am I on the floor?
⠀
Julia: Oh. You're here.
⠀
Julia: Well, this is awkward…
⠀
Becca: It's very unlike you to disappear for almost a week, and to be this messy. Did something happen?
⠀
Julia: I-… um…
⠀
Julia: I've been trying to avoid you.
Becca: What? Did I do something?
⠀
Julia: Okay, here goes… I know you have a crush on me, but I'm not interested in you that way, and I didn't want to hurt your feelings, so I thought I could avoid you for a while so you'd forget about having a crush on me.
⠀
Becca: Julia!
Julia: Please don't cry.
⠀
Becca: *Sigh*
⠀
Becca: Did you really think that would solve anything?
⠀
Julia: No, not really… but I wanted to give it a try anyway. Aren't you hurt hearing that though?
⠀
Becca: Of course I am. Who wouldn't be? But I'm glad you're okay.
⠀
Julia: Okay, this turned out better than I expected.
⠀
Julia: I dunno if you want to talk more, but I'm way too tired for that right now.
Becca: Then you should get some sleep. In your bed. Lying on your side. We can talk more later.
⠀
Becca: But you should know that I'm so gonna get you to join a study group and make you party less.
Julia: No more juice?
⠀
Becca: I didn't say that, but if you pass out on the floor from it, then it's probably good to think about cutting down on it.
⠀
Becca: You were right, she was in her room.
⠀
Jordan: How's she doing?
⠀
Becca: Okay, I guess. She had passed out on the floor. I think we'll need to help her to get back to her studies and to drink a bit less. I have a question for you though.
⠀
Becca: Did you know that she was trying to avoid me?
Jordan: She didn't tell me, but I had my guesses. I'm sorry for not telling you. Did she say why?
⠀
Becca: Yes. She didn't want to hurt my feelings…
Jordan: Thought so.
⠀
Jordan: It seems like you're taking it fairly well. I thought you'd be heartbroken.
⠀
Becca: I mean, I am… but I'm currently more relieved that she's okay. I might cry when that relief goes away though.
⠀
Later.
Julia: Are you okay with being just best friends?
Becca: Not yet, but I will be, eventually. Now I want to hear what you've been up to.
Julia: I'd love to tell you! I've made new friends, and did you know that there's this weird place where mushrooms grow in circles? …

Creed III (dir. Michael B. Jordan).
Full of issues of Black male identity and confronting a legacy of violence, Jordan makes Donnie a family man with ghosts from his past. How his family deals with Dame's arrival sets up an intriguing yet mildly conventional confrontation. Both are vulnerable and irrationally emotional when confronted with their past actions that lead up to their inevitable standoff.

Song Review: John Mayer Trio - “They Love Each Other” (Live, Sept. 23, 2023)
He may have left Dead & Company, but John Mayer hasn’t left the Grateful Dead songbook behind.
Appearing at the Crossroads Guitar Festival with his eponymous trio, Mayer on Sept. 23 performed “They Love Each Other” in his own style.
With drummer Steve Jordon providing the glue and bassist Pino Palladino playing co-leads with Mayer’s guitar, the former Company man easily shifted the Dead song to his live repertoire.
The problem, as always, is Mayer’s vocal delivery, which veers from over-pronounced whining to off-key high notes. Dude sings as poorly as he plays magnificently. And his singing detracts mightily from his playing.
Grade card: John Mayer Trio - “They Love Each Other” (Live - 9/23/23) - B-
9/24/23

Suddenly Seymour! See an exclusive first look at Darren Criss and Evan Rachel Wood in Little Shop of Horrors
The "Glee" and "Westworld" alums star in the Westside Theatre's off-Broadway production through March 31.
After her biting performance on True Blood and violent Westworld adventures, Evan Rachel Wood is no stranger to a bloody good time — but now she's the one in danger of being bitten.
The Emmy-nominated actress just made her debut as Audrey in the Westside Theater's ongoing production of Little Shop of Horrors alongside Emmy-winning Glee and The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story star Darren Criss as Seymour, and EW has an exclusive first look at the new costars in action.
The Westside's award-winning off-Broadway production kicked off in October 2019 with Jonathan Groff as Seymour and Tammy Blanchard as Audrey, and has since seen a cavalcade of stars step into the roles. Recent Seymours have been Gideon Glick, Jeremy Jordan, Conrad Ricamora, Skylar Astin, Rob McClure, Matt Doyle, and Corbin Bleu. The roster of Audreys include Lena Hall, Maude Apatow, Joy Woods, and Constance Wu.
“The casting of this show has become one of the greatest joys of our lives,” Little Shop producers Tom Kirdahy, Hunter Arnold, and Rob Ahrens, said in a statement in December when Wood and Criss were announced as joining the cast alongside Bryce Pinkham as Orin the dentist and Stephen DeRosa as Mr. Mushnik.
“The fact that in year five, we continue to attract talent like Evan Rachel Wood and Darren Criss is a testament to Howard Ashman’s and Alan Menken’s Little Shop of Horrors being one of the finest achievements in musical theater — and to Michael Mayer’s perfectly and joyously staged production," the statement continued. "As two of the most daring, enticing, and dynamic stars of their generation, we cannot wait to see the magic that real-life friends Evan & Darren bring to their roles.”
Loosely based on the 1960 black comedy movie The Little Shop of Horrors (starring Jack Nicholson as Orin!), Ashman and Menken's Little Shop of Horrors follows the bloody misadventures of a well-meaning florist named Seymour as he attempts to raise a snappy, tough-talking, man-eating plant named Audrey II. Their musical premiered off-off-Broadway in 1982 before eventually hitting Broadway proper, then then became a movie starring Rick Moranis and Ellen Green in 1986.
