Oh, Les Mis fandom. Even if you're dead, I'll keep kicking you until you at least move.

Mmkay. I'm going to be away all weekend, at my cousin's wedding and then in NYC on Sunday. This pretty much marks the end of the weekly Les Mis trips--I might go to Valjean Understudy Week in June, especially if Jeff Kready's on, and there might just possibly be a trip out to Sacramento in the works. Because omg Brad Little as Javert AND Les Mis in the round? I can't miss that. But those are special events. I'm going to try and keep the show from being a regular strain on my bank account until the Philly one opens this time next year.

After that, there is a giant, shiny heap of other LM-fandom things I've been neglecting while devoting all my energy to seeing the show. To-do list includes:

- Raid the UMD College Park library for Révolutions du XIXe siècle, trial records, and other really hardcore nerdy stuff.
- Find a ridiculously hi-res map of pre-Haussmann Paris. Either that or get close-up scans of areas of interest.
- Obtain an extensively annotated Brick. Allem's is good. Anything else that necessitates keeping one bookmark in the novel and a second one in the footnotes also works.
- Finish updating the web site. Holy god, I've had the update mostly complete since December. There's only one more section I need to finish and then I'll be able to upload the whole overhauled thing.
- Stop being a bad mod at lesmiz. Run the caption contest on time. Make discussion posts. Fun things like that.
- Exorcize a few plotbunnies that have been gnawing at me.
- Type up and translate some of the additional material in my french!Brick. Not all of it is directly relevant, but there is some pretty cracked-out fun stuff in there.
- Watch a few of those movie adaptations that Dad got me through Netflix.
- Read more of Hugo's poetry. Not directly related but fun. :) I'm glad I have a bilingual selection of his poems, though, because that man's vocabulary makes me feel like a first-year French student.
- ...speaking of, maybe I should actually, y'know, start taking French again. Um. It occurs to me that reading/translating Hugo with what functionally amounts to two years of French class, four or five years ago, might be an achievement of some sort.
