I know WAY too many people in this trailer.  It's a little scary.

Article on APT.

Speaking of wildlife, last night we were rehearsing on stage, accompanied by the constant chirping of bats.  They flew around for us a bit, too.  It was nice.

"dreams and sewing machines" - Imogen Heap

To give you some background, yesterday I had a sore throat and splitting headache.  After work I planned to go striaght home and to bed.... but then I heard the SMs wanted to go to The Shed for a pizza... which I couldn't say no to.  So I went, and on a night when I normally would have stayed there much longer than my SM friends, I had one beer and then went home, craving bed.

Thus begins sleep.

I was at a bar (which seemed to be someone's living room) with the SMs, and a few other work people (faceless, of course...)  I was flirting with a cute boy, but it wasn't going too well and I felt rejected.  I also felt very diroriented - drunk - but like gaps of time were missing from the night.  When we went to leave, I forgot that I had driven to the bar and was surprised to see my ride, Rosie the Golf Cart.  So, I started driving her home alone, confused that I didn't remember driving over there.  But at every intersection I went past, there was some kind of car crash.  No people, just smashed cars in the middle of intersections.  I knew that there must have been some natural disaster (earthquake? a tornado would be much more likely), and again, was confused that I didn't remember feeling an earthquake.

So, I get home (it's day now) to my house in PA.  I walk in the front door (which I never do), and everything is on fire.  There's a little balloon of no fire just inside the front door, but aside from that, everything is up in flames.  I can tell that there's no way that the animals could have gotten out, and worry about them passed out in some part of the house where I can't get to them.

Rewind.

I open the front door, and a cat immediately runs out to safety.  No dog though.

Rewind.

I open the front door, and now the area of no fire has expanded to include the entire front hallway.  At the end of it I can see Stacey, who looks absolutely fine.  I call her, and she comes bounding down the hallway and out the door to safety.  I grab her collar (the electric fence one, although she doesn't get shocked) and teather her to a post we have in our front yard.  Then I notice Mrs. Henneke doing yard work in her lawn next door.  So I comment to her from where I am that my whole house is on fire.  "That's why I'm tying the dog up out here."

She comes over, and says it's weird that the fire alarm isn't going off.  I walk back into the house to check and see if the fire alarm batteries are dead, but they seem fine.  It's really hot in the house, obviously.

Too hot to bear, so I wake up, and I am SO hot and feel SO sick.  So I take my temperature, and of course it's above 100.

I like the way my dream incorporated the heat.  And how when something was to painful to deal with, my dream corrected it.  That's so nice of my dream.

And now I have an unexpected day off.  Time to get back in bed.

TGIWednesday!

This week has been great - today I got a sunburn during rehearsal, Monday was a great day off, tonight is the season finale of LOST!  Yes, I will be viewing it with friends.  :)

However, sad news:

Veronica Mars: Officially Cancelled
Kristen Bell Lands New Gig

The CW has formally announced their Fall 2007 schedule on Thursday, and it has been confirmed that Veronica Mars is not on the schedule for a fourth season.

There was the thought that, if creator Rob Thomas can come up with some scripts for Veronica Mars: FBI by June 15, that the CW could reconsider, but considering the show's recent string of dismal ratings this is seeming very unlikely. Rob Thomas himself has said at E! Online that he is "out of hope."

Also putting a kink in the likelihood of Veronica's return: Kristen Bell has signed on to be the self-titled narrator in The CW's NEW series, Gossip Girl. Could this be an attempt to placate disappointed Veronica fans after a cancellation? You can read all about Kristen's new job at Entertainment Weekly's website where the article was first broken.

If Veronica Mars is indeed over, then the episodes airing on May 22 will be the last we see of her. Considering that the show was initially more of a hit with fans and critics than it was in the ratings race, the fact that Veronica lasted as long as it did was an accomplishment.

horoscope time

Acting too hastily could result in a meltdown. So ride hard on any impulses that seem overwhelming. You know the way a mother tells her child to wait until they get home? Keep telling that to your inner child.

I shall keep on telling myself that.
Today I had a "wow, I'm stupid moment"...but really, I'm NOT so stupid, because whenever I have a feeling about something in my gut and tell my gut to shut up, my gut is somehow ALWAYS RIGHT.  It must be a talent; if only I could somehow get paid for it.

Today was a beautiful day.  It was a long week, but I suppose a good one.  It took me until Wednesday to get homesick for Milwaukee (a week and a half is a long time for me!), but then the feeling went away again and all is well.

Time to watch some Buffy, shower...then watch some West Wing.

warning

I have a short fuse today.

 

Leave me alone.

 

What do you want to bet that people won't heed my warning?

end game

Good to Know.

2010, eh?  That's a catchy-sounding year.

Kristin (E! Online says):

I'm told that when we see the "game-changer," which the show's writing team is calling "the snake in the mailbox," at the end of the May 23 season finale, we will understand why the show cannot go longer than 48 more episodes.

Well...phallic-ly speaking, that would just be plain wrong.

sigh. TV shows

Remember when Veronica Mars was good?

I'm going to continue watching this season through to the end, in the hopes that it WILL end with a season renewal and that next season it'll shoot forward 4 years so that we can stop watching this stupid going-to-college business.

Perhaps in the meantime they can remember the things we liked about Veronica and the show itself in Season 1 and reincorporate those things.

Please?

As for my other TV obsession, what I would consider to be good news.

Recycling

I was wondering how I could recycle my old digital camera.  Then I found this site:

Cool.

I am so incredibly sore today from all the taping we did over the past two days.  Tomorrow I'm not going to be able to move!  But afterwards we went to an awesome fish fry, so I guess it was worth it.  And tomorrow after work we're going to a bonfire dinner party thing.  EXcellent.

I Need More Sleep

Here's the proof.



Goodnight.

Introductions are in order

Meet my new camera!  (I went with the silver color at a cheaper retailer, FYI).  It should be here in about a week.  Yippee!

Work today was uneventful; tomorrow is going to be a very full day, but afterwards we're going to go to the fish fry across the street from my conventy home, so I'm looking forward to it!

I really love Culver's.

why...

...am I not surprised?

Mr. Broadway

In other news, the third day of work finds me well.  Yesterday I had a short bout of believing I had kidney stones, but whatever that was is cleared up now.  So, anyway, this week has been great.  Lots of cleaning out rehearsal halls and dusting off furniture, today I spent quality time with the copier, and tomorrow we tape out the first three plays in the Large Rehearsal Room, the veranda, and on stage.  Oh, and I'm pretty damn good at driving a golf cart both up the hill AND down it.  :)

On Tuesday we start rehearsal for Much Ado About Nothing, Misalliance, and Merchant of Venice.  Yes, that would be three plays.  What??
