Rehearsal, dogs and soap.
Well, rehearsal yesterday, again, was
great.� Really hot, but great.� Saw two really funny path shows by the
Joust Maidens and the Scots.� We discovered that Prince Jamie really ISN'T
a dunderhead after all, but faking dumb, and he is really a sophisticated Sean
Connery type when no one else is looking, at least not Mommy Maggie.� And
speaking of Mommy Maggie, she is learning to embrace her inner
crabbiness!!� You go Kathy!!!� Keep those five reasons for people to
do what you say poised and ready!� Fairies are awesome.� Pirates
rock.� Spain, too funny.� Hell, EVERYONE is good this year!� The
drama llamas are nipped in the bud, and the groups work....� I know, I keep
harping on that, but its SO important!� So this was the last regular
rehearsal before dress rehearsal.� AND, it was also tech rehearsal and was
the easiest tech rehearsal I have ever had.� YEA Chris and Stephen and the
other sound guy whose name escapes me at the moment!� You guys rock.�
Now, if we can get dress rehearsal weekend's temps down to a reasonably
comfortable spot, could we ask for anything better?�� I need to get one of the sleeves on my
dress fixed.� I loaned it to a girlfriend to wear to a Halloween party last
year, and I guess someone was holding a cigarette and burned the sleeve.�
Its on the underside of the sleeve and would be covered by the natural folds in
the fabric so as to no be noticeable once its sewn up.� I know she didn't
mean for anything to happen to it and didn't even realize it until a few days
ago.� Mark Jones' wife Kat made me an Italian style head piece to wear
which is GORGEOUS.� I need to figure out how I am actually going to do my
hair when I wear it.�� Also, do I want to keep it on with bobby pins,
or, do I want to string a ribbon through it and just tie it on.� So many
options! On my way home after dinner last night,
that blissful carryover was shattered when I saw a dog get hit by a car on 249,
right after it splits from one lane to two.� I had to swerve out of the way
myself to avoid being hit by the car that hit the dog.� I hope the dog died
instantly.� It was more or less side swiped by the SUV and not run
over.� It took me most of the night to get that image out of my head when I
tried to close my eyes to get to sleep. And
I just discovered that my son took a couple of chomps on a bar of Ivory
soap.�� Song
Virus du Jour:� Not really a song virus, but a musical genre
virus.� Cowpunk, aka:� Punkabilly, aka Gothabilly, is an early 80's
fusion of new wave, punk and rockabilly.� Its way cool.�
Representative bands include Guadalcanal Diary, The Rave-Ups, Jason and the
Scorchers, and even Dwight Yokam. Useless
Trivia du Jour:� Sassafras, a root bark that was once used in the
making of root beer up until the 1960's, is carcinogenic.� Read about it here. Preggo
Craving du Jour:� Potato and egg breakfast tacos from Tornado
Taco.� Muy sabrosas!� That means YUM!
