insert clever title here

Yesterday was one of the most boring days off ever. I knew going home from rehearsal Sunday night that it would be boring, and my crankiness began. I was "home" by 8:30 Sunday, which is awesome, being that rehersal was scheduled until midnight. The problem is that I don't really have anything to do or anywhere to go here. So I sat in my room, watched some TV and went to bed early.

On Monday, I had to get up early of all things to go in to the theater so the Set Designer could oversee some notes. It was either that or sit in hotel room all day. So I went, and was annoyed at the unreliable connection they have there for several hours. About noon I decided to walk and get myself some lunch. I took my time, being in no hurry. When I got back I played a little Rollercoaster tycoon. Then we went back to the hotel and I took a nap until about dinnertime, since I was all tired out from... well, nothing.

After dinner we finally did something, and went to listen to some more live music for an hour or 2, and the Sound Designer joined us. I was glad I took my earplugs, because it was loud. Since I couldn't hear much of anything over the music with or withour earplugs, that was the perfect time for the 2 of them to have a conversation about how much they get paid for stuff like this. Talk about valuable information to a student like me. I think I got the gist of it, but why couldn't they have that chat when I could actually hear??

I'm glad to be coming home soon.

I'm very disappointed in you guys that aren't posting. Don't you know you're supposed to entertain me while I'm out of town? :D

I am gonna go post right now. I LOVE ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON!!!!!!!!!! I have the old school version smushed together with people's own designed coasters which I love because I hate designing coasters and love winning the game.

I have never ever made a rollercoaster. I love building monorails and such. I have however, downloaded a bunch of scenarios from a couple websites. I have many many maps to conquer.

The stage manager saw the game on my laptop, and watched me play for about 15 minutes at lunch while we chatted about it. He says building rollercoasters was hard in the first one, and even harder in the 2nd.

If you don't have Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, and you want it, I can make you a copy when you're here. :)

ooooh! That sounds cool, although I adore the first one, so I am pretty happy with it.
