I sat down in my desk chair this morning and wrapped myself up in a blanket because it's kind of chilly. A couple minutes later Anna dashed in, hopped onto my lap and gave me a dirty look- as if to say, you got out the blanket and didn't tell me?? Then she turned in circles a few times and settled down, purring furiously. I love having a cat.
Monday I finished up Aida. It took about an hour, then I spent a couple more finishing up my gel file cabinet organization project. I'm pretty damn pleased with the outcome. There are a few more things to organize, and it's not perfect, but it's sooo much better than before. All it took was a bit of time. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it's probably because I started the file cabinet project many moons ago, and just now got around to finishing it up. Monday evening we watched Heroes. It was a good start to the new season. Lots of questions to answer!
Tuesday I went in to work and started my dimmer check as usual, to find that the entire first rack of dimmers wasn't working. That meant zero lights were working front of house. I had no idea how to fix that, so I called SMJ, who came over to save the day. After poking at several things, they came back to life. We didn't really figure out what was wrong, and that's never good. If it happens again and we can't get them up at all, there are several backup plans. First plan was to turn on the Studio Spots and use them to frontlight wash the whole stage. (The set is small. This would have worked.) Plan 2 was to turn on the followspot and have SMJ followspot the whole show. (It's a one woman show. This also would have worked.) Comedy option three was to give the audience free booze so they'd be so drunk they wouldn't care what it looked like. This led people to suggest that we should have had free booze all through tech. Yeah, and if wishes were horses we'd all be eatin' steak.
Wednesday Donald stayed home sick, and spent most of the day sleeping on the couch and feeling crappy. We got Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy from Netflix, and tried to watch it in the afternoon. I say tried because it was a really crappy movie. I dozed off once, and then gave up entirely and got ready for work. I sure hate it when a good book is turned into a bad movie. That night was opening night, and it went just fine. All dimmers kindly performed their dimming, the audience clapped, then we ate nibbles at the opening night party.
Thursday I went for a walk in the morning, washed some dishes in the afternoon, did the show in the evening, and watched the tape of the Grey's Anatomy season premiere that Donald kindly remembered to record. We're so hooked on that show.
I have the ForecastFox extension installed. It puts today's weather in the bottom of my browser. I just glanced over and saw a curly looking symbol I'd never seen before. I moused over it and saw that it was predicting wind, but not until after I thought to myself, "Ah, sunny with a chance of squigglies." Now I'm picturing squigglies falling from the sky.
It'd be different!

I was on the phone with my sister today and she was in the middle of telling me a story when Wash jumped up on me and proceeded to take over my chest, forcing me into a horizontal position.
I need to organize our papers in some sort of filing system. Right now there all just stuffed in some boxes.
Your new nickname is now "horse meat."
I totally slept through part of Hitchhiker, too.
I made this joke the other day that I was going to go home, light some candles and curl up in the bath, get out and with my hair up in a towel and cuddled in the terrycloth bathrobe, gobble up a big bowl of Edy's while I watched Grey's Anatomy in the dark. I may have expanded on the joke in this comment, but the spirit was there in the original.
If I had ForecastFox on I'd put my location in as the Caribbean or something so it would look like constant Hurricanes and Monsoons.
Once again, my cat is holding my lap hostage.
You should get some of those accordion file folders to organize your papers.
It was a Firefly quote. :)
When we watch movies late at night, the chances of me dozing off go up steeply.
You don't have any hair to wrap up in a towel!
It's really odd when there's a communication glitch and it just reads zero degrees in all categories. Then I like to joke that the world has ended and there's no weather at all.
I am terrified of the weather that earns the flaming thermometer. Also, I think it can get so cold the iced over thermometer gets replaced with something that made me cry last winter, and it seems I have blocked it out of my mind.
