Well, dear readers, in the breaking news department, I am drinking a Stewart’s Diet Black Cherry soda pop, sinc e I am curr ently out of Di et Coke. There are side effects to drinking Stewart’s Diet B lack Ch erry soda p op – for example, when one types one sudd enly leaves un seemly spaces in the mid dle of wo rds. This side effect, however, is poradic. Another ide effect is that you occaionally leave the letter “s” out of word. I do hope these here notes are not too hard on the eyes. The side effects seem to have abated for the time being, so I’ll try to write these here notes swiftly before they return. Speaking of side effects, yesterday I spent the entire first half of the day trying to catch up on things. For example, I packaged up a bunch of orders, although I only shipped a few of them. The rest ship this morning. I then did a lot of prep work for last night’s production meeting at LACC. I returned quite a few telephonic calls, and answered quite a few e-mails. After that, I toddled over to LACC, where I auditioned about twenty first and second year students. I found six usable singers for the show, so that was good. Then the show’s co-director, Al Rossi, and I grabbed a bite to eat at a little seafood jernt on Melrose, one of Al’s hangouts. If you dine there before six o’clock, everything on the menu is half-price. I had the fried shrimp, which came with a salad, asparagus, and potatoes, and Al had fried shrimp and some other fried fish combo platter. The entire meal cost twelve dollars for the two of us. I then attended the production meeting, which lasted way longer than I thought it would. But, we hammered out some details, especially about ticket pricing and corporate sponsorship, as well as discussing when publicity for the show would begin (now). I then came home, where I sat on my couch like so mcuh fsih. Uh oh. I think the side effects have come back – this time mixing up the letters in famiilar wrods.
Last night, I watched no motion pictures on DVD, as I was too exhausted to even turn on the television. Instead, I opened a bottle of Stewart’s Diet Black Cherry soda pop, whihcc hass caussed alll mannner of sidde efffects, such as addding an extraa letter in wordss.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below, because frankly, these side effects are becoming very annoying.
There, the side effects seem to have abated, once again. I love when side effects abate, don’t you?
Today I have quite a full day. For example, I must arise. After that, I must do various and sundried tasks. I must catch up on my writing, I must catch up on my shipping, I must catch up on my bill paying, I must catch up on my errands, and I must prepare for yet another evening production meeting, this one for my play. Prior to the production meeting I shall take supper with our very own Miss Tammy Minoff.
I had a very interesting semi-offer from the head of the Theatre Arts department at LACC. I am pondering it, but I must say I find it intriguing. When I’ve thought a bit more about it, and when the head of the department has thought a bit more about it, I shall ask for opinions, oh, yes, I shall ask for opinions. Did you know that if you took the “pi” out of “opinions” that you’d have onions? I ask you, where else on all the Internet can you find such information? Nowhere, that’s where.
I have often said that parents are just using all these incredibly old-fashioned names for their children – names you never thought you’d hear again – like Max and Sam and Zachary and Sophie and Lily. Up until the 90s, no one would be caught dead using those names – those were the names of old people. Now, you get everything, every ridiculous old name in the old name book. Except one: Egbert. That is the one name that parents haven’t come around to. Well, in my auditions yesterday, I had a fellow named Egbert. Go know.
Now wait just a darned minute. We’d better all put on our pointy party hats and our colored tights and pantaloons, we’d all better break out the cheese slices and the ham chunks, we’d all better dance the Hora and the bunny hop because today is dear reader JMK’s actual birthday. So, let’s give a big haineshisway.com birthday cheer to JMK. On the count of three: One, two, three – A BIG HAINESHISWAY.COM BIRTHDAY CHEER TO JMK!!!
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must write, I must ship, I must go hither and thither and, if I’m feeling up to it, yon, I must do a little thisa and a little thata, with an emphasis on the latter. Today’s topic of discussion: What are your all-time favorite documentary films – from any era? Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we, and let us hoe I doe not have any moe side effects from this soeda pop. Holy moley on rye, it’s started again.
