Well, dear readers, here is what I have learned: When you eat a big burrito at Casa Vega, said big burrito lodges itself in your stomach like a projectile and stays there until you think you are going to explode and splatter big burrito bits everywhere the eye can see. I learned this the hard way by eating a big burrito at Casa Vega for the very first time. While the big burrito was very yummilicious it was so hugely filling that I was hugely full of that big burrito. It had rice and chicken and other stuff, it was topped with chili con queso and there was a little guacamole and sour cream on it, too. I decided to have it because I’d eaten a little lunch earlier and I thought this would be less food and calories than my usual two cheese enchiladas and one beef taco with rice and beans and guacamole and sour cream. Little did I know that the big burrito would be BIG, like in gigantic, like in humungous. And yet, I ate the whole damn thing up and now I am paying the price ($12.00) and sitting here as if I had a one-hundred pound weight in my stomach. And there we had the tale of the big burrito.
Otherwise, yesterday was just that kind of day. I didn’t actually get out of bed until almost eleven-thirty, but that is because I did not fall asleep until after two and I was up at heaven knows what time for about an hour and then back to sleep, then up thanks to my noisy neighbors, then back to sleep. By noon I was at lunch, having a cup of chicken soup and some chicken tenders, which were not too good, actually. Then I came home, got the approval for our next release, did some work on the computer and then it was time for rehearsal.
The rehearsal was much smoother than Monday’s, with barely any hiccups. No one’s really 100% on their lyrics yet, save for Sami and Sarah Staitman, but Sami’s doing two songs she knows and Sarah only has one song. But everyone mostly knows the stuff and they just need to get solid on it by tomorrow. But I was able to tell that the show will be really good and a lot of fun. Then I went to Casa Vega with the Staitmans, where I had a big burrito, which I still have all these hours later.
I was too tired to watch a motion picture, so I listened to one of our upcoming releases and did more work on the computer until it was time to write these here notes. Then I wrote these here notes because it was time to write these here notes.
Today, I have a noon o’clock lunch meeting during which I’ll have lunch and a meeting. We’re going to a fun coffee shop and I’ll have to have something light but amusing to offset the forty-pound burrito I ate. After that, I’ll hopefully pick up some packages, and then I’m going to shut my gaping maw and rest my voice whilst watching motion pictures.
Tomorrow, she of the Evil Eye comes and I’ll jog then do errands and whatnot whilst she does her thing. There IS a book fair this weekend, so I suppose I could traipse over to the Dena of Pasa for a couple of hours, but I really don’t think I want to. Then we have our stumble-through, after which several of us will break our Yom Kippur fasts and have a nice meal somewhere where they serve nice meals. Sunday is sound check and show and I will, of course, have a full report. Then on Monday, we finish casting the November show and I finish choosing those songs and gather up the music. We also announce our new title on Monday, then the rest of the week is meetings and meals and seeing stuff.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, have a noon meeting, hopefully pick up packages, rest my voice and relax. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Friday – what is currently in your CD player and your DVD/Blu and Ray player? I’ll start – CD, Kritzerland projects. DVD, a documentary about Carmen Miranda. Your turn. Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I hit the road to dreamland looking five months pregnant thanks to the big burrito. The Big Burrito – that sounds like an Irwin Allen disaster movie.
