Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a mission and were accomplished, and now it is time for you to post until the accomplished cows come home.

And the word of the day is: NEMOROUS!

Happy to say that our Tuesday night show is completely sold out - we're overbooking, however, because I think we all know how reliable people are. The Monday night performance is over two-thirds gone right now.

Thanks for the info, DR Matt H.! :)

The specs on the forthcoming Blu-Ray 70th anniversary edition of The Wizard of Oz look pretty spectacular.

Hmmm...I think I found another advantage to Blu-Ray...
Last night at Target, I saw the new release of WOODSTOCK. They had the plain vanilla director's cut DVD release priced at $16.99. But then I spotted the 40th anniversary super special edition for Blu-Ray that contained all kinds of nifty-keen extras (encased in a box that was covered in fringed suede, 'natch!) Cool!, I thought--now where's the DVD version? Well, they had it--but it came in a big round drum-like box that had a tamberine for a lid. That would be fine if I needed a new container for my stash, but otherwise this thing was not going to fit neatly into any video shelf. I passed it up--if I decide I want it bad enough, I can get it cheaper on Amazon...

Must try not to fall asleep today. I think it's nap time when I get home this evening.
Later. :)

Last night BK asked:
How do I set up a Kritzerland on Twitter that's not the same as BK on Twitter - or whatever I am on Twitter.
BK, you can set up @Kritzerland but you will need a different e-mail address other than the one you are using for @haineshisway.
Also, you might want to go out to Twibes.com and join up with the theatre "twibe". It's a good way to find followers and followees.

Very cool! I just found the 40th Anniversary WOODSTOCK special edition for DVD on Amazon that is like the boxy Blu-Ray set I saw at Target. In fact, I didn't even see the drum/tamberine set--it must me a Target exclusive.
Ordered and awaiting its arrival.

DR elmore3003, have you read this? Was wondering if you had any opinion:

Good morning, all! I slept late and that's that.
Today, Jerome Moross: I need to organize all the work I have for his scores. PHI, once again, is taking its time paying us, so I can't afford a walk to the corner. I may watch a DVD this afternoon as well. I have one last Netflix sitting here, something Mexican, I think.
DR singdaw, Keith Garebian is a Canadan(?) author who, like Gerald Bordman, knows nothing. He works entirely from secondary sources - reviews and other books, often equally inaccurate sources - reports nothing new, and repeats errors from other sources. He has at least three show histories, GYPSY and MY FAIR LADY being the other two. I think for anyone living in the New York area, it's a waste of money: go to the NYPL theatre collection and look at the original photos, scrapbooks, programs,etc. and form your own opinion. It's much more entertaining than a half-assed history and your discoveries and findings may be different from a hack like Ethan Mordden as well!

Yep! why is it some good writers have a hard time finding a publisher and others like Mr Garebian can get three poor histories published?
See my previous post.

I have all three of his books and found them poorly researched and written. I wish there were better tomes out there about these classics. They're well represented in that marvelous coffee table book 101 GRAETEST MUSICALS (or whatever it's called), but they really deserve a thorough "making-of" book each.

Good morning!
It was cool enough this morning to open up the house once more, but it's going to be 92 today, so around noon, things will be closed up again. Such is life in the South. And there won't be many more days where I can open the doors and windows in the morning. Soon, it won't be dipping into the low 60s at night.
-
I'll be back on LOST island for most of the day today. There is SO much more adventure to go with the first season.
-
I will get to watch RESCUE ME while I eat lunch, so that will be a nice change of pace from the conundrums of LOST. Looking forward to seeing it during lunchtime.

My question for ASK BK day.....I think the HELLO DOLLY! cd was nominated for a Grammy.
How were notified that you had received a nomination?

Happy Happy Birthday to Anthony!

My question for ASK BK day.....I think the HELLO DOLLY! cd was nominated for a Grammy.
How were notified that you had received a nomination?
In classic style - I was awakened by a phone call at seven in the morning from Bill Rosenfield, who was then head of the BMG show division, telling me - needless to say that was quite the day.
-
Betsy and I decided to do our own custom-designed invitation for Gabe's upcoming Bar Mitzvah. This is what I came up with last night:
-
A very happy haineshisway.com birthday to Anthony.
-
I guess I need to head downstairs and tend to a few chores before I start thinking about what's for lunch.

These cretins who are building next door have taken up every single parking space not only on the street where the house is (one house north of me) but also the street that runs east and west (where the entrance to my house is) - the ONLY place they haven't taken is - where my car is parked. And since they're gone every night at five and I'm home after that, they will never ever get that space until I leave for the day. I think there's real bad feeling amongst all the neighbors here - real bad feeling.
-
I went into my history and found the page that came up when I restarted the computer, and that gave me the new jazzy page with the top sites stuff, which I like - but I have the roadrunner page set as my home page and now when I come back to Safari that's what I get. Do I have to get rid of that to see the new top sites page?
-
Betsy is probably flying back to Wisconsin (again) next week to help her Mom and Dad. The Producers' director was semi-irate that I'll have to bring my kids to the rehearsal, but, you know what? C'est la vie. The producer (no pun intended) is a mom and is totally fine with it. My kids are always well behaved at rehearsals, as BK will attest (Zach even went in the other room to vomit on the floor during the Bacharach rehearsals, LOL).
-
BK: I believe I've read you have a garage? If that is so, do you not also have a driveway? And if that is true, do you not use it?
Inquiring minds want to know these things! :)
-
Nice invite....a bit hard to read that font it red....did you try black?
-
Happy Birthday, dear Anthony! May you have more fun today than a whole car full of clowns (and actors). :D
-
Nice invite....a bit hard to read that font it red....did you try black?
It looks nice, but I was thinking the same thing. A simpler font (or one that isn't italicized) might work better. Then again, the original may be large enough and clear enough to not be a problem.
-
Congratulations on a great rehearsal, Bruce. Hope they continue to delight you!
-
Nice invite....a bit hard to read that font it red....did you try black?
It's actually quite easy on the hard copy--it doesn't translate well to the web. Black didn't work--we did try it. But I'm thinking a nice dark blue would be nice, so I'm going to experiment today.
-
I do have a garage and I do not use it for two simple reasons - it's very crowded in there (although I could park the car since the Handy Man organized everything) and I would not be able to get to the Kritzerland stock if the car was in there. More importantly, it's a really steep incline going up into the garage (don't know why, really, but it is) and it's impossible to not scrape the bottom of the car and when I was parking in there regularly it, in fact, punched a hole and caused an oil leak - so I park in front of the house now.

Wednesday morning greetings! Much to my surprise, I've spent the past hour our so putting together a trip to NYC for Richard and myself, June 28-July 4. He'd received a "Broadway on the 4th" email from the New York Times and suggested we go that week. I didn't give him time to change his mind!

Happy Birthday to Anthony!

BK - to get some of the toobar buttons in the new Safari, go to the "View" menu and click on "Customize Toolbar." I like the Zoom and the New Tab buttons.

*As for "Top Sites", when you have the "grid" in your browser, just click on "Edit" in the lower left-hand corner. You can then "Pin" the sites you want to keep there, or "X" them out.

Safari 4 is just an update to Safari 3. It opens the same way as it always has.
However, if your tool bar is grayed out, it sounds like you may need to re-download and re-install it again. ???

DR JOSE - what a deal. I ordered all three cables and with s/h it came to $10.35, less than the cost of one HDMI cable. I needed an optical audio cable anyway....whew!

Well.. The whole landlord/apartment saga continues here in Hamilton Heights. I just had another discussion with our property manager, and even though some of it was confusing, I did find out that she went ahead and put us on a month-to-month situation right now since she did not give us a new lease to sign when it was supposed to given to us. ::) So...
We are "safe" until the end of the month. However, unless we find two new roommates before the end of the week, it looks like we're going to have to move. Alas, with my current work situation, well... Just got lots of thinking to do.

Thank you. Fortunately my cold began on a flight from Copenhagen to Atlanta. Stories shall be told when I have photos.
I was very productive before leaving & did get a lot done around here. Once I'm feeling better I need to finish what I began & clean out my closet & drawers. I have clothes from 30 years ago I'm such a rat pack.
Sherlock went to camp & played with dogs all day long, once he settled in.

Not exactly. Make the (original) gray white; and the white gray. As if a white image was being printed on gray paper.
And if you un-bold the font, and maybe take it down one point in size, all the text could possibly fit in the middle of the star.
*Have you thought of using the Hebrew Calendar for the date? ;)

The last I'd read from her, DR Jane was taking a break to clean her house.
And now I read she's traveled to and from Copenhagen?

My Life Needs New Episodes (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/11/fashion/11spy.html)
"THERE was a time, before my husband got all of us hooked on watching old episodes of “The Wire,” when our block behaved like a typical suburban neighborhood.
Families ate dinner together. Laundry got done. Parents spoke to their children.
But then one night, a few weeks ago, my husband started passing around DVDs at a dinner party. The next thing the rest of us knew, we were addicted — and not just to this particular series about cops chasing drug dealers in Baltimore, but to a new way of life.
We started mainlining old TV..."

Lordy, DR Jose! This is terrible news. Didn't the tenants have a copy of this new lease? Are you the designated tenant-landlord liaison?
-
Thank you DR DAW.
DR Jose, APARTMENT VIBES!!!!
-
DR Ron, I did clean, & I did take a much needed break from the computer. My body doesn't like when I use the computer too much.
We then went on a Baltic cruise to celebrate 40 years of marriage. It is a real let down to come home sick, at least I felt great during the trip. I was very happy, relaxed, and saw some beautiful places. We had a wonderful celebration. :D
-
I may have to make a trip to Amherst College Library. The least expensive way is a 5-hour ride on a Peter Pan bus. Oy! I guess I'd better start planning this and find a place to stay overnight.
I wonder if Emily Dickinson would sign my book of her poetry while I'm there?

Lordy, DR Jose! This is terrible news. Didn't the tenants have a copy of this new lease? Are you the designated tenant-landlord liaison?
DR elmore - I made myself the tenant-landlord liaison since we never heard word back from our landlord until the middle of last week. I just didn't like the feeling of not knowing exactly what was going on with the lease, especially from a legal "what it says in the lease" standpoint. However, it has sort of worked in our favor. I was able to negotiate a reduction in the rent, and under the current arrangement, we can still stay in the apartment until the end of the month. And, if in the meantime, we do find two new roommates, then we'll just sign a new lease then. I'd say more about the negotiations, but... :-x
As far as work and rent are concerned, I can cover the rent right now. I just don't think I can cover rent, a move, another security deposit and another month's rent right now. Just breathing and taking it one day at a time right now.

Thanks.

A most happy birthday to Anthony, who I just saw yesterday...in photographic form, that is...I was putting (finally) my two NYC trip photos into photo albums and there were snaps of many DRs, past and present!

And Anthony thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!
We just got back from a day out in New York.
We went to Grant's Tomb (122nd Street)
Lincoln Center branch of the New York Public Library and the Astor Gallery for an exhibition of some of the papers of Katherine Heburn (66th Street)
and then
New York Public Library at 42nd Street for an exhibition on 1969, the first year of Gay Liberation (as it was called back then).
Now we are home and will go out to eat later.
Anthony received a card in the mail and a package from a friend in Wisconsin. I haven't given him his card and gift yet.
All in all, it's been a nice day. I'm out of the office, hell, it's been a great day!
-
I may have to make a trip to Amherst College Library. The least expensive way is a 5-hour ride on a Peter Pan bus. Oy! I guess I'd better start planning this and find a place to stay overnight.
I wonder if Emily Dickinson would sign my book of her poetry while I'm there?
You might at least get a piece of Black Cake out of her. She's always pushing it on people.
-
Thank you. I tried to stay away from Keith. I'll feel terrible if he gets this, he has soooo much hard work to do outside. Sherlock & I have been doing some major cuddling on the bed. I haven't walked him yet.
-
DR Ben - Sounds like you and Ant did have a great day. Have you thought about ending it by walking over the newly opened High Line? If so, I may see you there later. ;)

DR George,
The DVD I sent you of PUSHING DAISIES got returned today, so I must not have your correct address or I addressed it wrongly. Please PM me with your currenty address. Thanks. I'll try to mail it again on Friday.
Thanks! I just sent you my correct address. :)
I'm sorry this happened, DR George. I had the best of intentions. The address I had for you was obviously your previous address (when we exchanged those WILL & GRACE episodes several years ago). I have never had the address you sent me for your new condo. I'll put it in the mail on Friday if you still want it.
-
Thanks for the welcome backs :)

If DR Jane has the time to catch up with previous postings, she'll see that there have been folks asking about her, and that she knows we're all glad to have her back.

Boy, is it hot, and boy, am I ever STUPID! I left the door to my office open and all the cool air from the AC flowed out into the rest of the upstairs that I don't cool, so when I came upstairs it was hot as hell in this office. I have the floor fan going, and the AC is doing its thing, so it'll be pleasant in here soon enough, but I feel like a complete idiot.

Page Six Dance!!!
-
I watched last night's RESCUE ME while I ate lunch. Good episode except for of Tommy's (by now) boring sexcapades with Sheila. I am SO over that character and can't believe he can't come up with any better plotlines for himself. That story was done to death the first three years.
-
For the rest of the afternoon, I've been watching LOST episodes. I got four watched, but am a little disappointed I didn't get farther along.
-
I have one more episode on disc 4 before I can move on to disc five. In the episode I just finished, Charlie shot and killed the treacherous Ethan.
-
The only bonus features thus far have been commentaries. The last one had Maggie Grace and Ian Showhalder talking about their backstory episode where we find out the two are not actually brother and sister.
I didn't remember that there were two polar bears on the island.
-
I just glanced at an article on foods to avoid at restaurant chains. Now I want to try the fried macaroni & cheese at the Cheesecake Factory ;D
Why? Is it one of those foods you should avoid?? :D

I have a question for anyone that might know the answer, and it's about Hello, Dolly! - something of which we can never have enough of.
In 2000 or a little before, Tams-Whitmark began providing alternate keys for the character of Dolly Levi. I guess after many years of inquiries and things like that, they finally gave in. The new keys were a 5th or so above Carol Channing's original keys in the score. It was an additional rental, but worth it. Recently, a friend of mine who is directing a production of the show, noticed that the alternate keys were no longer listed on the TM website and when asked, TM said that they were not offering them anymore.
Does anyone know the reasoning for this?

A few minutes ago I had my monthly phone conversation with AT&T. I bought an AT&T phone a few months ago and the billing has been a nightmare. I call them up, they seem cooperative enough, and tell me that they've straightened it all out and I owe nothing. Then I receive a bill saying that I owe them hundreds of dollars (literally!). Today I made sure I got the name of the rep, so if we have to go through this again we won't be starting from zero. I take notes of all these calls and that helps, but when I asked for an email (or something) to document our conversation I was told that wasn't possible.
Gawd, what a drag!
OK, rant over.
I need to run an errand and grab some lunch. Maybe that will help.

I will head downstairs now and rejoin my boy friend Matthew Fox and other actors who are LOST.

Oh...
DR Jeanne - If you happen to be near an AT&T store in the near future, I'd go in there and talk to a sales/billing manager in person. Just to make sure it's documented. In person.

I meant to comment last night on DR Jennifer's wish that the GUYS AND DOLLS cast had done a number featuring the four leads. Unfortunately, there is no song in the show that all four leads sing, except for the brief reprise of GUYS AND DOLLS at the end of the show. In fact, other than a few bars in THE OLDEST ESTABLISHED, Nathan Detroit only sings one song and that is the duet of SUE ME, which would have gotten lost on the stage at Radio City. If they had wanted to showcase a number that might have sold a few tickets, they probably should have used LUCK BE A LADY TONIGHT. It features not only the male chorus, but also the far more charismatic Craig Bierko.

Well, I must say I'm amused that "The Donald" has -- after a couple of weeks -- FIRED Miss California USA. Not for her stance against gay marriage, but for her missing events at which she was required to appear AS "Miss California USA".

FOXNews (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,525750,00.html)
11-YEAR-OLD GEORGIA GIRL ORDERED TO LEAVE U.S. FOR POLAND OVER PAPERWORK ERROR
The last thing 11-year-old Ewelina Bledniak of Cummings, Ga., had in mind for her summer vacation was a deportation fight.
But Hubert and Agnes Bledniak's daughter, who has been in the U.S. since she was 2 years old, faces getting thrown out of America if she doesn't "voluntarily leave" the country by July 23.
If she doesn't go "home" to Poland — a country she hasn't seen since she was a baby — on her own, she'll be sent back involuntarily and not allowed to return for 10 years.
Ewelina's family came to America in 1999, and her father has become an American citizen. Her mother, a permanent resident, also is seeking to become a citizen. But because of a lawyer's mistake eight years ago, according to the Bledniaks, Ewelina can't stay in the U.S. with her parents.
The Bledniaks say their lawyer failed to file the proper documentation for Ewelina back in 2001 — a mistake that stayed under the radar until the family applied for their daughter's green card. It came back denied, automatically putting Ewelina into deportation proceedings.

I forgot one more thing
what are some used dvd/music store and books stores that I can visit in LA
-
When my grandfather became a citizen, so did his entire family. Of course his two youngest children (my father was the youngest), born in Philadelphia, were not included on his naturalization papers.
Vibes little Ewelina is back in school by the fall. She might enjoy visiting Poland for part of the summer, what we saw of it is beautiful.

I have a Canadian friend who almost got deported. She filled out all the paperwork that customs required every time she came into the country (she was a missionary for a while), and they nearly deported her because they gave her the wrong papers to fill out. They said she should have known.

Tempting but too risky. Don't they just send the kids off? I found the following:
"The Bledniaks plan to travel with Ewelina to Poland on July 20. Once there, they will have to wait for an interview with the U.S. Embassy. Embassy officials will evaluate Ewelina's documentation and make her undergo a medical examination. If the family's petition is granted, she will be permitted to return to the U.S., and to re-file for a green card."

I wonder what would happen if the family said to INS - fine, she's all yours - please find her appropriate accommodations in Poland.
Tempting but too risky. Don't they just send the kids off? I found the following:
"The Bledniaks plan to travel with Ewelina to Poland on July 20. Once there, they will have to wait for an interview with the U.S. Embassy. Embassy officials will evaluate Ewelina's documentation and make her undergo a medical examination. If the family's petition is granted, she will be permitted to return to the U.S., and to re-file for a green card."
That"s called Consular processing. She's a minor so she won't accrue ulawful presence. My guess is she'll get a green card

Boy, is it hot, and boy, am I ever STUPID! I left the door to my office open and all the cool air from the AC flowed out into the rest of the upstairs that I don't cool, so when I came upstairs it was hot as hell in this office. I have the floor fan going, and the AC is doing its thing, so it'll be pleasant in here soon enough, but I feel like a complete idiot.
I feel for ya! I do.
High here in Oakland CA today was F 69. It was a "warm" 69, though. Not like yesterday's very breezy and chilly F 69. We are supposed to get rain today. ANOTHER rain....IN JULY!
I don't know where I am any more.
Or what month!

Thanks DRs Daw and Jennifer

It is very nice to have you home, Jane.
Michael S., I would love to fly down and see NUDIE, but I can't take time off of work for a Monday or Tuesday performance.

In less than the year mentioned in the article I read? I hope they can book the interview date ahead of time, and have family to stay with.

Thank you DR TCB

Happy birthday, Anthony!

Is anyone claiming a name for their Facebook? Nothing happens if I ignore that, right?

I am very angry at the moment at PETSMART (I think that is a national chain). They always brag about how much they care about pets and people and how they only do adoption of animals through the Humane Society.
This morning I was there getting Nicky his hairball medicine, and I decided to take a look at what cats they were boarding for the Humane Society. I saw this one incredible little kitten (8 months old) a lynx point with a beautiful mask. His name was Jedi. As soon as I walked into the area he jumped down off of his bed and came to the front of the cage and started reachng through the bars to touch me. We immediately bonded, and although he was a little younger than I wanted, I decided to take him.
I took the paperwork for the Humane Society, we put a hold on Jedi until tomorrow at noon. I planned on going to the Humane Society at 9:00 when they opened, pay all the fees, then pick up Jedi and spend the rest of the day aclimating Jedi and Nicky.
PETSMART just called me and this snippy little bitch told me that there had been a mistake and that they already had a hold on Jedi, and that the people just came and got him. She said the other hold slip was stuck between the two pieces of paper. I told her I taken all of the paperwork off of the clipboard and read everything, and there was no other hold slip with his paperwork. That is when the girl got snippy and said, "Well, I don't know what to tell you, but there was two holds on the cat and the other people already took him." Good bye and thank you.
I feel like I lost Angel a second time. :'(

DR TCB I'm so very sorry.

Thank you DR FJL.

It's an absurd process and one of the reasons we need immigration reform. especially for the kids who came here with their families and now are in a similar position.
-
So sorry TCB.

I'm in very happy mode right now. I'm home and it's not 8PM yet. I've read the posts. I don't have to do anything but unload the car tonight. AND SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP. Under the covers by 10AM.

I just hope that Jedi ended up with as caring and loving an owner and parent as you are.

Dear Jose, roommate apartment vibes to you. Moving is expensive.

I'm sorry, TCB. (((((TCB))))) The best part about summer is that there will be LOTS of other kitties to choose from for the next few months.

I just made a big stink with the apartments down stairs, 5 units , one of which is stinking up my apartment with incense to cover up the rest. I've tried my best to put up with it for 5 months, but since Sunday I've had it. If I could afford to get out of this lease and leave I would. But now they are stuck with me.

Good Evening!
Well, I believe I may have just found my new favorite place in New York City... The High Line (http://www.thehighline.org). I had no real idea what to expect once I got down there, but once I walked up the stairs to the former elevated train tracks... WOW! A Total WOW!!!! -And, yes, I took pictures. Lots of pictures.
-
For all the posts I have not commented on, I'm sorry I zoned out the last couple of weeks.
REALLY BIG WONDERFUL HAPPY HEALTHY VIBES FOR EVERYONE.
-
Good night everyone.

Thanks for the all the Apartment/Roommate Vibes!...
Lo and behold, when I got home, I opened my email and there was an email from a med student who starts school on Monday and is still looking for a place to live. And it turns out the school location he'll be working out of is only a ten minute walk from here. So... We shall see... :)

So, to end this page, here's a pic of part of The High Line...

I was so pleased that I got 12 episodes of LOST watched today (8 this evening). Wall-to-wall LOST, and there are few things better than that.

I certainly was wiping a tear away during the Boone farewell episodes. And the first part of the season finale was also very tear-inducing.

Great photos Jose, thanks for sharing.

I think you should have the bitch put to sleep. And while you're waiting for her ashes, you can pick out another adorable kitty.

So I have one more episode of LOST to watch and then all of the bonus features.

Well, I must say I'm amused that "The Donald" has -- after a couple of weeks -- FIRED Miss California USA. Not for her stance against gay marriage, but for her missing events at which she was required to appear AS "Miss California USA".
None of them, of course, were events against gay marriage which seem to take up all her time these days.
No, but it's so much fun when the representatives of so-called morality get caught with their pants down!
Another set of topless modeling photos of her just turned up as well, which were taken only last year (when she was 20 years old). She evidently forgot about those, since she claimed all the previous nasty photos she had posed for before were taken when she was a teenager, and didn't know any better.

Just read that soap actor Johnny Palermo died in a car accident today in North Hollywood. His girlfriend also died in the accident. If he looks familiar it is because he has appeared on a lot of TV shows lately (I remember him appearing on RULES OF ENGAGEMENT). Very sad, he was only 27 years old.

For any DR who may not be on Facebook, here is a link to my High Line photos on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/23108900@N02/sets/72157619577208004/). -Should you wish to view them.

Great photos, Jose. Looks like you had a nice walk.

I really did.
What's truly amazing is that the portion of The High Line that is currently open is only six blocks long. And I was up there for two hours! Right now, it runs from Gansevoort to 20th Street. Eventually, it will go all the way up to 34th (I believe).
*And some of the seating is on the tracks, and some of the seats do move on the tracks! Such a great re-purposing of a space and structure that almost got torn down.
-
It also turned out that City Bakery has two of their "birdbath" carts set up at The High Line selling cookies, lemonade and other treats. When I entered the park, I noticed the first cart set up right by the entrance. Of course, I had just been to City Bakery about 30 minutes before... ;) So, I just browsed. Well...
As I was leaving, the carts were still set up, and one of the clerks still remembered me from before... And since they were about to close up shop - the park closes at 10:00 - the cookies were being offered 2-for-1... And then 3-for-1. :)
I think their Oatmeal Cookie will make a great breakfast. :)

OH!
And Monkey (http://www.flickr.com/photos/23108900@N02/sets/72157619578539050/) liked The High Line too!

Holy moley on rye, this is the first moment today that I've had to actually sit down and, well, sit down. Unbelievably crazy day - got almost everything done that was planned which is in of itself amazing, blocking sixty pages of act one's sixty-nine pages. Then at the end of the day, my stage manager made an off-handed comment about there being risers or levels in the theater where we'll be doing the reading. This was news to me. So he called the theater and had them send us the floor plan and it's a four-star disaster - risers everywhere, the entire set is facing towards stage left so that if you stand facing the audience you look weird, and little room for actual flat across staging, which is, of course, exactly what I spent the entire day doing. Adam and I talked it through and it's just going to have to look different than I want it to, which is infuriating - the actors will just have to keep their positions but now some of them will be on risers, some won't, and I'll adjust everything once I finish blocking the show. The SM will tape out the floor tomorrow and I'll start doing the new stuff according to the floor plan. When I spoke to the theater guy about it he got all attitude-y with me, and I think you know how that sort of thing goes down. I reminded him that when I booked the theater I was told that there would be at least as much playing room, if not more, than what was currently then available due to their then set. No one said there will be risers all over the stage (it's one of the stupidest stage designs I've ever seen), no one said anything. Nothing to be done about it, so we'll make the best, but I can assure you that I will be mentioning this fact to our audiences (in a humorous way, of course) so that they don't think Adam and I are completely inept visually.

We grabbed a bite to eat and I got home at nine-thirty and immediately had to package up all the CDs. I'm only shipping out the Kritzerland orders, however - the others will have to wait until Friday because I just have no time to deal with those bigger packages until tomorrow night.

...I just have no time to deal with those bigger packages ...
Some of us would make time to deal with bigger packages.
