WHEN I'M EIGHTY
« on: April 27, 2010, 12:17:48 AM »

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were not quite eighty yet, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home, which may just be when I'm eighty.

Yesterday, we started the run of The Brain at about 7:00 and stopped at about 9:45...and only got through act one!  BUT, there was a lot tech stuff going on, programing the light board and stuff like that.  We'll go through act tow tonight, get through it as quickly as we can, then run the whole show with costumes!  It's really happening! :D

Love hearing about it.  Act one should really run sixty-two minutes.  The Indiana production ran longer than the show usually does.  For this show, shorter/better :)

We also had the set with pieces that we'd never had before, so figuring out the scene changes took up some time.  I got added to a couple of changes that I'd never done before but I'm available for those, so that's good.

I completely agree...and Josh said at rehearsal a couple of days ago. "quick is funny"...but some things aren't as quick as (I think) they should be.  And there are a couple of moments that Josh has specifically directed to be not so quick. ::)

Granted, I could nitpick, but I won't...my issues mainly are just tiny moments throughout.  I'm not the director (nor would I want to be) and just have to let it all go.

Well, I didn't much sleep last night at all, so I'm going to go to bed. 

Good night, BK and guests. :)

Good morning, all! I think the neighbor is spending nights at the girlfriend's for the nonce.  The pnly sounds I heard last night after 11 appeared to be the dog dragging something around for a bit and then silence. Since I always see the glass half empty, I don't know what to think of the current situation. There's the paranoid side of me that says he's setting up an alibi for himself when they find my body.

So, today, a long meeting in Toyland over the status quo and future deadlines. This will be followed by a meeting at Rodgers & Hammerstein at 2 pm. Then its back here to finish up the second act of WIZARD OF OZ. The Act Two Finale, "The Wizard Is No Longer King," is huge and I am more than 2/3 through it now.

Last night I got through three more episodes of BONES, and I really liked the Gravedigger episode with the ghost of the young soldier. I had never thought of the Gravedigger as a woman so that was a nice surprse, and I loved the moment when Bones slugged her with the briefcase. The other two were the episode about a dead hockey player, set mostly in an ice skating rink, and the dead sci fi princess and the sci fi-fantasy conventions, which my dear goddaughter attends with religious fervor.

DR Jose i don't think our costco has the chicken item you mentioned. They actually don't sell many things at all.

They have the hotdogs with drink for $1.99. They have ice cream. They have one kind of pizza.  They now have the hamburger.

They have occassionally had ribs or a lobster roll. They don't even have anything for vegetarians but fries (which i find completely crazy).

Mmm, frosting. Eating it right out of the container with a spoon. You don't even need cake (though frosted cake is good too)

He's home. Lot's of footsteps and a loud door.

I'm down to around 30 bars of the Finale, so I'm very pleased.

TOD:

Not an easy question.

Maybe GONE WITH THE WIND in Atlanta, because of all the glitz...and Carole Lombard was there.

Maybe CITIZEN KANE, providing I got to hang out with Orson Welles.

Or, any movie starring Humphrey Bogart, for the same reason as CITIZEN KANE.

It would have been great to meet and mingle with my "idols".

Tuesday morning greetings!  DH Richard is off to bible study at a nearby church and DS Rob is about to leave for a paramedic test and I'm looking forward to having the house to myself for a while.  Later I have a few errands to do and a bored board meeting tonight.

Adding time to the Indiana BRAINEX was the lack of scenes "in one" - and a slow hand on the light cue button.  We watched a lot of the scene changes when they really could have happened during the "bits" just before......could be why it was written that way.

Well, I am agog that JR wouldn't want to be in Seattle on November 12, 1936 for the gala fete honoring Miss Frances Farmer and her starring turn in COME AND GET IT.   ;)
