93 degrees here today. I went to Trader Joe's, then the salad bar, to stock up because the next several days are forecast at 98-99. I don't do well in the heat -- can't eat much and have all the energy of a wet rag. I will stay in as much as possible.

Vibes to Chas' Carrie.

I recommend acupuncture.

Off to Wordle.

TTFN.

Those of you in L.A.:

Is this heat a result of a Santa Ana, or something else?

I always remember the Santa Anas around this time of year, and the over-100 degree days they can produce. But (and I know it's always a joke, but I do mean it) at least it was a DRY heat.

We had a heat wave in one of my first summers in Danbury. It reached 105 or so, something this area rarely sees. What was weird about that one is that I recognized the feel of it -- there was very low humidity, for whatever reason, and it felt exactly like one of those days in L.A. Exactly. And I don't think there's been one like it here since.

I do remember when I was living at the beach, in Redondo, and the apartments had no a/c -- you'd get one week sometime in August that would make you wish you had the a/c, and I believe that was from Pacific Ocean weather, not Santa Anas, because there was actually some humidity.

The Santa Anas themselves were actually rather delightful if you lived near the beach.

Ah, I do miss it.

Tonight's rehearsal just got cancelled.

Our absolutely adorable gal playing Carrie is the one whose car blew a [something] which caused a tire to blow out and she careened off the road a couple of weeks ago. Everything was fixable, and she's felt fine except for just little bouts of neck soreness. Said soreness just reappeared last night, keeping her awake all night, and since we were only working on Carrie and Margaret White's scenes tonight (and they are both wonderful fast learners), we can afford to miss this one.

I only hope she's getting the expert medical attention she needs to completely heal this thing. Whiplash is insidious, in how it so often doesn't even show up till way after the fact. So while we pray for Rosemary's baby for DR Ginny, I will welcome some vibes for Carrie who mustn't be late for the prom.

Vibes for Carrie.

I wore my most comfortable, coolest blouse today. It felt good walking in the 92 degrees temps this afternoon. Most of our walk is in the shade.

I'm up, I'm up - got up at two after eight hours of sleep. Too much in the cranium.

Have caught up, we've asked for self-tapes on twelve people who are up for the one remaining series regular - great part, all ten episodes. We've chosen twelve so far, and if those don't do it, we'll go back and choose more.

I'm doing salads and protein for the next two weeks. Period. No discussion.

Ceiling vibes for DR GINNY.

Heat wave.....I certainly certainly CER-TAIN-LY can.....

Jrand74 · « **Reply #137 on:** August 31, 2022, 06:12:31 PM »

I don't know how I forgot DARLING in my Dirk Bogarde list yesterday.

And I also didn't comment on the movie that MR BK mentioned in the notes....CAST A DARK SHADOW.....what potboiler! Based on a play that must have been something onstage....and the comeuppance is most spectacular.

Bogarde seems to be channeling his inner twink in dealing with the older ladies, reading muscle man magazines while waiting for his next victim.....can murder be far behind? Is there a character pretending to be someone else behind the mask? Is there ANY behind in this movie? Well....not really - but it is fun in a bargain basement way.....and Mr Bogarde appears courtesy of The Rank Organisation - I think.

Listening to Serena Williams' match at the U.S. Open....it is on across the hall.....it is a bit much...but she seems pretty level headed for a someone who has been a champion for a long time - and certainly must be surround by folks on the payroll who remind her of her greatness several times a day.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #139 on:** August 31, 2022, 06:23:28 PM »

The only thing that would have made CAST A DARK SHADOW even more fun is if Margaret Lockwood had said to Dirk Bogarde the line that he said so well.....many years later in DARLING:

I don't take whores in taxis.

Serena Williams wins. Good news.

George · « **Reply #145 on:** August 31, 2022, 07:10:49 PM »

So right now, I'm at the call-backs for the Evergreen Playhouse's Tuck Everlasting.

George · « **Reply #146 on:** August 31, 2022, 07:12:09 PM »

Yesterday, I got a message asking if I would consider going to the call-backs to be considered for a couple of roles.

George · « **Reply #147 on:** August 31, 2022, 07:12:46 PM »

The show doesn't go up until May, so it won't interfere with A Murder is Announced.

George · « **Reply #148 on:** August 31, 2022, 07:13:08 PM »

A few people who were in Mamma Mia! are here too, so that's fun.

John G. · « **Reply #149 on:** August 31, 2022, 07:14:55 PM »

That’s great, George.
