WACKADOO!
« on: March 07, 2006, 12:08:01 AM »
Well, you've read the notes, the notes were quite logy/low key, but then perked up considerably with the Wackadoo Effect, and now it is time for you to post until the cow come home - they're protesting the title of today's notes and think it should be Wackamoo!

When I was just a little boy
I asked my mother, what will I be?
Will I be famous, will I be rich?
Here's what she said to me:

Keep your britches on!
I'm tired, don't bother me!
Your future?  Who cares?  Not me!
Keep your britches on,
You d&mned S. O. B.

I'm not a particularly ambitious person so the interview process etc has really not been that much of an issue.

I've always told myself that are the lucky ones having me apply for any position.  

As a teacher meeting a new class,  I have always been prepared to do the unexpected and use humour.

Just remembering that the news students are also apprehensive etc, helps.

The only time that I usually get nervous is either before auditioning (which I really can't do anything about...just have to get through it) or performing.  One thing that I try to do to help prevent nerves before performing is to just really be secure in what I'm performing.  Over-learn, make sure that I know everything thoroughly.

Thanks for the Jimmy Gilmour info, DR TOMovOZ....I was thinking of the wrong song, of course. :)

I like the EATING RAOUL CD - or was it a DVD you got?

Dealing with nerves.  I don't get nervous a lot before a performance - just the bit of anxiety that is normal, I guess.  I just go over and over my first line to make sure I can do it without thinking too much.  Then the rest of the show will go fine...once I get started I'm fine....kind of like a Packard.

The toupee came from EBAY of course, DR TCB.

Good morning, all!  I was catching up on last night's posts, when the site threw me off and told me there were too many users.  So, I played in my email for a while.  I'm trying to figure out the iDisk situation to work with Rodney Gilfry, who sent me a lovely tutorial, but I think I have to call my Mac Man for further help.

So now I'm back on site because all those too many users have cleared out.  I have to work on my Toyland reports, pay a few bills, and solve the iDisk situation.  It's too much, I tell you.

As my Dear Friend BK can attest, I get more neurotic before a hearing of my work; when we did the UNSUNG SONDHEIM recording, I kept muttering "it's gonna sound like crap, but I think we can fix it in the studio."  Sometimes we did fix it!

Dana Reeve, Christopher Reeve's widow, has died from lung cancer at 44. Terribly sad news.

DR elmore - iDisk is basically like another disk drive on your computer.  Once you get the User Name and/or the Password, well, that's all you need.  It's a perfect way for sharing large files and a large number of file without having to attach them to e-mails.

Shall I call you later?  :)

Jose, yes I did. I informed Anthony of the news. Wow! Is he staying in Las Vegas or just moving into a different living situation? Also, I know they cut back on performances and cast for the Las Vegas Hairspray. Did he get cut from the show or does he still have a job? You may not know this but just thought I'd ask.

Tuesday morning greetings!  Back to work at noon today after a glorious 3-day weekend.  I won't actually get to my workplace until about 2pm due to an off-site meeting at noon.  Things should be buzzing by the time I get there, because of a couple of personnel items that could be in this week's staff newsletter.

TOD - The situations that make me most nervous are those for which I am (or appear to be) responsible for others' actions over which I have no control.  The worst of those kinds of situations make my hands break out.

They (husband and wife) are staying in Vegas, and they're both still in the show.  However, he may be heading back to NYC next week for a day or two, so...  Guess I'll get the rest of the details then.  But still... WOW!

Beautiful day here, and we're on a warming trend now for the rest of the week with 70s on tap by Friday. Only high 50s today, however.

There are a fair number of reruns on tonight's schedule, but I noticed that DR Ron Pulliam's favorite show JOEY is returning tonight with a new episode and a rerun in the 8 o'clock hour. Opposite AMERICAN IDOL, I think we're seeing the very, very last of this series.
