Well, dear readers, I must write these here notes in a hurry for I must go retrieve two heavy boxes – all the Applause materials – from Doug Haverty’s apartment building, where they were sent. He’s in Florida at the moment. Writing these here notes in a hurry won’t be easy due to heavy hand cramping for most of today – really irritating. And getting worse with every letter I type. Oh joy. The big news is that Friday at one, the board will go off-line and finally get all its updates and then be separated from the notes, which I’m told will fix a lot of what’s been going on. The avatar thing is a separate issue that hasn’t been solved yet, and so they may just download that software from scratch and that would hopefully restore everything to the way it was. In other news, yesterday was a day of some sort. I got six and a half hours of sleep, got up, answered e-mails, then rustled up a batch of Wacky Noodles and ate helping one – very good batch, I thought. Then I figured out the book dedication, inserted it, and sent the files to the designer. Should have the first pass galley mid-week next week. Then I began a series of dozing off episodes that were episodic. The first lasted a couple of hours. Then I ate the rest of the Wacky Noodles, did a few things on the computer, then intended to watch something, but dozed right off again for another two hours. Too late to watch anything, so I ate some Wheat Thins and watched a few irritating YouTube videos that were irritating and on YouTube, which is the best place to find irritating YouTube videos. And here we are.
Today, I’ll be up by eight and out the door by nine at the latest. I’ll pick up the Applause material and bring it home. I have no real plans – I was going to do a lunch meeting, but I pushed it to next week – I’ve decided I’ll make roast beef hash for food, I’ll eat it, then there’s an interesting auction I want to follow, so I’ll do that. Otherwise, I’ll just watch, listen, and relax.
Tomorrow, I’ll have a phone meeting about Saturday’s nine to four recording session. Since that’s in NoHo, I’ll probably go have a meal somewhere and hang out until it’s time to go to the theater. I’ll do the pre-show thing then decide if I’m staying, although since it’s our final weekend it might be fun to see all three – we shall see. Saturday, I have to arrive at the session at nine-thirty, we begin recording at ten and will hopefully wrap before four or right at four. Then we have our penultimate performance. Sunday is our final performance, the matinee, which will be followed by a cast partay at six in Woodland Hills. Not sure when the set will get struck, but I do hope they save certain elements of it. Then next week is book stuff and hopefully our new CD release will be on its way to the pressing plant, which means it could ship four weeks early.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, be up by eight and out the door by nine, pick up boxes, bring boxes home, eat, follow along with an auction, and then I can watch, listen, and relax. Today’s topic of discussion: What canned goods do you like, like canned corn or peas or that kind of thing – applesauce or that kind of thing – chili or beans or that kind of thing. Things in cans that you partake of and like to have in your pantry. Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I hit the road to dreamland, after which I shall endeavor to pick up two heavy boxes.
