I had this long rambling dream, set in the 1880s, about the Catholic Church across the street,  It was very much a Henry James novel involving inheritances, financial fraud, and a character that was possibly a metamorphosis of my ex-nun lesbian friend Alice.

Why doesn't one of those geniuses just say:  "You can't run the Federal government like a business.  The American people are not going to be your employees.  You are not running for BOSS of the United States."

Of course now Trump's base is so solid and strong, that they won't be swayed no matter what is said.  And that makes things even worse than they have to be.

The last time a book had me dreaming, I woke up at dawn one morning and rushed into the bathroom to look at my neck in the mirror.   I was reading Stephen King's "Salem's Lot" at the time.

Back from storage - got rid of about eight boxes of crap - lots of magazines, old bank stuff from thirty years ago, amazing crap.  One thing I found that I kept is all my yearly schedule books - for many years SAG used to have those schedulers, which they'd send you every year.  I seem to have them for almost every year through 1985, which is when they stopped them.  It's both shocking and amazing how busy I was in the 70s, how many auditions I had - plus I have records of every job I did - since we think AFTRA is a bit low in terms of pension, I can now have them double check what it's based on and give them the other info if they don't have it.

This is the second day in a row with no home mail - I don't think a day has ever gone by without at least junk mail, so my red flag is up - and since I'm expecting my first pension checks I'm really irritated about it - I called the local branch and alerted them to it and they'll check it out.

Post by: bk on February 26, 2016, 04:38:33 PM

Back from a surprisingly decent show after four nights off, in spite of one cast member being sick as a dog but showing up and going on.  We mercifully cut her number ("I Speak Six Languages"), which worked fine since she couldn't have gotten a note out anyway.  She probably has strep, and there's someone standing by in case she can't make it the rest of the weekend.

Anyone get the eBook?

In a moment of inspiration whilst reading the notes before even getting out of bed this morning, I grabbed it on Kindle, and quickly devoured the first third of it.  I had a bunch of things to do today so I thought I might not be able to finish it before tomorrow, but fortune smiled on me and I kept getting chances to return to it.  Finished reading it after returning from tonight's show.  It really is wonderful.  Bravo, sir!

Well, it's time for me to leave and work concessions at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts.  I don't remember what's going on, but I'll be serving foodstuffs all evening.

Until later!

Well, I did not sell foodstuffs all evening.  It turned out that tonight's event was "AN EVENING OF BODYVOX FILMS."  It was a free event and there was no intermission.  We also had too many volunteers.

Since I am the treasurer of Theater Artists Olympia, I had the money till for their perfornace with me, as well as my tablet that is used for credit/debit card sales.  When the till was picked up by the assistant stage manager of TAO, I forgot about giving him my tablet. 
Title: Re: FIRST THINGS FIRST THROUGH FIFTH THINGS FIFTH
Post by: George on February 27, 2016, 12:39:44 AM
They eventually figured it out and the stage manager called asking if I could bring it over to their theater, and since there were too many volunteers at the WCPA, I was able to leave for the night and bring over my tablet.  After I dropped it off and started to drive away, I realized that I didn't have go back to the WCPA, so I headed home, also realizing that I didn't want to go all the way back downtown in three hours just to pick up my tablet (and the till), so I texted them asking them to keep the money and my tablet for tonight and I would get them tomorrow.  That was fine with them.

A little bit after I got home, my friend David called and asked if I could drive him and his fiancee to the emergency vet hospital because their cat was having trouble breathing.  I said yes.  When I got there, they had Emmett in a box and he was struggling and meowing loudly.  They tried to calm him as we drove, then he let out a loud cry, and then there was silence. :( I continued to drive as fast as I could, but it was too late.  We got to the vet and I said I would wait in the car to give them their privacy. 
Title: Re: FIRST THINGS FIRST THROUGH FIFTH THINGS FIFTH
Post by: George on February 27, 2016, 12:42:17 AM
After about 20 minutes, I went in and waited in the lobby.  David came out of one of the rooms and said that they were filling out the paperwork for the cremation. :'( When the paperwork was done, I drove them home.  We did chat a bit on the way back and I told them about my cat Ebonie and that she had also died in my car on the way to the vet, which was, coincidentally, the same emergency vet hospital that I was taking my cat to the night she died.  It's the only 24-hour vet in the whole area.

Post by: George on February 27, 2016, 12:42:55 AM
After I dropped them off at their home, I texted the assistant stage manager of TAO, aking if he was still at The Midnight Sun with the money till and my tablet.  He was!  I was able to get the money and my tablet and now I'm home after a much too much eventful evening.
