Well, you've read the notes, the notes noted the sixteen-page, four-song courtroom scene, and now it is time for you to post until the four-song cows come home.

And the word of the day is: CHEVISANCE!

Good morning, all!

Another poor night of sleep. The cats behaved, so I cannot blame them,
-
BK, the new Frankenstein movie is on Netflix.
-
Notes redeemed. Cashed.
-
I won't see any of the new films until they show up on DVD, Amazon Prime, or Netflix, so I haven't been keeping tabs on what's coming out except for Feckham Hall. I do want to see the new Frankenstein, but I have no interest in The Devil Wears Prada 2. I liked the novel more than the film; were they afraid Anna Wintour would sue if they stuck closer to the book?
-
Good morning.
-
I think - well, I hope - the walls are closing in.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Good rehearsal last night, and dead tired this morning.
Coffee!!
-
Oh, there it is!
-
Also having a leftover cupcake from someone's birthday celebration last night.
A homemade one, dark, chocolate, thick rich buttery mocha frosting, quite incredible.
-
I, who just said I'll always eat but I'm not crazy about cupcakes, would actually love them if they all tasted and had great texture like this one.
-
Today is my second to last day off.
Tomorrow night's a big rehearsal. Saturday's off, then Sunday is sitzprobe and tech day.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Weird work dreams.
-
I want to see The Choral and Sentimental Value.
-
I think - well, I hope - the walls are clsing in.
Is it any coincidence that Ghislaine Maxwell and the Cranford NJ Macbeths (my brother Macbeth and his wife Lady Joann Macbeth) have a Florida attorney in common?
-
TOD: "Song Sung Blue" continues to intrigue me, especially knowing it's based on real people - though I'll wait until it streams.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
Running late this morning.
-
George, was that your actual Chinese dinner you posted a photo of last night?
It looks particularly tasty!
-
Chinese Food.
-
I am interested in Frankenstein, Nuremberg, and Feckham Hall.
We shall see what we shall see.
I have watched Plainclothes and The History of Sound both of which I enjoyed.
-
We are supposed to reach 59 degrees today....it is already 47 degrees.
-
I wonder if we can get to page 2 before 11 a.m. (Eastern)
-
It might not be that difficult
-
PAGE TWO
-
Finally! The home healthcare interviews are set up.
-
There's an Epstein email: "I know how dirty donald is." Maybe Trump is behind Epstein's death?
-
From DR John:
Are you reading anything good.
Not really. I recently read the latest Louise Penny book and enjoyed that.
-
DR Ginny, all I need to acomplish for the holiday season is to send a few holiday cards and buy gifts for a few children. You are going to be very busy.

I enjoy a good cupcake, unfortunately too often they are dry and/or don't have enough flavor.

Interesting.

TOD: Along with several of those already mentioned, I'll add the new George Clooney movie, Jay Kelly, along with Wicked: For Good.

Agree. That's what made this one a winner. Moist, held together nicely, and FULL of flavor - both the cake and the frosting.
-
We enjoyed the del Toro Frankenstein, with a few quibbles. I think it's a movie that will have something to please AND displease many people. There's a lot going on there, and it's a del Toro movie which will either raise or lower one's expectations, depending.
I have yet to even see the first Wicked. So, one of these days. I don't even know the show except for the songs I've had to play for people over the last few years. If you can see lightning, hear thunder, and can sit on a piano bench, you've had a lot of Wicked set in front of you.

Sadly, it was not. I did an image search and found that picture which had both Orange Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken. The actual food I ate was tasty, but not as visually appealing. ;)

Topic of the Day: pretty much just Wicked 2. I haven't seen many trailers for current movies, and the last current movie that I saw in a theater was last year's Wicked 1. ::)

Did the frosting cover the top of the cupcake? I often thing they are dry when they only partially cover the top.

It was a thick butter-based frosting, and it totally covered the top.

I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of sleep.

Fixed the track, so that works now.

Should order food now.

Watching some interesting news.
It's fun to think of the big fat coward shaking in his boots.

So few posts.

But here we are at 3rd page.

Is everyone sooooo busy?

Had Subway for food - spicy Eyetalian with a 5.00 off thing.
-
Will take pill two just before I leave at 6:10.

Well, our new guy is now our old guy - not even twelve hours later he says after thinking about it and his schedule he can't do it. We went over this last night - every rehearsal time, every day, when we were off - and it was all fine, no conflicts. However, when he told me he worked until 5:30 in Koreatown and didn't drive? I knew that was a thing even though he said he wasn't. He's done no shows anywhere other than community theater and school and not many of those. I do not understand these young actors. He will NEVER have a career or anything even like a career. Why come down and waste our time at all.

The perils of stage casting rear their ugly heads again. Doesn’t anyone want to be in a show anymore?

So sorry to hear that.

I have been engrossed in information Keith found for me regarding my GCA. It included what to expect as I taper off of my prednisone.
What I learned is that I had better do all of my holiday shopping quickly as I might not be functioning well enough in December and right now I have extra energy.

Good to have that information.
-
For those interested in the why......
The high dose of prednisone took over for my adrenal glands and I have stopped producing cortisol. The hard part will be when I am not taking enough prednisone to continue working for me and the time it takes for my body to start producing cortisol again.

Because I have low BP to begin with we are going to buy some electrolytes for me to take to help keep it up. Yuck-lol

I shall now be on my way to the theater.
-
Perhaps someone, while I'm gone, can explain to me this page three malarkey.
-
As I said, I spent most of the afternoon reading medical information.
I also had a nice long chat with a good friend I haven't spoken to in awhile and she doesn't email.

Sorry about the loss of the last guy.

I am missing me some chicken cobbler.

Would eating chicken cobbler make me a gobbler?

I had to take an intensive 3+ hour training course at work today.

It kind of is! I'll take it. And it means I don't have to re-take the training.

I'd love to run the posts up to page seven.

I can no longer eat spinach.

Halfway through the page.
-
Margaret Atwood’s autobiography is massive.
-
Yay!
-
I get to spend that much more time with her.

I need some sleep.

Tomorrow I emcee a luncheon at a vineyard in Fredericksburg.
-
The menu looks fun.
-
The wines look great.
-
I’m ready to enjoy myself.
-
It’s been a crazy week.
-
I haven’t even made a pie.
-
Oh, my.
-
Let’s move on …
-
In one.
-
Five!
-
Page FIVE? One post?
-
How dreary, dearie.
-
Back from rehearsal.
-
Lots of cleanup - added a few things as we went. I let everyone but two of the leads go at nine and then we did three numbers - two duets and a solo - no staging, just where they'll be. I wanted these numbers simple and elegant to contrast with the kinetic nature of all the others.
-
Then I got it into my head I wanted In 'N' Out, so I drove over there - now, picture this: 10:10 on a Thursday evening. Imagine a line of cars for the drive-through a block and a half long.
-
Imagine me driving by the restaurant and looking inside and seeing every table taken, every single table.
-
Imagine me seeing a line at the registers all the way to the entrance door.
-
Imagine me driving home. Who ARE these mofos? 10:10 - do these miscreants not have school? Work? They can just go have burgers and fries at 10:10 and not get home until after eleven or later.
-
Are these gang members?
-
I just don't get it.
-
Perhaps one of you can explain it to me.
-
But none of you are here and you haven't been here for quite some time.
-
Imagine me ordering dos filet o fish sandwiches from McDonald's.
-
Imagine them arriving very soon.
-
Imagine extra tartar sauce.
-
Imagine me hoping they're good.
-
My order is on the way apparently.
-
I'm really hungry.
-
Guess I'll get into my night attire.
-
Don't imagine that.
-
It could lead to vomiting on the ground.
-
Don't imagine that either.

Jane, have you tried something like these Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier Electrolyte drink mixes? I get them at Costco and they're not too bad:
-
PAGE SIX DANCE!!
-
There are both regular and sugar-free varieties, and even the sugared ones only have 45 calories and 11 grams of carbs.
-
I've been drinking them for several years and they really help me drink more water, as well as increase my electrolytes.

I shall now be on my way to the theater.
Hope everything went well. I'll find out soon enough. ;)
