Four!

I'm finding a similar thing with sleep -- there are certain "nights before" that have become a regular problem with regard to being relaxed enough either to fall asleep at all, or to do so in time to get a decent rest.  Such as:  (1) traveling the next day, or (2) anything that necessitates getting up abnormally early.  Both mind and body just fight it.  I've never tried sleeping aids, but have seriously considered it of late.

Those ZZZ Quil tablets really seem to help for occasional insomnia.  The liguid version, like its cold medicne brother, is something like 12% alcohol; but the tablets don't contain any alcohol.

Okay, not tablets, but capsules.  Sorry.

In another amazing bit of serendipity, I found a theatre program of Sondheim's Marry Me a Little, from 1987, in which the part of Man was played by our very own...   DR Ryacko! More than 25 years before I met his acquaintance on this here board!!

Health vibes to BK, Jane Noseworthy, and the entire company!

Here's a blurry close-up of the make-up that was put on me for last night's TAO of the Dead:



Christy, who is a professional make-up artist did some amazing work last night.  She created some pretty fancy Halloween-type face paintings and took donations for TAO.

That's great!

And here is a close-up of my after-party face when I got home.  Christy used an airbrush for the purple base, and then stippled on the pink mottled blotches.  I wish I could've gotten a really good picture.  She had airbrushed my whole face and lips and beard.  The Brain that I wore came down over my forehead and the foam pads in the bike helmet wiped off the make-up.  Anyway, here it is:



In real life, it looked a LOT better.

Overall, the evening was a success!  It was a VERY long day.  We met at noon yesterday and the space had been decorated quite well by that time.  A few of us went shopping and got some last minute things.  Much of the day is a blur, but the event didn't start until 8:00.  There weren't many people at first (and I really thought that it might be a bust), but as the evening went on, people started showing up and bought raffle tickets and sang karaoke and had a grand ol' time!

My friend Matthew just left, and I walked down the three flights with him, got my mail and walked back up. That's today's exercise.

I've set all the clocks, so I'm ready for tomorrow.

There were about 25 raffle items (my sister and I contributed four items).  I won two items...a $25 gift certificate for a local shop called Archibald Sister's, and a decorative case-thing with a DVD, a scented candle and some knick-knacks.  My friend Sarah (who was the stage manager for "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe") was a bit upset that she hadn't won anything.  Our friend Jenny bought one, count 'em, ONE raffle ticket and won!  She actually won one of the gifts that my sister contributed...it was a big glass cookie jar filled with various cookie cutters, along with a Martha Stewart cookie cook book.  That's all that Jenny wanted and she won it!  Sarah asked me how many tickets did I buy (I bought $16, all the cash I had) and said that she had bought $20 worth...why wasn't she winning anything??  The very next ticket drawn was actually ANOTHER (a third) ticket that I had!  I just handed the winning ticket to Sarah and let her have the basket!  It turned out to be a basked of home-made soaps.  She LOVED it!

Good morning!  I got up to get ready for my 9 am flight and saw that I had a text message from Alaska Airlines.  My flight has been delayed till 11:15 and I should arrive at LAX shortly after 2 pm.   There go my plans to meet my friend Paul at the Ahmanson for The Sunshine Boys at 2.  It was going to be a challenge to get there in time anyway.

I've learned not to make major plans on the day I arrive from anywhere if I'm flying.

That  was very sweet of you, George.

I just watched the never aired Big Bang Pilot episode.

Wow, and not a good wow.

Unchanged, I think it would have tanked as fast as the new Ironsides.

Big Bang Unaired Pilot

That was "interesting".  They really changed Sheldon.

[Jane]

VIBES for Jane of the Worthy Nose.  Nothing more miserable than to be sick like that with a schedule like that.

Ditto!

[Jane]

VIBES for BK's voice to hold up just fine!

DITTO!

[TCB]

I believe that Johnny Galecki was originally supposed to be the star of the show.

[Jane]

Oy!     

A day of mourning, for I have just placed my first Amazon order of the month, and was charged sales tax by them for my first time ever.

We had it good here for a long time.  Longer than some of you in other states did.  Nevertheless,

Oy!     

Will you be taxed on all items?

[Jane]

What to do if you should find yourself with a few spare pumpkins on hand after Halloween:

Cool while Mr. Balls made me shiver-lol

Yes, as far as I know.

I'm up - that would be interesting if I'd actually had any sleep, but as has been the case for the last three months, the night before the stumble-through has been a little sleep night.  I REALLY needed to sleep, was in bed right after midnight and I don't know that I slept ten minutes the entire time and I am TRASHED and who knows if I'll get through the stumble-through today let alone two shows tomorrow.  I'm so overtired these days that I don't really see how it's possible not to fall asleep.

For a change I slept, even got 8 hours last night before the alarm woke me.  Of course it will take more than one night of sleep to make up for all the nights lost.

SLEEP WELL VIBES!!!

[Jane]

SLEEP WELL VIBES FOR DR ELMORE AND ANY OTHER DR'S WHO NEED THEM!!!

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone.

VIBES ALL AROUND!!

That was very funny!

I believe that Johnny Galecki was originally supposed to be the star of the show.

I remember in the early seasons  he WAS the star...and it was obvious that he was the lead of the group, but Jim Parsons' character became more popular and now he seems to have taken over.

Greetings from Alaska Airlines Flight 7! 

The reason for the delay of the flight is that the crew arrived on the flight from LAX at about 1 am instead of 9 pm and there's a rule than they must have so many hours of rest between flights.

I have had flights that were delayed long enough the crew had to leave delaying us more while we waited for a new crew.

[George]

Well, I need to take a shower and meet my friend Kris downtown.  She is the former treasurer of TAO and wasn't able to be at the fund raiser last night, so she wants to make a donation!  I'm going to pick up her check.  I'll then stop at my sister's house and show her the gifts that I won.  I was planning on going to work today, but after about 15 hours at the fund raiser space, I just couldn't do it.  Oh, well.

Be back later!

[Jane]

My niece is feeling so much better. I went over there earlier. She dressed up in her Halloween costume and knocked on every door in her house. I was standing on the other side handing out candy. I just took their leftover candy that they didn't hand out (a box of chocolate bars) and put a few in her bag at each stop. Then when her bag was full she emptied it back into my box and we started again.

  Cute!
