Well, you've read the notes, the notes preferred spaghetti to fettuccine, and now it is time for you to post until the carbonara cows come home.

And the word of the day is: ENTHUSIASM!

So, yesterday, this happened:

[George]

The night before last night during rehearsal, I started feeling a tingling in my thumb (and not in the good way).  When I woke up yesterday morning, my thumb was larger than usual, and obviously infected...probably from a hangnail.  Anyway, I was able to go to urgent care in the afternoon, and the lanced it (I didn't look), and bandaged it up.  I got a prescription for antibiotics and an antibiotic ointment to use for the next seven days.

[George]

I got to rehearsal about a half hour late (I let the director know what was going on) and that went well.  They staged "Your Fault" and a couple of two-page scenes.  Now the entire show has been blocked, AND we have three weeks to polish and perfect!

[George]

Topic of the Day:  for the last couple of days I've been listening to the cast recording to Bounce while driving to and from Centralia for rehearsals, and yesterday, I started listening to Road Show, the final version of the show.

[George]

And now before I go to bed, I have to find out who all in the cast has sent me their Bios and headshots, and forward them to the person who's putting together the program.  I need to submit mine, too.

Notes fingerprinted. Booked.

Our first 9-pages of posts day since April 18. There’s life in the old broad yet!

[Rodzinski]

And had I not fallen o’sleep, we would’ve gotten to 10. My failure.

[Rodzinski]

And we haven’t reached 10 pages since March 25.

[Rodzinski]

March 24 was our last only 6-page day. Might’ve been some shame-posting on the 25th.

[Rodzinski]

Can’t wait to see this Mayday film.

[Rodzinski]

DePauw’s a great idea, JRand. Good luck!

[Rodzinski]

I assume you already tried her old haunts at Purdue.

[Rodzinski]

You might also try IU Northwest’s theatre dept up in Gary.

[Rodzinski]

I say that mainly because I had a lot of formative theatrical field trips there as a kid. Once saw a production of “Magic to Do” there. And Androcles and the Lion.

[Rodzinski]

George I thought you were trying to tell us you were cast in a production of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Yikes! Good luck with your thumb. Thumb vibes.

[Rodzinski]

Mrs R has returned from her trip to Munich. Next week, Fargo. But only for a couple days. Then a break from travel.

[Rodzinski]

You know the old ditty, “New York, London, Fargo, Munich, everybody talk about, Pop Musik.”

[Rodzinski]

M, whose real name is Robin Scott. One of the great one-hit wonders. #1 in the U.S., Canada, Australia. Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, and South Africa. So topped the charts in New York, but not London, Paris, or Munich.

[Rodzinski]

And the word of the day is: ENTHUSIASM!

Always reminds me of Patty Duke’s ill-fated Emmy speech.

[Rodzinski]

Someone posted on reddit the other day TIL which means “Today I learned…” and it was about Patty’s convoluted scenario of paternity uncertainty among three possible dads. And someone commented, “Wow, I guess a hot dog really did make her lose control.”

[Rodzinski]

I didn’t see if BK noticed that juicy post by Mr. Graae, reported by Fred.

[Rodzinski]

Pop Muzik was kept out of the #1 slot in the UK by Art Garfunkel’s “Bright Eyes,” which did not even crack the Hot 100 here.  Bright Eyes was the biggest song of the year in the UK!

[Rodzinski]

Listening to it, it’s lovely but as depressing as the movie from which it came, Watership Down.

[Rodzinski]

Written by Mike Batt, who created music for another UK-only phenomenon, the Wombles.

[Rodzinski]

According to wiki, Batt described recording Bright Eyes as "one of the most difficult sessions" of his career.
