More work news

We've started build for Macbeth. The shop is quite festive right now. Costume crafts has been busy washing and tinting lots of different plaids for all the kilts we have to make and the fabric is draped all over the shop to dry and be ironed and cut and such. While the stitchers are in kilt hell, I'm rather in facial hair hell. There's just bloody tons of it! So many barbaric warriors to make manly! HOwever, I don't mind too much, b/c I found out the other day that I'm actually going to get to run this one. YAY! Running shows are lots of fun and this one should be especially cool due to all the blood and dismemberment involved. We actually had a really amusing conversation about severed heads. The main question being, what exactly does a severed head being shoved on a pike sound like, and how do we reproduce that? This of course leads to reason 6,782 I love my job. Where else would this be a legitimate work-related discussion.

On a completely different note, I have a cat! Her name is Gwen and she is "quiet, she is small, she is black/ From her ears to the tip of her tail." And she is extremely adorable!

And how!
That was one of my favorite shows to be in, it's so fun! Just watch out for the curse. Ours was, everything went fine until opening night, then for some unknown reason, in the middle of the second scene, all of the electrical equipment died for about 2 minutes. It all came back on again and we continued, but yeah, dead completely and it wasn't a short or blown fuse. Just dead. Scary, huh?

Awww, a kitty! she's sounds precious!
I'm so glad you updated, i was beginning to think you disappeared off the face of the planet!

No, haven't disappeared, just incredibly lazy!
The curse hasn't kicked in yet, but rehearsals have JUST started, so I guess we'll see. I'm mostly worried about the fact that the run is so long: March to July, plus the military base tour. It seems like we're giving ourselves ample opportunity ofr disaster...

Ah yes. The buckets of peanut butter, chocolate syrup and red food coloring. The tastiest blood in the world.

I think that a severed head on a pike would sound squishy with a slight sucking sound at the end. But that's just me. At my job I have conversations about why Mr. So-And-So is not here and why we don't have a paging system... ususally with very irate people. I like your conversations more.

YEAH FOR KITTIES! We should get our cats together some time for a play date.

Yes we should, but we shouldn't call it a "play date" b/c that's a little too crazy-cat-lady for me. While I plan to some day become the crazy-0cat-lady, I don't plan to do that for a couple more years yet. I don't want to peak too early...

I to have the desire to become the "crazy-old-cat lady"... Empress and I have discussed it at length.

On another totally unrelated note, Michele Dalton (our favorite person) is getting married... her life is now complete.
