Hi mom.

My plans include getting ready for a little dinner party, and doing some holiday-related things. I want to start working on my Christmas cards (I send out hundreds...so like to get started early). I've got my Christmas CDs out and ready to go.

Other than that...no definite plans, which is GREAT!

O what a beautiful Morning
From Oklahoma

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye
And it looks like it's climbing right up to the sky

O what a beautiful morning, O what a beautiful day
I've got a beautiful feeling, everything's going my way

All the cattle are standing like statues
All the cattle are standing like statues
They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by
But a little brown mav'rick is winking her eye

O what a beautiful morning, O what a beautiful day
I've got a beautiful feeling, everything's going my way

All the sounds of the earth are like music
All the sounds of the earth are like music
The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree
And an ol' weeping willow is laughinU at me

O what a beautiful morning, O what a beautiful day
I've got a beautiful feeling, everything's going my way.

*yawn and stretch*

Time for my next meeting--this one on Props for our amateur production of My Fair Lady. My partner on this just let me know what new tasks the Director has assigned us. Is it possible to go AWOL????

Same here! With the cable system we have I can listen to Christams music starting on 11/3! But I think I need a little bit of snow to help with the mood.

Back from Props meeting/play rehearsal...

This thing goes on it two weeks and it will be a miracle if it comes together. Props are 75% handled. Unfortunately the other 25% are really tricky stuff...like the smudgepot fire.

Did I mention that have $0 budget for this?

And, today watching the scene at the Ascot, I noticed how the players are standing. Six girls seemed to be posed as if they are leaning on a parasol. There were no parasols listed for props... I asked the director "what are they supposed to be leaning on?" She looked blank. I pointed out the poses. She looked again. I said. were you planning on reusing the large umbrellas from the first scene. She said no...

She looked again. I said "The Ladies probably expect to be leaning on parasols." She said "oh, no. I don't think so."

When the scene ended I asked several of the cast members why they had posed that way. They all answered. "I'll be leaning on a parasol."

I asked the assistant director about it. She whipped out the wardrobe sheets with sketches provided with the script package.
"I don't think we're supposed to have parasols," she said.

In just about every dang sketch of the women's costume there is
a parasol/ladies' umbrellas. The AD goes "oh...I didn't notice that...I wonder if Wardrobe knows..."

I asked the wardrobe mistress whose eyes glazed over. She said,
"No....no one said a word to me. Can YOU find 6 parasols that will be black and white befitting the ascot."

Yea...6 black and white parasols in November in Buffalo...they're probably in every WalMart...

The director then informs us that the Props team has to be in the wings because the high schoolers on the stage crew will need to be supervised...The guy over scenery said he was in charge of the crew, but...well, hadn't reallyu worked things out.

Then the Director informs pulls me aside a bit later and says that the props team (me and my friend) to dress in black and both be at all performances to function as stage crew/movers...

PLUS...this is being performed in a high school auditorium to which we will not have access until dress rehearsal.

Some one rescue me NOW! Forget Calgon. Patrick Wilson take me away!!!!!!!!!

Beacon - I think you need to curl up with a big bowl of ice cream and watch "Noises Off" - maybe twice

Your Horoscope 11/20/2004:
Starting tomorrow, you'll be busier than you can remember being in a long while. You won't be upset about it, though, especially since you'll have today to prepare yourself. Take a break while you can.


Oh dear lord...BUSIER?

just stopping by for a moment. Hope you've all had a nice day.

Hi, Addy - bye, Addy

Just taking a quick break while I have a snack - then BACK TO WORK!

My Horoscope:
At this moment in time, it's easy to see how someone as intense and secretive as yourself would certainly need some privacy. However, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll be alone.

INTENSE?

SECRETIVE?

Undi...

Did that horoscope bring things to mind.

Mine puzzled me...and now I sit here alone on this thread clutching my Diet Dr. Pepper and listening to my Amadeus soundtrack.

KMF...sounds like we'll be doing a lot of venting...you have my number...I'll be here waiting for your call.

Your Horoscope 11/20/2004:
Don't be surprised if you're less likely to express your feelings than usual. You may be in a place or with people you're not quite sure of. It's okay. Save it all until you're home.

[beacon1]

Posted: 11/20/04 at 5:35pm

You can have any player you want...just trade Patrick over to my team.
