At the request of Mr. etcet

1) Total number of books owned?
Quite a few, but not as many as there used to be. I realized that recently. I don’t even know what happened to them. I used to have a lot of Vonnegut. Gone. Same with all my Hunter S. Thompson, Robert Asprin, Piers Anthony. Kinda sad, really. Anyway, I’d say several hundred.

2) The last book I bought:
“The Cat Who Walks Through Walls” by Robert Heinlein

3. The last book I read:
“Star Trek : Deep Space Nine – Unity” by S.D. Perry

4) Books that mean a lot to me:
“1984” by George Orwell
“The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkein
“The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy” by Douglas Adams
“Richard Scarry’s Busy Busy World ” by Richard Scarry
“Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual” by Gary Gygax

Machinal opens on June 2nd.

The Paid Preview night is Wednesday, June 1st. Tickets are half price for this performance. If you have wanted to catch one of our shows but don’t feel you can afford it, this is a great opportunity for you to see what we’re about.

Two hour rehearsal today, and then a 10 (technically 12) hour one tomorrow. Exhaustion time approaches. Snarkiness has already begun and will probably be in full effect tomorrow. Ahh, Hell Week. We love you so.

Looking forward to friends coming over tonight. The first “public” outing of the grill.

It’s going to be a long day, and I’m tired already. Hopefully I just haven’t woken up yet.

Check out the play that was being produced in this article.

I ran into one of my ninth grade theater teachers, Kerry Glamsch, at a showing of Girls Guide To Chaos a few weeks ago. He wanted my contact info, but I forgot to get it to him. mollyq gave me his address and I wrote him this morning. Now we’re catching up, and he is asking if I’m interested in working with him on a show.

Everything comes full circle, I guess. Too bad it’s not another staged version of an Edward Gorey story.

…is R’s birthday. Apparently Mom isn’t dealing too well with it. I wouldn’t have known if my sister L. hadn’t called me yesterday and told me.

After watching enough news, I’ve concluded that we’re all doomed…Thus, the only sane response is to sit in a box and drink beer from a hat.

Ok, gang. If you don’t mind, please check in here and let me know if you’re coming on Saturday and how many people you are bringing if you are. I need to order the cake today and I want to make sure I get enough. In case you aren’t clear, we are planning on 6PM Saturday.

If you’re bringing some kind of dish or something to throw on the grill, or if you have any special dietary concerns, please comment to that effect here as well.

Thanks!

I have recently been thinking a lot about friends and friendships.

Huge Friggin’ Shrimp + Olive Oil + Freshly Squeeze Lemon + Kosher Salt + Super Spiffy New Grill = Holy Crap my stomach is happy.

Throw in some steak and I’m damned near orgasmic.

I love my new grill.
