More Catching Up

[howeird]

Saturday was a nutshell kind of day. Slept till 10, stayed in bed till 11, on the computer till noon, got dressed, did some chores and spent most of the afternoon on the porch studying lines. I pretty much have Act 1, though the songs are still iffy. Act 2 will need more work, but it's only 2 scenes, and one is very short.

Dinner was just some leftover fried chicken, but I put the corned beef in the crock pot with some spices and celery and mushrooms and half an onion. Plan is to have some for late lunch tomorrow.

Then to the gas station, and to the toga party. I didn't wear one, too clumsy, and besides my orange sheets are in the wash.

Good party, met some new people, chatted with of friends, got to be a serial consoler for a friend whose mom passed away last week. There were some parallels with my mom's passing, but he had by far the worst experience.

Lots of food, much chocolate, a fun time was had by all. I bailed at around midnight.

Plans for tomorrow:
Photo shoot at 11, this time the model is not a candidate for Shape magazine, but she has incredible eyes.
Choreography rehearsal at 6, they will completely re-do my Big Number. It is scoped out for 40 minutes, but if it takes less than an hour I will be very surprised. We had done this number before, but it was way too soon, before I knew the song, and before we had any idea what the set would look like or where we would be on it. There has been a lot of that kind of stupidity in this production. For instance, Tuesday we're supposed to be off book, but we've only just blocked Act II.
