Big Week

Yesterday was my second day of work at the Palace, and except for getting off to a super start by setting of the burglar alarm the day went really well. I enjoy it there alot. More on that some time soon.

It was also the second day of Musical rehearsals which also went well-- Act One, Scene One of the show involves only two principal actors (and a whole lotta chorus folk, but they don't come to these rehearsals- they'll be poked and prodded and yelled at during hell week and that will pass for 'directing' the chorus members where to go and what to do...). It was fun, breezy, and we got out early. I mean, how much can you do with two actors (who are still on-book) on the second day of rehearsal. We blocked it, we played with characterization (planting ideas, not refining), experimented with interpretation (but really? Its a musical, it ain't shakespeare...), and had a few laughs and then DONE. Next time I see the scene we will get serious. You can't expect miracles while they're still shackled to the book.

Yesterday was also a big anniversary for A and I. The King and I as I sometimes say, since my family has dubbed aaron "the King". I had written like 3 blogs worth of entries at work yesterday and hoped to type them up, but one can't do silly things like that on one's anniversary. No. Instead I cooked dinner and we watched this freaky alien movie called THE FOURTH KIND, which got a terrible tomato meter rating but was actually wicked cool to watch- once you got into it.

So maybe I'll get those entries posted soon- they need to be posted- just you wait. But for now I have to get ready for another big change- what a week it has been- today is my first gig subbing in WeeBee. 2nd grade. Aaron's old elementary alma mater. I'm nervous and hoping I don't make an ass out of myself. I hope I wow them with awesomeness.
