It's been nothing but trouble for MTC all season: Manhattan Theater Club Opens a New Home and Finds Trouble. Maybe the U of C intern they get will change it all...yeah.

That's it for me now. Whoever thought that I could work full time, go to school at night, and be the PSM for 2 different shows was crazy. Wait, that was me.

Tech for Little Shop is this weekend. Friday I have to get to Sex! right after dry tech. Saturday I can't go to Sex! (it's the last night of an extension we weren't supposed to have to this short-running show) becuase we have a 10 out of 12, then have to strike another show, then production meeting. Which means that for me it's a 9am to 1am affair. Sunday's 8 of 10 won't be so much better, especially since we'll be leaving the theater (post meeting) right around then LOTR wins the best picture Oscar.

Have I mentioned that this is the first Oscar telecast since Dances with Wolves won everything that I will miss? I think it is unrealistic of me to expect to go on full media blackout for very long, so I'm going to get home from tech, re-wind the tape, and watch the whole thing. Which will make Monday's exhaustion totally my fault, but I can handle that.

This morning is the quarterly meeting for all the departmental course schedulers to whine at the registrar's office. We will accomplish nothing, but we will all feel better. It is, however, 2 hours out of my life.

Yesterday I had to stop and buy Zesty Mint Flavoured stage blood, and several colors of base. The man at grand stage looked at the collection of stuff and said "little shop of horrors?". I found that amusing. I was also amused that the guy behind me in line had been sent with complex instructions about picking "something" up. That something was a gel swatch book. He looked so confused to get something so small.

I won't be posting much for the next 10 days or so. I know you'll miss me terribly, but try to hold on.
