Intense Days

I met a friend at a new restaurant for breakfast. A steady stream of taxi drivers were coming and going for food-to-go. A good sign.

We both had an omelette, toast and coffee. It was good and cost $6 for both of us. Hell of a price, considering we drank 5 cups of coffee which were charged individually.

While we were eating, the play director called and wanted me to help set up the lighting rig. I told him I was busy. Then, of course, a few minutes later, he walked by and saw me hanging out with my friend.

It is hard to get away with anything in a small town!

I worked out, then I returned to help him out setting up the lights. He was alone, a bad sign. And he was pissed...no one to help.

He started to rant and rave about this town not supporting his plays, blah, blah, blah.

So I made a couple of off color remarks, a sure way to get a guy laughing. And it worked.

The cast and supporting people in the play are starting to get on each other's nerves. We have had a couple of melt downs. Mostly women fighting with women.

Got to love the women acting out rather than the men!

I do love the drama!

Plenty of screaming and yelling, throwing things and stomping off the set. And, of course, talking behind everyone's back.

The play is coming together nicely. Should I be worried? Peaking too soon?

We'll see.

I must say that I was beat tonight. My performance at rehearsal today sucked. I blew the french scene and a few other things. We were using full costumes and props for the first time. It was a strain and HOT, HOT, HOT. My costumes were saturated with sweat.

I was beat. I refused an invitation to eat dinner out. Too tired.

So I'm home now...kicked back...fighting with my hyper active dog. When is she going to settle down for the night.

It's always something!
