Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Can a college theatre department sell (at a prophet) videos of past productions of non-original material-- that is, the production is riginal and we paid for rights to put it on, but the playwright is still alive?
I'm sure the rights agreement probably strictly forbid that. Sam French agreements usually allowed for archival copies and that's it. Not to mention any fees for directors, designers, professional actors and stage managers (if you had any). Also license fees for any recorded music used. It's a crazy huge can of worms, Sophia.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Sophia, at least in my book contracts there are very specific clauses dealing with issues like this. It would probably be in the contract with the original playwright (or whoever put the production together if it was something like a revue).

There's some stuff that I just would not be able to do without a magnifying glass.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Friday cute:
Good LORD this afternoon is going slowly. Could someone feed the hamster in the time-passage generator? I think it's gone to sleep.

I suppose I should just bow to my encroaching cronehood and invest in one of those dangly magnifiers that perch on your bosom (the nice elderly ladies who I've seen use them may not have breasts, as such, much less tits). Then I could do my bobbin lace again.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thanks guys! I assumed this was the case, but wanted some back-up. My theatre boss is, as usual, craxy!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My RSI-avoidance software recommends as well as the far away focus thing, putting your hands over your open eyes--apparently looking into darkness is more relaxing than just closing your eyes.
