Doors obsession! Now I'm hankering for some. Alas, I get to listen to oboe/piano scene change music... mmm joy. Also, it smells like someone has stepped in doggy doo. Why does this theater hold smells?!?!
He's an idiot director. He also isn't a very good one.
I'm hoping this isn't what is said about me by my actors...
ND and I aren't actors. We are far worse than that. We are Sound! (insert triumphant sound stinger here)
As for plans this weekend. I was hoping to have swung off this show and chillin' and doing laundry. Alas, this production seems to have a death grip on me, and will.not.let.GO. AAaarrrgggghhhh. Where is Buffy to save me and put a stake in this thing? Tomorrow I am NOT coming in. I have to start work on the next show on Monday, and I'm not going 14 days with no day off. NO FLIPPIN' WAY!
ION, I got through Easy level of Guitar Hero III last night! WTF is up with the end credits song?? Messed up!
It is bizarre how ingrained this music is in me. Right now it's "Spanish Caravan" and I really can't help but tap my desk in time to the downbeats.
Five minutes ago I started blabbing to the cashier about how if there's any song that really resonates with her she should go find the original album because each one has it's own tone and blah blah blah arty-cakes blah. I got embarassed listening to myself.
I probably haven't listened to a single doors album start to finish in ten years.
Omnis is this the same needy designer you've been dealing with for the past few weeks?
Bah. just got back from the funeral of a 25 year old beloved son, brother, nephew, friend. It sucked. There was so much grief and pain. It was hard and horrible and I hope I never have to go through something like that again. I hope no one here does.

Yes, I am very familiar with ND's amazing sound prowess. Actually, I am in awe of his talent.
I lament my lack of sound ability. I got sucked into lighting quite a bit. These days day's I am 'just' a lowly Drama teacher. (which seems to translate into "chief cook and bottle washer")
Sorry you are dealing with "problem people," Omnis!
(((Nora))) I'm so sorry. Funerals for the young are just so awful.
Oh Nora, I am so, so sorry. That is a terrible thing for anyone to have to go through. All of the punctuation for you.
Omnis is this the same needy designer you've been dealing with for the past few weeks?
Actually, its not the Sound Designer. Their are projection "slides" in the show giving titles to each scene. Set Designer didn't spec a system in. TD uses our generic simple system. Now Set Designer is all wanting of Keynote abilities. And since I'm the one triggering, I get the "we want" crap. I've done the bad thing of saying, "All I do is trigger the cues given to me. That's a scenic element". Plus the SM is being an ASS. If I hadn't spoke up, she was about to do the following: call tech in at noon. call actors in at 12:30. Do tech notes starting at noon. Actor notes backstage at 12:30. At 1:15, the actors came back from a 10 min break to start teching things again... which means the next break wouldn't be for another 90 minutes. Soooo? Our board ops don't get a break for 3 hours? Actually more since we were doing notes before hand??? I DON"T THINK SO! So this is the shit I'm putting up with. I haven't exploded... yet.
