Now Fay needs to tell us about knocking someone up.
And the day she scolded her students for not bringing rubbers to class.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I look more rad than Lutheranism
vw, my doctor once said he never takes someone off ADs in the winter; maybe this is similar, since we're sliding towards fall now. I know sedatives are not ADs, but I just wonder if there's something there.

Mostly lurking...
Well, this sedative has a known AD quality, and is actually going to be approved by the FDA for use with depression probably early next year. So...
It could be partly that. I know this is the last taper he's going to do this year for that very reason.

Kristin, you are amazing! Keep up the fantastic work!
Trudy Booth, thanks.
I really wish they'd build an actual auditorium so we don't have to perform in a gym with no stage or backstage. Boy, an auditorium would be so helpful.
ChiKat, this is so me. Except I have a choice between the "Cafe-a-gym-a-barn-a- hell-a-torium" my school seems to think is amazing and my "industrial arts room turned black box theatre" that they also force me to teach all my classes in since they took my classroom from me last year (yeah, I'm still a bitter about that).
The school is supposed to be renovating the entire campus. One of the first things cut was the theatre/auditorium. They felt the $5-10 million extra wasn't worth the cost, instead they are going to 'renovate' the Cafetorium and make it totally usable. The place has the worst acoustics imaginable, the stage is tile over concrete and the only way to adjust or service lighting is to get a lift and have a janitor to do the work (liability won't cover anyone else).
Oh, how I have grown to loath that school.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay Kristin! Joy is good.
{{vw}} I'm sorry, hon.
I just got finished replying to hate and politics email. Exhausted now. It is a whole lot easier to just delete, but sometimes I just can't let it go. Time for wine now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Please tell me that they don't do musicals or anything with dancing on that. My ankles are hurting just thinking about it.
A few years ago, I stage-managed a student theatre show in a theater that used to be a basement. The wings were only connected to backstage on one side of the stage, so if anyone had to made an entrance from the other side, they had to just hang out in the wings for the entire act up until that point, and if someone exited and then entered again, the entrance and exit had to be from the same side of the stage. The room wasn't wired for the built-in headsets, and there were no other headsets available, so any messages I had to communicate to someone in the opposite wing, I wrote down in thick marker on a notepad and held it up while shining my flashlight on it. The sound system was that all our sounds were on a CD in a player hooked up to the PA system, and the second night, that stopped working. You could only see about a quarter of the stage from the sound booth, and maybe three quarters of it from the lighting booth. And, since there were no headsets, the lighting person had to do everything just by following along in the script. (And the lighting in this show was complicated. There were five distinct areas on stage, and stuff could be going on in one or several of those area at once, and the lights had to follow that.)

Not much change. There's been some minor improvements, but she's still breathing on the ventilator. She's not going to get better unless her body can fight off the infection, but her body is not very well suited for that these days.
Still, her fever is down to 99 (from 101 last night), and her heart rate has improved, though it's still hovering around 105 to 110.
Her blood pressure is only stead at about 90/65 or so because they have her on multiple medications to keep it up.
Although one of the biggest improvements is that she's regaining some strength in her left side.
I'm home, getting ready for the opera. I won't know anything more until tomorrow morning.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Ongoing wishes to you and S, Sean. Take all the curly-brackets you need -- I can make more any time.
