Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am having lunch with a college friend who is in town tomorrow after skating. Then, going to see this comedian on Saturday [link] , then to Cabin in the Woods (I hope) on Sunday.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Things that got hit by lightning last night: Transamerica Pyramid, towers on both GG and Bay Bridges, Cranes building the new bridge.

And the plane my sister was flying to Newark on! She's still in Newark. 22 hours travel time and still not home. She hates traveling!

This weekend, searching frantically for business apparel that fits for the conference next weekend. HATE

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Wait. While she was IN THE PLANE, FLYING?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I've spent the last two weeks working on a show with the Mayor of Sunnydale. And Tuesday during rehearsal Mr. Trick hung out with us for a little while.

!! So cool!

While she was IN THE PLANE, FLYING?

Aiyiyi. I was on a plane that was hit by lightning once. It was fine -- planes are built to withstand some pretty heavy-duty shit -- but, quite frankly, TERRIFYING.

Reading her next text, no; the plane was hit in flight while OTHER people were on it. It landed in SF, then had to be checked out before it could fly her to Newark. Then in Newark, the plane that was supposed to take her home also had some problems, so they had to get one from Baltimore, and... yeah. Still in Newark.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Very cool, aurelia!

I'm paying bills right now (AIOK, I guess?). Passover ends this weekend, so I look forward to baking some bread. I want to see Cabin in the Woods, and still need to see Hunger Games, but that'll probably wait until Monday. Oh, god, taxes, I should probably do something about those. Whoops.

Tomorrow is organizing volunteers to hang 500 lost dog flyers, and Sunday is the zoo with cousins. Also, grocery shopping.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Go tankless, Burrell, for sure!

Thanks Liese. I've been advocating tankless too.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Hey aurelia- I have a tech question for you if you are still here (I don't know if you have noticed, doing lights, but thought I would ask)

In your experience when doing 10 out of 12 tech rehearsals with costumes, does the time it takes the actors to get into costume count as part of that ten? So if the rehearsal is noon-midnight with a two hour break- are the actors called before noon so you can go with tech at noon, or all they called at noon to go at 12:30?

I'm going to a gay-country-dancing "Hoedown" all weekend--lessons and dances all day and evening. Two problems: one, I worked out with a trainer yesterday and wasn't thinking, and now my quads are on fire. Not good for dancing all weekend. Oops. Two, a not-close friend is throwing an amazing sounding birthday bash tonight, but to go I would (a) need a costume and (b) have to skip the opening night dance of the hoedown (there's only two dances--Fri/Sat). Can't really do both, I don't think (costume changes and timing, oh my). Argh.
