Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Um. Socks? One of those plastic drain-clog removers? A copy of Chak De! India?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I've seen Chak De! It's adorable.
We finally figured it out. But sometimes spending money is a lot of work.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats Laga!

Amazon should have the equivalent of the end cap on the checkout page, when you only need a couple of bucks to get free shipping. "Oh, you're short a few dollars? These items cost that much, why not throw one of these in?"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
They used to do that, didn't they? I've been Prime for a long time now, so I never have to make those decisions.
Congratulations and best wishes for the future, Laga! I'm thrilled for you!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What part of that word describes what those words do?
When did most words (in grammar or out) start fulfilling that requirement? Verb, noun, adjective, adverb...where'd that expectation come from?
Kat: She must know my cousin M. That world is not that big. I have some guys I'd love to rate on Lulu, and some I'd like to look up (overlap there) but neither group includes my one ex. I'm sure he's fine. Sometimes you find out some douche stuff not dating them. Once you're no longer bound by buddy confidentiality rules, why not go all out and rate on the internet?

"verb" is a noun. But then, so is "noun."
I may need more cold medicine.

Nah, you can totally verb nouns.
See what I did there?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've called directors out on being insulting to the entire design staff by telling the cast that they just have to suffer through tech and then and I quote "get back to the real work."
I've mostly found that in the educational world.
Also, the deal that I am making with the director, and hopefully that the entire design staff is making, is that if the show can be given to us for one or two tech rehearsals for us to do our work, then we will give it back at the end of that.
Yes! Exactly. Which includes costumes and quick changes and everything. Don't short change the early parts of the tech process and you're more likely to get a run or two under show conditions before you have an audience and we can be finessing the design elements instead of frantically fixing.
I'm not a fan of dry tech (or tech without costumes) for that reason. Asking me to light a show without the actual actors and the costumes means I'm building the lighting equivalent to rehearsal props during that time and that I'll have less actual tech time to turn them into real cues. I'm happy to dry tech big moments that involve a lot of coordination between design elements, but a whole show? No thank you. Ditto cue-to-cue.
