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

That's great!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is why you just buy the penis cake.

I am ridiculous: I want to have chips and dip for dinner tomorrow, so now I'm browning some onions.

Our wings are not tired

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.

This, so much this!

My goal is always to walk away at the end of my tech rehearsals with the show at a place where if we needed to we could put an audience in the house the next night. Every department needs to be working towards this. It is also very doable, I've been able to achieve this one shows where I have one 10 of 12 and one 8 of 10 and there are 400+ sound cues and 500+ lighting cues. It just takes organization and forethought.

You know, we carry a "Heart/Santa" cake kit that uses the same pan, kind of the same idea. I don't think I'm ready to be showing my co-workers penis cake pictures, though. My sexual harassment seminar was not very long ago.

There's something odd about seeing someone on tv who you regularly see in swim trunks. Local public tv food guy is one of the regular swimmers that I'm friendly with (lisah- Al Spoler.)

OK, to bed, I'm exhausted. Tomorrow is my last day until after TG, but I have so much to do and am in such denial.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Need "windmill" cake. With barns around it. Or a water wheel. And maybe Don Quixote.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

If Aurelia or NoiseDesign is around, I have a tech question. In professional theaters, when doing a 10 out of 12, do actors get into costume during those 10 hours or are they called in a half hour early in the morning and at dinner break( really making it 11 out of 12.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

And my state finally does something good regarding gay rights: [link]
