Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Man, it's cold. Just back from an hour-long walk, with stop for bagels and cafe con leche.
Long walks with Darb are kind of hilariously circuitous. We end up zigzagging all over the neighborhood because she won't walk past the house of any dog she doesn't like, ie any dog who's ever barked at her.
There are entire blocks we can't go down, and others where we have to crisscross three times.
Aw, Darby.
OK, I am dressed and will sally forth in search of hot beverages. Sadly, the coffee shop that was just down the street has moved further away, so I will need to both drive and make decisions.
I would love to meet Darby one day. Sweet girl.
Anyone watching would think we were evading a tail.
Some of these dogs are her friends at the park. She loves playing with Jackson the Shar Pei, but she will not walk past his house.
It's super ridic, but anytime she asserts her preferences I want to encourage that, so we go with it.

That's fascinating. I wonder why dog park!Jackson is different than house of!Jackson.

Maybe Jackson is territorial when he's at home?
A neighbor of mine used to have a dog that would bark his ass off and lunge at me whenever I walked past his front yard. But when he was a few feet away on the sidewalk and the other side of the fence, he was the sweetest thing.
Exactly.
Holy crap, sara, how terrifying!
Thank Erin, that was really helpful in in pointing our issues.
We are a university theatre without a theatre major, but all our designers and half of our directors are from professional theatre. So, we have kids who are just learningto program the light board or do quick changes or call cues during tech, since they really haven't even had classes,and designers and direcors who are unused to teaching people how to do things. It is really those kids who need the practice of either somethinglike a dry tech, or at least someone to sit down with them and go over cues and expectations.
Of course, right now, my problem is we are techingtoday and the costume plot is in the designers head, which I can just run with, but these wardrobe crew who have never even worked with costumes are goingto be lost. Usually what happens to keep tech going is that my senior students and I learn the show, and then teach it to the crew after we get it.
