Holy crap, sara, how terrifying!
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
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.
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.
Hmm, my stunning lack of planning or measuring or, potentially, paying attention means that my split pea soup is going to be split pea and shredded potato soup. And not done for a while.
I also thought my heater sucked but really I just had the vents in "OMG summer and air conditioning is frightfully expensive" configuration.
This is not my most effective Saturday morning. Even if both of those mistakes were initially made last night.
Father is sprung, and I am home! Time to get packing....
You can play Doctor Who on Google today!
I maybe forgot why I opened that tab. And the poor Doctor was a little bit exterminated while I tried to figure out how to play. But he regenerated.

Augh! Time sink! I didn't need to know that, but thank you, Cass. May need to point my son towards that one.
Sara, is that car crash the kind that side air bags were built for?
Jesse, is your dad ok?
Happy Saturday all. We are going to see Catching Fire tonight.
Yeah, he's all right, thanks.
The good news is that apparently there is a lot research and whatnot on anti-seizure drugs and Alzheimer's -- the one they gave him at a hospital apparently did some good for dementia in mice in some study. And some other ones are given to smooth out moods. So at least there's not massive contraindications there. That's something! (I know someone whose father's dementia is so atypical they can't treat it at all, because the drugs for one thing it could be would exacerbate the other thing it could be, and vice versa. Ugh!)
