Agreed.

Prediction: Maria and msbelle are gonna almost lose their voices and something will get knocked over from gesticulations. (I've seen them in action, people.)

Think I'm gonna pull an ac unit this weekend. But not the bedroom unit, just turned it back on. In October. Thinking of getting a skid on wheels so I can roll both units into the big closet. Gonna require some closet Tetris, but it'd be nice to not store them out in the open. And I'm not moving them to the basement ever again.

OMG- yet another tech where costumes and props (the women) are prepared, and lights, sound and video are literally writing every cue as if they have never talked to the director. And they probably haven't, as this director will not commit, but we sort of make him. The designer and I want to go back to a world where we don't have costumes until they are finished with lights and sound, like it was when I was in college, because here we are, all ready like good little girls and didn't even need extra time to get through the costume, and they spent 6 hours dicking aournd about the first 5 minutes of the show.

Sophia, in my world we can't start writing lighting cues until the start of tech. Sometimes that is 1-1.5 hours before actors hit the stage, but that is how it works. Sound and video should have files to work with but there is a lot that can't happen until it is in the space and in context.

Shrift and I are on a coach tour with friends. I'm sorry to miss you, Maria.

Aurelia- it isn't the actual writing on the board, it is that the director and designers are seeming to have never spoken about the cues and the design concept! I don't even know if it is the designers fault, I think it is the director Something like - the directors says I always imagined a thunderstorm here, but they have no idea and then have to build. Thunderstorm sound and video cue right there, including locating sound files for a thunderstorm.

Also, I didn't mean to slag off lights sound a video, this process is just so frustrating and I wish they were not in clothes for the beginning of this process until we got some semblance of the directors and designers being on the same page. What is happening right now is like if everyone walked on stage in their street clothes, and the director, only then began talking to the designer about what his design concept he wanted for costumes, and then we had to go find them while everyone else waited. In this case it might be helpful to do it that way- we would all have time to work!

Guess who's back? The dating robot! After a week off, apparently he misses me. Remember we have never met and not even had a real conversation even over text.

I bet the relationship he's having in his head is amazing. Pity he's attempting to project his fantasy world on a real human.
