I'm blah today too, for no good reason. Except, I guess, regular depression mixed with pandemic fatigue? Everything just seems like Too Much. I mostly want to just sit in the shade with iced tea and read and smoke, like, forever.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Are people watching Brave New World? Which thread would that be?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
In small world theatre news, I just rewatched Hamilton and made it through the credits without tears coating my eyes. The wig designer used to work with me at the Eastman Opera when I was a dresser in like, 1995-2000! He was the wig designer, and one thing I knew was DO NOT TOUCH THE WIGS! I hope he is doing OK in the pandemic, because I seriously picked the best time ever to give up on theatre as a money making enterprise and I am so worried for people who were doing well, because it is just seeminly done until January. I was already closeish to the production for someone who works at a college theatre, as I worked with the costume designer for Bring It On AND was accidentally once sent Jonathon Groff's measurements, which gave me a chuckle.

Oh, yeah. I guess if I want to validate those as real reasons for you I should accept them for me, too. Hm.
Streaming, erin? I forget what that's on, but it isn't broadcast, right? I guess it could go in Boxed Set. I haven't seen anyone talking about it, so I think you get to decide!

My workday is officially done (tomorrow will likely suck, but that is a problem for tomorrow) and the cat is fed, I'm gonna lie down with the fan pointed right at me and not move for a while.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's cool, Sophia!
My choir director at church, who's just been doing solos for Zoom church, showed us a singer's mask yesterday, and it was pretty impressive. He said it was developed for Broadway, so they are trying! It had like a brace inside holding the mask away from his mouth and also somehow wasn't muffling the sound at ALL.

Wow, cool!
I just realized I missed the first Operations biweekly meeting. Oops. Oh, well, I have my 1:1 with the new VP tomorrow, I can find out then what I missed, I guess.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, that would be good, if it works.

He didn't sing with it on, but for talking, it was impressive.
