and it’s grey and dismal and cold but i don’t care at all.
rehearsal last night was very intense. well, it was intense for others, anyway. we worked on the crazy second act where the entire set is rotated front to back and you see the action of the players doing the play from backstage. and while there’s stuff going on onstage (which is played toward the back of the theater), there’s all kinds of stuff going on behind the scenes, all of it in pantomime.
mostly i don’t have to do much in the second act. not so much running around like a crazy person, which is what others have to do quite a bit. and it’s hard to try to memorize just action as opposed to dialogue, so people were getting really frustrated. the thing about rehearsals is that we start at 6:30 and they last till 9:30, but sometimes the time seems to go really really really slowly.
i’m going to the new magic kitchen for lunch today. it’s where the old romanesque was, among other things. i’m looking forward to it a lot. you should try it sometime, because it’s delicious. i haven’t been to the old magic kitchen in about a million years, but i did like going there. you can bring your own alcohol to the old one (the new one has a liquor license), and i remember having to wait for about four days to get a table, which meant that most people were pretty drunk by the time they were seated. it was kind of a crazy place, and might still be for all i know.
the new magic kitchen seems a lot cleaner and more tidy and organized. also more brightly lit, never a good thing. it’s almost too sterile, as opposed to the frantic drunken dirty old one.
but the food, delicious.
my chief plan for the afternoon is to have a nap, before massages and rehearsal and staying up late.
i’m looking forward to sleeping late tomorrow morning.
ok then,
friday grace.
