just one quick thing – this morning i saw a woman, and i thought she looked like somebody i knew. i kept looking at her, and after a while it hit me – she looked EXACTLY like one of the evil aunts in “james and the giant peach,” one of my favorite books. i can\u2019t remember the aunt\u2019s name; there was a short and fat one, and a tall, thin one with a tight bun at the top of her pointy head. <\/p>\n
this woman was the precise image of the tall, thin one. her name was stryker or something like that, i\u2019d look it up but i don\u2019t have time right at this moment.<\/p>\n
rehearsals are making me very tired. last night i was home by 10:45, but had to sit around for a little while to unwind. we did the can-can a few times, and the last time we did it, i only screwed up once, which i was quite pleased about. the hair woman, annie, brought me a fall, which is like a wig only it doesn\u2019t completely cover your head. it\u2019s going to look good, i think, and hopefully it won\u2019t come off while caleb is lifting all around.<\/p>\n
the forecast calls for lots and lots of rain starting on saturday, which i\u2019ve decided will definitely not happen, because that would be completely disasterous for the show. we start our tech week rehearsals on sunday, and rain would ruin us. so it won\u2019t rain, at least not at night.<\/p>\n
i got to say quite a few of my lines last night, and one guy in the cast who was sitting out in the audience kept laughing when i said them, because of my inspector clousseau-like accent. this made me happy.<\/p>\n
later, we were sitting around watching the people rehearse, and a woman came over to us. she\u2019d been sitting with a few people over in a corner of the seating area, and we didn\u2019t know who they were. “we can\u2019t hear the show,” she said. she was under the impression that this was an actual performance taking place, instead of a rehearsal. we thought this was funny, and agreed that the real show will probably be at least a little better than the rehearsal, plus we\u2019ll have costumes and makeup and microphones and theoretically, at least, we won\u2019t be stopping every few minutes to fix things.<\/p>\n
whew. i\u2019ve already had a starbucks bottled light frappaccino, and i\u2019m about to have an iced tea, which will hopefully help to get me through the rest of the day, which is going to last quite a few more hours.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
grace now even thinking things with a french accent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
