Today's accomplishments: Made a healthy lunch for the week (quinoa with various veggies and beans), recorded a podcast about the Watcher with Graymalkin Lane, made British-style flapjacks as an after-school snack for the kids. Pretty good, all things considered.

Tonight I watched "The Pandorica Opens" while being crushed by the nine-year-olds, who were totally freaked out about what was in the box. And talk about a cliffhanger! We'll finish the two-parter on Sunday. #DoctorWho

This handsome guy is sitting next to my kid, who is holding two taquitos that he is not letting the cat eat. He is clearly frustrated.

Sitting at the bank. The Christmas music is almost enough to drive me out.

I have no conferences today, so I will be spending the morning at my desk, finishing the second Dungeon Crawler Carl book and listening to the Pirates! The Penzance Musical soundtrack, which I just downloaded as I await the full cast list for the show I just got into. I lead a weird life.

I am closing the show I directed tonight, and then we have strike and a cast party that I'll probably be at for all of 30 minutes. 12 hours later, I have auditions for my spring show in which I have 30 seconds to get myself into a show that has 150 other people auditioning. 😭😭😭

9.2 just called me into the room because he recognized the opening of Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell playing in the background of one of his TV shows.

I just started attempting to learn the music for my audition on Sunday. It SUUUUUCCCCKKKKKSSSSS. It's in 6/8, it's FAST, it's got differing numbers of rests between phrases each time, and it's Sondheim, so the accompaniment in no way matches up with the vocal line.
I have work to do before Sunday.

Some shows go off without a hitch.
Other shows have the light board up and die 7 days before opening.
And some shows have an amazing lighting designer who owns his own board, brings it in and saves the day.
This is one of those shows.

That feeling when you're in an experimental theatre production and you've been beheaded, so you take your head and go sit in the corner.
I've had so much fun directing this show.

Chaos Mode by Piers Anthony got me into fantasy novels in sixth grade.
Salem's Lot got me into horror the same year.
Ultimate Spider-Man got me back into comics, which resulted in me working at Marvel for four years.

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

The librarian at my school has been getting the faculty to read the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. I'm about 40 pages away from finishing the first one, and he was right about it. It's super fun. I already have the second one on my nighttable.

Just found a hole in the crotch of my jeans and I can't get home to change until after work. So...that's cool.

I picked up Kung Pain Brussels sprouts at Trader Joe's today on the recommendation of another shopper who said they were amazing. I am oddly excited about this.

I can't get over how pretty the set for the show I'm directing is.
We took the set from last year's musical, added a few elements, and gave the whole thing a facelift.
