Obviously, Mother Nature didn’t get yesterday’s letter. Dammit.
I’m about 15 minutes late getting ready for work this morning, but thought I should take a moment to write, since I’ve been so off in the last several weeks. Our world premiere work opened on Friday night, and I think that everything went well…the audiences so far have been very receptive to the piece. We didn’t have performances on Sunday or Monday, so I took some well-deserved time off with my honey.
Sunday we drove to Fort Hall, Idaho, and played at their little Indian casino. You know that you haven’t been anywhere in a while when you get excited about interstate driving and reaching speeds of 75 miles per hour. The casino is small, VERY smoky, and the service at their grill SUCKED, but we had an excellent time playing slots. I actually walked out having blown only $60.00 of the $200.00 I’d set aside for gambling, so it was a great day of gaming for me. Someday I’ll learn to quit when I’m actually ahead. Someday.
Yesterday we actually reached temperatures around 60° (whoohoo), so I spent some time outdoors, cleaning off the deck and enjoying my favorite summer drink, the mojito. After a drunken phone call to my best friend, I grilled some burgers, and we watched WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY over dinner. Sigh. I love a good day off!
Today we’re supposed to see a big storm system blow in, bringing rain, hail, & strong winds. What’s the weather supposed to bring for the rest of the week? You guessed it: snow showers. ARGH! Dear Mother Nature: for the love of all things holy…enough with the cold & the snow. I just can’t take it much longer. Thanks in advance, Tracy.
I’ve been slammed at work this last couple of weeks, but the show I’m working on previews tonight. Whoohoo! Hopefully I’ll be back to regular posting for a while.
Almost all of the snow in our yard has melted…that is, except for the dusting that came overnight and the possible 2″ - 4″ we might get tonight. Will it never be warm again????? Yargh!
I haven’t been posting much lately; the new play I’m working on is kicking my butt, and by the time I get home, I’m too brain-dead to write anything. It’ll only be getting worse in the next 10 days, so I thought I’d take a moment and check in.
The ski season is officially over, and the town has shut down for Spring Break. For two weeks, it will be like a ghost town here—most of the local businesses take off while they can, shutting their doors and getting the hell out of Dodge before the summer tourist season kicks in. It hasn’t been too bad this week, but my guess is that next week the tumbleweeds will start rolling through the streets, and finding a cup of coffee downtown will become a challenge.
It’s still ridiculously cold here, but it’s warming up enough that the snow is melting and the promise of summer is in the air. (It seems that we’ll be skipping Spring altogether this year.) I’m looking forward to seeing my yard again, and as soon as I can get all of the ice & snowpack off of my deck, I’m firing up the grill. I’ve been refusing to wear my jacket in hopes that my small act of defiance will chase off the cold. Yesterday I noticed that town workers are sweeping the gravel & sand off of the sidewalks, and people are out riding their bikes again. I’m sure I’ll be out on mine again soon.
Just a little video I found after transferring files to my new computer. I shot this on my digital camera while subbing in for a crew member on SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN, Summer 2006. I didn’t think the video feature worked on the camera…for some reason I couldn’t get it to play on the old Powerbook. I’m so glad I found it…Lindsay makes me pee a little bit!
My “Young Miss” says that guys first look for a nice personality and sense of humor in a girl. Well, if that’s the truth, guys should be going for me all over the place!! I have a nice personality and a GREAT sense of humor!
Okay, like, one time I had a ball chain around my neck, pretty tight, and I go “Hey, Jay, a choker!” and this girl Dana L (yuck) goes “Yeah, you need one Tracy!” and I go “Well, at least I don’t need a leash!” and Jay cracked up and Dana almost died. (not laughing). Oh, by the way while I’m talking about Jay, his dad past away last week. I felt so sad with him. I sent him a card.
Dennis D I love you! Do you know me? No? Well, I’m the fat kid in Spanish that flirts alot.
I don’t get it! Why did I not grow up to be a comedienne or a comedy writer? I had all the groundwork laid out by 7th grade. I guess I should have taken that left turn in Albuquerque.
Oh, my, god. It has been almost three months since I smoked a cigarette, and today I’m having the worst nicotine fits out of nowhere. I’m going to have to go find some nicotine gum in my car!
Kids, if you’re thinking about smoking, DON’T. It is WAY too hard to kick the habit.
Today we begin rehearsals for our new production - a world premiere work. Argh. I have two meetings (staff & production), a meeting with the director, and I still need to finish a rehearsal schedule & other paperwork before our 7:00p read-through. I also have to find the groundplan so I can tape out the rehearsal floor tomorrow morning. Bleh!!!
I really am excited about starting something new, but I wish there had been a day off somewhere in the picture.
We woke up this morning to a new inch of snow on the cars. If I were the skiing type (which I’m not), I’d be thrilled. There’s still a week to go of ski season, and there is talk that we might break a snowfall record. Um, hurrah, I guess? It was really pretty to begin with, but now it’s MARCH, dear Lord in Heaven, hallowed be thy name…can we have some freakin’ Spring weather??? I’m over it. I need hyacinths and daffodils, stat.
The kids’ show is almost over…two shows today, then a matinee tomorrow and strike. I’d be all kinds of happy, but I start immediately into a three-week rehearsal period for a new work on Tuesday. No day off this week; it’s all about prep work. I feel guilty for not being in the office this very minute, but hell, everyone needs some “me time”.
Unfortunately, most of my morning “me-time” just went to cleaning the litter boxes and spot-cleaning carpet. I love my 15-year-old kitty, but it’s such a pain in the ass having to clean up after her all the time. Sigh.
