much ado about wanting to do nothing
i want to be like my mother: sometimes i just want to drop out of life.
that was mean. i think i just cannot fathom having a life of doing "nothing" as i call it, when even in the nothingness of my slumber my mind is still doing ten million things at once. i guess that is why i am so mean about it. i have so much to do that i don't understand how a person is allowed to be a stay at home anything. deep down i wish that could be my future.
ahhhhhhh i took the morning off but still did work. then i finished blocking act I with the kids and i laughed so hard at my own blocking because for three pages i was a genius! the other seventy some odd pages i realize i can't block worth crap. even though i keep directing shows....
the boys are doing well. they are starting to get to flow of it all and the eccentricities of their characters. i am pleased. the girls are always great.
one girl, the other twin, cut bangs on herself. even though amber doesn't have bangs. hmmm... why did we not think about how YOU HAVE TO LOOK LIKE TWINS??? i'm sorry, i just have to worry about the set, costumes, props, lighting, sound, slide shows, audience participation, acting, blocking, finances, the library dumping copy machines and shelves and boxes full of textbooks in the stage craft room, and now, how to make twins out of one bang-wearing girl and one not. i am sure she didn't realize it, i'm not mad, i'm just stating the facts.
juan is going to venetian plaster the set, that's his business. then i'll put his business card in the program so people can go "what a beautiful set! i wonder who painted that! oh! i'll call him and pay him hundreds of dollars to do my house!"
YES.
i told him he should name his venetian plaster business, are you ready...:
GET PLASTERED
hahahahahahaha! come on! i would let him paint my house! what a creative colombian!
speaking of which, he came to check out the set (and the drama teacher) the other day, and ended up talking to the two colombian students in the show for over an hour about their lives in good ole colombia, the greatest place on earth. meanwhile, i moved a copy machine, benches, a ton of textbooks, and a GRAND PIANO out of the stage craft room BY MY SOLO SELF. that's okay. i'm strong like bull! here's how it went:
Dana: OH MY HOLY CRACK MONKEYS! THIS IS HEAVY...
Juan: YO QUIERO TACO BELL
Dana: MAN THIS IS A BEAST!
Juan: QUESADILLA FAJITA CHIMICHANGA IGUANA MIA
Dana: I MIGHT JUST DIE RIGHT NOW
Juan: AY CARUMBA MUCHO GUSTO TORTUGA AMARILLO
(he'd be really mad if he knew i was portraying him like a mexican. i asked him what was in a chimichanga and he got all offended.. "what? why should i know that? i'm not mexican." i was like "where's terry when you need him?")
anyway, jeff moll is gonna do lights for me!!! yeah!!! jp will do curtains! yay!!!
so i hope everyone can try to make it!

"oh but your sisters name is ashley, that's right."
"oh her name is amber."
"YOU GOT LOW CLASS!!!!" (all right all right you got me, she didn't say that last thing, but how funny would that have been??)
