I haven't updated in a while; So here goes
1) Frank Audtions
I, and Cynthia, auditoined for Frank N. Furter for Back Row this past Sunday. We've been without a Frank since last June; when Thomas left us. We audtioned using "Sweet Tranvestite" and "Fay Ray/ Wild and UnTamed Thing". We both thing we did rather well. I would have done better if I had practiced the 2nd song instead of "I'm Going Home" like I expected. The voting members present: Sarah, Lani, Dave, adn Jody. Emily and Barry were thre too but this was thier last non-vote meeting. The vote: A Tie. Sarah and Lani for me; Dave and Jody for Cynthia. I was suprised about Dave. I thought he would be for me. Emily and Barry I think would be for me. Emily is the one sarah thinks wants to jump my bones. the consensus was I was the better actor; and Cythia had it down better. So with more practice I can get it I think. If Jackie was there, and she was supposed to be; I would have lost it. This is what we are goign to do: Cnythia is Frank this month (I am Cola since Jackie was a no call no show); and I will be Frank in April. The castmembers who were at both will vote.
This is my run down on my cast expectations
Sarah - Obviously for me
Jackie - Would vote for a piece of toast over me.
Lani - Vote is locked I think
Dave - Can be won over I do belive; He's a clear thinker.
Jody - Really not sure; He's kinda predisposed to Cynthia
TJ - Jackie has him in her pocket.
Emily - I think I totally have her locked in
Barry - Like Dave will see clearly.
Carl - Who knows? He has the hots for Cynthia, so he may vote for her; but he may want to keep her as janet (he's Rocky)
So thats 3 definite yes; 2 definite no. 1 maybe leaning to me; 1 maybe leaning against and 1 complely unreadable.

Saw "Twelfth Night" at Appalacian (Mandy's school). It was prtty good. some bad parts some good.

I had so much more to say but I forget ; I'll remember later

Watching Twin Peaks. I think Mr Palmer did it. I won't go into detail for those who havnt' seen it.

Books I've read since new years
Dune - 4/5 stars - I finally got the first (I have much of the rest). Pretty damned good. Took a bit to get used to Herbert's writing style. I may rad again before I read the others.
Collected Sherlock Holmes - 3/5 - I just found out it isn't he complete Holmes which it makes it out to be. Good stuff. Some cases are easy to solve before the denoument and others are just out of the blue.
Crystal Lake Memories: Complete History of Friday the 13th: 4.5/5 - amazing. Coffee table book sized tome for a history of the cheeziest movies. But I lov them. For those interested, it is the most detailed, in depth one can get on the subject. Made up via interviews with nearly everyone invovled with the production. check it out.
Watership Down 5/5 - COMPLETLY STUNNING - I didn't know a book about talking rabbits could be so enchanting but it really draws you right in. I found myself drawn in and captured. General Woundwort makes the a great badguy and the action scenes are experly written, full of drama and umpth.
