I stay untouchable like my name's Eliot Ness

Last night was my first night working with this guy on this project at the Des Moines Playhouse. I am running the sound board (I hit play on a cd player and adjust levels, actually). While pressing play and messing with a couple of buttons may not qualify as rocket science, I still lack the ability to read minds. The most frustrating incident came when we were running the second act. We were running a sequence with the lights and sound and the Actor wasn't making his cross at the right moment, so we ran it two or three times, tops. The director said something (I couldn't hear all the way up in the booth), but I just happened to hear Michael's response - "Well, SHE finally got the sound cue right!" I will admit to being a bit hurt. I am a volunteer for this and this also marks my first time of seeing the script. I guess the saying "You get what you pay for" is true after all.

Now for some randomness: I like the show Starved alot, but am mixed on Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Steve Carell's appearance on The Daily Show was one of the greatest things I have seen on television - EVER - and I will see this stat. I need a new icon. Bret Easton Ellis was just on The Today Show and it made me pretty happy. 98% of the people I know are getting married - did I miss something, or is everyone doing it to spite me? I'm going with spite on this one.
