Summer nears the end... already...
Do you realize there is only a little more then four months left before Christmas? Crazy!!!
So, went to Lac St-Jean two weeks ago. I had taken the Friday off and headed out there with Daniel after work on the Thursday. We spent Saturday soaking up the sun at the beach and partied at our friends bar until 3:00am. Then of course we went out for poutine, so we got to bed at around 5:00am... the sun was coming up. We spent Saturday touring the historical village and climbing the 742 steps up the waterfall. Fantastic pictures! Went back to the bar that night, but didn't stay out too, too late. I think we were in bed by 1:00am. Sunday well, we just packed up everything and drove home.
So, the week of the show was... well, horrible. I missed the Sunday rehearsal because I was away in Lac St-Jean. Monday, we were suppose to get our first A to Z run through with the live band. Half the lighting equipment wasn't completed, and we were missing most of the sound equipment. The band was practising together for the FIRST time! So us actors pretty much sat on our butts until 11:00pm.
Tuesday was suppose to be Tech rehearsal. I showed up early so we could do a quick run through before rehearsal. Nothing was ready, half the equipment still wasn't working... so guess what. Us actors sat on our butts until 11:00pm.
Wednesday, suppose to be dress rehearsal. Keep in mind we haven't even had a full run through yet... I showed up early again so I could help with a quick tech run before rehearsal. They were having major sound issues, and most of the main cast was drinking and smoking on stage. We sat on our butts until 10:30pm. We finally did a dress rehearsal, people were getting angry, lights weren't where they were suppose to be, head microphones only half worked... I left the Theatre at 12:30am. It was POURING rain outside and I had no umbrella. I arrived at Daniel's place at 1:00am, soaking wet and burst into tears. I didn't want to be in the show anymore, I was too embarrassed and upset.
Thursday, opening night, I had six people coming to the show. Someway, somehow, they got they're fingers out of their asses and got the show on the run. We still had a few minor glitches, but other wise, the show went REALLY well. Friday was my big night, had over twenty people coming to see the show, including a couple of friends from Ottawa, my parent's, my brother and my aunt Jo. Again, the show went really well (although Dr. Scott's mic didn't work... damn it). We went out for a couple of drinks afterwards. Saturday was the last night, and I wasn't too unhappy about it. The show went off without too many glitches, ad that was that. My parent's, brother, aunt and Daniel came to join me afterwards and we went for a beer.
This past weekend was fun, although a little tiring with all the driving... We left as soon as I was done work on Friday. We took the miata and drove out to Kitchener. We finally arrived at around 11:30pm... Had a beer with Daniel's "sister" and her boyfriend, chatted and got to bed around 1:00am. Saturday we went to Canada's Wonderland. Yay, I love being a kid! We did all the big rides, no one got sick, and it was a lot of fun. We left the park at around 8:30, got back to their house and bbq'd some hamburgers. Had those for a late dinner with a beer. Then... the fun begins. We opened a bottle of red wine while playing cards... and then another bottle... and then another... we emptied four bottles of red wine between the four of us. Man was I drunk! We laughed our asses off though... I sat on the couch at one point and the kitchen was spinning in front of me. I closed my eyes, and that was it... Daniel took me to bed and I went straight to sleep (it must have been around 3:00am).
The next morning though... oh my god! Hand't been THIS hungover since I don't remember when... I had to sit back down cause I broke into a cold sweat! Managed to take a hot shower and eat some breakfast, felt much better after that. Then we hit the road around 1:30 and drove back to Montreal... I'm still tired...
A week and a half and I'll be off for ten days. I have Valerie's "White Trash" theme birthday party on the 26th, and then a birthday dinner on the 27th. Daniel and I have decided to take a road trip for our vacation. We'll take off in the miata Monday morning and drive out to Old Orchard or somthing like that. Enjoy the beach for a couple of days, and then drive back up as far east as we can towards New Brunswick, and on Thursday or something like that we'll turn around and head home. Should be fun.
Then, in September I'm looking at taking an info weekend session at the massage therapy school I want to go to. My friend Danielle is coming down for a weekend as well, I can't wait, we're gonna have so much fun! Then it's Daniel's birthday and then... we'll see when we get there.
Phew... that's about all for now. I think it's enough, don't you?
