Pre-holiday randomness
I've got just a jumble of not-really-connecting thoughts flying through my head right now, so here's another bulleted list for you.
- So, I went to Best Buy today and finished off my Buffy and Gilmore Girls collections. They have great sales, and I couldn't help myself. I don't often splurge like this, and I'm worth it, dammit.
- I think tomorrow I have brunch plans with katelennon and queeberquabbler . It should be fun. And maybe one or both of them would be willing to help me run lines afterwards. *bats eyelashes*
- Otherwise tomorrow is going to be spent being absolutely lazy. It's been an odd week for me. I've been tired all day, but then by the time night comes, I'm awake. I wonder if Dracula's been visiting me at night. But tomorrow I'm going to sleep in a bit so that I can hopefully feel all refreshed. Or at least not like a damn zombie.
- We had a line-through tonight because apparently most of us are still having trouble with lines. My mind wasn't into Fezziwig during one scene because I completely blanked out. I got the first word right and then poof. All words vanished from my head. And now our director decided that in the next scene after Fezziwig is naively trusting and gives Scrooge his books because of his financial difficulties, that Marley should sort of mock Fezziwig. *pouts* I kind of want to burst into the scene yelling, "YOU ASSHOLE!!!" to Marley, but it's not in the script, so I can't. Of course, it's really easy to mock Fezziwig. He has an absolutely ridiculous voice.
- Also, at the end of the play Scrooge gives Fred (me again) a kiss. So at the end of the line through tonight the guy that plays Scrooge was all flirty, and I gave it right back to him. I'm tempted to try to throw a little subtext in there that Fred really wants Scrooge. Fred did know Scrooge from the old days, and probably saw him waste his life being with Marley, especially after Marley started partying and fucking around more and more. I don't know. I might play with it a little and see what the director says. If he tells me to back off, I will. But I think it would be fun. Plus, I'm a fan of triangles. I watch soaps, after all. If I didn't like triangles, I don't think I'd like soaps quite so much.
- Good Lord, do I talk a lot about my play. You must all be sick of hearing about it. But it has become my life. And it's better than being bitchy about work. I like having something else to focus on besides work. All work and no play makes me a dull boy. I would like to get more play, though, if you know what I mean.
- I am so happy to have tomorrow off. It's already felt like a full week. It does suck that I have to work on Friday, but what can you do? I'm taking off a week and a half between Christmas and New Year's, so I figured I should suck it up this week. Plus, I'm trying to save as much vacation as I can for next July. My sister's getting married then!
