One of these days I’m going to have to learn to keep my mouth shut. There was a dearth of readily-available SMUDS (Saint Mary’s University Drama Society) photos from way back in the early 2000s, and since I had the yearbooks in question and access to a scanner, I volunteered to take on the task of scanning, editing, and uploading photos ( Read more... )

I never bring my laptop out on the bus, but today I’m making an exception. I’m sitting on Classic #970 now at the Village at Bayer’s Road (as the Route 80), and guess what? Yep, we had a breakdown! (This is twice in one week!) Gah, this is frustrating, especially because I was going home to eat, rest, and I’m tired and hungry, and, etc.. etc.. ( Read more... )

A+. We killed. Tomorrow can be even greater, but we killed tonight. I’m--

INTERJECTION: Well, our new cat, Dexter, just found a mouse. A wee little house mouse. (Aunt Shirley, do NOT click that link!) I would say “caught,” but that would imply some kind of persistent restraint. He was playing catch-and-release with him all over the house, much to ( Read more... )

The bus, I doth hate it. I left the house this afternoon in plenty of time to make a certain run of the 80. It’s a 25-minute walk. I get to the stop, and there’s someone waiting (usually a good sign). Five minutes becomes ten becomes twenty, and at a certain point I come to the conclusion that no matter that I was a few minutes early, the bus was ( Read more... )

- It was an acceptable performance all around. I wouldn't call it a particular standout, but it was probably the best night so far to tape (and, they did tape it!) - things were as stable as much as they were subdued ( Read more... )

We had a pretty good show tonight. It wasn’t perfect, but we were definitely batting in some runs.

Personally, I had a pretty mediocre first act, and this was purely my fault. I confused one entrance with another and walked in on Alli, and we just stared at each other for an awkward few seconds, and then I reacted as if she forgot her line (when ( Read more... )

Up way too late. Just made a Facebook group for Twelfth Night. We’ll see how that goes. I was inspired to do it while standing at the bus stop tonight. I was feeling great, so so great! Oh, and on the bus I met someone who was studying a Scottish Gaelic grammar book! Well! We had a great conversation - in English, of course: my Gaelic-learning days ( Read more... )

Today is the first day I’ve brought a modern laptop to a class. (I once dragged my old 386 to Intro Computer Science to run Turbo C++ in MS-DOS to try out little code snippets while the prof. ran Visual C++ on Windows 2000.) I’m really impressed with the battery life, especially for a large-ish 15” notebook - there was almost 20% still remaining, ( Read more... )
