Ah life in the past couple weeks...Hmm. Been really busy. I went out with Tasha the other night...sadly, she has now moved back to PA, never to return to FL again. But we went to Tabu again and had a great time. Evan (remember Evan? from Electra) and Wil (used to be the crazy religious headphones guy on campus) were there...she's kept them close. They've changed a lot...well, Wil has. He's a crazy not-so-religious S&M freak who went home with the bartender's phone number. HAH. I was impressed.
Still dealing with work...don't know about the Nautilus SM position yet and I hope I freaking find out soon because this is my last week as the seasonal SM. Next week I go back to Stagehands and don't want to! Gr! Hopefully I'll know before the end of the week.
I'm still obsessed with Warcraft. That's kind of why I'm updating...the servers are down due to maintenance and I have nothing else to do now...lol. It's been fun. I've started a character on my bro-in-law and nephew's server, so once I level up a bit more, I'll be able to play with them which will be fun.
I've been going to rehearsals like crazy for Fab Follies. OMG. Such drama. So, this one woman, NolaRae, thinks she is the ultimate DIVA. She was given the solo of Cabaret but it isn't the full 5 minute version of the song. It's been chopped down to 1m30s. Take what you can get right? She's in all the dance numbers(a big deal in this group) and she has ANOTHER solo in the first act. Well, as we all know, when a actress is given a solo, she still must adhere to the directions of the DIRECTOR or Choreographer. Well, she's already pissed off that her song was cut in half..."how can I tell the story of Elsie in the song if I can't have the entire thing?! Liza Minelli got to sing the whole thing!" You're not fucking Liza Minelli...get over it. So, the director told her that to sing her song, she needs to enter on from SL, so that she can get the mic from the previous soloist who just exited that way. She's been told this multiple times but she wants to enter from CS. Not possible given everything else that's going on in the scene. Just not possible. Well, she entered CS again despite direction and the director/choreographer stopped her and said "NolaRae, you are to enter from SL!" NolaRae freaked out and stormed offstage screaming "I don't get to do anything I fucking want to do with this song! Just give me that one thing! It's not a problem for me to enter CS, and I want to!" She slammed down the mic that she was using and just planted her ass in a chair offstage and fumed. I was working the CD player and the director just calmly said, "This will not interupt our rehearsal. Next song please...Debra." And I started the next song. Well, she has now been issued a letter that says "NolaRae, you actions will not be tolerated. I expect a full spoken apologize to myself and the entire company at Tuesday's rehearsal or else we will be reevaluating your position here." So, today is that rehearsal...we'll see if she apologizes. I don't know...
The bigger problem with this..well, not problem...good riddenance...is that her husband is the main tech guy. I'm assuming that if she walks or is kicked out, he's gone too. I don't mind, I'm doing everything anyway and he's a fucking moron. Ex Sgt Major Stu. Heh. I hope he leaves...but it leaves us a little short backstage. Anyone willing to help out? First performance Oct 27-29. The 27 is a tech rehearsal and if you can't make it to that(it's a Friday), I have perfect confidence that any one of you could take direction from me on the fly (heh...I think I've SMed over just about everyone of you reading this...haha) :) Let me know...please...I'm a little desperate. You'll definitely get free food out of it..lol
