"Get in the truck!"
Another little theater trip this past weekend for me and gmtarkin. BTW, if you can visit Times Square after an evening show in the middle of a snowstorm, it's a pretty cool sight ( Read more... ) -
"And Katie can't stop squeezing the elephant."
OK, that's really odd. As regular readers know, my live journal pic has for lo these many years been a picture of an elephant taken on safari way back in 1999. Now, without my having done anything to my LJ pics, it's been replaced with a totally different picture.

"And I think calling him that is an insult to the psychotic lowlife community."
For an actor whose name people don't usually know, Mark Sheppard sure has been getting a lot of work.
I swear, this guy appears on every drama series I see lately. A few years ago I first noticed him as "Badger" on Firefly, and he then popped up as a terrorist on 24. After he gets offed by another terrorist on that show, he turns up as Romo ( Read more... ) -

"Some god's experiment in which we have no say?"
So, a while ago I wrote a piece of software for the Guild. It was a nifty little program to switch synthesizer patches on the fly, and I've used it to do synth programming for a bunch of shows. I made it open source software, and I've called it Qualm. Mostly it's just been used for Guild shows, although dmrzzz has also used it for A New Brain at the ( Read more... ) -

Best CNN headline ever: "Lost baby whale thinks yacht is mom". -
"...never surrender."
Heard on the Olympics commentary: "And that just goes to show: in diving, you never give up."
Presumably, that's opposed to all those Olympic sports where giving up is just good strategy. -
"We have a very good handyman."
I'll be putting up a post later that may explain the context for this question, but I'm curious as to how the stage managers who read my posts -- both amateur and pro -- might respond in this situation. Actors, directors, and techies should feel free to weigh in as well ( Read more... )
