yep, chipped it down to a hill

… and most of it was done yesterday. Sure, there still is more to go but now it seems more manageable somehow. Bet you thought I was joking about “laboring” this weekend, huh? TALE NEWS Had a good rehearsal last night. Things are clipping along quite well in that arena. The playing style is firming up without the loss of that sense of spontaneity needed to pull it off. I will be the first one …

mr. grumpy pants

I have to admit that I’ve been feeling that way for the past few days. I will also admit that a lot of it has to do with the fact that in all probability I will not go up to the SF Fringe to see my show TALE END play there. It was also a break that I was looking forward to… a bit of respite from my present norm. As Mr. Grumpy Pants I …

the weather has been…

… great the last couple of days. So much so,I decided that we take a “mini pot luck” break at yesterday’s rehearsals. It was one of the few times we could just hang as a company/ There was fresh watermelon and grapes fresh from my garden as well as crackers and cheese courtesy of Dave. And to wash it down some wine and beer. Greg came by for a “gun lesson” and I think it …

I was tuckered out…

… by the time the evening rolled around. A day of web work and meetings (both the face-to-face variety as well as via the phone) really wore me down. I even moved rehearsals an hour later just to give me room to catch my breath. It’s a good thing that we have a crack stage-manager who really handled most of it for me last night. As a small reward we went to the local Baskin …

smashed to a silver…

… but a medal is a medal. I watched the game live on the internet and it was totally one-sided and reports on the game bore that out as well. Still, kudos to Lee for working his way up to the finals and to a Silver… which in itself is nothing to sneeze at. THE DAY I ended up working today. Figured that I’d knock off as much as I could at a leisurely pace. …

nearly there…

… on the computer setup front. Truth be told… I’m already there… just tweaking to my pleasure. Just the way I roll. Now the office is a shambles. LOL. I’ll get it back to a livable space soon. Lots more web/graphics work ahead today… also shooting for a web video promo. An enormous amount actually… and time sensitive at that… but I think if I apply myself and not get too distracted (as I’m wont …

the weekend was filled…

… with work on 3 computers. Restoring 1 that I’m selling. Prepping 1 that will be my primary and setting 1 up to be my editing work station. It all took less time than was anticipated. All I can say is… Thank God for the invention of external hard drives! THE “COOLER HEP” QUOTIENT So on the Beehive the other day there was a post that included this video. Yes, the story happens to be …

earthquake in so cal

It was a 5.4… so, there was a whole lotta shakin going on. I was watching some live coverage via the internet and it is kinda funny when reporters are looking for news… and there really is none… except that the quake did happen. No major devastation or “hero” stories. Though news does travel faster now with the net and some of it is pretty funny. For the most part if you live in California …
