Attend the tale of Sweeny Todd....

[e_juliana]

It seems many people have been watching the Demon Barber lately, including myself. A friend and I went to see the Bloomington Civic Theatre's production of it, because Carl was starring as Sweeny. It was actually a decent production, with a fairly strong chorus (always a crapshoot in a community theater show). Carl was good, if 20 years too young. I tell you, once he hits 40, he could move to New York or LA and get many many gigs as That Actor. You know, that one that you see all the time? Yeah, him.


In other news, I return to work half-days on Monday, we audition Richard III tomorrow through Tuesday, and we opened Inherit The Wind on Friday. And now, time for an ad:

Minneapolis-area folks! Please come see Inherit The Wind!! We run through the 18th, with a pay-what-you-will performance on Monday the 13th. (If you're broke and can't afford the $15, drop me a line and we'll see if we can work something out.) Check out the new and improved website at fiftyfootpenguin.org. You can even buy tickets online. Thanks!!


Regarding my accident and recuperation, I am healing decently. The swelling is almost all gone, the bruises are mostly faded, and one stitch remains in my mouth. I am still showing signs of post-concussive disorder, which is annoying in the very least (and frightening on the bad days). There is a possibility of nerve damage, but that won't be able to be diagnosed until at least three months after the accident. I haven't been able to wean myself off of the Percocet yet, and am having a bit of a relapse this evening. I just pushed myself a little hard this past week, trying to open Inherit up, and overdid it. Nothing a pill and some rest can't fix. Again, thank you all so much for your love and support. And a huge extra smooch to stephl for the dancing banana card. Hee!

Now to sleep, perchance to dream. Actually, on the Percocet? Dreaming is pretty much guaranteed. Odd drug. G'night.

Once of these days I'm going to get the opportunity to design a production of Sweeney Todd. I adore that show.

OK, sweetie, keep your eyes open for a largeish bubblebad toward the end of this coming week. And come back to the treehouse to check in, please; we're missing you. New Members folder.

Missing you. So glad you're well enough to post and sorry you overdid it today. I'm sending lots of good healing vibes to you. Take care of yourself. You're the only Juliana I have!

Heh. So it didn't piss you off? That just cracked me up -- I stood in the card aisle wondering "Can the greeting-card people really say 'piss' in a card?!?"

As for the percocet, the easiest way to wean off of it (and I say this having gone through actual junkie-level withdrawal from stopping percocet cold turkey, and it was horrible) is to just cut your dosage in half, take that for a few days, and then cut that in half, take that for a few days, etc. And be like a junkie -- drink a LOT of water.

But also, don't stop taking it before you need to, because poorly-controlled pain is traumatic to the body, and you don't need any more stress on your body, K?

I'm very glad to hear life is getting closer to "normal" for you. Head injuries can be a bad, bad thing.

And making it to Minneapolis for a play that either you are in or you recommend is on my list of "things to do when I get a life." Really. Too many things to do and not enough time.

Get better soon, sweets. Re: nerve damage, is your face numb? After a surgery repair an orbital fracture, my cheek was numb for about 8 months. Feeling finally came back.
