e_juliana | Attend the tale of Sweeny Todd....

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.
