Long boring week
Although with such a long boring week, you'd think I would post more. Sorry.
With the current heat wave, I've been less motivated to get out and do stuff outside, and Wife is pressuring me to stay in also. Although, I'm thinking about going out tomorrow night to a 'Friday Night Game Night' that a Myspace friend told me about. I mentioned it to Wife and it may even be that she'd come with me. hmmm. not my original plan, but it could work. I'll take Scrabble and Backgammon, games that are common and easy to transport (it's the travel scrabble edition, foldable board holds the tiles and racks and bag inside).
Haven't heard from S in almost two weeks. She's dealing with a real job, no money, and a boyfriend, so no real opportunity to go out. Soon I hope. I miss seeing my friends.
It's also now August, so I can start posting pics to Flickr again. I'm still on the free account, so I'm limited to how much I can post a month, and I shot my wad on the HUGE show shots at the start of July. Now I know to edit the shots down to a reasonable size before I post them.
I've gotten word that I'm starting back to work on Monday. Where did the summer go. Oh yeah, I worked most of it. The good thing is that I've gotten all the scripts for next season already. I even got an original Oliver script, one that says "Do not mark or deface in any way or we'll hunt you down and kill your children". Yeah, I'll make a copy, even though I have no children for them to hunt down. It's also official, we're getting the Troll back to direct it, Christie Montour-Larson, who did Joseph's Stupid Coat for us a few years ago. Well, at least she's good, and will have strong ideas about the show that aren't based on a whim or a movie version. Too bad her personality is so abrasive. Better than Boss I guess.
We plucked the first cherry tomatoes off our plants last night. Mmmm good. Now we just have to let the rest of them catch up. Mmmm catsup. (NO. Its too much work for that little payoff. Unless we get people to donate extra tomatoes later in the season, then I'll think about it. But it's a full day of using the stove; either blanching, or boiling, or sterilizing jars.)
Wife found DVDs for sale on EBay of two classic cancelled series, When Things Were Rotten (from the 7o's, starring Dick Gautier as Robin Hood, Dick vanPatten as Friar Tuck, Mel Brooks created. Funny, pun-based take on Robin Hood, precurser to Men in Tights, I think.), and Covington Cross (Nigel Terry and Cherie Lunghi from Excalibur, Chris Quinn and Ione Skye, star in medieval castle family drama). Both shows lasted less than a full season but were fun to watch in their own way. Turns out the guy taped them off the TV and burned them to DVD. Hmmm just a little illegal? No attempt to disguise the fact of what they are, not even lables on the disks, only 1, 2, 3 written on them in sharpie. Box lables are bad scans of the artwork, and badly inkjetted. So that's kept us busy this week, that, and the fact that Wife just got Digital cable installed. So now we have BBC America and Fine Living, and G4, the video game channel, and a butt-load of sports and MTV/VH1 channels. However, on one of the sport channels, they were covering the Rockford Riverhawks at the Washington WildOnes (Frontier League) baseball game! Cool! Perhaps that'll be a regular occurance.
Well, I guess that's enough for now. I'm in at work teching the last Kids Drama School show. Yes, School House Rock Live, Junior, again. But that ended an hour ago and I want to get to the library. Maybe Hot Dog Guy for lunch.
