A new record- yeah, you can figure out what for… So, what to write about. The show whose opening weekend I wrote about closed over a month ago with a record number of seats sold causing them to add a performance when no one objected to it. How about how I am in between shows, and the question of whether or not to try out for the godless JC Superstar was answered for me when I couldn’t sing due to a cold audition weekend? How my right arm hurts from all the shoveling, including some this morning to free the dryer vent so I can take care of some clothes? There was the Tron movie I had a countdown to that I still haven’t seen- is it still in the theaters I wonder? There was our 4th and 5th grade lock-in/retreat two weeks ago. My team came in last place and I didn’t get sick this year. There’s work- nah. Nothing to talk about there. I think one of the owners may still be snowed in. The person who normally does her long driveway took one look at it Wednesday and drove away. She lives in Antioch, an hour north of me. Gaming and my new DSi XL? Dunno. Yes, there’s that first vacation I took in years, outside of the annual summer camp week- the now infamous injurious one for a fellow tangenteer. It was great to get away. Someone mentioned to me how he would just stretch out on a beach over there,but I’m just not that type of person. I enjoy the activity offered at theme parks, talking with friends as we walk from ride to ride. Of course, I still did not like the one extreme go-kart track at Old Town and am not so into activity that I will waste money on the extreme thrill rides there. But what I did do was a nice break, and I did miss an extremely cold work day. Unfortunately I didn’t get out of all those days- this Thursday was pretty bad, and next Tuesday also promises to be brutal.
One day at Universal, I decided I did not want to go on the water ride. Instead, I sat with the two youngest and watched several people take photos at a photo-op spot. Having recently seen the movie starring this certain dog, when Phyllis came back after one ride, I had her take this picture (slightly retouched):
Oh, about comics, I mentioned a particular comic strip while I was in Florida- here is a link to it. It is about a lower middle-class suburban self-important family. Read on by clicking this link. Now I will think about maybe breaking the two month record following this post… 😛
HAHA! Nice picture but you did not have to break the illusion by admitting to the touch up. Still haven’t seen TRON? I’m sure that it is still around… you have a lot more MOVIE theatres than we. The week of vacation was fun. The second week not so fun, but I do think I am recovering. I am able to sit at the desk in a wooden chair.
Guess you were not meant to be in JCS 😉 We all know how much you enjoy the show.
The only retouching was with things that broke the illusion. This was the best picture of the three taken, just needed some adjustment. I also just now copied the word balloon from another pic since it was originally cut off.
I had been considering JCS based on opinions of others I have talked to, and the fact that it is a co-venture between two theatre groups, one that considers itself professional. It would have solidified me somewhat with one group and possibly got me in with another, but not if they heard me sing that weekend. 😆
Just keep improving, J! Hopefully work isn’t making things worse for you…
