whoops, I haven't blogged in almost a week, not much has happened. the computer got a virus, which it still has, can seem to shake it, its worse on my roommate's account, so, I think its an internet explorer thing, I use fire fox.... I might have to actually pay for protection.... er.... but I am not giving up yet.
I joined bleeping computer, so I might get help there, or learn more about this poop. boo. but learning is good, bleeping computer has a bunch of tutorials and things on how to find out what programs are vulnerable to this sort of thing.
um, other than that, life is well life.
The theatre seems less stressed out, and more in control than before, and rumor has it they are current with pension, benefits and union dues. I haven't check with anyone on the IA international benefits plan to make sure if this is true, (they have an online account they can check) but they say its true.
uh, Scarlet Letter will not be extended until the 12th, it will close on the 5th, its a good show, but not spectacular, and its unfortunate. So in consequence we will have two weeks on contract after the show closes, I might be the only one, but I do not have two weeks of work to do at the end of the season, so.... not sure WTF I am going to do. I might have to go to work and work on other peoples projects, yuck.
I can't think of anything else to report.

Crickets chirped on my phone
but I was standing under an awning in downtown catching up with a friend, He is on the clean up crew of The Lieutenant of Inishmore at ACT, I sort of want to see it, it sounds super gory, but since I know how they do it, and I deal with fake blood all the time on my own play... but then again its a gory play with a clean up crew!
So, the above is my excuse for why I didn't update at 5:30, I haven't much to say, except I went to the library on the dinner break, and bought some cool stuff at the Library gift store, then I got dinner, followed by talking to stagehand friend, then Walgreens... the stopping at Walgreens was controversial when I got back to the theatre, but there was no Labor Dispute at the downtown one, I should really talk to one of the protesters, because maybe I will agree, or maybe I will think they are crazy. Don't know. Speaking of Labor and crazy, had an up in arms moment about them hiring an out of town stage manager for Kate's show this summer, Hiring people from out of town to work for extended periods costs about $1,000 a month, as we have to house them, sometimes you have to do this for actors, if what you are looking for is specific, often its a problem for African American actors because there is not enough work for them here..... er... anyway, theatres ALWAYS blame cost over runs on Labor, and we always are aware of it and are on the defensive.
I was going to make this post a Cat post.... its it too late?
okay, cat trama... fatty cat who was on a raw food diet (Bovine) (I am aware we are probably to blame for her fatness by naming her Bovine), learned to jump the the top of the bookcase where the free flowing kibble was, and she stopped eating her good for her food. Just to be clear though, I do not feed the other cats crap food, I feed them BG (before grain), I don't think the problem is really the kibble, its just she over eats and gets an intestinal imbalance or something, and its... um... bad for the person cleaning the litter box... ie... me. In the past too, its escalated into something that required veterinary assistance, so, it was annoying that she figured out how to get on the bookcase. At first I thought just the act of jumping up there would be a little self regulating, Bovine does not like all 4 feet to be in the air at the same time, she is a little afraid of jumping, but getting what the other cats get was worth it.... I guess. It took about 3 weeks before it started to get bad, so, now all the cats are on a strict diet, because there is no place I can give them food. I don't think this is the idle situation, she was losing weight on the raw food, but its been hard to get the other ones on board with this, plus Pat is afraid to starve her, he thinks a diet is no kibble all the time, but if she asks she can have a big helping. is the answer meal times, I don't know...
On another note, Trixie and I were playing with a glow bracelet, when she bit though it.... the insides taste terrible! and bits of my sheets and carpet glowed for a bit... and also, well, also my cat had some glowing spots as well, they say the insides are non-toxic... I hope that's true.

Long time?
So, three times a week an alarm goes off so I can update the blog, Sabine even made me a google calendar so I would blog Monday mornings... And yet...
So, after the radiation oncology appointment on the 13th I am considered cured, by them at least, I don't feel as if this is over, so it's hard to be optimistic about it. Maybe because everything happens so quickly and at such a high state of panic then it just peters out? So, I am trying to redo my diet and lifestyle, and try not to worry about it.
The tamoxifen report is it makes me suddenly sweaty not sure if it's a hot flash or anything, but only side effect so far.
Um, I can partially blame the load in week and tech weeks on my lack of worthwhile info, but now Doctor in spite of himself is over, and scarlet letter is open. The tech of scarlet letter was not pleasant, and I'll be having some things to say at my review. But it's open now, and it's not too bad to run, the reviews are not fantastic, pretty much how the cast feels, it's pretty but shallow. But it's short. Hard to tell if it will be extended or not, we are scheduled through to Dec 5, but could go to the 12th, our contract is through the 17th, but I wonder if we don't extend if we are off a week early, vacation is good but so is money. Not sure what to hope for.
Speaking of vacation, I'm seriously thinking about new years eve, and a California visit, and all that this entails. I don't want to be gone very long but I do want to see my dad, Paul, and the party. Plus I want to be back here for my birthday and not be poor.
For my birthday, I think I am going to the girl spa, since my good friends Tori and Lauren will Not be pregnant at the same time and be unable to go. Like last year. I know you guys did it on purpose.
On a sadder note, the Intiman is in some financial trouble, no one is super sure what's going on there, but it's not good, a few years ago, we stopped talking about our deficit, but apparently that does not make it go away, and now it seems we are a bit hand to mouth. Of course we are all just fruity liberals so we do not deserve any funding, but more people will see live theater in a year than will see a live sporting event. Plus it supports a lot of people, engenders community and dialog. But I imagine it's like the meat and sugar subsidies while we pay full price for vegetables.
What's a blog post without a soapbox, eh?
Other things, I had a massage scheduled for today but it got cancelled, rescheduled to monday. It will be my first massage in almost 20 years. I have been over compensating with my right shoulder for the slight decrease in flexibility I still have post mastectomy. It's annoying.
Okay, the alarm will go off tomorrow at 530, I'll be at the library, so, we will see.
