Not a bad show last night, considering the fact that I nearly had my leg broken during a scene change. I had moved one of the walls and was ready to go to the cabin to sing when Elizabeth (dear, dear Elizabeth!!) put a bench directly in my path. I tried dodging, but there was no room. I ended up banging up my left shin pretty good, thanks to that little brat.

My cannnon went off, which was good. Mike Tuten may have broken his toe, which is bad. We had to go on rain pace during Indian Country. Diona's not coming to see the show (dying grandmother). Kathy managed to attract another spider. Two shows to go.

Yesterday was just a terrible day for me all around. I twisted my ankle TWICE while going down the hill. The cannon didn't go off AGAIN. I got a cinder in my eye during the battle. But none of that is more important than this.

While talking to my brother Phil yesterday, I found out that my dad had a heart incident Tuesday. He is supposed to go through testing today to determine just what it was, but I was worried all through the show. I have to admit, I was generally off my game yesterday, although the "FABD" scene kicked ass. It got the first applause I remember hearing after that scene ever.

On the brighter side, we did get another standing ovation, and I found my leather jacket that had been missing since Actor's Nightmare. I'm thinking of having it bronzed, since its disappearance had led to my union with Kathy. :)

My first posting as a 35-year old. Feels kinda strange saying that. Last night's show was... ehhh. I blanked during the "Fire and Be Damned" scene, and my cannon misfired yet again, so it was just fun fun fun for me. On the other hand, we got out 14th standing O of the night, so it turned out all right. We had several people from From This Day Forward here, as well as a reporter from some theatre magazine who was doing a story on outdoor dramas.

My birthday was all right. Kathy took me out to dinner at the Grapevine and treated me to a gyro and baklave for dessert. She also gave me several guitar accessories. I just hope my parents give me a guitar to go with it. After Horn, Kathy and I went to the Black Cat to hear some jazz. I have to say she looked absolutely beautiful last night. :)

Final improv show is tonight. I'm hoping this'll be the best one yet. Four shows to go.

Last night's show was nothing spectacular (except for my cannon misfiring AGAIN!). The most interesting thing about it was after, when we rehearsed Alex into the "Fire and be Damned" scene. The quartets also had their final turns in the house and town (at least in their proper arrangements. Because of Jenny Cole's principal role, and my appearance in FABD, the two of us will continue to be on the town this week, while David C. and Kathy join us.

Three words: chocolate flavored lipstick.
