Day off. Made the trip back to Pittsburgh, and not all that happy about it. Gavan's had it with my dog, and apparently can't take him anymore, so I've had to come home and find someone to shelter my dog while I'm out of town. Amy Hartman has agreed to look after him. Thank god I can count on her.
It's nice to be home too, since I can use The Mother Ship. That's what I call the computer at home, which is light years beyond The Shuttlecraft - yes, you guessed it: my pet name for the laptop. It's a perfectly lovely laptop, but it just happens to be four or five years old, and sorta pales in comparison to The Mother Ship. So since I'm on a computer that can actually read these new CD-R discs, I'm taking advantage and posting some of the Philly pics that I wasn't able to do while I was there.
Wanna see something funny? Check this out. Here are some pictures of me before and after I got my Einstein makeover....
Believe me when I tell you, I'm looking forward to getting my hair cut and taking off that stupid mustache. The good news is that I've lost 5 pounds from all the biking around Philadelphia that I've been doing. So that's good.
Here're a couple of shots that I hadn't been able to share before... First up, it's a silly picture of Ben Lloyd, who's playing "Sagot" in the show... this was snapped the day of director Aaron Posner's birthday, when the office staff brough him a box of chocolates. Ben decided to do his fly imitation of The Fly and pose for the camera... I'm not sure if Karma came back to bite him in the ass or not, but a week or two later he was suffering from Pink Eye courtesy of his two-year old son, Griffen. Your guess is as good as mine.
Here's a better shot of Kate Norris, who's playing "Germaine" in the show. I'm sure by now you're sick of me telling you what a cool roommate she is. So I won't. Just check out her picture.
One last quick picture: Here's my new friend Maggie Siff, who's playing three roles in the play... essentially the groupies of all the "geniuses." I caught her as she reclined in the green room... you half expect her to start singing "Peel Me a Grape."
Oh, I forgot! I've finally had enough of dealing with how slow The Shuttlecraft has gotten after all these years (it is, as I've mentioned, at least four years old - which in computer years is something like 20), so I ordered a new laptop to use when I'm away from home. Since I've been very pleased with the peformance of The Mother Ship, I've gotten a Compaq Presario 1800. And, joy of joys, it has one of those new CD-R/DVD ROM drives! So I'll be able to burn my own CDs and watch DVD movies while on the road. Believe you me, I'm one happy techno-geek right now. It should arrive at the theater in Philadelphia at about the time I do tomorrow! Whoo hoo! I'm looking forward to not having to wait five minutes while it boots up. I'm sure we'll keep the old laptop, as Gavan will need something when I'm traveling and he's traveling... 'cuz you know I'm not giving up my new laptop if I'm going away! I'll let you know how it turns out.
