Yours truly has been entirely too lax about making with the journal entries this week. Not that a ton o’ stuff has happened here in Philadelphia… the run is progressing well, and audiences are continuing to love the show. I actually went to dinner last night (my night off) at a restaurant called Monk’s on 16th street here in Philly, and my waitress recognized me from the show! How nice is that? Let me tell you friends, there’re few things finer than good food and being recognized by your waiter. I got to have dinner with Dito van Reigersberg – a friend of Maggie Siff’s and an all-around nice guy. I’ve been lucky to make a number of new friends while working here at the Arden, and he’s probably one of my favorites.
Speaking of new friends, good news for my pals Ian Merrill Peakes and Greg Wood – they both have callbacks for a film tomorrow. Here’s wishing them molto good luck! They both deserve it.
So far as I know, Buster’s doing well at Amy’s house. I meant to call and check on them today, but didn’t get around to it. So I’d best do that tomorrow. Hopefully, they’re all getting along well, and I don’t have to worry about them. But of course, I will anyway. I haven’t heard from Gavan in a couple of days, but I’m assuming he’s okay and deep into rehearsals for The Sound of Music at Pittsburgh Musical Theater. If you see him, tell him I said, “hello.”
So far the new computer has been absolutely dreamy! Once again, of course, I have the dilemma of not being able to transfer pictures from the digital camera to the computer, nor can I do online banking in Quicken, nor update my webpage very easily with Adobe PageMill… none of those programs are on the new computer, and the software disks for them are at home in Pittsburgh! I’m waiting for Gavan to mail them to me. Until that package gets here, I’m stuck using Microsoft Word 2000 for my journal entries… let’s just say I prefer PageMill.
Oh, the most outrageous thing happened on stage today… in the middle of one of my monologues, I turned to Kate Norris, who plays “Germaine,” and went to speak to her, and just showered her with spittle. I was SO taken aback and horrified on her behalf by this little pre-spring shower that I nearly started laughing right then and there. I think I can say with certainty that it’s the first time I’ve ever come close to breaking myself onstage. I almost treated the audience to a laughing fit the likes of which they’d never seen, and likely (if they’re lucky) never will.
Anyway, until next time, webfriends, here’s hoping you’re all well, and that life is treating you half so well as I think it’s treating me!
