OMP stuff
I forgot what I wanted to talk about. I really did... This weekend went well. Very well, actually, I just remembered a lot of what I wanted to talk about.

It doesn't mean much to a lot of people, given TANYS's reputation, but HMS Pinafore took five... Captain Corcoran, Sir Joseph Porter KCB, and Josephine Corcoran, (the actors for their portrayal of the characters, of course) and our musical director and the orchestra. It sort of bolstered our performance, and I think it tipped the audience's expectations a bit too... (In a good way.)

We've had a full house anyway for most of the weekend, including Sunday which is fairly unusual. That's probably due to the Democrat and Chronicle, though, more than the TANYS awards. We were on the front page of D&S'c weekend section, (isn't that a great photo?) and then again we were mentioned in the weekend's list of ten things to do. (We were number two, just under Wynonna Judd... Not too shabby)

All of this means that more people are hearing about us, which is brilliant. Although we don't charge an entry fee, a larger audience means more donations and more snacks and such. Hopefully some of the new people will tell their friends, and return for the next show.

Other stuff
Beyond that, life is pretty boring.

That was great. :) That's not sarcasm, either. We performed brilliantly tonight, and the guy from TANYS watched and the whole audience enjoyed the show. More lively than last night's audience, but I think we performed better too.

I'm going to go to bed now, wake up at 9am, shower, eat breakfast, and have a great day tomorrow. Call is at 12:30, a matinee. I miss you folks whom I haven't seen for a while, but I'm having fun, so you have fun too. :)

I don't really feel like I must have been addicted to MUSHing, it was just something I did while I was bored, and I happened to be bored all the time. I envisioned a challenge with quitting, but there wasn't one really. I'll be back on the 1st, as I said. I was bored today, but I decided to wait and be strong and such.

Ignore the title, it was the openining night. Our co-director is just cool. :P

We did well, I think. The only thing we messed up was I think the Act I finale, and the audience didn't notice anyway.

So, there's one line that I've messed up every time in the past. Instead of 'Well spoke, well spoke,' I kept saying 'Aye aye...' Well, friends, last night I said the correct line! It was great. I stood there and said, 'Well spoke, well spoke.' It was even at the right time. Everything was perfect, but for one thing: Every other member of the chorus--every single one--said 'Aye aye' instead. x_x I just simply can't win.

I downloaded Google Desktop for Linux, which basically is just a fansy 'find' command that goes faster and also searches the web. I also got Picasa, which indexed all of my photos for me and stuff. I'm gonna use Picasa web albums from now on, instead of Photobucket, since Google is infinitely better at everything. Except, apparently blogs.

In case I hadn't already told you, Gayden Wren--playwright: Very Truly Yours, Gilbert and Sullivan and A Gilbert and Sullivan Christmas Carol (He likes Gilbert and Sullivan)--will read my name and see me sing and act in his show at some point in December. He won't be attending, but still... We're recording it, and he's receiving a copy. Neat.

Random thoughts:
I wonder why I have no tag for HMS Pinafore.

You all should get a Facebook account. I NEED TO SEE YOUR FACES.

If nothing else, you should get some IM and log on regularly or something... I prefer Facebook. All of my photos of you are, no doubt, ancient or non-existant. :(
