Ah, you know how it can be some weeks... seems like you're just living the same day over and over and over, with nothing new, nothing exciting, nothing noteworthy.
That's been the existance here in Manhattan Kansas for the last couple of weeks. It's just been the basic daily grind of going to work, coming home, going to bed, getting up, going to work. Some days it seems like I'm doing a lot and not accomplishing anything, and other days it seems like I'm not doing anything at all.
Mostly I'm bored. I'm ready for wifey to come home, that's for sure. It's another three weeks until her summer gig ends, and those three weeks can't pass quickly enough. I've had enough TV dinners in the last couple weeks to last a lifetime. (By the way... I've discovered a fondness for the brownies in the "Hungry Man" dinners. Very good with a scoop of ice cream.)
Lets see... the cat is doing much better these days. That eyelid problem seems to have cleared up, and he's looking almost normal. His pupil in the affected eye is still not responding in co-ordination with the "good" eye, so I don't think we're quite out of the water yet, but the improvement has been very encouraging after the misery a couple weeks ago. He seems to regard me as his friend again these days, and doesn't seem to stay angry with me after our little "medication rituals." Yesterday he was chasing a scrap of paper across the floor, which is a really good sign out of a 10 year old cat. Of course, with the atropine in his eye (to keep the pupil dilated) I wonder if he's not seeing things with a bit of an aura around them. For all I know he's stoned off the stuff. If it weren't for the excessive drooling associated with the atropine, I'd be tempted to try it myself. (no, not really.)
Getting set for the Fall semester... it will be buisy again but not the insanity of last spring. I've decided to let my job as Scene Shop Supervisor go... too many sticks in the fire and along with wifey's input, we decided school was the priority. Still, with a class load that includes playwriting, directing, dramatic structure and biology, there will be no shortage of demands on my time. Of course, like an idiot I forgot to order my football tickets on line, so now I'll be lucky to see the Huskers come down here and play, but since my dad managed to get season tickets in the new expansion of Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, I might get to see a couple Husker home games.
Not a ton of stuff other than that... we have Renaissance gigs coming up in late August and through the month of September, so right now it's just rehearsals when we get a chance and a little script development. I've been doing a lot of research into the actual phenomina of pirate mock trials (something they actually did for fun) and the methods pirates used to maintain justice on their own ships... which is pretty fascinating actually. They appointed judges, advocates and juries (the accused was allowed to select jury members) and with luck, the research will lead to a new set of stage shows. If anything, I'll never let MOPO become stagnant. New material every year until we've got so much we can't remember it all. (Which some might argue has happened already... LOL)
That's it for now. Ta!
