Things on...Friday?

I think I'm allowed to cheat a little.

Good things:

1) I don't work any more this week, which is a great relief after working 9 days in a row for 4-9 hours at a time.  I'm going to go out to the mall later today and buy myself something nice, maybe a Charlotte Russe corset.

2) I found two nice lamps at a garage sale this morning; one goose-neck floor lamp with five bulbs and one paper-sided table lamp with a nice wood frame.  I've been looking for lamps of both types, so that was a serendipitous thing.

3) Paul and I (and possibly Natascha and/or Sarah) are going to a concert on Sunday which will include An Horse, for the low, low price of $10.

4) Mom and Dad are going to St. Louis tonight and won't be back until tomorrow afternoon sometime, so Janna and I are going to make the most of our newest Blockbuster plan, pick up some goodies at the store, and veg out watching movies until the wee hours.

5) I finally found out who that guy was who played Dr. Scott so well back in April, and have his e-mail address.

Bad things:

1) The Rocky Horror cast is proving to be much more complicated than last year, for the following reasons:

           a) Several of last year's cast members are either no longer interested or temporarily unable to take part, which means we've had to find substitutes.  We've found parts for everyone but Dr. Scott, but it's kind of a long shot whether he'll even respond to my e-mail.

           b) At least half of the cast members are going to be out of town for large chunks of the summer, including me, and so far no one has stepped up to lessen my burden.  In fact, so far, I'm the only one who's really done any sort of concrete planning for rehearsals.

           c) I've been sending out messages to which people are either responding several days to a week later, or not responding at all.  I NEED COMMUNICATION TO MAKE THIS WORK.

           d) I will be completely absent from cast matters for the last week before the show, since I have to be back at school a week beforehand to work on the desk staff.  Cat's offered to transport me here and back over that weekend, but it's going to be grueling.

...Annnnnd that's pretty much it for now.
