i'm draining phlegm

hallelujah.

nothing like a spring cold to suck the words out of you. felt bad enough yesterday that i didn't go to rehearsal (that and i thought it a bad idea to infect the rest of the cast). needed a night to rest, which seemed to work, since i felt better today, though still not completely over it. and i need to be heading to bed so i don't make it worse again. but wanted to stop by and say hey.

we ran the whole show tonight. seems early to be doing so, but then i can't remember my previous experiences, so i don't know if running the show a month out is normal or not. guess it depends on the group. no major trainwrecks - some timing issues with dialogue and the music. i screwed up my scene with belle - couldn't follow the timing in the music. i'm sure i'll get a note about it. at least. oh, and it turns out i'm not a corkscrew after all. i'm an egg beater. also discovered that there was a snafu with the costumes and the corkscrew and the egg beater weren't ordered. so we're making those. maybe i'll get to keep it after its over...though why i would do that i have no idea.

find of the week: went to half price books over in colerain and they had a dvd copy of the original cast production of Into the Woods. i had (possibly still have?) a copy i taped off PBS back in college that i wore out watching. not sure how it ended up at half price books - who gets rid of that kind of thing? - but i'm certainly glad it did. one of my favorite musicals. maybe someday i'll get to be a part of a production. who knows.

there are other things i could share, but wisdom says sleep is more important when you're trying to recover from a cold. need to go take my shot of nyquill and hope it lets me sleep through the night. we'll see if i can't post something else tomorrow after house church - we moved to thursdays to accommodate my B&B schedule. the joys of small church. night.
