Friday Standard Cat and Random Ten Post or So

Berit got on one of her up-all-night schedules, and has rehearsal early tomorrow, so she stayed up as long as she could (29 hours or so straight) until crashing - now I have the nice computer so I can do this, while at the same time fixing up some cat photos in Photoshop, printing out out a copy of the cut-down Harry in Love script, and punching holes in the just-printed-out Magnificent Ambersons script.

Yeah, we made a start-of-several-projects run to Staples today for paper, inkjet cartridges, binders, pens, sharpies, notebooks, mechanical pencils and the other supplies we need at this point in great volume. Also got the car's tires rotated and wheels aligned. Good productive stuff.

Oh, and listening to the random ten for Friday on the iPod (22,680 songs):

1. "Be True To Your School" - The Beach Boys - Greatest Hits
2. "Universal" - Blur - The Great Escape
3. "Mrs. Gillespie's Refrigerator" - Sands - Listen to the Sky: The Complete Recordings 1964-1969
4. "Honest With Me" - Bob Dylan - Love & Theft
5. "Once I Had You" - The Carrie Nations - Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
6. "Are You Happy" - Primitive Radio Gods - Rocket
7. "Pleasant Valley Sunday" - Johnny Dresden - New, Clear Music
8. "Danny Boy" - Johnny Cash - Man In Black 1963-69
9. "Suspiria (Main Title)" - Goblin - The Goblin Collection 1975-1989
10. "A Change Is Gonna Come" - Sam Cooke - Portrait Of A Legend 1951-1964

So two other people have joined in (besides Timothy Reynolds) on Ambersons - Walter Brandes as Uncle Jack and Shelley Ray as Lucy, and I'm reading someone for George on Sunday - I have a good feeling about that, too. Still waiting to hear from the Isabel and Aunt Fanny I've asked. Waiting on asking more people as the rest of the group depends on the casting of these first roles. Have to get the rest of the people on Harry In Love, too - currently have Josephine Cashman, Ken Simon, and Walter Brandes (again), need two others. Have good ideas for one person, nothing at all for the other . . .

Last Merry Mount on Sunday - have the understudy for that, which is great. Seeing Bitch Macbeth tomorrow night (finally!). Then things are pretty open for me to get my shows together.

Though I will be directing the Penny Dreadful episode for March. And Berit will be dealing with Aaron Baker's live sitcom at The Battle Ranch, 3800 Elizabeth, and house managing the several weeks of UTC#61 shows at Walkerspace as well as making props for Edward Einhorn's adaptation of Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle playing in those weeks.

So we'll be busy, no question.

Oh, right, almost forgot . . . cat pictures . . . Hooker ponders (on Berit's foot) . . .

Moni ponders (on the couch) . . .

Moni continues to ponder (about the window) while Hooker has come to a decision in his pondering: He wants a belly rub . . .
