Saturday


Thought Number One
Why why why why why why WHY on my sleep-in day do I wake up at 5:30 am? I don't ever seem to manage to wake up at 5:30 am when I have to go to work, so why does my body zap itself to consciousness on a day when it doesn't matter?

Thought Number Two
There is a news story this morning about some guy who escaped the from the 7th floor of some sort of prison facility by tying bedsheets together. A bedsheet rope? I can't believe this kind of stuff happens. How does a prisoner get enough sheets to make a seven story rope? "Warden? I'm really, really cold. Could I have another 4 or 5 sheets? Yes, just for tonight. No, I don't think I'll need them tomorrow..." I mean, really. Somebody deserves a Homer "DOH" award.

Thought Number Three
Today. Today TinyTuna returns to community theatre to audition for play number three. Thankfully, there are no cats in this play. This time it's a dog. The next show? Annie. I dread this audition with every fiber of my being. There are going to be a kajillion little girls there all wanting to be Annie. I'll have the song Tomorrow coming out of my ears.

Dear God,
Annie auditions are today. I'm begging you with everything
I have...Please let this audition not be the chaos I fear. Let
all the kabillion of Annie-hopefuls do their very best and still
somehow finish within the two-hour scheduled time period.
Yes, heh. I know it's funny. Please stop laughing. Ok. Ok,
that's enough. Heehee. No, no, they never learn. Anyway,
I know it will take a miracle to get hundreds of girls through
a three part audition, but we both know you're up to the task.
I'm desperate to salvage a scrap of my good weather Saturday.
I'd mow the lawn. With shoes, even. Thanks for your help.

Of course, and then there are auditions tomorrow too. And call backs tomorrow night. Flush. There goes my weekend right down the crapper. Theoretically it will be all over and decided by Monday afternoon. I'll keep you posted.
