So, yesterday I got into work at 11.30a.
Was this because I overslept? Nope, it was plumber time!

He came in, puttered around under my sink for about half an hour or 45 minutes, asked for a dustpan to clean up after himself, explained that he had had to re-cement two pipes together and that fortunately he didn't have to pull out the whole sink, apologized for taking so long, went upstairs to Cynthia, apologized for the (extremely reasonable) price, and left.

Presumably to go back to fairy land, or possibly to his home planet, since nice, polite, neat, conscientious, inexpensive, and apologetic plumbers do not exist in this dimension!

Anyone in Jersey who wants a recommendation, ask me, 'cause I'm keeping his card! I may well frame it...

After work I rehearsed my other one-act in the Christmas show.

Easier said than done, to start with, 'cause I got lost on my way to Debby's apartment! Look, I've only lived in New York for 16 years, what the hell do you expect? Get off my back!

I had to go to the 80's on the West Side, and the address would have been between Fifth and Sixth were the apartment further downtown, but up past 62nd or whatever, Central Park changes everything, and I forgot about it, so I went east first before realizing that I did not, in fact, want to go east, so I walked back to 7th Ave., jumped on the subway, realized that it was the wrong subway, went down to Times Square, switched trains, went back uptown, and arrived at rehearsal half an hour late.

Oddly enough, exactly in time for my entrance!

John, the director, was so 100% up our butts that I thought I'd go crazy! He wasn't nearly so bad rehearsing with Cynthia and I.

I am a very strong believer in discovering things for myself, but he broke the show into sections of, like, five lines each, and would say "Okay, for this beat you mystify her and you ignore her" "Okay, this time I want you to patronize her and you to charm her". I basically ignored his instructions because I had no idea what they meant, and this was, after all, the very first read-through.

Then he and I went to Jersey and did Cynthia's and my scene, where he didn't do any of that shit, and I'm pretty sure that our scene will be better than the other one. So there you go.

I am a very bad person.

In a single week, I forgot both Amanda's and Melody's birthdays! Happy late birthday, guys!
