27 May

Yesterday was a big pain in the patoot.

Yesterday I had to do the POs in the system. This is a new thing, where instead of entering the invoice manually, you do it through the PO that is already there.

Sounds like a time-saver, no? No. It took me forty-five minutes to enter three invoices, but they were problematic ones to say the least. When I got up to speed, it took me about five minutes per invoice. Instead of thirty seconds.

Kill me now.

Rehearsal was pretty good, though I am being forced to wear a babushka, which I totally don't want to do!

I'm not certain about this show, though. I'm beginning to think that either it will be extremely funny, a knockdown dragout farce building to an hilarious ending or twenty minutes of actors screaming and mugging and being completely unfunny.

I'm hoping for the former, but we won't know a thing until we're in front of an audience.

So, over the past couple of days there has been a hue and cry in my mailbox, "You're a real person, aren't you? If you're not, I don't want to know!"

Well, I thought I would address these fears by relaying an exchange that Patrick and I had on Journals L.

'Who, out of the journallers you read, would you be least surprised to find out was actually an impostor? And what would you suspect them of being?

For example:

THE IMPOSTOR: The Mighty Kymm

CLUES: Witty, urbane, and non-whiney on a regular basis. Updates daily without fail. Supposedly the journal of an ACTRESS, who could easily have been bought off to play the role whenever asked.

MY SUSPECT: The marketing department at Lush Bath Products, who started a long-ranging advertising campaign with a fictional character (Kymm), endorsements (try and let a month go by without her raving about one or another of their soaps), and a mascot (the hedgehog).

Nice try, "Kymm." '

'Sigh. We knew it would come out sooner or later. We are actually an amalgam of fifteen people living all over the world collaborating on this journal. We hired a tall redhead who lives on the East Coast to portray "Kymm" in her meetings with various journallers. The logistics are enormous--millions of dollars and three years of our lives have been spent in order to make this whole thing credible, and you, Patrick, start flapping your cakehole and wreck everything!

We'll be back, you can believe that.

The Collective Formerly Known as "Kymm" '

I guess I'll go have a bath now, utilizing some of the fine products available from Lush, purveyors of high quality bath items, such as soap, bath bombs, bath melts, and shampoos.

A favourite of hedgehogs everywhere!

Today's horoscope:
You feel pulled between the domestic front and the outer world today. Divide your time and energy as best you can.

One year ago today:
Let me take this opportunity to say that my fellow actor is the biggest fucking pain in the ass imaginable.
