2 June Hey, it's my new name! You like? First, my page was called "The Mighty Kymm's Homepage" because I was too green to know how doofy that sounded, then it was "Hedgehog Tales", and now I'm "Sweet as a Biscuit"! Of course, I'm still "The Mighty Kymm-you'll not see nothing like!" in my entries, as I always have been, for those of you who are thinking of making me design sets. But where did the name come from? It's from an article a couple of weeks ago in Entertainment Weekly about Russell Crowe, and he says to the waiter who asks if he can get him anything, "If you'll bring me another beer, I'll be sweet as a biscuit." And I thought "Wow. I gotta use that." And I am! The design contest winner is Saundra, but here's the deal--I loved several of the designs so much that it's just a shame to waste them, so I'm going to rotate them, using whichever one fits with the entry set of the month, and unlike the entry sets of the month, they will be re-used, not disappear forever when the month is up. And since Saundra did the entry set this month, it's no great shock that her index image matches the best! I meant to redesign the front page more than that, but I couldn't think of anything, so I just decided to change the logo and work on it later.
I had my second rehearsal for my new show last night (which, for you Feydeau freaks, is called The Boor Hug), that I was an hour late for, rather than the half hour I was planning, but I can tell that this will be like Rehearsal at Versailles, where I basically just showed up whenever I felt like it. Man, give me an inch and I'll beat you to death with a shovel. Anyway, I got there to find out that Radio Voice had dropped out! I can't imagine why, as it's a very funny script that he was well-cast in, unless it's because it is basically the straight man role, most of the laughs are written for David and me. Or maybe, as Cynthia suggested, he realized that the director is going to be a little wimpy, "And he's not like you, who thinks 'Hooray, I'll just direct myself, then!'" But the good news is the he's being replaced by Al, who was in Rimers with me, and whom I adore and am thrilled to get to work with again.

Since all forums have personality, Colleen asked if mine could be the silly forum. I answered: "Lord knows I have no problem with that, silliness is my middle name! Well, if you pronounce M-A-R-Y J-O-A-N like "silliness"." And, to that end, I tell this story: So I was in Kathleen's office, going over some invoices, and her radio was on, and suddenly the most insidious song began to play, Cher's "Do You Believe in Love", or "Do You Believe In Life After Love", I've never known what's the real title. And, as I was standing there, my toes started tapping and my butt started wiggling and I said "You know the problem with this song? You just can't stay still! It's not that I want to dance..." Kathleen answered, "Yeah, it's best not to eat a full meal right before hearing this song." And, as I boogied helplessly around the room, raising the roof and other such moves like the kids do today, I cried: "It's like the Red Shoes!"
