This Percocet is some pretty fine stuff, you betcha!

To go from the absolute unmitigated agony of the past few days to this...this normality is just the best thing in the world. I don't see why addicts want it, though, because there doesn't seem to be any kind of a high involved, just an absence of pain, which is better than any high ever thought of.

The French again last night, another sold-out, wait-listed show, which is completely unfair, because I had one on Thursday and I shouldn't have to do two in a row, especially not while being all about the teeth and all!

I would have given alot not to have to do it, but I had to do it, and I knew that I had to do it, so I did it. And it really wasn't so bad, I'd just have preferred to stay home and watch Leonard Cohen on Austin City Limits, but who wouldn't?

The fun thing about doing the French, though, is that it looks really hard, and it is really hard, actually, keeping track of everything and everyone, and making certain that everyone who wants to go in and see a certain show makes it in, and getting the actors in and out, and making certain that the lobby remains quiet, and timing the shows and knowing where we are at any given time--it's like spinning plates, but I've done it a million times and it's second nature to me.

People watching me, though, tend to be hugely impressed with my not only spinning the plates, but remaining good-natured all the while. It's no great trick, really, but it looks like one from the outside.

And the best bit about a wait-listed show is that when you get people in to see the show when it wasn't certain that they would get in to see the show, they are so appreciative!

The worst thing is snippy Equity members being told that they can't use their cards for a free ticket. And Equity showcase means that you get a ticket if there is room, not no matter what, not that we will fling a paying customer out on her ear and put down a red carpet for you and your Equity card to sit in a free seat, and may we please blow you while you watch?

Hey, I'm an Equity member, but since I'm a box-office person too, this sense of entitlement sticks in my craw.

Horoscope d'aujourd'hui:
You feel a bit off kilter today as you struggle between too much togetherness and too much separation. A loving bond requires some of both.

Look, it was either that or beating him to death, and he is unwell and I thought that it would be less than kind.
