Here is my big horoscope for today:

"Get yourself organized in the early morning hours, because as the day goes on, Kymm, you are going to find that you are more and more scattered. If you start out with a solid plan about how you are going to tackle the tasks of the day, you are much more likely to accomplish everything you need to get done. If you don't remain strong and on-task, other people will take advantage of your generous, thoughtful nature, and you may end up doing more favors for others than you do for yourself."

Why do I have the feeling that that will be absolutely spot-on? It's the first day of The Raccoon's vacation, I guarantee you that that will be gospel.

So, rehearsal today was both a pain and somewhat exhilarating, or at least from my point of view. I'm certain that from the actors' point of view, it was almost entirely a pain.

I have never worked with actors who could do less what I told them to do, or who would take one small thing that I said and use it to ignore everything else that I said, because everything else contradicted the original thing, of which they had misunderstood my meaning in the first place.

Normally, at this point in the rehearsal process, we would be about to open, but in this case, we have two more weeks. Perhaps that is a lesson for me, having to muddle through and make myself clear to everyone without the gift of the end or the opening (which, for the director, is the end) being right there.

It's a learning experience. I fucking hate learning experiences.

So, I have found that I must have mis-read the packaging of the special blemish soap that I bought from Lush in Canada. I thought it was to get rid of blemishes, but it seems to have been created in order to add them.

I mean, I don't know who wants to break out more, but who is Lush to judge? Perhaps it was made for punk musicians.

Today's horoscope:
You may brainstorm a new, more effective approach at work, or introduce new, better technology. Watch for possibilities.
