Ow. Ow ow ow ow ow. Also, ow.

No, not yoga again, that's not until Saturday, this time it's a huge fucking splinter in my finger that I cannot get out. Makes typing a challenge, let me tell you that.

It happened during rehearsal. We were running the show with no stops for the first time, crawling around on that uneven, splintery floor that is dirty no matter how many times we sweep it, and at one point a giant spike just ripped my finger open, then left half of itself inside of me, but too far away from the point where it went in that I cannot get it the fuck out.

I didn't stop, though! Fortunately, it occurred at a point in the play where I have to scream in rage, so that worked out nicely, though I saw Le lean forward in concern as the blood dripped down my hand.

Besides the maiming, the runthrough went very well. Very very well. Afterwards, I said to Omar, "Um, our first scene was a little different than usual," and he answered that we are still rehearsing and finding things, but that wasn't what I meant so much as it was by far the hottest that scene has ever been.

I mean, the show was always hot, no question about it, it's intensely sexual, but he was participating in the sexuality more completely than he usually does, or earlier than he usually does or something. Something. I don't know what, but my ears were ringing and my knees were buckling when I left the stage.

I think that it might be almost too intimate to watch comfortably. It'll be nice that it won't only be Cynthia and Omar's makeout scene that'll be giving the audience erections.

And then when I got home, I took a cold shower and updated my Funny Pages and No Spring Chicken burbs for the first time in I'm horrified to even think how long!

It's all thanks to Kate, who sent me an email offering to help me with the updating, since she had asked for her URL to be changed about 15 times with no response from extremely bad and lazy me. So she went through Chicken and weeded out the dead links and I added all of the new (some really not so new as I was horrified to find some emails from 2000 asking for inclusion).

So go and surf them! See the wonderful journals! And I'm off the hook to update them again until 2006!

Today's horoscope:
The building blocks are all in place. With some bottom-end support, Virgo is ready for a few days of soaring constructs. Take a fellow thinker to dinner and explore the fascinating reaches of his or her mind.

One year ago today:
76º yesterday, today it's supposed to be in the mid-50's, tomorrow, the low 40's. Over the weekend, pneumonia all around.
