Oh my stars and garters!

On a scale from zero to Robin Williams, I'm probably a strong four. Maybe a three. From the waist down I'm hairy as a satyr. Hand me some Pan pipes and goat hooves and send me to forest to dance and cavort. This being my lot in life, I've been asked to remove my body hair for The Rocky Horror Show. Which I will do cause I see nothing wrong with a little 'manscaping'. I just don't want to look like a shaven ape or like my balls haven't dropped yet.

Here's to clean living. And Nair. And electric razors with a number two guard.

The last Rocky related thing I'll mention is Natalie and Katrina doing the reprise of 'Science Fiction'.
The arrangement is like the song 'Midnight Radio' from Hedwig and The Angry Inch and those two just rock out on it. Katrina may be fat, splotchy, lazy, a horrible actress, a terrible Columbia (she's totally stealing Jackie's 'song-logue' almost verbatim), and a diva -- but the one thing I can't take away from her is that she can sing. And Natalie, she just rules no matter how you slice it. Her Magenta is bad ass -- I'm so glad that my blocking gives me several moments to interact with her. She's one of the few things I'm not worried about in regards to the show. And their moment there at the end could end up being really powerful and cool. My fear is that the audience will have already checked out of the show by that time.

Called Elizabeth (from Noises Off) yesterday. She's having a cast party for BABY on Saturday and wants to segue that into a Noises Off DVD viewing later in the evening. If it comes together, I'm be there. I've been curious to see the DVD all the way through since I got a glimpse of it at The Dolly Awards.

Of course if it doesn't work out for Saturday, I'm gaming at Kevin and Marcie's. I can even begin to explain the fun and joy of finding people who like to roleplay and yet at the same time have other interests. Cause a lot of gaming people are a little weird and scary to me. I think anyone who's too into one hobby can get a little weird.

Anyway --- hey that's strange -- I keep trying to hit the italic key and it doesn't work -- or I'm doing something wrong --suddenly, poof, no italics. Okay. Where was I, oh yes -- last time we played Marcie and I wiped the floor with a bunch of zombies (maybe that's another reason I liked Shaun Of The Dead so much). And Marcie went up a level and I'm close. Zombies, bah. Bring on githyanki or ilithids or drow or what have you. Between my psionic monk half drow and Marcie's magic using elven ranger....we cannot be defeated.

Okay, enough geek speak. A lot of people probably read the last two paragraphs like, "what?".

Auditions for 1940's Radio Hour are this Sunday. Can't wait. I don't know if I have the Wally Ferguson in me that Jeff wants but it would be cool to end the year doing another show at Bay Street. There would be a nice flow to doing Noises Off at the begining of the year and then 1940's Radio Hour at the end. Plus, I imagine that downtown Eustis is very pretty at Christmas time.

So, Amber's coming down tonight with Brian to see some concert at House Of Blues. She's going to spend the night and head back to Jax thursday morning. I'm looking forward to seeing her. Even if it's just for a bit.

Steve Miller just sent me an email inviting me to go and see the Scissor Sisters with him next month. And while Steve is surely at times one of the most annoying human beings I've ever met -- I'll freely admit that he has great taste in music and I'd go see a concert with him. I haven't seen a concert since earlier this year when I saw The Strokes (they ruled, thankee-sai). And I bet the Scissor Sisters put on a great live show.

Todd (a fellow phantom from Rocky -- where else do phantoms come from -- the opera) let me borrow a Death Cab For Cutie cd and it's really good. I'm totally keeping Todd around after Rocky is a dim memory. He's cool. And it's nice to have a straight male friend around. A guy, you know. Cause Kevin and Geoff are in Jacksonville and for the most part all my male friends here in Orlando are gay. (The only exception I can think of is Kevin, of Kevin and Marcie fame). But anyway, I'm keeping Todd around. And Jenn Woods. Right now they are the only two people from the show that I want to have anything to do with once Rocky is over. Well, Natalie. And Steve Schneider, he rules too. Funny and razor smart and cool. But that's it.

Man, I have a Nirvana song stuck in a loop in my head. It was one that was released after Cobain's suicide. The chorus goes, "Come on over and do the Twist, I might do it and have a fit". At least I think that's how it went. Can't remember the name of the song though. It's better than the last few days, I had Joy Division stuck in my head......"Love, love will tear us apart, again....love, love will tear us apart, again...". Over and over, depressing, wait, well, it is Joy Division, isn't it.
