A Good Day For....

Jesus, what a day.

Rehearsal last night. Frustrating. I am feeling a bit at sea, and unable to get a grip on what the show needs from my character. Or, seemingly, execute it..at all.

Tried playing some guitar last night when I got home, realized I'm in a position where it's probably best to burn the ships, again. Erase everything and start from scratch. I need to get focused and work out each of these tracks...again. I think this is good stuff, I just need to figure it out.

So, square one.

In that end, put the headphones on to try to find proper fuzztone for what I'm thinking. Utter disaster. Damn amp.

Managed to lock CByrd out, and couldn't hear her calling, due to the headphones.

Went to bed. Couldn't sleep last night, as my hacking/cough/plague decided to return and wake me up.

Then got up to find...no hot water.

Did not complete my full Wednesday morning workout.

Gray day...snow coming.

Generally....


A Good Day for the Blues
by Storyville

Sometimes you fly so high
You can't find a place to land
Got money in the bank
A drink in your hand
When the love gets low
Someone's gonna lose
 

Cause our love is driftin,
and it's a good day for the blues
 

When you shuffle your cards
You always have a winning hand
When luck is on the run
You never have to take a stand
When the chips get low
You know you're gonna have to choose
 

Cause our love is driftin,
and it's a good day for the blues
 

It's a good day, for Bobby Blue Bland
For the thrill isn't gone, Magic Sam
Whatever it takes, I do what I can do
To bridge this river that flows from me to you
 

Our love is driftin,
and it's a good day for the blues
Whatever it takes, I do what I can do
To bridge this river that flows from me to you
 

Our love is driftin,
and it's a good day for the blues


Our love is driftin,
and it's a good day for the blues


Our love is driftin,
and it's a good day for the blues

Birthday presents...and other musings.

I'm excited by my lovely wife's gifts to me on my 38th (ugh!).

I'm re-reading my new copy of Star Trek Memories by William Shatner. Easily my favorite book about Star Trek, and the new printing is very, very snazzy. Hopefully a new edition of Star Trek Movie Memories will be forthcoming.

The whole think is, rightly, from Shatner's perspective, and he's an engaging storyteller. Though, I'm certain that "co-writer" Chris Kreski actually wrote most of the book. The stories are entertaining, and he's honest and direct about his poor relations with the rest of the cast, as well as his befuddlement at their hatered of him. A fun read.

I'm also REALLY excited about my new Bone: One Volume Edition, by Jeff Smith. The book is HUGE, well over 1000 pages, and containing the entirety of Smith's comic book/graphic novel masterpiece. Not something I'll be hauling on the train, but I'm gonna try to read a chapter or two every night before bed. I'm kind of ashamed I haven't read this before now, as it truly is a classic, and I've found myself laughing out loud on a number of occasions.

Also got a number of DVDs and Blu-Rays, especially cool is For All Mankind, Al Reinert's amazing documentry on the moon landings. I'm so excited to watch this in Hi-Def. New Torchwood and Doctor Who to watch, as well.

In other news, first night of actual rehearsals for Plans 1-8 from Outer Space last night. Of course, I hurt myself. I think I bruised a rib on my right side.

*sigh*

Just figures, right?

Short weeks always go slower, don't they? We're wrapped up for Plans 1-8 this week, but I have the "Trekkie Play" workshops on Saturday and Sunday. Lots of stuff going on, and I feel really tired. The crap with the ribs doesn't help, sucks the energy right out of me. LOL!

Need to get back to working out. Seriously, nothng like going to LA to make you feel out of shape.
