Take the roll, Kell! Thespians have more fun!
Hooray, I am the mightiest of all the Jesus types! I possess the amazing power of walking on water. I can tell people to eat me and they will listen! I deserve a pat on the back.

But I wanted to be Jesus with Bunnies! ::sobs::
::snickets:: I was working on the bit of the MAA script with Vimes and Cruces and the bells, and just as I got to the point where the bells started ringing in the script, a bunch of church bells near my house started chiming. That was an amusing experience.
Quote of the Day:
Lynne: Black gaffe! Black gaffe! I need some black gaffe! Does anyone know where I can find some black gaffe?
Me: What’s black gaffe?
Lynne: I don’t know!
Everyone must look at this right now. Alicey has ascended beyond mere hero status. Maybe God. At least Carrot level. XD
I anonymously posted my Pajama Game plot summary on the stage door, so that the cast and crew could read it. I should have kept my identity secret, but the cast reaction was so great that I had to reveal myself. Everyone loved it. I was amused.
In other news, my great aunt (my paternal grandfather’s sister) and my maternal grandparents came to see me tonight. I was slightly worried when I met them after the show, because my great aunt wasn’t aware that I was wearing a wig. ::stares:: Yes, Aunt Louise. I’ve always had short, fluffy, red hair. Haven’t you seen this year’s Christmas card photo? ::blinks:: Meanwhile, I saw Tom in the audience. Hurrah! He played Bratt in “How to Succeed” and was stage manager for “Ten Little Indians”. Good to see him again. I wonder if Mrs. Felice knows about the show…
Woohoo! I’m dead!
Sorry to say it, but you’d probably bite it less that halfway through the flick. Whether it’s because you tend to panic in stressful sitches or because you’d prefer not to grab a knife and start stabbing back, you’re not getting out alive. Extreme fear would have you frozen in terror, allowing the murderer time to fix himself a sandwich before 86-ing you. But hey, it’s not all bad. You’re non-violent and that’s nice. At least you don’t have to live the rest of your life with memories of all your friends hacked to pieces. And you won’t have to embarass yourself in any sub-par sequels. See, even being the victim of a homicidal rage has it’s good points!

The Pajama Game is the game we’re in…
The first “performance” went really well! Muaha! Technically, it was supposed to be a dress rehearsal, but this was the performance they filmed, so we had to be at our best. Plus, the audience was filled with senior citizens for some community service thing. Anyway, it was fun. Of course, before going onstage, I kept wanting to say “Good God, Rosemary! You could have at least let me finish my Metrecal!”. How to Succeed habits die hard. Especially during the intermission, where I found myself getting pumped for “Cinderella Darling” only to realize that I was no longer Smitty. Mae, I tell myself! Mae!
I felt so on-target in Act II, though. Definitely fun! I got to be an obnoxious drunk (I changed my character and changed my lines slightly this time — they actually make sense now), a pathetically desperate wannabe-romancer, and a fed-up broad, all in one night. Muaha! But now, sleep. Exhausted. ::dies::
Renata asked about the plot of “The Pajama Game”. I sumarize…
New boy comes to town and lies his way into a job as superintendent of a pajama factory. Pajama Factory Workers want a raise. Boy turns out to be a jerk. Boy meets Girl. Girl’s friends sing about Boy’s hotness. Boy hits on Girl. Girl turns Boy away. Boy and Girl go to company picnic. Boy and Girl randomly kiss. Boy and Girl suddenly in love for no particular reason. Boy and Girl go home together and look at Girl’s Dad’s stamp collection. Pajama Factory Workers become restless. Pajama Factory Workers start a “slow down” strike. Girl deliberately destroys company property. Boy fires Girl. End of Act I.
Union President, Random Employee, and Girl’s Faithful Sidekicks meet at Girl’s House. Girl’s Faithful Sidekick smitten with lecherous Union President. Union President smitten with everyone except Girl’s Faithful Sidekick. Meeting breaks up. After all go home, Boy comes to Girl’s house. Girl still mad at Boy, as Boy is a complete git. Meanwhile, in Pajama Factory, Pajama Factory Workers deliberately sew on buttons poorly, resulting in tons of orders being cancelled. Boy determined to help Worker Union get their raise in order to get back in Girl’s Pants. Boy talks to Boss’ Secretary to get financial records. Boss’ Secretary refuses to give Boy financial records. Boy takes Boss’ Secretary out to a nightclub to get drunk so that Boy can steal Boss’ Secretary’s key. Boy’s plan succeeds. Unfortunately, Boss’ Secretary’s Boyfriend sees Boy and Boss’ Secretary together. Boss’ Secretary’s Boyfriend drunkenly chases Boy with knife. Boy talks with Boss about potential raise. Boy discovers that raise has already been figured into the budget, meaning that Factory has been making lots of money illegally. Meanwhile, Union has a rally. Boy arrives at rally. Boy saves the day. Pajama Factory Workers get their raise. Everyone happy, even though Girl is still fired and Boy will most likely be sacked for spying on Factory ledger. The End. Reasons for calling musical “The Pajama Game” left unresolved.
Yesterday was the two-year anniversary of the concept “Cult of Lincoln”. This merits a celebration! ::tosses confetti about::
