every<\/em> week in The Onion [online] you should.)<\/p>\nI mentioned some updates I need to make to my website — it had some technical difficulties after migrating between servers last week, since I’m the only one on the server who uses PostgreSQL and Sever Side Includes — to which C responded “you just made my head spin” and S said I should migrate to PHP or Java (both are IT folks; I already use some PHP). With regard to the techno-babble S replied, “you need a girlfriend and forget all that jibba jabba” — he might be right. Not going to be happening, though.<\/p>\n
In any case, it was great to speak with the two of them — it brought back a bit of the feeling of when the whole group of us had our own “social networking” site of sorts half a decade ago (hey, half of us or more were IT professionals … we were all about living on the bleeding edge. Then).<\/p>\n
Thursday morning I fly out to Ontario; alas, Nate likely won’t be there until Friday. At least the reservation is in my name, too, so I can check in. I’ll be at the Sheraton Suites Fairplex Pomona … what an obnoxiously long name. And people say German is bad. There is a “fitness studio” or “center” or whatever they call it. And a sauna, whirlpool … I could just relax the whole afternoon I guess. How decadent.<\/p>\n
It’s Martini Time … or rather, that’s the Reverend Horton Heat album playing. The album Holy Roller ends with a smarmy cover of “Folsom Prison Blues” (you can just imagine the Reverend smirking as he sings it) and a cover of “The Entertainer” punctuated by farts and belches. Still a good album, but it’s been turned up a notch or two on It’s Martini Time.<\/p>\n
This evening was rehearsal time, and I got several walk-throughs with Beth Anne in our scenes, which was a good thing, since we’d only gone through our scenes, with very little<\/em> direction from Manfred, a few times last week at the Play Circle. I still had no real idea what he wanted from me in terms of body language, tone of voice, etc., but I go that tonight.<\/p>\nAmen.<\/em><\/p>\nSo to speak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
