Ninja Pirates, again...
Memoirs of a Geisha - too many Ninja Pirates for my liking, and not enough bears with laser beams coming out of their eyes.

I'm going to send something off to Tonto this weekend, and try and get some sleep. That's the plan.

I need to write some more, and shpleurgh... can't be bothered.

Ciao.

So... not so impressed - new year, same old shit
Welcome to 2006 folks, it's new, it's shiny, and like an ipod's batteries, it will only last a year.

On the glummer side, I'm back at work, which is good, don't get me wrong, I like my work, but a month off just makes me want to stay off and do nothing but write and drink and things. And on the plus side at work we have five plays in ten days time, instead of the usual two and thirty days time, so fun fun fun on the work front.

It gets a bit crazy, and I am stressing over the fact that one director wants 21 chairs and 8 tables on a stage which simply isn't big enough. Damn them, damn them all to hell...

So I'm building coffins to make a bed out of, and sourcing props, as we decided this time would be a good time to start swapping over the jobs, so I get to do the building, the sound and the props where before I only had to do the building and the sound. Sweet...

hmmm..

I'm collecting wrinkles this year, and I'm trying to give up smoking (with varying degrees of success) and I'm loving the extra stress...

On the plus side, they've renewed my contract so I am officially employed till the end

and on the plusser side, the new series of House and Desperate Housewives start again next week, so I have something to drown my sorrows with after work once or twice a week.

Right. I'm off to find a jazz waltz from 1936...







great...
