Cleaning up a few open items:

• As of 5pm, I haven't received a callback from yesterday's audition. C'est la vie.


• Room Service wasn't bad, but it really didn't get funny until they slowed things down for Act III. I don't know if that's because of the script or just overfrenetic pacing.


• I have promised the director of Little Women that I won't be saying anything untoward in German onstage, as much as I might be tempted to be lewd. We have an audience tomorrow night, and there are still minor blocking changes being made.


• I'm making a German phrasebook (patterned somewhat on Zompist) that will include various show-related jokes ("Stoppen Sie versucht, Schlittschuh neben dem modischen Menschen") as an opening night present. Naturally I'll be using Google for the translation duties, so it's likely to be completely wrong. Also, ordering a dozen carrot-cake and a dozen mocha cupcakes.


• The detective has been calling asking for a serial number from the break-in--I've forwarded it to Mrs. Cwabs, who is the only person who can possibly get it.

Plenty of other loose ends to come!
