The calm before the storm, so to speak

It's lucky I've got a free moment. Becky laughed at the lack of blank space on my calendar for this week. I find her laughing rather amusing, since she's the one who was bugging me to work on the show in the first place!! I'm light board op for As You Like It, which opens this Wednesday night. We had tech all day yesterday, and fortunately we got enough done that I'm not sitting over in the theater right now. I don't have to be there till 6 tonight for first dress. It's lots of fun, though, and Becky and Snicholas are great SMs who are totally on my side. ;)

Other than AYLI, I've just been crazy busy with school work and such. I've hardly gotten to watch any baseball, although I'm watching the Braves and Pirates right now on MLB.TV. (It's so nice of them to let me watch this game, since I'm paying to watch whatever games I want...geez!!) The Braves are up 3-0 in the third, which is a good sign, since we've lost several in a row. But Chipper's back in the lineup, so that should give us a boost. And MAJOR congratulations are in order to the Indians, who have made spectacular contributions to the Yankees' epic fail season so far!! They've won the first two games in the new Yankee stadium, including a spectacular 22-4 steam-rolling yesterday. Keep it up, everyone!! WOOT!!

Hopefully everyone has seen the incredible new trailer for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. (If not, you can see it here: http://video.the-leaky-cauldron.org/video/1155) We got word this week that WB has change the release date AGAIN, from July 17 to July 15...I suppose that's better than delaying it again, but it still annoys me. I know Warner Brothers is a business, but I still somehow expect them to have a little bit of respect for the fans that bring in sooooooo much money for them. I'm sure we'll get it worked out somehow, but I'm just worried that people will have a lot more trouble going to a midnight showing on a Wednesday than on a Friday. And this will change the dynamic of the 3 A.M. LeakyMug broadcast from Azkatraz, but I know it will still be awesome.

Well, to the one person who's probably reading this, have a good week (or two, or whatever...no idea when I'll be on here again.) DFTBA!! ("Don't Forget To Be Awesome," for those who aren't up on their Nerdfighter lingo.)
