Went to four different stores in Manahawkin and Mays Landing to get an address book. My old one is stuffed with envelopes, cards, and little pieces of paper containing addresses--not to mention dead people. It surprised me how difficult it was to find a new one. Maybe that's because so many people keep their info on the computer, but I'm old enough not to completely trust it. I wanted one that includes designated spaces for cell phone and e-mail addresses and that isn't so small it would immediately get messy. Finally found one at Border's. Now comes the long, laborious job of transferring data--by hand.
Went to rehearsal last night; I'm learning a lot by watching and listening. Before LETCO, I hadn't realized how complex it is to put on a play. Not only must the acting be right, but careful "blocking" (choreographing the action on stage) is essential. The players' actions--sitting down, crossing the stage, touching each other, picking up a book, answering the phone, and all the other movements we make without thinking--must be carefully planned and set up in advance. As a rule, actors can't be motionless for long periods, but nor can they keep up frantic movements. There's a lot to blocking.
After, we went to Doyle's for a beer and a snack and that was fun. Got home after 9:00 and wasn't in bed until after 11:00.
WIDER: You always suspected this and now here's Tom Engelhardt to confirm it. This is an absolutely must-read for anybody with his head on straight:
