Saturday, May 30, 2009:
I put on eyeliner today for the first time in ages. I wear makeup every day. The same makeup, with the same routine, at the same time each morning. Today everyone comments on how pretty and glamorous I look. Hmmmm.
I got off work at 3, and had a rehearsal at TPS at 5. So I wandered through the streets of Seattle through the sunny day and 70 degree weather, talking on the phone to the oldest member of the blessed company. I had a molasses cookie from my favorite Pike's Place Bakery, The Three Girls, and a lovely stroll with my SPF 50.
Rehearsal went well. My second readthrough of a new play. We're reading it for a group of playwrites on July 6. It's still too long, but either the exhaustion or my newness to the genre enables me to slash through paragraphs of lines. Someone today called my cuts "fearless." They aren't really. After getting up at 5am, I lacked the energy to maintain that level of emotional disbelief for 9 pages straight, and opted to cut down the scene. It really was too long, started too high, and then had nowhere to go. I think my note was "shrill." Which I can be. Especially in a French accent.

...RECENTLY OVERHEARD...
Rachel: "I'm short!"
Alan: "No, I'm short. I'm 5'8. You belong in a tree baking cookies."
Thomas: "So Austin, what are you not going to do between shows?"
Austin: "Eat Sugar? Break my arm?"
Kid at Restaurant: "Guess what I did yesterday?"
Rachel: "What did you do?"
Kid: "I went to the SPACE NOODLE!"
(His Mom starts cracking up)
Rachel: "And how was the Space Noodle?"
Kid: "It was AWESOME!!!!"
Constance: "The wrap party for FACE was really fun. I played you in the scenes!"
Rachel: "What did you have to do? Wander around making inappropriately timed non sequetors with a tape measure around your neck?"
Constance: "I had to look great first of all. I had to be a little cranky on the day I didn't have my coffee first. I had to primp everyone, it was so fun."
Scooter: "Oh no, don’t avoid Costco. Costco is good. Costco is addictive. Costco is where you sell your immortal soul to Mephistopholes for a 24-pack of Twinkies, four tires, a new laptop, 50 rolls of kitchen towels, a case of top-class wine, 10 lbs of Rib Eyes and the aforementioned car. None of which you needed. All before noon. And then you top it up with a $1.50 hot dog/diet coke combo. Costco is heaven. Try it out now." (From LittleRedBoat)
Abby: "What is with all this sun? I want it to be rainy again for another month!"
Me: "You see, this proves you aren't a true Seattle-ite."
Amelia: "But WHY didn't they make Anne faint into Gilbert Blythe's arms? It would have been sooooo much more romantic!" (Another promising feminist bites the dust.)
Teri: (referencing her recent cold)...And as soon as they heard me do announcements, the whole congregation went, "Oh my god, she's going to serve communion."
(At the homeless shelter)
Woman: I don't get Seattle's coffee thing. Why do people stand in line to buy a four dollar cup of coffee. Where I'm from we just drink Jo.
Me: Is this your first Seattle Winter?
Woman: Yes.
Me: Wait until February.
