Dracula and Fake Blood

So believe it or not, but Dracula and the fake blood in the title actually have nothing to do with each other. So lets start with last night and Dracula.

After I finished work at the Zone, I had to drive over to the home depot on Oracle and Prince with all of an hour until I had to be back at the theatre to see dracula. Fortunately, there was someone there who helped me with all of my SAW Parody needs and it went really well. Then I went to see Dracula.

Short of Rum and Coke (but not by much) it was probably the most boring play I have ever seen put on by the theatre dept. here at the U of A. The majority of the show took place in one setting and with what seemed like a bunch of talking heads. There were some early pyrotechnics, but the first half was utterly unbearable. I actually had to keep myself from falling asleep because of the paper I have to write on it. Oh how the mighty have fallen since "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" last spring. That was a good show. The only really interesting part of the show was the end when Dracula was killed, primarily because of the pyrotecnics. Lots of fire and explosions. But lets face facts, the lighting sucked, just like the rest of the show. It got out at about 945. Then I headed home and started setting up for...

That which involves the fake blood.

The SAW parody shoot begins at 400 PM today and I needed to set up the lights so that we would be good to go when everyone arrives on the set. I ended up being awake until about 2am which isnt good if you have to get up at 630 for work. So until about 930 tonight when we wrap (hopefully with all the shots we need) I will be running on about 4 hours of sleep. Doesn't help that I have 3 hours of work in the Theatre Lab today and I have to keep my strength up for that.

No change yet on the situation with my mom. Not sure really how to approach her on this topic. Special thanks to my sis for sending me a birthday card that is for a Sister and not that which I am at the moment.

Still have to sort out the therapist thing. Haven't contacted Martie yet to see if she can see me on a mildly regular basis. Think I will try and send her an email now as I believe she is out of town.

Cross your fingers for me that we get what we need to get shot finished.
