Loyal readers may remember that in July of 2005 I posted that a rat had cozied up in my engine compartment and made a feast of my spark plug cables -- an event that took a bit of diagnosing at the time. Then, visiting San Diego, I was driving my father's company vehicle. Upon diagnosis, I took a picture of the engine compartment and the gifts my little rat friend had left behind after his evening meal. It looked, well, exactly like this.
Now, living in San Diego and driving my own vehicle, I have been compelled once again to take a glimpse of my engine compartment. You tell me, dear reader, does this look ominously familiar?Methinks I've had another visitor.
Woo-Hoo! I guess it was about time to figure out who my friendly neighborhood Chrysler dealer was in these parts, anyway.
Meanwhile... tonight is the night of the Big Blackout Show in Chula Vista. What I failed to mention in my previous post, the reason I am all but positive that Murphy will not be able to resist munching on our 15-minute cushions the way the rats love munching on my engines is this: we are taping tonight. You KNOW that the Murph won't be able to resist a temptation like that one.
One way or the other, the cast and crew should be done with the show and released to the world not long after 10 p.m. tonight, and we are taking advantage of the fact by celebrating with a Birthdays Party afterwards. Dressing room investigation not long after my own special day turned up the intriguing fact that every one of us, including our light tech, will have celebrated the anniversary of our birth while bound to this show. Granted, our rehearsal schedule was somewhat longer than usual due to the number of holidays we had to work around, but that not one of our natal days falls outside the four month constraint and into one of the other eight months of the year is reason enough to our minds to demand a collective celebration. And celebrate we will.
But we'll do it somewhere a bit north of Chula Vista. Somewhere the lights are still on.
