Things that Crack Me Up Today

For most of my online tooling about, I use Mozilla's Firefox web browser, preferring it to Internet Explorer and Netscape. However, every so often -- very rarely in fact -- I find a web page that is optimized for one of the other browsers and has a compatibility issue with Firefox. One of those pages is my own Mindspring website. What I see when my picture doesn't load properly is just short of hilarious. Although it is an outdoor shot, the failed pic shows what appears to be corner molding, giving the impression that I might have stepped out of my frame to talk to the picture of Dumbledore.

Yesterday afternoon I was handed the two scripts I will be directing in the North Park Playwright Festival. Yesterday evening I was asked to read the script I will be performing in the 6th @ Penn Challenge Theatre program. The three titles together tell their own story: Among the Missing, The Last Supper, and Obits for Dummies. I love the smell of death-theme in the morning.

Now that the Aubrey Awards ceremony has come and gone (with my two nods splitting votes in the same category I predictably did not win), one of the member theatres is hosting its own in-house awards. I was sent an invitation to attend the ceremonial breakfast but did not discover that I was nominated for an award until my mother e-mailed from Tennessee to congratulate me. Thanks for the long-distance heads-up, Mom! Maybe I'll buy that plate of eggs after all. LOL.
