Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 73 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 90 for the day and rain/tstorms/apocalypse accordin’ to the weather PTB. We shall see. Today I shall be in the east forty for most of the day. That would be enough to encourage rain usually. However, I put my big umbrella in twuck last night which usually discourages rain. 😃 OK, that’s all I got. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. Happy Tuesday Y’all! ---

> [@dogbutler](#): > > Dids he use Venusian Aikido? No, he moved the plot forward by telling Marcus Lycus there was no plague in Crete. It was a nepotism role anyway–his brother co-wrote the screenplay. The first time I saw RHPS was at Irish Storyteller’s house with him, Complicated Friend, and a couple of Irish Storyteller’s Hispanic co-workers. It was a bilingual production, which is why to this day I sing “There’s a Light” as “Hay una luz.” During grad school RHPS was Halloween tradition at the free campus theater. They only let us have toilet paper once and no water guns ever. ☹ ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Never been to a live showing of RHPS, not sure whether I should care or not. If you ever get the chance, hit one. Or at least rent the DVD with the participation included. > [@anyrose](#): > > Seeing RHPS in a movie theatre with a floor show is great, or at least it used to be. In college, I was in the floor show at the smaller of the two movie houses in town as Magenta. I’ve seen it several dozen times, I lost count after 50. A few years ago, some friends and I decided to go see it. I was very disappointed because there were more shout backs than there was actual dialog in the movie. It’s out of control these days. BUT I was gratified to hear one that I started in 1978 still in the mix. When Brad and Janet are discussing the castle they just passed and she says the bit that ends with “and you may never come back to me”, I shouted “You should _be_ so lucky!”. I heard a group shout that at my recent encounter. Not the whole theater, but enough to make me feel proud. When I go these days I’m more likely to hit one of those “once a year” ones than the weekly. I agree that the weekly audiences today use way too many shout-outs. That and the quality of Columbia’s has really fallen off during the years. Doing some laundry before irk. Not nearly as sore as I expected from my first day back. I have a feeling that could change before the week is done. ---

**BLURF** Irking for a little while today. I have to leave around 2 pm for a 3:30 dr. appt. I have to take Lucky Louie home first. I have been out of my old age medicine for about a month. That is blood pressure and cholesterol pills. Ain’t nobody got time for a doctor appointment. Other than that I have nothing. ---

Afternoon, mumpers! I spent the morning at the eye horsepickle having my retinal birthmark investigated. Nothing fun there, apart from the eye drops that dilate everything and make the world look very strange indeed. I haven’t really been able to focus on much until now, the drops must be wearing off again. I have to go back in six months for a follow-up, and the doc has sent in a request for an ultrasound. Maybe my eye is pregnant, and that’s why it’s suddenly got a nevus it never had before. Oh, and congrats to the **VBobs**! ---

My sweetie just came home and crawled into bed. Poor thing isn’t feeling well. I closed up the house and turned on the air since it was getting humid in here, and drew the drapes in our room so he could have a dark-ish place to sleep. I need to think about something for lunch - eating breakfast at 5:30 has me starving long before 11… ---

I got a new boss today. We’ve worked together for ten years and I think we’ll get along. I went to the fair last night with a couple of friends. We had corndogs and roasted sweet corn, as well as sampled some deep fried food on a stick. The cutest minature burro was in the equine barn. He would come up to you for a skritch just like a dog. Too bad my apartment won’t allow pets. 😛 Back to irk I go. ---

I just finished watching _Midnight Cowboy_. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but I definitely wasn’t expecting that!! Yeah, I’m not too current on movies.
