why do they have to take things I am excited about and make them miserable?

Let me ask you a question. How far could you take LSOH towards Ave Q? Like.... I can see LSOH being a very very campy, almsot Rocky Horror Show B-film vibe.

I have already agreed to them double casting the two leads, which puts an enormous cost on the show

because no, the audreys cannot share costumes. there is a 6 inch height difference

And Ave Q is like muppets R-rated.

Well, the cost of the show is on the director/producer. YES you can work and keep costs down but if it costs X then it costs X.

I love Avenue Q, but it's a completely different show and feel

these two ninnies don't seem to understand that there are budget limits

new director is Maria's buddy, she recommended him, and she's the miserable bitch responsible for the train wreck that was elegies last semester

Well, that would be some ammo right there, Cat. Budget for a show that's NOT double cast, one that is, and one that has Audrey 2 on stage.

she has been TOLD about how we have limits, but she doesn't LIKE it, so she has willfully chosen not to learn or respect the tech/design team

Numbers don't lie; show her the numbers at the meeting. Let her pick what she wants to save on.

I am NOT ready with numbers

remember, first meeting was meant to be june 14

not fucking tomorrow

I have NOT broken down the script into numbers yet

Ahhhh..... gotcha. Yeah.

I haven't gotten my damn official script, I have a jenky PDF that gives me a migraine to read

Because I just finished grading yesterday night

I don't even have my official budget number!

Ballpark is probably 3k

Going to try going with a hot dog & baked beans.

Easy.

And chips.

I need inspiration for a lunch salad this week.

curry chicken salad with green grapes and walnuts

spinach and strawberries?

Don't have curry chicken, grapes, or strawberries and the spinach is mixed in with the rest of the base greens.

fair

I have prep'd a chicken and bleu cheese salad and a taco-mex salad.

I'd like one more.

Could do a Cobb-like salad. Or a caprese-type.

mmm caprese

Could try a take on nicose if we have frozen green beans.

icky tuna

Yeah, I don't have GOOD tuna, just the packet kind.

No avocados, which is a bummer for the Cobb idea.

Not sure what's for dinner. Went shopping today but still feeling all woogie from cold

Something easy, Rae. Like, even a can of soup or broth or something.

can of... soup? Who has such a thing?

Well, we have a few but then we have to have disaster/no-electricity prep.

I like the box of broth or stock with some seasoning, nice and hot, when I'm feeling punk.

rice is cooking

it is not real stir fry I am making

i have a frozenbag of veggies & leftover chicken & premade kikkoman "stir fry sauce"

Pfft. That counts, Cat.

that totally counts

mm

Got a little bit of writing done, woo me

Yay!
