This hotel room kind of sucks.
A pair of socked feet crossed at the end of a hospital bed. A blood pressure cuff hung over the end of the bed. In background, a TV mounted to a wall and a dry-erase board with care information written on it.

Well hey there, New York. What’s up?

Messing with scammers, community theatre stage manager edition. (Yes, this me, no I’m not Olivia, and this is most definitely not a cast member. All of my cast and crew are wonderful and timely people, who I would never talk to like this, even if they did try to blow off a show for a barbecue.)
Text exchange between me (Dave) and a scammer. 

SCAMMER: Do you have anything on your schedule tonight? If not, we're having a BBQ, and you'd be more than welcome to join us. What do you say?

ME: BBQ?!? You're supposed to be on stage tonight! Did you forget THE WHOLE SECOND WEEKEND OF THE SHOW!?! Be at the theatre by 6:30, in makeup and costume, and ready for mic check. WTF

SCAMMER: Sorry?
SCAMMER: Aren't you Olivia?

ME: You're goddamn right I'm Olivia, and Olivia is your angry stage manager who is tired of your excuses and your bullshit. You held up curtain by ten minutes last weekend! Be on time or just don't fucking bother. We turned down at least fifty people for your role and I'll bet half of them are basically show ready right now. Get your shit together. Your next text better be "I'm at the theatre, Olivia.”

No, Netflix, I don’t think that’s true.
Notification from Netflix that reads “A new season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is ready to watch now.”

Pies!!
On a butcher block counter sit three pumpkin pies, orange-brown in color. The pies are cooling on wire racks.

I wasn’t sure about sharing this like everyone else until I saw the actual number. Nice.
140,068 people had to go before me just so I could get this number.

First good sweat in over a week and it felt amazing! We’ll see if my muscles think differently in the morning.

Seeing Cheap Trick tonight, opening for Heart, and for a brief second thought @scalzi.com was renting out his prized ridiculous guitar. Alas, the one pictured isn’t quite as ridiculous as his—only five necks on Rick Nielsen’s here.

If you see this, I invite you to post a picture from whatever device you are using without explanation.
A rattan changing screen through which can be seen vague shapes, perhaps a person or two in blue jeans, and lots of yellow and orange.

Hey Detroit Free Press, tell me you pre-wrote an article without telling me you pre-wrote an article: (And yes, I know this happens all the time and isn’t usually a big deal, I just found it funny to spot it in the wild.)

Speaking of theatre, as I was yesterday. Moments before the pictured bed collapsed, somewhat gently, during rehearsal.

Don’t mind me, just capturing “snow in the vicinity of Christmas” before it melts away later today.
Blue sky and evergreens and snow on the picnic table, snow on the grass.

It’s sunny, too.

Sorry, @scalzi.com, looks like someone is not having this church buying thing catch on.

Welp. Time to head out on stage and put the last month of rehearsal to good use.

It’s a beautiful morning for watching other people run a 5k.

Time to resume my favorite treadmill activity, memorizing lines.
A script for Barefoot in the Park leaned up against the control panel of a treadmill, the lines for Paul highlighted.

Ain’t nothing secret about it, Tumblr. How are you just figuring this out now? Sheesh.

Not much to say today, so here’s a couple of fawns chilling in the shade in my backyard.
