Your face is so [title of show] right now

Care labels have always annoyed me. They itch like crazy, and when you try and cut them off your shirt, they rip the fabric open, and you get a hole, and then need to buy a new shirt with a new care label. I heat print care labels. So much awesomer...

Anyhew, it wont come as a shock to you, that working on redesigning literally 1000's of new care labels at work for the past month has gotten this muggle down. Today, was supposed to be printing day. The day of finishing. The day of printing off 7,500 A3 pages of Care Label artwork to send over to China. Alas, only 1,500 pages were printed. Its a whole other story why. You can't get there by bus... but there you have it.

Spelling Bee was AMAZING tonight. I have started a new tradition it seems with Arcadian Shows. The Friday night show is coffee shot night. 30 seconds before stage time is an extra strength shot of coffee sludge for the gulping and the hyping. I was completely on fire tonight with the buzzing and the bringing of the crazy.

So much so, that the cast were hesitant to take me out to a coffee shop post show. I went. And had another long black. Delicious.

But Mara was the one totally burning the awesome sauce candle at both ends. She was beyond amazing. Superstar performance for her tonight :)

Also tonight, an ex student Tamara came to see the show. She totally knocked me down with a feather. I was so excited to see her and thrilled that she had loved the show. This is how the scene went down after coming out of the dressing room:

SCENE FIVE:

[Kenney enters the auditorium triumphantly holding a mango flavoured yogurt.]

Kenney: [addressing Tyson in a stilted tone] Hello-Tyson-I-have-got-a-mango-flavoured-yogurt-to-eat-now-it-is-called-formé-which-is-a-pun-be-cause-it-is-a-yogurt-for-me-but-the-accent-on-the-e-makes-it-say-form-which-makes-you-thinner.

[Tamara has watched with hesitation and is scared to approach]

Kenney: [eating yogurt] nomnomnom

Tamara: KENNEY!

Kenney: [embarrassed] oh!? WOW! You CAME! how AMAZING! apologies, i err.. am...hyped up on...coffee atm.

Tamara's Dad: ...

Tamara: You were AWESOME!

Kenney: *grin* gee thanks.

[Tyson ties a pink ribbon around his head in a clean and professional manner]

END SCENE

It went down EXACTLY like that. No lies. Then, Tamara made my week by saying how I was her favorite teacher. Big Call. Big Call. KIND of a Big Deal. So Happy. Yay.
