D-day

Tommorow is D-day. The opening day for Little Shop of Horrors. Yesterday was the official dress rehearsal before a live audience. The dress rehearsal went suprisingly well. The director was impressed with the Lighting again and the sound was the best I have ever seen...err heard it. The only blip of the entire show was the Pig. He once again live up to his name, eating two sandwhiches, a whole bag of carrots, and a Bag of Doritoes over the course of a couple hours. Including eating throughout the entire second act. And he was the only one who was in the main house, sitting with the audience, in plain view. It was quite disgusting actually. Mr. Rocko was pretty pissed of and it made me one to pummel the pig. Except that then I would have to touch him. Ewww. Anyways there is a short rehearsal today and then D-day tommorow. I'm behind in my math (by a lesson) and I have to tests next week. I won't be in class all day tommorow and I have to do a lab at lunch. Then I will be here from like 7:50 in the morning to like 10:00 at night on Thursday and Friday. In other news Mr. Rocko has decided to make a lifestyle choice. He got rid of all the chips and the chocolate and is going on a diet. I was so sad yesterday because he bought no fat chocolate milk and drank the whole carton and then realized it was 600 calories. I don't know why that makes me so sad but it does. It makes me want to cry. I hope he finds success in his health phase.

Cookies, Cravings and weird stuffs

So today Mr. Rocko and I went up to the mall to buy some chocolate for our computer science teacher (Mr. Rocko owed her some chocolate). While we were there Mr. Rocko bought some cookies. The cookies drove everyone around us crazy. Some little grade 10's kept bugging us for cookies and the grade 12's were talking about stealing cookies so we hid them and got B-ray to lock the door for us. That was the cookies and cravings part. Now comes the weird stuffs. Mr. Rocko and I came up with our master plan to steal a fair ride. Mr. Rocko called up his alien buddy, Mr. Q, and got him to agree to pick up the ride with his medium UFO and bring it to Mars. Then we were talking about the Zombie Mr. Rocko's and the zombie chickens who eat Zombie meese, unflavored on weekdays, flavored on holidays and weekends. Mr. Rocko said the zombie Mr. Rocko's were banned from future shop for 3 days because one of them tried to park his jet pack on the roof. Since they live within walking distance of future shop, they also live within walking/jetpack distance of a couple of banks. We planned to meet Mr. Q at the the mall at 5:00 pm his time which was 9:26 pm our time. So that was what happened on this Friday. Friday's are always crazy around here.

Better Days

So life has gotten better in terms of the Little Shop of Horrors and the Director. The director was a lot nicer at the last rehearsal. She left me on my own without calling out the cues and she was really pleased with how well I did the cues. I guess that is weight off her shoulders to know that her lighting director is competent. There was an incident with Jane today. She was telling her friends about how we keep chocolate in the office. She didn't realize I was standing behind her at the time. And then she went into the office to check if there was any candy in the stash. There was some but I didn't even let her check. Mr. Rocko gave her a talking to and she gave some serious attitude. We had the day off from rehearsal today and I only had to go to one class because Math was cancelled and during computer science we were setting up for an assembly. As well Mr. Rocko changed the teams name to the Nerd Squad. Don't ask me why. Anyways I finally figured out how to finish my program so I feel a lot better now. Anyways the stress is off although I didn't finish my homework for Math Class. Oh well. Life is finally starting to look up. Except that I have to spend all of Saturday at school.

Finally some rest

So the Director gave us Wednesday. Thursday and Friday off last week. We had Wednesday and Thursday off because the actors were just working on their songs and we had friday off because there was no rehearsal friday. I was actually home early for once. I also got my midterm report card on friday and my average so far for this semester is almost 88 %/ But there was a problem with my computer science mark because it was higher than it should have been. Anyways its good that I am keeping my marks up because I need 85 % to keep my scholarship for university. While it was nice to have a couple days off, there was a downside. I had to go into school saturday morning because we were trying out the new equalizer. It sounded great but it was nothing to loose sleep over. Speaking of loosing sleep, I have a Biology test on Tuesday. I've studied hard for my test but tests always make me nervous. I have to do well to make up for the 60 % I got on my last quiz. I got so low because I was working on other stuff and had no time to study for the quiz. Another thing about Friday, no one went into the office for once. Someone went into the office three times last week during third period. We know because they stole chair's from the office. We suspect it was Jane because she was pissed off about quitting the team and everything else. Anyways I really don't know what I am going to do now because I am so board. There is nothing to do around here.

Yay Finally A Day Off

Finally we have a day off from the Little Shop of Horrors and our evil director. Today she came in complaining about how I "Wasn't following the cues." It's kind of hard to follow cues when she changes the cues on the fly every single rehearsal. Tonight we are only needed for pictures and then we can leave. My first afternoon off in almost three weeks. More on Jane as well. Apparently she did not enjoy being on the AV team all this time. Bullshit. If she had a problem she should have said so.

Rabid Aquatic goats

So I wrote a math contest today. In preparation for the contest I was looking through old contests. One of the questions had to do with survivors on an island building a driftwood shelter for their goat. Now my question to my good pal Mr. Rocko upon reading this was "Why the heck do they have a goat in the first question. Sadly Mr. Rocko was no help, only telling me to "figure it out mathematically." Now today I was writing the contest and there was a question about a couple of islands surrounded by water filled with... rabid aquatic goats. What is with them and goat? Well this afternoon I was telling Mr. Rocko how in order to be 100 % prepared for the contest you would have to study every single thing to do with math. His comment was "Ya, everything about Math and everything about goats." Anyways this was just a brief interruption from "The Little Shop of Horrors," or as a classmate called it "Little Shop of Whores." In her defense she thought that Mr. Rocko actually said Whores. We had another rehearsal tonight and while we managed to avoid Death Wishes, we found out that one of our speakers was blown. On top of that Mr. Rocko and I had to leave before the end of rehearsal since the Director never told us it was a full run through today. I had to leave the Pig on the lighting board. It should have been pretty easy, a simple fade to blackout and fade up in one scene, a blackout at the end. Apparently not. We were standing by our lockers when we saw the lights blacked out and the Director, apparently forgetting I had to leave, calling up to me about the lighting, particularly about something that was done wrong. The Pig can't even handle the simplest tasks. But on the bright side, having him screw up immediately makes me look all the better to the Director. On the bad side, we have to go in on Saturday to play around with the sound and we have a full technical rehearsal the Saturday after. Not much time left for myself anymore.

The Killing Died down

It's a friday night and as usual I am stuck at home by myself while everyone else is out having fun. Not that I mind overly much. I haven't actually been home for that long since I had another rehearsal after school today. The rehearsal wasn't that bad since the Director didn't complain as much. Mr. Rocko no longer feels the need to kill the Director although he did mention jumping from the upper caf at one point, but only if the Director complained too much. I also got my offer of admissions from QU today. That means I got accepted at all the universities I applied to. Mr. Rocko is still waiting to find out if he got into the Radio and Television program at RY. RY is only about an hour and a half from the university I am going to so I will still be able to visit Mr. Rocko some days. I wasn't feeling well earlier today but my stomach is feeling much improved. And people say friday the 13 is unlucky.
