Two Things

And you're looking at them.*

Painted nails for Tartuffe in "Twisted Pink," and MY BRAND NEW LAPTOP. Look at that glorious wide screen. We ordered it just before the market went all hooey, when things like money and stock and our bank still existed. My old laptop stopped running Flash for some reason and then started doing other really annoying things, so Dave's solution was to buy me a new one. The old one came to live with us in 2004**, so it's time for a new one anyway.

The funniest part of all this, however, is that I currently possess three laptops. Small portable, old one and new one. Dave only owns two. I have never before had more computers than he has, and it's chaffing just a bit, I think.

Anyway, exhausted, heading to school to write some assignments and do some grading and hopefully see students during my office hours. And hopefully to NOT nap as I inadvertently did yesterday. It was a nice nap, but it cut into my productivity rather significantly, given my current limited availability.

Oooh! Painted nails are always fun. Good luck maintaining that manicure through the run of the show. I'm horrible about chipping polish.

I wanted to wish you "Break a Leg"ness for the upcoming run of the show. You will be FABULOUS, I am sure. Did you ever find appropriate boob-riggin? Hope so. I was thinking, though---I assume things like that are readily available because I live near Dallas. Normal, non-plastic-surgery-capitals-of-the-south probably don't have such an array of oddities on every corner. Regional differences, huh?

Actually, I found a push-up bra that is one of the most comfortable things I have ever worn. And they did a whole bunch of technology on my costume. As of last night, I was firmly and securely held in place. What a difference that made!

The manicure is actually horrible. My right index finger got smeared and bubbled (which is why my left hand is the subject of the photo). Fortunately, you can't see any of that from stage. But it's already chipping because I only used the polish. There's no undercoat or seal coat on it. I have the whole bottle, though, so I can touch it up as I need to.
