you know how you learn something new every day? today i learned that i can shuffle when i play mp3 discs in my dvd player!!

over the weekend we went to steppenwolf to see homebody/kabul which is truly a great piece of theatre. it's about afghanistan in 1998, and was written by tony kushner. he also wrote angels in america. don't know if you can hot tix there, but if you can afford it you should go see the show. it's 3 1/2 hrs long but it really flies and there are two intermissions to help. and, ray kurut is in it!

after the show we went across the street to an afghan restaurant, called the kabul house, for dinner. afghan food is weird. i filled up on pitas mostly but gamely tried everything that came out of the kitchen except for the lamb stew and the eggplant. the lamb kebob was good and there was this chicken rice thing that was pretty tasty too. i fly home for a week on sat, aug 2nd, and my brother in law wants to go out for ethiopian..

work is still sucking, we're still searching for an artistic director and a td, and a props master for that matter... i talked to a guy today that faxed his resume in for the td position, and he looks really good. sounded really interested on the phone too, we're hooking back up on thursday for any additional questions/concerns. i really hope he takes the job. he sounds like he really has his shit together and he'll make me be better at my job, as much as i might curse him for it. still working on noises off, it's hard.

in other news, um...... i got some new vans for my feet and a gel wrist rest for my keyboard. my right wrist doesn't feel any better, and i'm really hoping it's not some crazy carpal tunnel action... i don't spend my life behind the keyboard and i'm left handed!?!

that's all i got.
