DINNER 60: Wednesday, March 1, 2006

I didn’t have rehearsal tonight, but Wendy did — their first read-through of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. She’s playing Audrey, and I’m very proud of her for landing that role. She’ll be awesome. Since time was rather tight between me arriving at home after work…

This evening was a stay-at-home night, a rarity when we’re both involved with shows. We stayed in, nestled on the couch and enjoyed pizza and calzones from LaRosa’s.

Tonight’s dinner was a small one. We stayed home and watched some television and ate food that was around. I had cereal for dinner — Captain Crunch. Yum.

DINNER 64: Sunday, March 5, 2006

Tonight was Oscar night. Chuck & Kristy were kind enough to host an Oscar party at their house and asked everyone to bring something to share. We baked a Brie (the tops of which Wendy decorated with a cut-out Oscar statue and a movie camera on a tripod). Dinner was food from the communal table.

The Oscars were good, if a little flat and unexciting. I was impressed to see that the attire was overall of a higher quality than in previous years. I didn’t see any outfits that were terrible. There was very little in the way of political rhetoric, and no one was an idiot this year.

Now we just have to see the movies… We’ve seen Brokeback Mountain, but that’s about it. Hopefully, we’ll fix that soon!

DINNER 65: Monday, March 6, 2006

Since we had rehearsal for DINNER WITH FRIENDS, the show I’m directing for Falcon Theater, this evening, I made a quick run to McDonald’s for some chicken strips and a salad. Simple meal, not very tasty, though the McDonaldland Cookies were good. Â
