The "choo-choo-choose you" valentine episode of the Simpsons was on tonight. Classic.
Some random thoughts/ideas/questions:
1. Tomorrow is the 17th valentine's day my wife and I will share. Our first was not too long after we were engaged, at a restaurant called "The Classical Pig" that used to be where the health food store (next to Starbucks) near my school is located. It was one of the only non-smoking restaurants in town at the time, and when it closed, I spent about a year trying to replicate the amazing dill cream salad dressing they had.
2. I make stupid mistakes when I'm overtired--which is always these days. Already I've screwed up by twice printing the wrong colours for the wrong days' tickets--fortunately each time it was caught before more than a few were sold. Today it was yet another, worse, situation--we have these wood window covers in the theatre (it wasn't built to be a full-time theatre, but we made it one) and we take them down and paint promo stuff about our show on them each year. This year we didn't properly mark them when we took them down and so the people who painted them didn't get them the right way up, or in the right order, so they have to be redone. I'm sooo not going to be popular with those folks tomorrow.
3. Ella--if you're reading this--how many feet of snow where you are? I've seen some crazy pictures from upstate NY the last few days.
4. This morning, far too early for such things, I had the truly lovely experience of having a small camera shoved up through my nostril and to the back of my throat. Bleah. One of the specialist's suggestions was i should get one of those microphones some teachers with voice troubles use to speak. Yeah right. Why don't i just paint "loser" on my forehead as well. Yes, I know trying to get the attention/focus of 60 teenagers (when about 14 of them have musical instruments) is tricky, but there's a certain stigma about those mics...
5. I heard someone singing the "Sometimes people make a war" yesterday in the booth. Honest.
6. I got tickets to Jesse Cook for my better half for Valentine's day. If you don't know who he is, head to google. He's touring in Florida right now, so these tickets aren't going to be used 'til May.
7. Now that damn "Sometimes people make a war" thing is stuck in my head. I need to go listen to Backstreet Boys or something.
8. I kind of want chocolate tomorrow. Here's hoping...

It's more than I would like (calf deep upon arrival at work last night, probably tons more now as it just keeps coming), but thankfully we didn't get 5 or 6 feet like some others.
I hope you had a great Valentine's Day (and that you got chocolate)!
Here's a question for you: Can the word "theatre" also be spelled "theater," because I've seen it spelled both ways in published books, etc. but I myself have always thought it was correctly spelled "theatre," the way you had it.
In Canada, we tend to use the British spelling of many words, such as theatre, centre, colour--
Theatre is one that has a lot of use in the U.S. as well, I've noticed--perhaps some people think it seems "classier" or something. Either is considered correct by most people.
Thanks. That clears things up for me. Until now, it has always confused me. :)
