12 of 12 April 09
Hello the end of April 12th. :) I'm sooo ready to sleep. Today's 12 of 12 is an all in-house version, but a busy day, nonetheless. Not sure what 12 of 12 might be? Please stop by Chad Darnell's site for all the info. He created it and he's a badass. Please consider joining us next month! It's ever so much fun to see what's going on all over the world on a single day. :)
8:19am: How Thwok helps with the clean towels. She also helps like this with papers. She keeps things from floating away. I appreciate that about her.
8:48am: Redoing show order for the Cricket Feet Showcase based on yesterday's Last Looks. A giant logic puzzle! Thank you, graphics goddess, Shelley Delayne, for redoing the program... again!
1:10pm: Catching up on TiVoed 90210 while outlining tomorrow's column. Showcase show order is now locked, and I'm just so dang glad that they finally did a rerun of the 90210 that came before all of the other episodes I had stashed in the TiVo. Finally! I could catch up. Man, this show is dripping with... 90210-ocity.
2:56pm: Lunch! Gluten-free vegan pumpkin tortellini w/ beet purée from Planet RAW. I love that there's not a single thing on their menu I can't have! Deeeelish!
4:03pm: I did a workshop with Osbrink for a visiting group of young actors. This lovely bottle of Marilyn Merlot (LOL, right?) is a gift from the Atlanta Workshop Players. I was an AWP kid. So much fun to connect with them on "the other side" now. I'll open this after the column is turned in. Heh!
5:31pm: Going through email at my Showfax account for tomorrow's "Self-Produced Clip of the Week." Lots to choose from!
6:59pm: Now Keith takes a break from online house hunting to hear me read tomorrow's column before I turn it in. I like to run everything past someone, out loud, to be sure I'm saying what I want to say. ;) Yes, this is why the most common feedback I get about my writing is that it "sounds" like me. It's workshopped aloud.
8:22pm: Time to sample the post-column Marilyn Merlot and 175 calories of pistachios. Excellent snack!
8:47pm: Ooh, hurry back, awesome intern. Mail overflows! (Plus, we miss you.)
9:41pm: Free to a good home: Panasonic KX-FPG391 phone/fax/copier/talking caller ID thingy. Seriously. We've been liberated of landline living (and have made Nancy--my original iPhone--our forever home phone, wherever we live) and that means this contraption is FREE to a good home! The talking caller ID is my favorite part. :) C'mon... want it? It's yours. Or it's out in the alley for some tinkerer to pick up.
10:27pm: The end of my 12of12, but not the end of my day. A nice, hot shower. Yum! Long day tomorrow that ends with a fun speaking engagement to actors and filmmakers. I'm feeling bed soon. But there's still work to do... so...
As always, thanks, everyone, for stopping by. And thank you, Chad, for another lovely 12 of 12 experience. Keep on rockin', everyone! :)

Can you post a link to this guy Chad's Site... I would love to know about this 12 of 12. Sounds like a cool idea.

That Punkin' tortellini looks great - I'm in!
Yes, Marylin Merlot is funny.
Looking forward to the Showcase!
Try Craigslist free for the fax dealio if you get no takers here.

Oh dear God... I totally forgot about the Extra Padding t-shirts!!

OK, I have to try Marilyn Merlot. I love wine with cute names like that, although I'm frequently disappointed by the actual quality of the vintage. (However, I can recommend the 7 Deadly Zins if you ever run across it.)
Pets are handy as paperweights. My dog likes to help mop the floor ... specifically with the "getting it wet beforehand" part.
Nice 12!

Got to love the Marilyn Merlot. Too bad you can't get Thwok to help with your mail. As long as you didn't have her declawed, she should be able to help open them at least.

Yeah, our cats like to help with the laundry and papers that way, too. :)
I saw Marilyn Merlot in a shop the other day. I'll have to try it!
Nice photos!

David--The link to Chad's site is in the first paragraph of this entry. Just click on his name. :)
Lipp--It's sooo yummy! Thanks for your support of the showcase. Found a taker on the fax/phone thingy on Facebook. Woo!
Katy--I wish I could forget. Keith LOVES his. *rolls eyes*
Chris--7 Deadly Zins sounds GREAT! Totally my kind of thing. LOL And yes, what is it with pets and holding things down for us? They're so... helpful.
Gary--Good point about Thwok helping opening the mail. LOL She tends to like chewing on the corners of things. It's like she's creating braille. :)
Linda--Isn't that kind of them? LOL
Thanks for visiting, everyone! Sorry I was so late on getting back to comment. :) I blame Twitter.
