I am putting a couple books on hold while I reread the His Dark Material's trilogy. I wasn't going to reread anything for this project, but I've been wanting to reread these books for over a year now, and with being so busy, it's a bit easier to reread something then to start something new. So a couple books are on hold now, and I'll go back to them when things are less busy.
Who knows when that will be, though. I just took on a gig being co-props master at Penumbra for The Whipping Man. I'm excited about it - very interesting script, very challenging work, but also a very short time frame and a very demanding director. I'm hoping that since there's two of us working on it, we'll be able to cover our bases and get things done. And it'll be over by the beginning of March one way or another, so there's that. It does mean I'm not likely to get a head start on the upstairs offices like I was hoping to do, but that's okay.
I'm really looking forward to J&H opening. I have a couple more details to finish up before it opens, but hopefully that will be it. We'll see what the last couple previews produce. I'll be glad when it's on it's feet and I can stop worrying about getting things perfect. Blargh.
Caligula continues to go well. We had a good production meeting last night. A little long, maybe, but considering we had canceled last weeks because of the snow, it didn't seem inappropriately long. Lots to talk about, lots figured out.
Justin is going to take up the role of the second guard/poet in Caligula, which should be nifty. I know he is excited to work with Walking Shadow, and was worried that they wouldn't ever really consider him if I was working on a show because of worries that it would be awkward having the two of us work together. This should demonstrate whether we're up to the task or not. I think we are. I really like this particular group of people, so it will be nice to have him know them all, too.
I have two knitting projects I'm also trying to complete, but not finding time to do so. I keep searching for a routine, but missing it. Maybe someday.

Yay! Your doing Whipping Man! whoo hoo! Actually no one ever told me that you had actually signed on! YAY!
Yay! to Justin for being a Guard!
Gah! I forgot to thank you for the recommendation! I still haven't signed the paperwork, but yeah, I'm on it. Sounds like it'll be fine for me to help get everything together, and then let Rebekah cover the tech rehearsals. I'm hoping it works out.
Thank you!
