Tropical Tropical Heat Wave
I'm really, really ready for it to be less hot now. We've been here in the Bay Area for five and a half years now, and I've actually become acclimatized to the weather. I've grown used to having sweater season be brief. I've come to consider 85 degrees as "nice weather". But I will never be at peace with enduring 100+ degree heat. It just makes my brain melt.
It also makes me cranky with the world in general, and especially with actors who are being difficult. As Stage Manager, I'm supposed to keep my cool, but when an actor tells me defiantly during notes that he's not going to say his lines correctly AND the AC is off in the theatre for some random reason, it's very, very hard not to whip out the starter pistol and fire blanks at his head.
Sweet, sweet Tanqueray. My ice-cold friend.
