Rehearsals for The Usual are going well, we’re having a great time putting it together.  The production team is doing some great work too!  Here are a few shots:

So this would be your basic 8-bit fireball…

I learned a word this week… the Scrabble app for iPad has a fun “teacher” feature, so after you play a turn, it says “Wrong.  You got a few points, but if you had a brain you would’ve done THIS!” and then it shows you how dumb you are.  Apparently it didn’t like my 48 point word (“sizer”, on a triple word score), because “Rhizopuses” would’ve been 99 points. 

Rhizopuses:  plural of Rhizopus – a bread mold, any zygomycetous fungus of the genus Rhizopus.  

And now we know.  And knowing is half the battle.

Lastly, just for fun – this comes from Geek Alert, and it’s got Star Trek and zombies… so how could I not post it?  Check out their link if you’d like to buy it!

“Star Trek III was an excellent movie, but it would have been completely different if zombies were involved. Would it be better or worse? Most certainly better. Zombies make everything better. Now you can imagine how a zombie Star Trek III might have been with this “Star Trap III The Living Dead Search For Spock” Poster.“

And another Wednesday has come and gone.
