Ever get an odd “J” in your email?

I have been getting them a lot lately.

Turns out the person did a smiley with a colon and parenthesis : ) but without the space (had to put a space in so WordPress would not change it into a smiley graphic for me).

And sometimes, an email program turns that into an emoticon using the wingdings font. If your email program (like my Google Mail) does not have wingdings, it gets translated as the capital letter J.

Funny, huh?

By the way, this is my lame attempt to get into blogging again after failing miserably at the 30 day blog challenge from a few weeks ago.  It’s just not that important to me.  I’ll blog when I can and when I have something useful or clever to say.  There.  That’s honest, right.

So, for the two people that might stumble upon this site.  Have a good day!  J

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

// November 25th, 2007 // 0 Comments // Drama, Musical, Production

This week we are set to start full dress rehearsals for this musical. It will also be the first time tech comes into play. There are 18 parts, so to speak (all sung), and we happen to have more than 18 wireless mics after renting some from the local community drama organization. That is a lot of mics, but it does make it nice from the standpoint of not needing to switch mics between actors during the production. That can be a big headache that we won’t have for this production.

Today we are putting the final touches on the stage tech and running through a tech rehearsal with the director, Rene Mauck. She has done a fabulous job, along with Lorene Lewison, in producing an all student cast (except for two roles played by adults). They are using kids from late grade school ages on up through high school students for the production.

We are all excited about it around here and cannot wait to pull it all together this week!
