So that&#8217;s what I did Monday and Tuesday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday I had dinner with my dad at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/shan-dong-restaurant-oakland\">Shan Dong<\/a> (a tiny restaurant in Oakland).  He lives in Auburn so I don&#8217;t see him very often.  Lately I&#8217;ve been recording stories about his childhood on my memo recorder that dumps to .WMA files.  I&#8217;m trying to figure out how to get them transcribed easily; like feed them into Dragon or something.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Click and drag this image to the post editor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html%3FASIN=B000G6BLGK%26tag=ghosthouse01-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=\/o\/ASIN\/B000G6BLGK%253FSubscriptionId=1N9AHEAQ2F6SVD97BE02\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/418M74CH29L._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"117\" \/><\/a>THEN, on Thursday, at work we had a big &#8220;fire drill&#8221; where a large client came in to inspect the company.  I had to make a presentation, which I then didn&#8217;t get to do because of changing plans.  Then, that night, Diane and I had a big party at my house for actor <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0787587\/\">Gary Shail<\/a>, who had a small part in <strong>Shock Treatment<\/strong>, which is the sequel to Rocky Horror Picture Show.  The cast that plays in San Francisco is Bawdy Caste, and Diane is a player there.<\/p>\n<p>Gary Shail flew in from the UK to make a special appearance, so Thursday was his welcome party.  It was a potluck, so everyone brought food and booze; we actually netted alcohol.  Then next night was the show (Shock Treatment) at the Clay, which was very good.  Well, the movie was ghastly.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Click and drag this image to the post editor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html%3FASIN=B000055XMF%26tag=ghosthouse01-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=\/o\/ASIN\/B000055XMF%253FSubscriptionId=1N9AHEAQ2F6SVD97BE02\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51M6G40E7PL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"110\" \/><\/a>But the cast was very good.  They had all the costumes and choreography.  Gary Shail did a little bit of improv at the beginning.\u00c2\u00a0 Incidentally Gary Shail is also in Quadrophenia, which might be a more stomachable movie.<\/p>\n<p>The events manager for the Clay Theater was very impressed with Bawdy Caste&#8217;s performance, and apparently <a href=\"http:\/\/www.peacheschrist.com\/\">Peaches Christ<\/a> saw the show (sort of in disguise, since he was wearing street clothes and was therefore a he).<\/p>\n<p>Then, yesterday I took a training class at <a href=\"http:\/\/techshop.ws\/\">Tech Shop<\/a> to learn how to use the embroidery machine.  Looks like I have to convert some graphics to vector in order to do them justice.<\/p>\n<p>And TODAY&#8230; I get to go to work.  We&#8217;re doing a deployment for a different client we sold something to.  I think it&#8217;s going to be a lot of me sitting around.  I am there from 2pm until potentially after midnight.  One of these took until 4am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My schedule is sort of brutal recently &#8211; I get up around 7am and work on film editing until about 9, when I go to work.
