Well, I'm back from Winston-Salem. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, as it were. I get back into town, and am promptly thrust into rehearsal for our next opera (which had already been going for a week). I've been completely lost, trying to play catch up since I got back. It hasn't helped that the stage director is completely disorganized and that we were already days behind schedule when I started. Oh, well. Now we've somehow made it through the final dress rehearsal (incidentally, the first time we've run through the whole show from start to finish), and we open on Thursday. So, fingers crossed -- this will either be a big hit, or a truly spectacular disaster. We'll see...
On a lighter note, one of the assistant stage managers is an old friend of mine that I've had a huge crush on since I've known her. When we met, we were both kind of seeing other people, but there was always a deep emotional connection (as well as an intense sexual chemistry). We've talked a lot about sex -- with each other -- but circumstances conspired against us. We haven't seen each other in over a year, but the connection is as strong as ever. I don't know if it's pheromones or what, but I've seldom ever been this attracted to another person. I just have to be standing next to her in the production office, and all I want to do is scoop her up, run off, and do very naughty things with her. It's very difficult to stay professional. We're going out tomorrow night -- hopefully a nice dinner and a couple of bottles of wine will lead to a long-overdue consummation of our mutual attraction...or maybe part of the thrill is the fact that it's unrequited. Again, we'll see...
