Grumping

We open in four days. It would be nice if people actually learned their lines (by which, of course, I mean my lines, rather than their own approximation thereof), oh, y'know, even a day or two before that...?

Also, if there is anything more immediately depressing than yet another variation on "this really is very good, but I'm still not going to buy it", I cannot immediately think of it.

Also, Barry has been cutely sitting on my lap in his usual post-breakfast mellow mood. He has now put both paws on my forearm, and is chewing through to the bone. Ouchy.
