awash in a sea of blood

Once again I find myself in a state of stupor due to the overload
of work.
This week I worked just 15 minutes short of 70 hrs.

This is actually common for technical rehearsal week.
But the main reason I worked so long is the blood.
Yep, rivers of stage blood. You see, one of the actors in this production
gets "shot ".
And our director REALLY likes to see his actors bleed.
Sooooooo, we have two large bags of blood concealed on his person.
We also have a pipe in the floor that has pressurized blood
set to release. AND we have a little blood pack that he slaps against
his neck.

The result? Blood Everywhere.
We scrub it out of the costumes, we scrub it off the floor ,
we scrub it off the damn walls.

Really , it's a very strange life I lead.

But in five days I will be in Burbank.
This will be my mantra for the week.
