mom, the last part has foul language but the first part is about the little mermaid

Today fulfilled a childhood dream. I got to see the little mermaid statue that inspired the fairytale and classic Disney movie.

So we’re in copenhangen and inbetween rehearsals me shaunacy kim mashawn Janelle and jeff sneak out and walk to the coast to see this little statue. We get to this place there there a moat, defense walls, an old cottage style town, a swamp (just like the kiss the girl scene) and ducks and all that stuff. It was crazy, we walk around…the wrong way…and then find out way to the statue. Its maybe the size of a small woman. Just this little mermaid perched on a rock right by the shore. She looks really sad and is kinda slumped over with her finned legs crossed and to her side. She’s a little fatter than the Disney version and looks like she’s crying. Maybe that cause in the real story she dies and prince eric isn’t NEARLY as hot. But it was nuts seeing it. I’ve wanted to see the statue since I learned in existed and today I finally got to see it. We jumped in the water, climbed the rocks and took our pics with her. I named her ariel.

Other than ariel it was a pretty uneventful day. Shit tons of rehearsals, boat drill, opening night bumper show and soon I head back to more rehearsals. At least they feed us right. Oh well, today makes the first day of a new cruise and that means only 5 more. I’m not counting down or nothing. Also and lastly, Ricardo left today. I just happened to see him leave the ship from the gangway and he blew me a kiss. I miss that guy. But he was wearing an ugly shirt so it made the goodbye less painful. It was gross…orange brown and white longsleeve rugby style shirt. Clearly he wasn’t thinking and had packed all his cute stuff.

P.S. here’s something i haven’t done in a hot minute…vent. So we’re on our changover with the new girl..basically blocking and putting her into to all the shows. 1st thing 1st, ho could be a little more on her game. 2nd and most importantly…WE HAVE TWO MONTHS LEFT. NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO COME IN AND TELL US WE’VE BEEN DOING THINGS WRONG FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS. We were taught some of these shows by 8 different people and if you are just now realizing people are doing different things maybe you should just LEAVE IT THE HELL ALONE. Rehearsing 12 hours a day and then in the last hours of the morning getting told you’re wrong when you know you’re right really pisses people off. This is the case with the lovely Rotterdam cast. The majority of the notes of our last run tonight at midnight of our Broadway show were for us, not the new girl. The fuck man? Why did it take 4 months to realize we’re doing it differently. This is bullshit. I’m so irritated right now I’m on the verge of just not caring. We’ve had 3 changovers this contract and frankly that’s 2 too many. Each time a new teacher comes and reteaches certain parts. Adding an “and count” or holding a full count here and there really makes you go crazy and only makes things sloppier cause people usually don’t remember those pain in the ass fucking details. Mash has shut down and stopped talking to people. Shaunacy and kim are just annoyed, tired, and hungry. Nitty is on the verge of cutting a bitch. I’m to the point of just saying thank you and looking the other way. Or what I did tonight and joking tell the teacher to check the tapes and then she does and then the note I was given has now been taken back cause I was right or whatever. Jeff is just there. Peter still can’t really take a note but is over it. and stissy is pissy. We’re in the home stretch of this contract and the last thing we need is to be relearning the shows. That’s what I’m getting at. The end. I need to stop.
