No fish fashion here.

Today we had a fairly easy rehearsal. It was an evening rehearsal, and most of us only had to be there for the last hour-and-a-half to work on music. But the change of pattern in the schedule made us, uh, a bit unfocused. Take "regular folk" and give 'em all ADD -- that's what actors are like. This could be an interesting week: we're gearing up for tech rehearsals and orchestra rehearsals, and the schedule will get wonky for the next few days.

Meanwhile, here's some good things to know:

1) Exercise is good for your brain --

2) Fish and turmeric (a curry spice) are also good for the brain (if you eat them; there was nothing in the study analyzing the effects of wearing fish or turmeric) --

3) FREAKY -- Ambien (a prescription-only sleeping pill) may be linked to "sleep-driving" --
