DAY 5 (8/31/09): What is happening to my brain?

This is the internet cafe with free WiFi that we hit up every morning. God bless it.

In addition to losing our boom mic mount last night, I managed to lose one of our power adaptors IN OUR ROOM. We got back to the hotel room and there were new sheets and towels on our bed. I put the fresh bed condom on my mattress pad, and then I swear to sweet baby Jesus that I took the 2 camera battery chargers and the 2 adaptors out of my bag and put them all on my bed. 5 minutes later when I went to look for it there was only 1 adaptor left. I searched the entire room - NOTHING. It was late - we were tired - there was limited light - so I just told myself I'll find it in the morning and went to bed. In the morning I literally take the room apart - bed condom, sheets, mattress, luggage, etc - and STILL NOTHING!! WTF!!! Somehow it managed to VANISH INTO THIN AIR. Somewhere there is a round black power adaptor laughing at me.

Then I spent all day in the hotel room again uploading footage, and discover that there is just no need to run 3 cameras at rehearsal. No need at all. And that watching and listening to the same 3 hour rehearsal 3 times is enough to make my brain swimmy. Around the 3rd or 4th tape I start sleeping while it's uploading. Note to self: letting my brain fall asleep only to wake it up over and over again every 59 minutes can cause additional brain swimmy-ness. Now I know how all those people on LOST felt about pushing that button.

Chad and Joe come back from shooting a 6 hour rehearsal, and what's magically in the camera bag? THE POWER ADAPTOR. Yeah, apparently I left it at the rehearsal hall. --insert applause--

We've been buying these chocolate eggs from the 24 hour grocery store everyday since we've been here. They are a chocolate shell (yum!) with the plastic container on the inside (how do they do that?).

Inside each plastic container there is a surprise toy. Here are all the ones we've collected so far:
