Around five, I'm usually getting out of rehearsal for Oliver!, and then I go to work at the video store, where I am now. It's very slow now... we have a mom and her two relatively well-behaved kids finding some Barney stuff, some guy looking at video games, and I think we have somebody in the back room, but I'm not sure. If we had a surveillance camera back there, it might be easier to tell. My co-worker disappeared an hour ago to fill up his gas, my boss called twenty minutes ago to tell me I need to go ahead and get the new releases opened up and in the cases so that they can be put on the shelves on Monday. I also just had an argument with a crazy Russian woman, and for the past eight months I've been forced to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on a loop because it's one of the only discs that restarts itself.

Yeah, it really shouldn't even be called Arthur anymore, I mean nowadays you've got episodes that are all about Buster, or episodes that are all about Binky, or even episodes that are all about talking Pal and Baby Kate!
Well, most of the times I don't really mind if Arthur is not in an episode. It just makes you want more of him. He's not getting overexposed or anything(if that's possible in the Arthur world):smirk: . Besides, me and Buster see eye to eye, we both have asthma.:sympathy:

I have asthma too, but I don't exactly see eye to eye with him... I mean no one treated me like a was a public hazard when they found out I had it... oh and I don't believe in aliens.

I probably identify with George more than anyone: nobody ever really noticed me, and I always was very shy, but I'm also very imaginative and like to work on various little projects, but instead of having a talking giraffe, I have my own little "Muppet" monster.

Well, I don't mean "eye to eye" like me and him are totally alike, I'm just saying that we have a few things in common (one of them being we have asthma). Hope that helps.

Ah, well that's one of the beautiful things about that show - there are SO many different characters, and inevidably SOMEONE out there will be able to identify with ONE of them.

Well, it's the same thing every day, usually.

By the way, my co-worker turned out to have a flat tire, but couldn't call me to help because his phone was dead. It was also raining out, which made me feel bad for not closing up to look for him.

Ah, he's fine. In the hour that he was gone, we only made like twenty dollars, and more than half of that was in people paying late fees, so I probably could have afforded to lock up.

When he walked in, dripping wet from head to toe, a little girl, about four, looked at him and screamed "RAIN MONSTER!" and ran into the back room, which nobody under 18 is allowed in. Her mother dropped everything in her arms, including her purse and about ten DVDs, and ran back to get her, shouting "Caitlin! Only grown-ups are allowed in there! Come back!" She ran in, and then came out with Caitlin under her arm. Caitlin was giggling and saying a certain body part over and over.

That was about 7:30.
