Day 4: I made it through all of Saturday. Around noon I cut a hole in the bottom of my cardboard box TV to make a puppet theatre. With a few socks and marker pens, I found I could make a pretty decent sock puppet for each of the cast of Star Trek: the Next Generation.
Captain Picard says I’m doing a fine job, and if I keep up the good work, he’ll field-promote me to Acting Ensign. I think this is making the Wesley sock jealous, because he won’t appear in my upcoming sock puppet movie. He’ll keep doing the sock puppet conventions, though. The Deanna sock keeps distracting the crew with her low-cut poly-cotton blend, but I think it’s good for morale.
I’m very glad of the puppet shows. Without them, I’d go completely nuts.
