Been working on Lady, Be Good! It's surprisingly good. The director, while loosey goosey at times, is very competent when it comes to running a fast moving ship such as a silly comedy from the 1940s. Good for him.

I've been lack about posting here, simply because it's been the day to day shit of looking for jobs, and feeling sorry for myself for not getting a pretty great, pay for everything in my life, gig, but after a heart to heart with Monica, I realize now that's not the way to go through things; too bad it took me 2 years to fully understand that this time is my own, and I should be using it to improve myself. Example: I have an apple and some toast for breakfast, rather than my waffle concoction.

Also, just found out I was accepted for health insurance at Kaiser. Yay? There goes 100+ bucks down the drain every month that I don't have, plus stamps. I don't know why stamps bugs me, but in this age of wireless payment and shit, why can't I just pay the fucking thing online. You'd get the money quicker, and I'd not have to go buy stamps. Fuck stamps.

Anyway. Looks like I'll have to ask for money to pay for my health insurance. Why do we have to pay for it again? Wow, looks like this semi positive jaunt back into the writing world turned into something bitter. Better start thinking positive again.

Gets way too rambly

The Miser is going well! We had a very awkward audience tonight, which fucked everyone up, even the old pros like me. Since we only had one preview, we still don't know when people will laugh, and therefore when people do, it'll drown out the next lines. Acting 101, but everyone forgets it every now and then.

So yes, the show's going well. And since I'm less stressed, I think I have less inclination to sleep, and therefore my insomnia is coming back in full force! Sitting here, typing this, after trying to sleep for 3 hours. How fun is that? Tea? Doesn't work. Pills? Don't work. So far, the only thing that's worked is NyQuil, but damn if I'm not going to use a medicine that also fights pain that I don't have.

At least I get to catch up on Legend of the Seeker. Good show, even though I think those fighters should tie up their hair. Too easy to pull on. Still, I'd much rather be a wizard than a fighter. Zedd rocks. I guess I am kind of tired; this writing is making less and less sense to me.

MISER

Eating pizza, thinking about The Miser. Gonna be a great show! Ross Valley Players. Don't miss it.

The run through last night was a little awkward for me, mostly because I did some exploring with my character. And in this late in the game, that's awkward rather than exploratory. But at least I know what not to do, hm?

It's going to be great though. And going out last night with the cast was fun! I ate my WHOLE BURGER. That's what tech will do to you.

After a bazillion years of rehearsal, The Miser is going to open next week! Which is amazing, because we need a fucking audience. It's at the point where the production team isn't laughing anymore, so us as actors think we're doing terrible things, tempting us to change everything that's been working for weeks... lately it takes my concentration not to change what's been working. I know that what I've been doing is good, it's just disconcerting sometimes.

So in the meantime, I've been playing with my new PS3 and loving it! Yes yeah yeeeesshhshhh! I could go into a debate as to whether or not the 360 is better or worse than the PS3, but let's just say that I'm happy with the selection that my loved ones gave me this holiday season. There's some great things that come from Christmas. Yay consumerism!

Awesome!

I have rehearsal in 10 minutes

There are a fantastic amount of wonderful activities that have been going throughout my life at the moment. The most fun being The Miser, and the mostest fun being my memories of New York that are still quite fresh in my mind. What a wonderful trip. It's good being back, and more fun still that I'm going to go to Vegas tomorrow (I'm trip happy at the moment), but the thoughts of NYC still linger in my mind. It's still weird to drive.

Speaking of which, I really need to pack my bags for the trip. And I really need to get to rehearsal. It's going to be an interesting show, I'd imagine. Very community theatre, but at least I know I'll be terrific. As if that really matters in this area.

So I went to New York City. It was probably one of the best vacations I've ever been on.
