Everyone is in this movie! It's nuts! Ted Danson! Kristen Bell! Drew Barrymore! John Krasinski! The Leader Tim Blake Nelson! Presumably people I know from Anchorage in bit parts! (My Shakespeare mentor was Danson's stand-in ( Read more... )

Things that are official (FINALLY):

Bad Hamlet is going to the Last Frontier Theatre Conference.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

What the actual hell, it's 36 degrees and raining. In Anchorage, AK. On December 31.

Damn yooooou climate chaaaaange.

I confess it feels a little odd to me to be getting all activist-y up in here. Maybe you can blame the fact that I escorted at Planned Parenthood yesterday and watched a couple dozen people -- those I agreed with and those I didn't -- exercise their right to free speech.

HEY GUESS WHO GOT A JOB.

As of Feb. 1 I will be a telemarketer Volunteer Recruitment Coordinator for the local branch of the Muscular Dystrophy ( Read more... )
