You may have seen how I slathered all over Facebook the fact that Mrs. Hawking was accepted for performance at Arisia 2015! I am so delighted and excited, but also kind of overwhelmed. The performance date is January 16th, the Friday of the con, and I think this will be really great for the property, as the Arisia demographic likely holds people ( Read more... )

So I've had an interesting opportunity arise! I've gotten a modeling engagement in Los Angeles where they are paying for my trip. I will be out in the city next week from Monday to Friday, and I've even gotten an additional job for while I'm out there ( Read more... )

Just a PSA to everyone that I have changed my LJ username from _dragonwolf_ to breakinglight11. This is the current handle I use, so I thought it was time to make this, my most important platform, representative and consistent. If I understand of the process, _dragonwolf_ will redirect here, and all my connections and subscriptions should have carried over. I ( Read more... )

I think now might be a good time to make it clear, in case it isn't already, that I am completely overrun with work right now.

It occurs to me that my show opens exactly two weeks from today. So I am exhausting all venues I can think of to get the word out about it. A Facebook invite has already been setup, but to reach those who read my Livejournal but like myself aren't big Facebook fans, here's the repost of the invitation for you:

To Think of Nothing, directed by Bernie ( Read more... )

Because I haven't worked myself into a good lather yet today, here's a list of some of my biggest pet peeves. And by pet peeves, I mean things that make me want to kill.

Lateness. It's just disrespectful. I swear, it feels like I spend half my life waiting around for people to show up when they said they would. It's doubly annoying when it's ( Read more... )

Lewis talks about how he had always been inclined toward sacrificing all aspects of a state of being, both positive and negative, than having to endure anything negative about that state of being at all. He preferred, for example, abject neglect by others if it meant no mistreatment or interference; he preferred blandness  ( Read more... )
