Recently was
Recently it has been...well up and down, which doesn't say much. Today was depressing and the day before that was fun and the day before that was really, really fun while book ended with work... details start to blur. There's just been a lot of work on the play and it's keeping me from both the work I want to do and the fun I want to have, all in all leaving me feeling like I'm not running my own life. Running a play is a lot like strapping in to a rollercoaster ride. You have to give yourself over to it. But now this ride has gone on for longer than anticipated and I want off.
A friend from the Internet came out last week to LA and I've gotten to hang out with him twice. It's been very cool. He's a fun guy, good looking, foreign and just generally the right kind of weird to be my friend. That's been the upside. The downside has been keeping myself from blowing my windfall pay for the show.
But without the theatre gig and the friend in town I'm not exactly showing up to my life. I'm not pushing and driving the way I want to be doing. I'm exhausting myself and not organizing my time and energy so that I anticipate this and get my own shit done first.
I did, though, put a small part of my pay toward the getting control end by getting a hair cut. It's the shortest it's been maybe five years, possibly more. And I think I may yet also go pick up some hair dye - purple - and go to that this weekend.
