Hey, folks! I'm still alive, I just spend all my time in rehearsals right now. Or writing. Or going to the theatre, because the lovely bf is undergoing something of an arts-journalism renaissance these days and has press tickets falling out of his adorable jug-handle ears.
Rehearsals for what? you ask. Well, several things -- and the first thing is this weekend!
