a rare update post
i started rehearsals for a theatre troupe that will be performing at Irvine's Great Park [http://www.ocgp.org] on July 12 and every friday and saturday night from August 2-Sept 27 before the concert series. it looks like they're really putting a lot of effort into making the park a groovy summer hangout, so i suggest you come check it out. oh, and eveyrthing's FREE. parking, admission, everything.
anywho. the troupe is called Flight Crew, and we're basically atmospheric theatre doing skits and maneuvering airplanes on poles all around the park to general amusement. it's all company-generated material, though, i'm a bit.....apprehensive...to see how it all turns out. i'm with a REALLY talented and seasoned cast, though, so hopefully they'll kind of hold my hand at the outset here. because frankly, I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I'VE GOTTEN MYSELF INTO.
but! positive thinking! it's a whole new area of theatre i've never done before!
expand those acting chops!
and i get paid!
and i don't have to spend 6 days a week at Medieval through the summer!
it's a win-win-win situation!
--as for the rest of my undoubtedly amazing and jealousy-inducing life, i'm still princessing at MT, where my work has been heralded as "nice", "good", and "hey, can you cover for me on Thursday?"
--my kitten, Moocow Cupholder [Hammerpants Nomnom Zendejas] is a nom-ing fiend, but has lately taken to spending at least some of her sleeping moments in bed with me. until she decides it's time once again to start eating my face. and my legs, back, arms, ears....but i love that scrawny little bundle of fur very much, and she makes this bachelorette pad feel a little less lonely. well, the booze helps too.
--living alone has been....interesting. it's nice to come home and know that the only dishes in the sink are MINE, and to be able to decorate however girly-ly i want (see: moroccan-inspired canopy over the couch), but i'm not going to say it's all peaches and cream. i get lonely. but that's what internet porn is FOR, right? wait, what was that last part?
--no theatrical prospects on the horizon. shut up, i'm working on it.
--not a whole lot going on in the lovelife department, though i'm certainly not going out of my way to attach myself to anyone--it's more of a let-the-cards-fall-where-they-may thing, but i keep feeling like my crushing ineptitude at this makes it more of a 52-card-pickup thing. the whole singledom thing is brand-new (wtf? they changed the rules in the last decade? no one told me this!), scary, and exciting, and i'm kind of enjoying it. i know i've made an ass of myself numerous times since late March when the self-imposed singledom took off--sometimes to the point where i wake up in the middle of the night and go 'oh crap, that was soopah retahded' and cringe--but i seem to have made it out relatively unscathed. c'mon, give me a break, boys, i haven't done this since high school. can i have a do-over? please? anybody? no? we don't do that anymore?
--weightloss is.....ongoing. i'm currently stabailizing around 146. which, to my credit, is a full 10 pounds less than when i firststarting working at MT (in January), but i'm not as disciplined as i was. being in an aggravating relationship apparently is a GREAT motivator to get off your ass and into the gym. funny how that works. since when did i have to make the choice between being sad and skinny and fat and happy?
--the trip i won on Bingo American to Cabo is going down July 28th-August 2. Erika and I have dubbed it Tequilafest 2008. i apologize to the Mexican National Guard and anyone who will be bombarded with my sloppy/slobbering Spanish while i'm there.
that's about it. love yo face.
