It's 3 AM... isn't that a song?
I think it is a song... by like Matchbox Twenty or something...
Anyway, you're probably wondering what the hell I am doing up at 3:00 in the AM... ok, probably not actually, but regardless I'm going to share. Also, this may just serve as my "REAL" post...
The reason I'm up is... I am currently working on a report for my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu class... I know... fun stuff! I don't know, it shouldn't take me too long to write it, now that I have a good amount of the information, but still... I've been having a hard time concentrating on writing... hopefully this shall break that. If not, I have all day tomorrow to write it... but still. I want to get that shit done!! That way it's one less thing to worry about... and one more hour for my nap tomorrow (because yes! I will be taking a nap).
Nickel and Dimed is going fairly well... we're starting to hit the whole "getting close" phase... like we start tech a week from this Saturday... whoa! We open two weeks from today!! CRAZY!!! I'm actually not that worried though... rehearsals seem to be going really well and I actually think I'm doing decent work. Sure, I still have a LONG way to go... but still... I can honestly say that I feel good and that I'm starting to "click" with my character. It's weird though... I've kind of learned a new acting style from my Acting class... the whole, submerge yourself in your character... I know that sounds funny. But for the longest time I feel like I was simply Mikey playing a role... this time I actually feel like I'm a 19 year old Czech boy who barely speaks English or a shy, idealistic nursing home cook.
Not only that... but my directing scene is starting to take some shape! I got my actors... we have yet to block or anything, but tonight's rehearsal went REALLY well... I think. I've realized that I LOVE doing warm-up activities. And I managed to get my actresses to look at things the way I want them to without telling them, "This is what I want... do it this way"... it's a VERY cool feeling!!
Ok... so this might not seem like it relates to the above topic, but it does... dare I say it... I found me a "date" for Homecomming... not like a formal date where we're going to some glamourous ball, however it is just me and her (I think at least) enjoying each other's company (as well as a few drinks) and just chillaxin'... it's probably not worth calling a "date" because it probably won't be like that... however, I am excited to get to know this girl and check out a few things... (Yeah Matt... it is who you're thinking of)
OH!!! Random, awesome story of the night... I was heading down to the green room for my directing scene when I ran into this Fundies girl and she stopped me and was all like, "Hi! I just wanted you to know that my Mom saw you in Poona! I wanted to come see it, but I had a show myself." How flippin' sweet is that! To have a girl I had never met before walk up to me and be like, "My mom said you did well in Poona!" I guess she knows Christina... (The Burfords... I think that's their name?) but anyway... it was kind of cool!
Anyway... I shall write my paper now...
God is love y'all!
Much love!
