Long time no update yo
Suffice it to say, it has been a very long time since I posted anything that wasn't a poem or random scribble here in a long while, but I'm in the mood to write and thought I'd make use of this. Things are going really good right now, I'm really happy about where I am as far as grad school, getting ready to bust out my thesis like whoa. It's really nice to be back in New York, I really missed it. I love Fairfax and the whole Northern Cali vibe, but I needed a vacation from my vacation. This summer just drained me, and besides Off Broadway I felt myself not giving it my all with the kids which upset me greatly. I think there was just so much going on behind the scenes this summer that it took up a lot of my energy trying to keep up with it all.
On an unrelated note, although it was happening this summer, my arm and hand continue to improve at an alarming rate. I have an appointment with a neurologist on Tuesday. I just have so many questions, and though I *should* be keeping a diary of some sort to chart my progress, it's just so sporadic and happens at such random intervals that I just have kind of been rolling with it as it were. In consequence to my muscles and bones stretching and otherwise improving, I have been sore as hell as my body changes, especially in my shoulder neck area on my right side as that is where most of the changing stems from. Not that I'm complaining, I mean I am, but it happens. It's more of an annoyance if anything else, mostly because it lasts for a few days at a time, but whatevs.
The two super highlights of this summer were going to see Wicked for the first time in San Fran and going to see the Barenaked Ladies last night at Radio City Music Hall. Both were amazing beyond description. Started reading Contested Will by James Shapiro. I freaking love Shakespeare, and Shapiro is just so brilliant. I've decided that when I do my Ph. D, whenever that shall be I want to study and write on Gender representation and the Feminine in Shakespeare, especially focusing on the use and implication of cross-dressing as plot device and character development. I'm pretty stoked about that, not gonna lie. This is all, of course, tentative as Ph. D land is not near anytime soon. I want at least a year if not 2 to work and get experience teaching *then* I'll go to that magic and scary land....
We'll see, the point of all this is I'm just so grateful to be where I am, and so excited for what is coming next. Also 'In a Lonely Place' is on Crackle now!!! *evil laughter* I can watch it whenever I want! The internets is for the Panda to watch Classic Films!!!!
