Going to see Something Corporate August 18th. I'm ridiculous amounts of excited. I mean, I've seen Jack's Mannequin, but I fell in love with Something Corporate first and I thought I'd never have a chance to see them, but now I am and I can't wait. I almost chose to go all the way to Arizona since my birthday is August 23 and that show is on the 22nd. I was totally going to be like "So, Andrew, as of ten minutes ago, the government recognizes me as twenty-one years old. Drinks on you, right?" But plane ticks are insane and I'm paranoid about driving long distances and my classes start on the 23rd anyway.
I'm planning on requesting he sing Happy Birthday to me at the Arizona one, though. :| Or Down (first song of Andrew's I ever heard) or Walking By and dedicating it to me. Yus.
We closed the 3 x Tenn two days ago! \o/ Not my best work at all, but I stole a copy of Suddenly Last Summer and my scene partner's brother told me I looked fifteen, so yay.
Speaking of theatre and classes, the "new space" is finished and I went and wandered around yesterday. Everything's so new and shiny and lovely and as soon as I get a new camera and/or phone, I'm going to go back and take pictures of both the old space and the new one to give actual perspective as to why this is so exciting.
I'm picking up an angst prompt, and it looks like it's going to be a massive project for me which means it will never be finished ever. I don't know what's wrong with my attention span. Scripts, I can have entire monologues memorized within the hour. Maybe not word-for-word, but a rough idea of where I'm going. I was bored backstage (the show was set up "This Property is Condemned" [my show, ~20-30 minutes], "Something Unspoken" [~20-30 minutes], Intermission [10 minutes], "Suddenly Last Summer" [~one hour and twenty minutes], Curtain Call), so I ended up downloading an app for logic grid puzzles (my favorite type of logic/grid puzzle) to my iPod and I finished all of them in a day.
But I can't study and I can't sit down and write and finish a story. I don't know.
Finally quitting my coffeeshop job. I love the work, don't get me wrong, but that atmosphere was getting so hostile. I wanted to go work for Starbucks, but I really don't have time to chase around their managers. I've called about four times in the past week and every time have been told the managers will be in "tomorrow between ten and two", and that's if they're not on vacation for a month, as has happened twice for the same store. So, instead, I'm taking a job at the Waffle House where even if I only get two shifts a week, that will still be more hours than I'm getting in a month at the Coffee Beanery. Also, we get biweekly checks at CB. Where I used to be pulling almost $400 per check, I now am at $73, apparently. I could make that in a single night working the Waffle House (yay tips.)
