Well, I’ve been MIA for the most part these past few weeks. I think I can say, without much hesitation, that this is the most difficult show I’ve ever done. And not just because it’s 70 pages, 2 people, and 8 characters…this show is tough because as you’re playing the characters you don’t wink at the audience and say “hey, remember that last character, that was me too.” All the characters are fully fleshed out, believe in what they’re doing (no matter how absurd…and god some of it is), and lets not mention that Ludlam himself talked about how there are parts he just wrote that don’t fit into the context of the rest of the play…so it’s our job to make it fit. Tomorrow should tell us the path we’re on when we do the first full run (sans set or costumes) for a small crowd.

Man I’ve been sleeping poorly since I’ve gotten back to Indiana…can’t seem to sleep more then 5 hours…even on days off I can’t stop myself from waking up at 8am. How very odd.

I really want to be a part of something like Red-vs-Blue. It’s going on it’s 5th season now, and it’s still damn funny and creative. I can’t wait till the move into the world of Halo 3. …for that matter, I can’t wait for Halo 3. I want a mongoose!

Church: Show the rookie around.
Caboose: (whispering) Is she a mean girl, or a regular girl?
Church: Caboose, what did I tell you!
Caboose: …there are no regular girls.
Church: Exactly.

There is part of me that longs for a home. And I don’t just mean a place to put all my stuff. I wonder how long this flying Dutchman routine can go on.
This thought or set of emotions spurred by a very long dream I had last night about being the captain of flying Dutchman(no, not the PotC one)? Possible.

And now, for a broad generalization:
If you’re an actor…every parent you meet…all of them…ever…all believe their 3 year old will be an actor too, because they’re so dramatic and loud. And they will regale you with stories of said child, and said antics.

I really wanted to get to Canada to see the Evil Dead musical, but it’s just not gonna happen. :(

I just had to do a talk to an intro to theatre class, on acting process and what have you…and just a reminder…your doing theatre in highschool, or the small amount of professional modeling you’ve done doesn’t make you an actor…any more then my taking shop class, or having built a few bird houses that I sold, makes me a carpenter. Is there any other profession that people are so willing to go “Oh yeah, I thought about doing that, and I totally could have made it if I’d tried…but I decided to be an accountant (or really, interchange accountant with any of a million other jobs) instead…”
Jebus save me.
