If anyone can point me in the direction of a good place to get a decent laptop...that'd be great. It's time, I'm sick of hauling my desktop everywhere I go.

I’ve heard it said before in movies, books, even in real life, that when you feel you should call someone, and then don’t, the longer you wait to call, the harder it gets to call. And then it’s said that “I waited so long, that buy the time I was ready, I just couldn’t, it had been too long”. And I’ve always thought that that idea, to some extent or another, was more or less bullshit.
But you know, it really is true.

My iPod is probably the best investment I’ve ever made. I bought it about a year ago, and there hasn’t been more then….10 days in the past year that I’ve not used it, and that’s being generous. And hell, on some of the days I have used it…like when driving, I’ve used it for upwards of 14 hours in a day.

First review came out for Irma Vep, there should be a few more coming down the pipe eventually.

This is a nice review…because while I’m at grad school a lot of what they want in class is realism, and I can do that…it just doesn’t excite me like this stuff does. I’m an entertainer, a performer at heart, not an actor (though luckily many of the teachers I’m working with now say that that is a good thing, what I do is instinctual and can’t be taught, I can learn the later.) and it’s nice to have the summer to feed that and flex those muscles I can’t use as much while in the oh-so-serious world of grad school.

I had a very surreal moment earlier today…I was walking from campus to my apartment and I came to a road where the road was under construction but the side walk still was open, so I was the only one on the road. I could look in front of myself, and the sidewalk kept going as far as I could see, and I was suddenly filled with this feeling that I could just keep walking. And I don’t mean past my house, but just…forever. Not even that I could, but that I should. Again, the nomad in me sneaks to the foremost part of my brain.

Started reading today, one of the six books I need to ready before classes start again. I started with the book I dreaded reading, one I’d read a number of years ago, Sanford Meisner on acting…and I’m pleased to say it’s not so bad the second time around. Plus I’m obviously a different person now, so I’m taking new things from the book as well.
------
I just can’t take myself anywhere…I need to do the opening night speech Friday for Raisin in the Sun, and I didn’t bring a tie to go with the sports coat I have…and I don’t have pants to go with the other shirt I have…sheesh. Guess I go shopping tomorrow.
------
Now that the show is over, and I’m not dreaming about it every night again, I’m dreaming of new things…well, not even new things, old things that I’d just not thought about in a long while.
Old town, old ghosts.
