"we've decided you're the murderer"
Today we headed out to the Wrights Hill Fortress, a WWII gun emplacement made to stop ships out in the Cook Strait and also a shelter - that was never used because they finished it in 1945. Funnily enough, it's actually in my suburb, but I'd never been up there. The guns are all gone, sold, ironically, to Japan, the country the place was made to ( Read more... ) -
a random Pakeha lady told me I looked "so beautiful (...) like a little China doll" today 8/
One week to opening night! Starting to get nervous; I think I've hit the two week out wall: I'm dropping lines, timing things wrong, forgetting blocking changes, and it's freaking me out aaaaaah.
We watched season one's dress rehearsal last night and it was kind of amazing: One of the boys is very elaborately pretending to do Everything is Going ( Read more... ) -
you know what feels awesome? getting AO3 kudos from someone whose writing you like
ablabsolute's 21st was in the weekend and I had a great time! Good pizza at Big Dogs on Blair :) And it was lovely to catch up with non-theater people.
Obligatory theater babble: We open in two and a half weeks!! And we are barely off-book ahahaha. But it is lovely to have the team back together ;o; and I have my costume! And I accidentally found two perfect ( Read more... ) -
June has kind of been a big month
Summerfolk was kind of brilliant. On the last night we had a full house and extra seats in the galleries!! I love being right there with the audience reacting to stuff; I had this off screen line screaming for a boat and on the last night I actually heard someone worrying about it. It really taught me that acting is such a process, because things ( Read more... ) -
There'll be other stories. I'm up for it!
In the next month I have:- An essay comparing two theater companies from a list (which I was briefly displeased, after my mid-essay rant last year on ethnocentrism in our theater studies, to notice had only two companies that weren't European, American/Canadian, or New Zealand, but naturally I only noticed this far too late to ask if I could write ( Read more... )

#likearesponsibleadult
My actual birthday was a nice quiet chill day, with dinner with the family out at the Flying Burrito Brothers, aka the same place we went to for my birthday last year. I was a cool twenty-one-year-old, wearing my digivice earrings and Guilmon/Pikachu bracelet like a responsible adult (I feel #likearesponsibleadult should become my new Twitter ( Read more... ) -
LET ME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THE SHOW MY CLASS IS PUTTING ON
I like to describe Maxim Gorky's Summerfolk as a bunch of upper middle class Russian douchebags at their bach, whining about their lives just before the Russian Revolution. One of my mates, listening to me and another mate bemoaning our #firstworldproblems (mine was something about an apple IIRC), remarked that "oh god, Summerfolk really can be ( Read more... ) -
21
So my 21st birthday party was tonight! (Actual birthday's not till next Sunday, but this was the only sensible day we could get the venue.) Had it at the James Cook Grand Chancellor, aka where some of my friends' seventh form ball was and my cousin's debut while I was in Florida was. A big, sort of fancy thing - I say "sort of" because I totally ( Read more... ) -
first couple of days of uni 8)
I've had my back X-rayed and hopefully when I visit the doctor again I'll find out the hell went wrong here and how to fix it. I wish she'd hurry up; I'm not looking forward to theater shenanigans with a munted back. :/ At least I'm really light on textbooks this sem: Only one of my classes has a student notes book and it's not too thick (that's ( Read more... )
