I was hoping (trying? expecting?) to post more often, but so far I have not been doing a good job of that. I'm still trying to figure out how best to go about it all. I am excited about the whole LJ thing because it is nice to have an outlet for the things that I want to say. But for various (unexciting) reasons, I need to do it in a way that preserves a bit of anonymity. As a result, I am overthinking what I can and should say here (even though there aren't that many people who are interested/nerdy enough to do the detective work, and even though I don't imagine it would that hard for those who knew me to know it was me, if they ever looked).
OK, that was way too rambly.
The other reason why I haven't written much is that I have been painting. Painting walls and ceilings, to be precise. When I got the new place, I was really excited to be able to paint it whatever colours I wanted - and I still am, but I have been spending lots of nights and weekends doing it, so the newness has worn off and I have paint splatters and bruises in more places than I would have liked. And I have to keep myself on a punishing schedule for the next few days to finish on time. But I am quite excited by the results so far, despite the fact that my work lacks some professional touches.
I have been seeing shows, almost at my optimal pace of at least two a week, and there have been some good ones in there. My favourite of the past few weeks has been A Prayer for My Daughter at the New Vic, featuring the dazzlingly talented Colin Morgan. I have seen him on stage before, but this was, to use an overused expression, a revelation. I am very excited that he is due to pop up in Doctor Who this year.
