For instance, I wanted to write about my new-found fascination with astrology. Not as a be-all end all, this is what you're supposed to be, this is what is supposed to happen, but I find that an in-depth chart reading can be an interesting tool for self-exploration. Well, I hope it will be. My chart is being read for free, but it won't be for a little while, since the woman who does them for fun has quite the wait list. Probably will happen sometime in the next couple of months. Maybe. I'm curious to see what "the stars" have to say about my fabulous self.
It hasn't been all television and internet surfing. I've managed to go and see quite a bit of theatre as well, which has been lovely. Hello, Dolly! opened at the 5th Ave, which was great. Got to see the Friends and Family for Stunt Girl at Village Theatre which was surprisingly good, considering how much I disliked the reading of it. Have also see two shows that are competing for the High School Awards. My love, CC is an evaluator, and since her husband is in Stunt Girl, I got to be her date. The last one we saw happened on the same night as Stunt Girl opening, so we crashed the party, which was awesome. I can't wait to start a new show.
I really miss getting to be a part of the Education department, so I'm determined that next year I will be at least a pinch-hit evaluator. I think I'd be pretty good at it, considering that my job for three years was to read all of the evaluations ever written for the high school awards. Sure, I never saw the shows, but I know the kind of comments they are looking for, and the kind of scores people give. Besides, while I may be only a year out of college, I've spent the last four years working in the professional theatre in a ton of different capacities. I've even performed, at least on the amateur level. Now let's hope the Education people see it that way.
Speaking of performing, I did audition for Auntie Mame at the Driftwood Players. It was only after the fact that I realized that there wasn't a chance in hell I could do it. You see, the play opens April 17th, and the big honking Gala, the biggest event in our department of the year, is the 18th. There's no way to get out of the Gala for the performance. I was sad, and trying to think of ways to make it work, but in the end, I'm glad it didn't. I can relax, and have fun and not stress about my schedule for the next month and a half before Showboat starts. But for those who are curious, I did get called back, for Gloria Upson and Pegeen. If Gooch had been in the mix, it would've been harder to say no, but there ya go. It wasn't meant to be. Or something.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I'm trying to resist the whole Twitter thing. I'm on facebook so often it's a little ridiculous. However, I feel like I might start one when I start working on Showboat. You know, like a backstage Twitter. Oh I know one has to be careful when discussing backstage shenanigans, because you never know who's reading. Still, I feel like it might be fun, and I can talk about interesting things without divulging too much information. I know that that's not apparent here (interesting, I mean, my blog posts I know are not interesting). We shall see.
In the meantime, I'm going to catch up on Arrested Development and other shows that I haven't been watching during the week.
Peace, love, and quirkiness.
