As the summer adventure comes to an end....

I find myself actually happy. I've returned to my love and affection for comic books, I'm living and breathing art in my work, and I have a woman I love who loves me. I'm almost completely all packed for my last big road trip for a while and I cant help but wonder how other people do the regular job with the regular life. Sure they have their excitement here and there and I'm sure they love what they do but I just couldn't see myself doing and enjoying anything else but theatre. Well I feel like I"m being philosophical and particularly not informing of my life. So. I added a thingy at the bottom of the page that shows my recent portfolio pictures from Deviant Art.com. I will be driving to Richmond tonight to see Marley tomorrow and then I'll leave there for Orlando where I will work for 8 months!!! Exciting I know. There will be a few people I get to catch up with and oh yeah, I actually got featured in yesterday's Deviant Art Daily. link here. They call me a she instead of a he but what can I do, costuming is considered "women's work" by the artist community but that is a completely different tangent that I don't need to get into. Talk to you guys latah.

Off to the Races!!! or the Ascot Gavotte... take your pick

Sitting in rehearsal for My Fair Lady, doing my Wardrobe Supervisor duties, I wonder why in god's name do I work musicals. Mostly I enjoy being here because of Marley. She has easily become my favorite thing about the middle of nowhere Indiana. That and well, the Vinyl record store and the comic book shop of awesome. I miss my past life less and less each day and I'm glad I'm done with Elon. Working "professional" theatre is more fulfilling than anything I've done yet, even on the bad days. Which are few because I see Marly everyday and its never a bad day when I see her. Orlando in just over a month... scary. Saw the Dark Knight. Greatest Fucking Comic Book Movie Of All Time! I guess thats all for now. See ya in the Funny Papers.

Opened "Crimes of the Heart" last night. It went pretty awesome, mostly cuz me and Marley run the backstage. It was a good full audience that laughed in the right places and just over all seemed to enjoy the show. I actually don't do much wardrobe wise, but I do get to be on headset and handle some other technical elements, so hells yeah I'm important. 

The longer I stay here and the more time I spend with people.... the less I want this summer to end. I mean I am totally ready to go to Orlando in a month and a half and try to get a career going, and I know I'll make friends and have a good time, but none of it will be like what I have here and that saddens me a little. Of course I'll be in contact with people and I'm not losing anyone, really, it just...I don't know. I'm probably not gonna think about this again until i have to. Just know that places like this and nights like last night are the reasons I love my life and what I do for a living.
