So I've been in Orlando for a month...

And the only thing I know for sure is when this contract is over, I want out of this place. I mean its nice and sunny and great to spend your vacations in, but its so far away form the people I call home. Yes I said people, I technically don't have a place to call home. I opened "Kiss Me, Kate" tonight and besides the fact that I pretty much hate musicals, I'm not as happy doing this without people I care about. Sure the people here are fun and cool, but I barely know them and they don't know me at all. Another part of it is that I want my next step in life; a home, a family, a permanent job or at least a permanent city to keep working in. I always preach doing this for the art, that its the art I'm in it for. I'm a hypocrite. I do it because for 2 to 3 hours I'm respected and heard. I do it because it's something I'm good at and I couldn't really find anything better. I miss have certain people by my side when i do it here. I miss Marley. More than i thought missing someone was possible. but I gotta go. peace.

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.
