Random Shit

Back home from California. The show went very well and the reviews so far have been positive.

I have been trying for about a month to find a time to meet someone I met through Onion Personals for coffee. The Onion Personals tagline is "For people who already have a life." Apparently, we both have so much of a life that the first time we meet face to face may be in November.

Lucky Spinster has completed her stint at the MacDowell Colony, and hopefully will be back in DC soon. Food and adult beverages with her and ECAG (Retired) are definitley in order.

The next three weeks promise to be absolute hell. I am double booked this week and I am taking the United Scenic Artists exam on Saturday in NY. An event for which I am not the least bit prepared.

I am contemplating someone I met over a year ago. We went out twice, but I decided to see where something with someone else would go. It went nowhere. The question for the MSGAP (and anyone else who wants to chime in) is, how weird would it be to call her now?

I finally have a dining table and chairs. And blinds. The apartment is beginning to feel a bit like home now. And I've only lived here a little over two years.

More later. Peace in yer crease.

A Long Overdue Update

I am sitting in a Starbucks in Lafayette, CA. I am here to design Scenery and Lighting for Copenhagen. The show is going well. We teched throught he whole thing yesterday, and I am mostly happy with the results. There is still some poking at it that needs to be done, but I feel confident the show will be in fine shape when I head home on Friday.

I have more work in DC this season than I did last season. And since I am managing to be home more, I am endeavoring to actually have something of a life outside of just working. In pursuit of that, I have been trying to be more social with my friends and family. I have also been reading more. I read Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, and How To Be Good while I was in Alaska, and I just finished Middlesex, which was fabulous.

Another part of trying to have a life is I have leaped into the dating pool again. We will see how that goes.

I left my iPod at home by accident. My heart is filled with sadness.

My heart is also filled with sadness over North Korea's nuclear test yesterday.

Trying to figure out what to do for Thanksgiving.

More later. I promise to attempt to write a little more often.

Peace in yer crease.

Hello

I am still alive, and made it safely to California.
