Happy New Year

A New Year.

Really, how the eff did it get to be 2008.  Just yesterday it was March.

Unlike last year, where I missed the turning of the new year because I was reading a book, I actually managed to make plans and go out.  Indeed I went to two parties and had a wonderfully festive time at both.  I even got kissed at midnight.

The down side of New Years Day, other than the hangover, is it is a week before my birthday. So that whole what have I done in the last year/ what am I going to do in the future year just feels so much more intense.

The past year was mostly up, with a bit of down.

The Ups:

Two fantastic design gigs with the most creatively inspiring director I have ever had the privilege of working with.  

I got to assist on a show at Roundabout Theatre in NY.

I managed to patch up a friendship that had gone south.

I got to work with a director who wants to hire me for much better money at another theatre.

I had work for the whole year.

Also for a brief time I was involved in a relationship, which was lovely while it lasted.

The Downs:

My brief relationship ended.

My uncle passed away after a short illness, and I did not have a chance to see him before he died.

The year ahead looks far more uncertain.  I don't have a lot of design work lined up at the moment, although there are some rumors on the wind.  

I am planning to take the Scene Design Exam in the Spring.

I have decided to swear off women for the year.  I love the women in my life dearly, but women are insane.  And all of the MSGAP who I have said this to agree.

I hope everyone's New Year is safe, happy and prosperous.

2008 is still young, unlike you ; ) LMAO no no no, I'm only kidding. You know this and I wouldn't tease you if I wasn't a sincere member of the Posse. I suspect that your work load will increase and things will even out for you.
