Wow. I just got cast in another show. So right now, I'm set to be in 4 upcoming shows in the next year and a half.
Senex in FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM (Feb 2009) Mike Rogo in POSEIDON! THE UPSIDE DOWN MUSICAL (May 2009) Skipper in GILLIGAN'S ISLAND,THE MUSICAL ( Fall 2009 or Spring 2010) Bob in BEYOND THERAPY (Fall 2009 or Spring 2010)
It was a sad day in our house yesterday as we said goodbye to our cat, Natwick.
He has steadily been losing weight over the last few months. Last week, he only weighed in at 4.6 pounds. He stopped eating at some point this week and around Wednesday he pretty much just curled up and was ready to go.
This morning we took him in and our friend, Dr. Wendy helped us say goodbye.
He was an unusual cat and certainly had a fan club.
We will definitely miss his antics and his unique personality.
This one is taken from roseyniswitrin. The idea is that you will only see the the questions if you request me to send them to your email. (And if you do this, make sure I have your email address)
I'm also supposed to make you promise to post this in your own LJ, but I wont do that.
I've got two weeks of performing in OUR TOWN under my belt. One more week to go. I understand that this show is not everyones cup of tea, but I'm really proud of this production. Our George, Emily and Stage Manager are so fantastic! And I'm having the time of my life playing Simon. I keep telling people that I'm the only one in Grover's Corners who gets to yell at people.
We also had a Falcon board meeting last night and picked a season for next year. In honor of 20 years of doing theater, we decided to do a season of revivals.
I'll post the full season here shortly, but I will tell you that I'll be performing in two of the shows, both of which were two of my favorite shows.
One I did 20 years ago in our first season. I play gay and lose my lover. However, I do get the waiter in the end.
The other involves a ship wreck and a famous three hour cruise.
Sometimes it is the little things that make us happy.
I own a simple blood pressure machine and try to monitor my blood pressure.
In the last few weeks, my pressure seems to have gone through the roof. I was concerned and actually made an appointment to see my doctor. However what I learned was that my blood pressure was fine, but my monitor seems to be malfunctioning.
I called the company, and after a few questions, they offered to send me a new machine. They even sent UPS to pick up my old one.
I know today is election day, but I wanted to take a moment to plug my show.
I'm appearing in OUR TOWN at the Covedale Center of Performing Arts.
Yes thats right, I'm acting. Not directing, choreographing, stage managing or any of those other jobs that I usually do.
I'm having a lot of fun and the show is really looking good.
I was interviewed for the local radio station on their arts program that aired on Sunday. If interested, you can listed to it here. The entire show is about an hour, but my interview is about 10 minutes long and happens at the half way point in the show, so feel free to fast forward.
Kroger decided to keep me for 12 more weeks. That means I'll be employed until December 5th. So financially, everything is good for me right now.
I did have a great job interview for Reid Hospital in Richmond, Indiana. This would be an amazing place to work, but the big problem is that Richmond is over an hour away from my house. I certainly can do that commute for a while, but not forever. If this job comes through, we will probably move further north to Oxford. From there, both Rob and I would have half hour commutes to work.
In addition, I have an interview with Cincinnati Children's Hospital on Tuesday. (How funny that my two biggest possibilities are with hospitals!) I have a really good feeling about Tuesday's interview.
I'm totally expecting that one of these will lead to the job offer that I will accept.
So right now, the big question is will it be Cincinnati or Richmond.
On the good side: Our dear friend, Jim from NYC came for the weekend. It is always good to see him. We had planned on spending the day at Kings Island on Saturday, when we realized that the park was closed for a private party that day! So we went to the casinos instead. It was a good day for all of us. I started off with $60 at the roulette table and walked away with $363!. Not bad! We went to dinner and then afterwards decided we should all play $20 on a slot machine. Jim won $300 on a spin. Wow! All casino trips should be like this.
On the bad side: We lost a friend over the weekend. We received word via email this morning that one of our camping friends died yesterday. Very unexpectedly. He died from a ruptured appendix. This guy was our age. We are really shaken by this news. There is just no preparation for something like this.
- Post a Comment and I'll randomly assign you a letter (A - Z in the English Alphabet); - Then you have to respond by listing ten things you LOVE that begin with that letter. - Afterward, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.
I was assigned the letter L:
1. Lawrence, as in Saint Lawrence, my patron saint 2. Lindsey Boxer, the main character from James Patterson's Women's Murder Club 3. Legally Blonde, the musical, one of the best feel good shows on Broadway now 4. Literature, as in stuff like The Grapes of Wrath and The Great Gastby 5. A Little Night Music, one of Sondheim's best shows 6. Laura Liney, love her in everything she does 7. Lesbians, (nuf said) 8. Lauderdale, our new favorite vacation spot 9. Life Savers, the candy, not the ship wreck necessity 10. The Lottery, two fold. I love both the Shirley Jackson story and would love to win a million dollars!
Wow, it's sad, but I worked all day on that list! Come on and play. I'll give you a letter!
I did talk to the manager. She was extremely sympathetic and mentioned that she had received a similar complaint about the same bartender earlier.
We did not leave. Right when we got our drinks, they were ready to seat us. So the manager did comp us our appetizers.
Actually, she handled it well. I was happy with the outcome.
But the funny part happened after we ate. Our waiter was excellent. (I'm sure he knew we complained about the bartender, so he gave us excellent service)
However, i only ate half my pizza. So he took it away to box it up. Then he left it in the kitchen and someone threw it away.
So on top of everything, they gave us another pizza to cook later.
I really couldn't complain. By this point we were laughing our asses off.
