Wow.....

So.
It has been quite a long time since I've written in this little thing.
A lot of fun things have happened.

I will try to recap as quickly and as proficiently as possible.

I got let go from my job.
I had to start working at my old restaurant again.
And my landlords are selling my condo....so I will be homeless on December 1st.
Awesome.

Those are the non fun things.
On to the swell stuff.....

Had a really fun Halloween weekend.
It also happened to be tech for the UNO show....so I didn't initially think it was going to be too eventful....
But....I was very lucky to get free Voodoo 3 Day passes from Jennie because she had won them and didn't have any real desire to go....so I happily took those off her hand.
So. ON that Friday between work and rehearsal Zach and I went and walked around for a little while.....this was his first festival and the weather was spectacular...so it was quite lovely.
Saturday we were supposed to have an epic Q2Q till 10 that night...but we got done super early, so we headed over and got to see some fantastic bands.
Streetsweeper Social Club....who I had never heard of before...but the lead guitarist was Tom from Rage Against the Machine and the lead singer was a cross between Ludacris and Lenny Kravitz.
And the entire time they were playing he would pause and talk to the audience and say...."We are Streetsweeper Social Club....and we are not just a band....we are a SOCIAL CLUB."
I liked them very much.
We had to leae the set early though because Zach was literally about to pee on himself.
I have never seen a person have to pee so badly in all my life.
And I am including the trip to Disney with Kristin.......this poor boy was about to die.
I kept telling him to just pee in an empty bottle, but unfortunately he is a little too classy for that.
Then we walked over and watched Ozzy for like 30 seconds and then made our way over to watch The Eagles of Deathmetal.
And they were awesome.

The next day was the old Halloween.
I had found this amazing gold lame' dress in the costume shop that fit me pretty darn perfectly....so I figured I needed it for the day's festivities.
Zach was Edgar Allen Poe....he was excited about it...and his mustache.
We went to Voodoo all day and then made our way over to the Saints' game.
Where I had to throw away my entire back pack....because FYI--can't bring them in the dome....even though the purse I carry is bigger than a backpack....couldn't fight my way in with it.
I was a bit angry...but I had been drinking since noon....so I couldn't actually get that upset about it.
The game was awesome.
Thank christ we won.
That would have been a very depressing First Saints Game in the Dome for Zachary.
Then headed down to Frenchman after the game....and then to Mimi's to do some super sweaty awesome dancing with Kaminstein.
Finally made it back home at about 3.....
And then had to go to work. And rehearsal.
I was a slightly unhappy camper.


An Experiment with an Air Pump opened this past weekend.
It has been quite the interesting rehearsal process.
And the show is going as well as it could possibly be going.
And I get to wear the most beautiful costume that has ever been made for me.
It's stunning. Mignon is wonderful.
And makes me feel very pretty.
And British accents are just fun.
It runs this weekend as well...Thurs-Sat @ 7:30 and Sunday @2:30.
Come see it!!!!

And....I guess that's really about it.
Hmmm....I really thought some more entertaining stuff happened since September.
Yeah....that's what happens when you're in a show....life revolves around rehearsals and those are only entertaining to the people directly involved.
So i will stop blabbering know.
I promise I will have some more entertaining stuff to talk about next time.

Oh oh oh.
Highlight of the school year.....?
I managed to get my entire acting class to hide in a stairwell from David Hoover in hopes that he wouldn't come looking for us and just cancel class.
Unfortunately, I started to feel bad after about 20 minutes of hiding and I reluctantly came out laughing and apologizing to Hoover right before he had found us in the theatre.
Have to say I was quite proud of myself.
Very seldom am I the leader in such depravity!
