Doing my thing and this is what it is... Oct. 27th, 2006

Another show done!  Two more shows this weekend and my Wit and Wilder days are over.  I also started writing my own play today.  I finished half of the first act.  It is turning out better than I expected.  I never realized how easy it is to write a play.  I probably should try screenwriting too.  I could easily turn 'Simplicity' or 'Bored' into movies.  I have the stories written; I would like to publish them but my schedule is keeping me from doing anything besides my regular routine.  I am getting an A in all my classes this semester.  That should help my GPA.  I let it slip to 3.5 overall; which is not bad; but I can do better.  I have only been applying 50% of my energy; imagine if I gave it my all?
I went out with Michelle and Ralph after the show tonight.  I am very glad to see them as happy newlyweds.  Not too many of my friends are married; but the ones that have taken the leap are doing great.  This is giving me an added vigor for my own personal happiness.  I am not being plagued by my parents screw ups.  I can actually see the institution of marriage as a stable entity for the first time.  Seeing it with my own eyes helps me believe in the whole process.  For the longest time; I didn't think I ever wanted to get married.  But now I am beginning to rethink that.
Tinks is giving me some trouble with her antics.  I am losing patience with her; I know she came from the streets originally and she has not acted out in two years but now all of sudden she is becoming quite a handful.  I am not home very often; so when I am home I don't want to spend it cleaning up after her.  I am in desperate need of a vacation.
Georgi aka Ma Kirby/Madame Pugeot in  my plays was in a car accident on her way to the theatre tonight.  The director had to go pick her up and the show almost didn't happen tonight.  It was the first time I have ever been in a show that was almost cancelled because of one of the cast members not showing up.  Obviously it was not her fault; but myself, Michael, and Georgi are the backbones of the show.  We play the main characters in each of the three shows respectively.  I auditioned for a show called Buried Child and I am waiting to hear if I got cast in it.  I also seen Jarrid tonight.  He came to my work around 5:30 this evening.  We went out to dinner before cast call and I saw him at the Social D. show for a few minutes but before that it has been years.  He is on hiatus from Florida and his girlfriend; it was great catching up and talking about old times and talking about new times.  After the show though, he got all weird and bounced out.  Michelle and Jarrid used to be together years ago; so I am assuming he was uncomfortable; but it is not like Jarrid to act like that.  Michelle thinks he is up to no good.  I want to believe otherwise; and I didn't see any signs; but then again I wasn't looking either.  We still had a great time without him; but I wished he would have came.  Michelle told me he did the same thing last week at a concert; he took a cab home when she offered to drive him.  I don't know; Jarrid was always a weird cat; I guess that is why we got along so well over the years.  I miss my old friends but I don't miss the old times. 
The director in my show keeps handing us little notes on our performances and it is driving me nuts.  Once the run is going there should be no need for more notes.  If we don't have the show after rehearsal is done; then we are never going to get where he wants us to be.  But giving us notes after our performances with audiences is uncalled for.  We have a lot of inexperienced actors and I don't think they know it is not right.  I say fuck him; he is an ass; we already have a few instances where we didn't see eye to eye.  So I am done; but he handed us all notes again tonight; there are only two shows left; there really isn't anything we can do to make the last two nights better.  I am just glad this show is over; I think the plays are totally outdated; and the audiences today just don't find 1920's humor funny anymore.  But I am still part of the show; and I am thankful I got through it to put it on my resume.
I started my sixth class this past thursday.  So my schedule is finally filled.  Six classes; the most I have ever taken in a semester; and I am getting A's in all of them like I said earlier.  I am not bragging; I worked hard for them grades; so it can't be bragging; more along the lines of just saying it out loud so I can hear or read it myself and continue to believe in my abilities.
The weather was cold today; and everyone knows I hate it.  I can feel the joy and happiness slowly being sucked out of me like a vacuum cleaner sucking dirt out of a rug.  Well, I think I am going to watch a movie now; I have done everything I can for today; and it was a lot as usual.  I am blessed and thankful for another day of O2 and I just want to wish everybody a happy weekend.  I hope it is all it is cracked up to be.  It is the reign of Scorpio until November 21st so bear in mind we control the horizontal and the vertical so don't attempt to adjust your television.  We are in control.
