In my roommate's room, a pair of pants hang over the back of the chair I'm sitting in and I can't stop thinking, "Are these pants mine...?"

Absurd
I now have 12 year olds flirting with me on the street...

Locked out
Great.
I'm standing in the hallway listening to the pothead guys down the hall rap about Oakland on some kind of crappy PA system. Young, white, fratboy/indie rocker looking dudes. (Hey, does that mean they're hipsters? Guess it depends on who's defining hipster, huh... ?) Supposedly they are 17 and one of their father's signed for them to live here on their own. Lucky us. Although, I have to admit that they are pretty nice, and ... decent rappers? Decent might be too generous... ambitious rappers. ...er, well, they're rappers.
I got myself in this predicament by doing laundry in my building instead of going to the laundry mat.

Work snippet
Co-worker: (something like...) The CEO loves me... But I want to do this thing and I don't want her to be mad and blah blah... (This is a bad dramatization to hide this person's identity.)
Me: With great power comes great responsibility.
Co-worker: Sarcasm. Nice.
Me: I'm not being sarcastic, I'm quoting Spiderman.

Crazytown!
It's a quick project, so they told me they wanted me to do a photo shoot with them today and I needed to do 50s hair and make up, and wear a 50s style wedding dress... ?! Yeah, cause everyone has a 50s wedding dress lying around and is an expert in hair and make up. Luckily, my friend Gabriella is quite talented in hair and make up and totally gets the 50s, so she came to my rescue!! My face and hair in this picture are a result of her great handy work. You can't fully see my hair because it's in a hair net. She also had a perfect dress to loan me! I'm so lucky to have such a generous and talented friend. :)

Complicated with no reason.
Today, I was making things more complicated than they should've been, and I pointed it out as a characteristic of mine to someone in an email message. The person wrote back with, "I've noticed that about you. It's kind of cute ;)". ...I've always thought of my over-active mind as a character flaw, and something that I should work to control. Most people tend to agree that I'm capable of thinking myself crazy...but this simple comment somehow made me feel like I would be okay...

Land's end
What a freaking weekend!
We had a rough show on Friday night. Of course that was the night all of my friends showed up... but, oh well. Afterwards, I had great impromptu girl's night out with some of my favorite girls. :) Saturday, I fought Dave at the marina (stage combat), and then headed to Angel Island for a birthday party. I got to meet Wilder James Waters that day!! The show that night went well -- after I threatened to pull Scott's chest hair if he missed a line. *sigh* ...oh, the wonderful things that transpire in the backstage of a show... I'd like to erase the rest of that night, if I could, and leave it at a good show. ...which brings us to today. Audition, Land's End, Sutro bathes, San Rafael, quick dinner out with some good conversation, and here I am.

Vintage shirts and hugs...
the guy at the audition said I had a great voice and was beautiful on stage...and that I should keep training and hopefully he'll see more of my work soon. Not a brutal rejection, but it confirms two things for me. One, that I should never try to audition with a piece that I haven't worked on at all, and two, that it would be a good idea for me to actually pursue more formal training rather than continuing to fumble through the edges of this industry just winging it.

Self torture and strenuous exercise
That's the name of the first Kondoleon play I ever read. It's weird and brilliant. He manages to capture the complete absurdity of dysfunctional relationships in a perfect and humorous way.
I've been called to audition for the Asian theater company in town. I'm going to try to pull off a monologue from another of Kondoleon's plays. I'm so not ready to do that... Self torture...

Backstage
Three weeks before opening, one of the guys in two of our acts (it's a series of one acts) decided to drop out. Just like that. One of the acts he was in was with me, playing Romeo to my Juliet in a silly little play about a guy and a girl who are cast as Romeo and Juliet but have a romantic history that didn't end well. The drama off the stage ensues....
Scott stepped in to take original Romeo's place. He only really had two weeks to get it together before we found ourselves at opening night. I think he and I rehearsed three times together? ...and, he was great and totally SAVED THE DAY. My hero with the velvet voice. :)
Scott also played Dracula with me in the Monsters show.

This is supposed to be a "best of the bay" fondue place, but you can't just order for one, and Jen doesn't believe in cheese. haha, either that, or she's vegan. :)

The other side of Vegas
Vegas has a huge art district full of talented local artists! What a fantastic local find...I'm so inspired right now. First Thursdays is a preview night at the Factory. First Fridays they take their art to the streets and have a huge showing of all the art in the community.
