Hmmm....

Okay, so I am back from Wal-Mart. I wanted to play racquetball today, but I realized that I could not play with the shoes that I have. I needed new tennis. So I went to the store to get a pair. I like them, but I am back in my room now. I am tired, and I don't feel all that great. I don't really want to go over to the gym right now. I guess getting the right shoes was a good step in the right direction. I really like them, they make me want to walk. It has been a long time since I had a good walk. Maybe I will do that later. Not right now though. I got The Brother's Bloom from the Redbox today, so I think I will watch that and relax for a bit. Then, once I feel better (gonna take some Ibuprofen), I am going to work on my play and my game. I am so excited about both projects. I am making the game for my Interactive Media class and I am doing the play for a radio drama. Although I want to use it as a stage play too. Anyway, I am going to stop writing for now. It feels good to write again. I will eventually get around to writing about some real stuff, but I am not rushing anything.

Saturday

Today is Saturday, and I have been up since 9 something. Well, actually awake is more accurate. I am still in bed. I am watching Deliver Us from Eva. It's a good movie. But it is ending now. And Shall We Dance is coming on now. I love that movie. I love most dance movies though. I think Step Up might be my favorite. But this is a close second. Then again, I like Center Stage quite a bit too. And of course Dirty Dancing (RIP Patrick) lol I should just stick with I love most dance movies. I am tentatively excited about the new Fame movie. I say tentatively because I am a huge fan of fame. When I was a little girl, I used to love the TV show. Absolutely loved it! I used to want to be CoCo. I thought she was the greatest. Then in high school, it was a production of Fame, that made me want to be an actress. It was really weird. I just got this almost overwhelming sense of longing to be a part of a performance like that. I just remember knowing with such joy and peace that this is what I want to do. So anyway, Fame has been a pretty significant story in my life. And I really hope the movie rocks. :)

I want to get some breakfast at some point. There is an audition today for a short comedy film, and I thought about going, but I don't think I will. What I would love to do today is go to the gym. I have been seriously thinking about putting an ad in the Oracle for a badminton partner. I really miss it. I want to start by playing on Saturdays and Sundays. Just for a couple of hours each day to start. But I realized the other day, that even if I can't play badminton, I can play racquetball. You can get a good workout with racquetball by yourself. So I think I am going to try to go and play some today. We have another show tonight, but I don't have to be there until 6:00 PM.

Anyway, I think I am wrong about this movie. I don't think it is Shall We Dance. Jennifer Lopez is in that movie. This is the one with Antonio Banderas. I like it too. I like it better than Shall We Dance, although I do like that movie.

Anyway, I want to get dressed so that I can go to Saga and have a waffle. More later.

For the Longest Time...

OKay,it has been forever since I have written a blog. I believe, if I were to look at the date, it has probably been well over a year. It feels like it could have been two years. I don't know. I just know there is so much that I have not said. I am not saying that I am going to say it all right now. I am not exactly sure what I am going to write about; I just decided that I wanted to write. What exactly is on my heart right now? Well, I will just start with what is happening around me. Maybe I will stay there. Maybe my fingers and my keyboard will take me to someplace altogether different.

I am sitting at the light board 35 minutes before the opening night performance of The Oedipus Cycle. There are actors on stage doing doing their mic checks. All of them seem to be in costume. That is good. :) There are also back stage crew members on stage, preparing for the top of the show. Watching the mic checks can be amusing as the actors come up with clever things to say for Owen, our sound guy.

A little girl who plays the child version of Ismene just went across the top of the stage. Now she is running up it. Looks like fun. It is very cool that we have an actual raked stage for this show. So that upstage is literally upstage and downstage is downstage. :) There is a lot of brilliance attached to this show. That is usually the case with our shows. I am not bragging; okay maybe I am, but I think our theatre program is impressive. The set design is cool. The lighting design is wonderful. *Yay Chris Crawford* The sound design is extraordinary. *Yay, Bittner!* The costumes are gorgeous. *Yay, Mrs. Holland and the costume staff. Yay Deanna for the armor*

Okay, now everyone is sitting in a line, and I think they are doing green room. I am not down there. I wonder if I should be. They are clapping now. I think he is telling them to thank the crews. I am betting back stage is fun for this show. There is a lot of noise in the lobby so I can't here what Chris is saying.

Okay, I was gone for a sec. I leaned forward a bit to hear better. It is about time for the show to start. So I guess I will just post this. Baby steps. :)
