Funny. The last time I posted was the "last" cold day of the year, or so I thought. Hubris, I tell you!

I'm trying again not to leave the house today, although I've spent four hours on the phone tracking down gear to rent for my next show.

I might revise and extend this post a little later, but, for now, here's a photo of...

Had a good time with the friend. Talking and having drinks.

Turns out her situation is far more complicated than I'd thought. We work in a fairly tight community, gossip-wise, and it turns out people were far more in the dark than was known. Don't want to go too far into detail for respect's sake, but 1)They are still married and living together (although in...

I spent Valentine's Day working. Two shows. After the second show, I walked home in the subfreezing temps (not awfull in and of itself), bought some beer, and sat on the couch. Where I hear an unearthly whining.

MY ROOMMATES FUCKING CAT IS IN HEAT AGAIN.

I really thought I was in hell. I don't really give two shits about V-day, but the atmosphere is...

no, i'm afraid it isn't Binny's - just the liquor store around the corner. wink

i can see Binny's being involved in a good memory or two though, definitely. hope your night out is a good one - regardless of whether it ends in naked playtime or not, man.

CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SOME TECHNICAL DETAILS ABOUT THEATRE LIGHTING. BE ADVISED: IF THIS BORES YOU, SUCK IT.

Anyhoo. During this show, I'm running lighting and video (lighting off the GrandMA Lite, video off the Dataton Watchout systems w/ two projectors and three graphics PCs). We've had wicked problems with moving lights, specifcailly three Marting MAC 2K Profiles. These are a journeyman moving light, known...

I've heard some of Nerds. Some funny shiznit there. It's in philly at the mo yeh?

And like above - stage managers can be kinda silly. I had one during uni actually leave before me (a lowly actor) during bump out. I was furious. This was after she had asked us to put our car-keys in box so we didn't cheese it after the show - which I found quite insulting. clearly I still need to vent on it haha.
saraphine:
That sounds like no fun at all..... You work in theatre? So do I sometimes, doing hair and makeup. Tough biz!

Been too long since I updated due to a couple of factors. First -- broken keyboard sucks. The whole middle of my keyboard stopped working. It's still covered, but I couldn't do without the computer long enough to get it replaced.

I also just opened the hardest show I've ever worked on. It's also one of the best.

It's called Nerds. It's a brand new...

On my way home now. An hour into a six hour layover in Chicago. I'm sitting in the corner of the Union Station food court, protecting my control over the hotspot, and, more crucially, power outlet, with threats of violence. Left home around 11:30 am yesterday. Amtrak is not bad, but LOOOONG. Need to get proof of res to get my PA driver's license, and...

I'm really pissed off right now.

Had to go home just after thanksgiving for my sister-in-law's funeral.

Had to miss going home for Christmas, just to work enough to nearly make rent for this month.

Going home tomorrow. Found out my dad is in the hospital with heart trouble. He's had surgery twice in the last ten years, and apparently was still smoking after his...

Wow! I really don't update that often.

Things are a bit weird in life right now.

First, the bad: My sister-in-law, Wendy Howlett Harman, has very little time left on this Earth. The cancer she's been fighting for over two years has won. They stopped treatment about a month ago, and estimated whe would have a few months left. Two days ago I found that...

Disturbing experience tonight.

I live across the street from one of the best bars in the city (the Standard Tap, for anyone in Philly who might happen upon this). I have had a crush on one of the servers there for some time. A simple crush, really. I was sure I didn't want to know her, as it was nice to have a simple, harmless...

Back on the internet, and back to work.

Sort of seeing someone, and it's going poorly. I feel like I've finally turned a couple of corners with my romantic life.

1. I can finally have a relationship without trying to fall in love instantly. I feel able to just hang out with someone casually.

2. For the first time, I was able to say what...

Fucking internet provider. I'm currently feuding with my DSL provider.

Or rather, I'd like to say I'm feuding, but really, in the end, I have spent forever on the phone with them, and still won't have DSL for another week. When I'll be out of town for the holiday.

So -- back to regular attendance around the end of the month. I've made a deal...

You are awesome for having the balls to say it!

Running late for work, but trying to be better about updating this.

I'm really still trying to figure out my breakup. Was it a huge mistake? I don't think it was. I keep thinking about all the things I miss from the relationship, but I'm suspicious that I'm not really thinking about the things I miss about the girl.

It bothers me that she's getting...

Break-ups are nasty things. I think you're missing having someone w/ you & you don't know what to do w/ the time you used to spend w/ them. Hope you feel better. kiss
