Hey everyone,
I'm sorry that I haven't updated in about a week. As most of you know (because you were there), my theatre Capstone, the play Edgar's Ashes (which I wrote, directed, set designed, light designed, and acted in) went up Thursday night. Since that time, I've been going hardcore trying to get caught up on all of the class that I have been ignoring, including my 20-page English Capstone paper so that I might actually get out of here with both of my degrees.
In the mean time, enjoy this video that is a response to the NOM video that has been in the news lately.

I'm Back
Sorry for the ten day hiatus, it has been a relative shit storm around Shorter Theatre for the moment. Here's basically how life is going:
-APO Induction-We had a good time, in spite of the fact that is was way too formal for a Theatre ceremony at Shorter. We're low-key people; so, we posed on a pedestal to match our personality while they read our achievements. Oh, and I'm the President, which reminds me that I have got to have an officer's meeting tomorrow.
-English Capstone-Passed with flying colors. Reportedly, the words "graduate-level" were used to describe my performance. Yes, you can imagine me nonchalantly blowing on my fingers if you want. I completely fucked up the "Prufrock" question (sorry Kate), but I more than made up for it with my Oedipus Rex and Othelle responses.
-Love's Call-Amazing performance last Monday night. My mother was unable to come, but it was a remarkable night regardless. My cast was amazing, Davis stole the show as the Nurse (apparently, she thrives on an audience), and I simply couldn't have been prouder. That happened six days ago. It feels like an eon.
-Millie auditions-Lord, save me. Auditions Tuesday, Callbacks were Wednesday, and the cast list finally went up Saturday afternoon. In the middle of all this, I have been caught in a shitstorm of controversy that I won't go into here. But, suffice it to say, multiple people have lost my trust for this process and I will proceed warily. The show is double-cast, and I'm refraining from an opinion until I see how it works out. It is certainly...different.
-Justin and Asha's Senior Show-Really good performance. I'm proud of both of them. Justin's dad grabbed me and yelled at me because I was the house manager. Then he apologized with a zero-distance of personal bubble. Twice. Which was all fine, except that I really like my personal bubble.
-Personal Life-I haven't seen any of my friends for any length of time in days. K'Fain is busy this weekend, and I have been too 90-to-nothing to call. I should call Kate ASAP to fill her in on stuff. I spent all of yesterday in bed watching movies on Netflix. At dinner, I stumbled into the living room to watch movies in there. I love having the apartment to myself.
I hope this week turns out better.

Sorry for the Downtime
I put this blog on private for a while for a few reasons:
A. I wasn't writing. But I wanted it to look like I was. (by the way, one of those sentences is a lie.)
B. I was using a few of the posts for another project. But I'm done with that.
C. I was lazy and busy with other projects and I forgot to do so.
But, this is back open to the general world. So, an update in the life of me.
My play, Love's Call, is in AHA production right now with the following cast:
Martin--Jamel Booth
Leslie--Mareal Villareal
Daniel--Nick Mason
Glendon--Greige Lott
Travis--Michael Lindsey
Andrea--Elizabeth MacDonell
Nurse--Kathleen Hoyt
I am directing and the performance is Monday, November 3rd, time TBA. I wish I could invite all of you to come, but AHA is closed to the department. Like, my mother isn't even able to come. Sucktastic. However, I did get a rewrite done in the last hour on the play...some scenes were playing way too serious so I lightened them a little bit. That's the joy of directing your own work: if something isn't working, you can change it, no problem.
In other news, I may have found a dude. And by that, I mean I found him, but I don't know if we are to the point where I can blog about him. So stay tuned. Or call me if you want more info.
I was without a phone all of last week because I lost it Applebee's. But I have it back. But I have very few people's phone numbers. So, that's probably where I'm going after this: to plug everyone's number back into my phone.
I'll try to think of something witty to write later, but until then, be safe.
