Update A Go-Go

Ok! I'm here! Fear not young Jedis! My apologies to those who apparently read this voraciously but as I mentioned in my VERY FIRST BLOG....I SUCK AT THIS! SO BACK OFF!! *ahem*

aaaanyways...life is good kids. Very good. Victoria continues to be just a phenomenal place and I have of late found myself to be full of inspiration. It is good to be a student. I feel full of creative thoughts and impulses and have started writing them down...something I always meant to do but never did. It feels good.

Also, i have started to read a large amount of plays, which is cool cause I never did before. We have to read at least 10 for acting class, and its really a great assignment because she basically just wants us to become familiar with our craft, and the written word is really the seed for most great drama. Makes me want to write one...who knows..stay tuned for that one...

What else? Audition on Saturday for next season's Mainstages. I don't really care. I wouldn't mind having some free time in the spring to be able to work. So that's cool with me.

Hallowe'en next week AKA my dad's birthday. Happy birthday Pops! Also means dressing up on saturday and drinking...I don't know why we have to wait for Hallowe'en to do this...dressing up like someone or something else and drinking with friends should be a weekly occurence if you ask me. We should NOT need an excuse.

Miss you guys on the Mainland. Hope to see you all soon.

Here's a theatre query I thought was cool(thanks Pitout!)

Okay so things have been happening really fast in the last few days but I'll try to summarize!

The move went very well, my friend Adam came over with myself and Jrad to drive the truck and bring it back and help us unload. Thanks Adam, we owe you HUGE!! We are now settled and happy in our new home. Jared's bigger couch however, did not fit into the suite, so we are on the hunt for a new place to sit. The tricky thing is finding a way to transport whatever we DO find, since we're transit junkies now. Luckily there's a 2nd hand furniture store a couple blocks away so we may be able to find a solution to that conundrum soon.

Secondly, I am now a part of the Mainstage show! It's Moliere's Tartuffe, the French NeoClassical comedy, set in Modern Texas. One of the guys had appendicitis so I am his understudy just in case and am playing a small walk on part. So that's exciting! Runs October 17th-November 4th. 2nd years don't tend to get to be in the Mainstage shows so its pretty exciting. My acting teacher recommended me to the director, I think that's a good sign! This means I can't do the SATCO show I told you about before but life is full of decisions isnt it?

Anyways, Gotta run to class! Hope everyone is doing well!
