"I'm not for sale, Momma!"

Bad Lifetime movie (Sinners Love Company)tonight. My friend Ellen (set designer at BTE) did set dressing and was an all-purpose extra (mourner, croquet player, churchgoer, etc) in this "film". If you can call it that. Anyway, it was entertaining.

I'm siiiiiiick. Again. I had a good run there of a couple years where I NEVER got sick - now twice in a couple months. Ugh. Sinus pressure, constantly.

Days feel long, rehearsing TIC and performing Red Herring. Parents come tomorrow.

"The gift of accurate observation is often called cynicism by those who do not have it." -G.B. Shaw

I dig the quote, totally a Shaw-ism. He was such a snob. I've definitely been feeling the cynic these days, particularly in rehearsals. It's weird to be acting with people my age (or close to it) again. Plus they're all new in town (or, some of them) so they're uber-social and excited. I'm just drained. I like working on the Native American stories, I find them fascinating - and drumming is really cool - but this was the part of the internship I was least looking forward to. Not that I was dreading it, it's just the mainstage shows and the intern project (in May) were more appealling.

"How am I gonna pay the rent and put food and gin on the table???"

Got my audition time for NETCs in Boston next month. A musical audition, though I considered switching to acting only this year. I just don't feel the musicals these days. But I'm gonna do it anyway, I guess cause it's familiar; I've just always done musical auditions. Lame reason. I'm not too attached to the idea of summer stock this year. I already emailed the owners of the cafe back in Montana, as I've been aching for the West lately. They responded enthusiastically, but who knows...

Gee, I'm a ray of sunshine tonight. To bed.
