"I'll make your heart smile."
Hello DJ! It's been a while. As usual.

I just finished my play last night. The one I've been ACTING in, which is awesome. Not to brag or anything, but everyone has been telling me how amazingly funny I am in the one play, especially Jay. That makes me so happy to think I don't completely suck at acting. I am really funny in that one... or was since it's over now. We had a sell out crowd this whole past week. I got to see some people in the audience (like Cher and Janiece and Joel!) and work with some people back stage (like Jess and Trudy and Dani) that I haven't seen in ages! It was a really awesome time. I'm kinda sad it's over, but I won't miss all the work and time it took.

I've had two of my monologues selected this year for the Practice Monologamy contest, which will be performed in two weeks. I'm also directing two, which is cool. I hope they don't suck too much. That's the last weekend of April on Thurs, Fri and Sat, so come see them!

After that I'm getting back into some craft stuff since I've been neglecting that for theatre. Gonna get my etsy and blog back up to date and make some new things. Hopefully there will be another IMI in May or June b/c I miss them. I also have a three day block planned out to completely clean the apartment. I'm talking Clean House style, like when I have my keep pile I'm gonna go back through it and get rid of half of it again. I have too much SHIT that I don't use or even remember I have and the apartment is a fucking wreck. We don't know where anything is half the time and that sucks. Plus we're staying in this apartment for at least another year (that's right, it's my first extended lease!), so we might as well make it livable. Then we're planning another yard sale. Althea is bringing some of her stuff to sell at that too so we can have a nice big one.

That will be nice to do in May b/c Maria will be done with school, graduated and there will be no theatre. And the apt. will be all ready for the Fifth Annual Halloween in June party, which is gonna rock. I'm doing a show starting in June that opens in July for the Summer Company. It's The Importance of Being Earnest, which is pretty much my dream to work on... I'm not stage managing it, just ASMing, but that rocks for me. Not as much work, and I can do the show with minimal stress. April, the stage manager, tells me that ASMs in this show are also going to play maids, so looks like I'll kinda be acting again anyway. :)

Oh, yes. Lenore had kittens this morning. LOL. I kinda knew she was pregnant again, but it's so hard to tell for sure. I really wanted to get Byron fixed after last time, but I've been very low on money and time. That was right around the holidays and forget that shit. Given the timing on this one, she got pregnant in early February, which would have given us November, December and January to get Byron fixed. Holidays, vacations, two shows, extra work hours, etc. Yeah. But this time I'm so serious. I don't want Byron spraying any more and this will be the LAST bunch of kittens. Although I'm actually pleased we're gonna have more kittens around. They are so sweet and I love them all! But I already have one possible taker for a kitten. There's four again, so if you are interested, let me know!

So for now I'm working on some poems and drafting a full length play (I hopes, I hopes...) and a couple little one acts. And thinking about getting a degree in stage management. And thinking how I should be a manager at Starbucks or find somewhere that pays better. A lot of people are jumping ship right now b/c it kinda sucks for the employees at the moment. A lot of changes going on so that customers are getting better products and we're working our asses off with no incentive or reward. Yeah.

Ok, that's all for now; just thought I'd update SOMETHING in here since I neglect it so much. And I don't wanna miss a month! TTYL, Cruel World!
