Good news

Well, I've got some good news to report. I am in a show called Thunderhoof and the Prince. It's a kids' show that goes up in August. It's being directed by the same guy that directed Fiddler and Annie, a really nice guy. He is one of my favorite directors. I have two roles: a henchman and Queen Zuzzette of Napalot. They are both small roles, but that means I won't have to be at every rehearsal and it will be easy to get my lines down. I basically have them learned already. Actually, none of the roles are that big except for Prince Alex and the horse, Thunderhoof. My ex, the weird one, is playing the horse. It's hilarious! I can't believe he's doing a children's show. He is definitely not fond of children. But he couldn't pass up an opportunity to play a horse.

No progress on Checking Out. I want to give the first act to someone to read. Maybe they will give me an idea as to where to go. My sister is a writer and I told her the characters are just sitting around talking to each other. She said, "Oh, that's not good...."

She was just here to visit. She lives in New Orleans so we only get to see each other once a year. She is an interesting person. Five years ago she and her husband converted to Catholicism and they are very strict Catholics. She doesn't really have a holier-than-thou attitude, but I can tell she thinks her way is the best. She also has become a vegan and the whole weekend was about what she can eat and what she can't eat. She made dinner and introduced me to "Better than cream cheese" which is awesome. The visit was nice, it's just that she acts so right all the time.

Not much to report on the romantic front. I have not had any bites on the site but a few interesting things have been happening off the site. I'm not going to go into that much. Suffice it to say I have struck up an old friendship and we are becoming close again. That is one of the things that is happening.

I haven't written in so long because I find my life rather boring. Who wants to read about my weight loss or my search for a job? I will have more to write about as rehearsals go on. And maybe writing here will help me with Checking Out. We shall see.

Hanging up now....
