anne

So...

it has taken me five years to work up the nerve to audition again after the personal tragedy that was the Gordon College theatre department...but I did and am going to be playing Anne in Anne of Avonlea at the end of Feb. The story is that Anne gives up her dreams of being a writer in the big city to come back to the country to help old Marilla take care of the farm. Art imitates life.

i can't stay

In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay so far
I can't stay much longer
Riding my decision home
In the dark

My sister read me an article the other day about some guy who bought a lottery ticket, died, then won ten million dollars.
I relate.

2009

If NYEs are an indicator of the year to come, then 09 will be fine. NYE 2008 was the worst NYE of my life and 2008 was the worst year of my life, so I am a believer in the theory.

I introduced Gigl/Otis to New York City for the first time and she did me proud. No indoor accidents, no hit-and-run incidents, no eating Minty/Milo. On NYE, Eliz and I went to two parties~the first in the lower east side in the imaginary Peter Cooper Village and at Dan's on the upper west. So 2009 happily arrived to me with a newfound hatred for cabdrivers, a newfound appreciation for Edie Sedgwick & Marie Antoinette, and a newfound tolerance for NYE.

To me, the Killers are to music what Lost is to television. And the thing I love about them is that their cds always come out with themes/songs/specific lyrics that are always so specifically applicable to my life. Hot Fuss was the summer of 2004, when I was about to move to Massachusetts & was coming out of my cage and I was doing just fine. Then Sam's Town came out as I was leaving New Hampshire to move back to Wilmington, which pretty much must be the city that inspired the song. And sometimes, I closed my eyes and saw the place where I used to live when I was young. Continue to Sawdust, a very Romeo & Juliet era of my life. And finally, we have the Killers' newest, Light & Day. I don't like the cd title because it sounds too Polyphonic Spree song, but I definitely have needed consolation in my darkest hour with all this impending doom going around.

a madness shared by two

Santa brought me the new Fall Out Boy cd.

I am very excited because From Under the Cork Tree reminds me of Gill's 21st on the dock and getting ready for Dan's 21st at Vine. Street. Infinity on High is one of my top cds ever. It's from a Van Gogh letter that said, "Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all". That cd reminds me of wandering around the Pheonix airport waiting to come home and the drives in the spring to Philly Theatre Co.

now cinderella don't you go to sleep

anyone else who is awake at 3:44 AM on Christmas morning is either an elf, way excited, or sad, so probably a friend of mine.

nightmare 2

I had a dream last night that Gigl was stolen like baby aaron.

pre-lost/cloverfield

J.J. was working on Felicity. Her freshman through senior years of college coincided with my freshman through senior years of high school. I've been re-watching the DVDs and am sad to be halfway through season 4. He has characters do video documentaries just like in Cloverfield and it's really heavy on character development like Lost. J.J. is made of genius and gold.



video is gay but I love the song, sung by Amy Jo Johnson, AKA Julie Emerick, AKA the pink power ranger.
FACT: Ben and Felicity are the Brenda & Dylan of the next generation.

i guess we'll never know
