SLAMmed for the third time

We did it. It was a good year. Great, huge audience. Beautiful sets. Wonderful space. Fun cast. Somebody blogged about it.

It was also the book release party for "Plays From Behind the Zion Curtain", which made it extra exciting, because I'M IN A BOOK!

Still Falling

Happy Birthday to my best friend/lover/husband!

I wish more than anything that I could take you to seem them live tonight. This seemed like the next best thing. I love you.

Brawny Blogger

One of my nieces thinks that since I'm an exhibitionist, I might enjoy writing a self-absorbed blog post. Would I ever! I'm very self-absorbent. That's what this whole blog is about: me!
I'm messing with you Erin, it's all good.

But I'll consider myself tagged.

Tag Rules: List 5 facts or habits about yourself. At the end of the post, you must tag 5 people and post their names. Go to their blog and leave them a comment letting them know they have been tagged and to read your blog for more details.


5 facts about me:


1. I have recently, very recently, like 2 days ago, become addicted to Spider Solitaire. I don't know who told me about it, but whoever it was, I curse you.


2. I am done having children. You may have already known that. But sometimes I like to drive the point home for people who think it would be great for me to have another. Most of those people weren't around during my pregnancies.


3. I have a secret cougar crush on Zac Efron. Shhh...please don't tell him if you see him filming somewhere locally this month. I don't want him to be afraid of me if I end up as an extra on the set.


4. My passport expires on June 25th. I thought for sure I'd use it again after getting it for our honeymoon. No such luck.


5. When we went to see The Nutcracker in December I wore a pair of shoes that were a little too big. I had to use my toes to sort of grip to hold them on my feet. I think I've done permanent damage to my right foot because of this. Seriously. I think I'm going to have to see a podiatrist.

Hiatus

I'm taking a brief time-out from theatre while Mark does these:

Sordid Lives (sorry, I can't make their images act like images)

and




Both of which you should see.


I'm not calling it a dry-spell because I still have two one-time-only performances:



and



Which you should most definitely see. Click on any of the above for more information.

There may also be a Rocky Horror performance or two in the works. I'll post here if it happens.

Oh, and, I'm in an independent film that should premiere this summer: T.C.B.-The Conspiracies Bureau. Here is the trailer, which, I'm in.

April Doesn't Fool Day

Remember when I said this year I was going to do some things I had never done before? This was one of those things. Now I've done it. And it was fun.


Warning: Clicking on the photo/link below will take you to a picture that contains nudity. Well, it is nude. It is of a nude person. This picture is NSFW (that means not suitable for work, for the uninitiated). This picture is also NSFCFM (that means not suitable for certain family members--if you are related to me and you are not my sister or my mother, you'd be better off running away quickly. If you click on the link, you may find your eyeballs melting, or wishing they would, or wanting to pull an Oedipus on yourself. Especially if you are a brother, a niece, or the husband of a niece.) This picture is also NSFPWTTCNLMITFA (that means not suitable for people who think they could never look me in the face again--which is probably everyone else). Anyone still there? Click away. But don't say I didn't warn you.

If you're curious, but not that curious, here's the somewhat censored version. Warnings still apply.

Flattery will get you...

Seconda made all of these for me yesterday. I shall provide the English language version for those who don't read Kindergarten-ese.


















I >heart< you mommy.


















You're as sweet as a daisy, mommy.


















You're filled with hearts.


















You're as pretty as a tulip. (she asked me what I thought was the prettiest thing in the world "besides your family *eyeroll*")


















The word love is for you. (that's me on the right, her--red hair--on the left)

















Your styles are for fashion. (me on Project Runway? no idea. apparently she thinks I'm stylish)

And last, but not at all least:

















You're the best mommy in the whole wide world.


Isn't she the sweetest thing?



What do you think she wants from me? More TV time? A new Webkinz? A bike?

Poor child, has a cynic for a mother. I'm just not an easy target. Will I save all these drawings forever and look at them wistfully when she's 15 and stops speaking to me for 3 years? Absolutely.

Easter Chicks

Thank god Spring finally came! We were starting to think we were going to die a slow, cold, silent death. But no! Sunshine and Easter baskets and Spring dresses and peeps and chocolate eggs and bunnies have saved us!
