Changing the subject
I have recently been reflecting back on my career in the theater because I have been reevaluating what I want to get out of all this experience I have. I have thought of trying to become a dramaturgy because I think I would be really good at that and it would keep me involved in theater and use my skills but I know if I got out of acting I would miss it and would want to go back. Anyway, all this reflecting made me want to make a list of all the shows I've been in not including stupid school recitals, dance recitals, choir stuff, etc. Just real plays and shows that involved memorizing lines and blocking. Here is that list starting from the most recent. It took a lot longer than I thought it would to remember everything.

I think I am missing something but 30-some plays in 27 years is a pretty good run if you ask me. So I don't know. I guess if I ever do go back to school I should just try to do something with theater that isn't acting. Something more practical. Because I hate acting classes, mostly. I really liked directing classes and dramatic lit. I should do that. Of course what I really should do is just teach. Because you know what they say.
I found this on-line from this guy's portfolio. me in hunting cockroaches
He has some other pictures from productions at Humboldt that made me nostalgic. Joe was a very nice person. I think he got married to Elena and they lived happily ever after. I hope so.
This weekend is the last weekend of The Heidi Chronicles. I've actually had fun doing this one. It has been hard and the rehearsal process and run have been long but I still like the play and the people in it and it is nice to get laughs every night.
Oh, and boy howdy do I ever think I am great. However my recent craziness was summed up well by a jpr interview I heard this morning. This author said that she was crazy after her husband died and the interviewer thought that her behavior was normal given the circumstances and she said that her craziness was probably just a perceived loss of control that she wasn't used to. I'm no control freak except when it comes to my own emotions and my ability to think logically and any loss of control for me does make me totally crazy. So I am attempting slowly to regain my composure because crazy is not a pretty color for someone with my complexion.

My theater resume. In case you want to hire me as an actor. Because I am sick of my job.

"jpr"
can you say that?
Can I not? I don't know. Does that break another rule that I don't know about? I'm paranoid now. Jefferson Public Radio. And man, you are fast on the draw with commenting. Rule # 2. Don't post about radio stations in a public forum? Or does jpr stand for something else? Curiouser and Curiouser.
I wonder if my brother would be so cruel as to anonymously post on my blog since he never has before and since I don't even know if he ever reads it. That would be really really tricky. And it is exactly the type of thing he would do. Doesn't that sound like the type of thing he would do?
I thought JPR was a silly way of saying Jewish Public Radio, which is something I've heard people joke about.
Maybe you can become a high school Drama teacher. They are always weird like you are . . . Weirdo. But then you would have to care about other people to do that, and I don't think you have what it takes for that. You should get to know more film people so that you can add to your resume more quality student films that nobody will ever see. That's what people here do. Of course, they grow up to be losers. I guess I'm out of advice then.
apants.... that justine person says really weird stuff.
well, he's a little weird. He is very smart though. And sort of fun to be around and just watch what he does and says. So we tolerate him. But he lives way way far away so I actually don't have tolerate him much. He is a livejournal page that I have a link to on my main page. He is Mr. Magina. But that is probably like people calling HBO the Hebrew Box Office because it is run but jews. But it is run by jews. Because people of the jewish persuasion are funny and smart. That is a generalization of course.
Anonymity makes me uncomfortable.
You preening puppet! It does sound like your brother, except for the "justine" post. I was wondering if I ever say mean things like my brother does. I mean, in the same way. And I thought about my mother-in-law, and if I were to very earnestly and deadpanly say to her, "You're right, Mexicans are a very clean people," that would be like him.
I want jews to run the world. And I think only blacks and maybe the irish should be allowed to act or make music. Or write. Those are my prejudices for the day. I'll let the French make pastries. Oh, and Mexicans can raise my children.
ANONYMA GONE WILD!
does anonyma write from a compound in northern Idaho?
yes, she does write from a compound in idaho. actually. Isn't that where "the property" is? As in Ailsa's inheritance? Wasn't it Idaho? I can't remember now. The more and more this anonymous "person" comments the more I think this "person" is more than one "person" and may in fact be several "people" who may or may not be considered my "friends." I am strongly considering disallowing anonymous comments from my blog, however, since this is driving me completely insane.
Oh Apants, if you're really treading the verge of mental illness over Anonymous' anonymity, then Anonymous will cease and desist. But, you ARE being a overly dramatic about it; after all, Anonymous is just having a wee bit-o-fun with you. If you want to be upset, go after Anonyma for her aryan nation style rant. Comments like that are actually worthy "disallowing" on your blog.
Oh well...
May the road rise up to meet you and may the Lord keep you in the palm of his hand....as they say.
Oh Anonymous, you cad. I was being over dramatic on purpose!!! And it worked. Like a charm.
The legacy. Yes, some in Idaho. Some in North Carolina. Some in Orlando. Lord knows what any of it means. Maybe Ailsa can sort it out. She's a genius, after all. She's gone all exorcist on us lately, though. Or rather, to-be-exorcised. Flailing and growling and knocking her little head around and pulling her hair with tiny little fists. And projectile vomiting. And crabwalking. Okay, not that part, but she does pivot around and roll with sweet abandon. Have I ruined my baby already? Or is she just rehearsing for her role in the next Keanu movie? Maybe she's a psychic tool of war, like River. Or maybe she's a reever. Oh, and Anonymous, I'm not saying any of the groups about whom I espoused positive racist beliefs can't do a lot of other things too, I'm just saying if you're scandinavian and you show up to my audition and your competition is black or irish, you might as well go home. Unless, of course, the script is Swedish. Which it might just be given my recent proclivities. And I'd like to add that asians have directed some mighty fine movies.
oh, an anonymous, I guess it is okay to keep posting anonymously but you should come up with a different name. I could still pretend to not know who you are but you could have a clever name or something to set you apart from the crowd.
Apants, I knew you'd see the light.
In future, I shall answer to Tag.

As for her affliction, I recommend a cold bleach enema; it's said to have remarkable curative powers.
Tag? I like it. It is simple, yet unusual. So Tag, let me give you a run down on the other commenters. Anonyma is my sister, the rest are friends from college. Ailsa is my neice, just about 4 months old now. And if they haven't figured out who you are yet then they are a little more dense than I am. I wonder how you feel about anonymous comments on your blog?
Thanks, glad you like it.
I don't mind anonymous comments, so long as they are interesting, amusing or instructive.... like mine always are.
You seem cheerful today. that's good!
