Inquiry

Let's say you are a famous actor in Hollywood hanging out at a fun Hollywood party, and a famous model comes up to you.

She says, "I love your movies."

Is the appropriate response "Thank you, I love your face." ?

Van Fucking Halen

I saw Van Halen last night.

Eddie Van Halen is the real guitar hero. I don't know who you n00bs think you're fooling.

Dear Self,

It is smart to get a flu shot.
It will keep you from being sick.
Stop being so afraid of needles.
Stop feeling like you're going to pass out from thinking about it.
Stop visualizing it over and over. It will make you throw up.

Now man it up.

Love,
Self

The Harold

It's been forever since I did one. The last time was 7 months ago, on March 5th in the level 4 showcase.

Rehearsing last night was like jumping into water and then realizing it's ice cold.

I love the Harold, I truly truly do. But there are things I haven't practiced in so long that I felt a little chaotic trying to do one. I think my former 5b-ers felt that way too. After all, everyone else in the group has been doing Harolds for the past 2(?) schedules.

Scenework is scenework, but it's the other things that were a shock to come back to. Like the group games. To me these can either be the most fun or the most muddled. My favorite games are the ones that don't involve standing and staring at each other or, as Joe Bill calls it, the "half circle of doom".

I think I just love the sense of play and freedom that can come with doing anything besides that.

A Holly quote popped into my head after rehearsing, "It's just another tool for your tool belt". I'd forgotten all about it. I've forgotten so much.

And suddenly, I think I understand why Jon DeWalt re-took Level 4...

So Far...

My birthday has been quite fun - and it's not really even til tomorrow.

Family mailed me gifts, and I had a lovely dinner followed by a party on Saturday night.

PLUS - Adal gave me tickets to Van Halen. I smiled so hard after I opened them that my face started hurting. I'm very.very.very. excited. Don't laugh at me. I love Van Halen.
