So the resolution passed. And now we wait for a full house vote. As expected Bush and Rice are shitting in their pants, Turkey is whining and pissed off, and I could not be happier. I don't know if this speaks to the sly smarminess or the sheer stupidity of our president, but he labels the event as: historic mass killings. Hello? That is what a genocide is. The logical part of me understand

The Armenian Resolution So I have been following a series of articles about the House resolution calling for the recognition of the mass Armenian killings in Turkey at the turn of the century as a genocide. Any literate moron who reads about the history and see the pictures would know it was a genocide and not some by-product of the WWI, as the Turkish government claims. Mind you, their

My apologies to Sara for taking so long to get this up. I have no excuse really. But before I get to the random facts... Things are hectic, but good. Although, I have put writing to the backburner right now, I am working on several projects that are keeping me busy. Proofing for Kensington is a tremendous help to my income and I like the work. It's easy for me. And I get paid essentially

What in the hell is up with this weather??? This is summer? It was like 58 yesterday and like 60 something today. And we are back to the 90s by Saturday. And people say there is no global warming. Pshaw, I say. Pshaw. In other news, there is no other news. I have nothing new to offer.

So I forced myself to stay up until 2 am this morning finishing the last Harry Potter book. I forced myself not to read at my usual speed so I could prolong the ending (re-read book 6 in two days) and so I could enjoy every moment. It was definitely sad. I enjoy books. I love losing myself in them. And I found myself on edge and loving it throughout this one. Of course, when the book first came

I signed into Blogger and got to the post page and realized I don't really have anything to say. The summer is slow and hot. I can't seem to get myself out of the bedroom, but at least I have managed to start writing again. Finished three short stories in about four days and now I edit and rewrite like any good writer. If these sell to magazines (please....someone) then I can use that to get

Bush commutes Libby's prison sentence - CNN.com I don't get this. Good Ol' Dub is truly turning out to be the stupidest and worst president of the U.S. beyond even what I could imagine. Just when you think a politician could not sink any lower, he has found levels in a swamp bog that not even a mummified caveman could reach. He commuted Libby's sentence?!?!?!

So I have essentially become a recluse in my own apartment. I think I left my place in the last four days for a total of an hour, and I am being generous. I can't seem to motivate myself to get out and do anything. Even writing seems like such a daunting task for me. I did get one bite and sent in the additional requested pages, but I am sure that will take time. I have some really great

And, no, I am not talking about the white fluffy things that could take off your head with one swipe. I refer to polar opposites. There I go trying to be witty again... Few people know that I enjoy watching sports of certain kinds. The assumption that I am in theatre from some reason precludes any additional interests when the fact is that I grew up a jock playing multiple sports and watched

Ok, so I have everything set to do what I want it to do on the new site with the exception of two things: 1) This odd lack of capitalization after the first post (which does not happen in Firefox). 2) The opacity of my side menu which is affecting my content as well and should not be. Still trying to fix things....until then....back wo work I go.

Forgive some of the hiccups in the new design. Trying to work out all the kinks as best as I can before I can say it is completley done. But I can't test anything unless I upload it, so for a day or two you get some weird looking stuff.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is an idiot and a dolt. I am watching her getting chewed up by Rosie and Joy. Now we are on a split-screen and Rosie and Blondie are going at it and now the latter dealt a low blow with a Trump attack. Watching moments like this makes quite clear why she decided not to "renew" her contract. I think it is quite telling when Rosie takes every opportunity to reach out and

Just letting everyone know that my new headshots are in which means I can finally create my actor site which means I will move all my theatre news to the site. I want to keep this blog as a personal reflections/social analysis blog. Separate business from pleasure as it is. Also keeps me politically safe and sound :) I do have my myspace for my actor stuff right now, so all FL friends and fam

God I Hope I Get It....Indeed Ok, so...yeah... A New Brain is going so well. The cast is great. The director is amazing. The set is incredible. The people are SO effin nice. I just love these people. It is the first time in a long time that I am really going to miss going to rehearsal and being around these people. Not sure if this is a fluke or the norm up here, but bring it on. We open this

Spring Has Sprung I wish I could say I had not updated because I have been isanely busy rubbing elbows and sweating it out in 12 hour rehearsals. But alas, I was stricken by sloth. Rehearsals are going well for A New Brain, which opens next Friday. Great cast. Great directors. I enjoy myself every single time I am there. After that is done, I get a short break, during which I hope to get

Playbill Article A New Brain - Playbill My name is on it (well, the alter name). Weird and cool. I totally feel like the geeky camp kid whose picture appears in the local paper. Consider it the lingering effect of still being two-months fresh in NY.

A Slight Lull 17 days later and I think the recent up swell of auditions is dying down a little. I have mixed feelings about it. Part of me is glad I don't have to wake up at 7 in the morning, and the other part needs to keep going and be seen. Since the last update I had only 2 days off, thankfully, and was auditioning like a mad man. My top was four in a day (which is nothing compared to the

Auditioning is a Full-Time Job And if you think I am kidding...HELL NO. I feel like I work a 7 to 5 job during the week and then re-energize during the weekend. I am SO thankful for my online jobs as I cannot imagine how I could this without them. So a recap of auditions (coz I am sure you LOVE reading about it): March 7 - I know I had an audition, but I can't remember for what. Must not

Auditions Galore! I never thought auditions could be so exhausting. The waking up early (usually 7 am for a 10 am audition). The waiting all day (sometimes until 6 pm). Getting home, or trying to get on the sardine subway suring rush hour. Urgh... But it's good practice. I am finally getting to the point where I just don't care. I go there, wait, and by the time I get to audition I am

Is the Apt. Building on a Treadmill? In a wee little snowstorm. The snow is blowing sideways. Literally right to left across the street. I feel like the whole street is on a conveyor belt. It's pretty. No doubt this will wear out with time. But for now. I like. More of an update later on the goings-on of last week.

Well That Honeymoon Ended Quickly I knew that the Xanadu audition was too good to be true and that I was being spoiled for my first time. I went to an audition yesterday and today, while I did not have to wait in a long line all day, thankfully, I did get to experience waiting for an hour or so only to be sent home. Here is the order of those who get to be seen: 1) Equity members who get

XANADU! So at the last minute last night I decided to go to the open call for the upcoming production of Xanadu, directed by Christopher Ashley. Not one funny remark, please. I figured it was time to get my feet wet and get used to the process so I can become numb to it and not be as nervous. The morning started out swimmingly as I went to the the AEA building on 146 instead of the Chelsea

Security Cameras Are Fun So my apartment building is monitored by security cameras. On our second day here, while setting up the living room TV, we realized that channel 19 on the TV was tuned into the lobby camera so we could see who was buzzing us or just to people watch. As we have come to learn quite quickly, random people always buzz apartments when they need to get in due to forgotten

And Let the Love Begin Three places in two days that make me glad I live in this city: I am a huge fan of cannolis. Love them . And cheesecake. Forget it. Thanks to my friend Amanda, I was introduced to this popular bakery in the east village that puts Alessi in Tampa to shame. It smells absolutely amazing and they don't rape you on the prices. Nothing looks old and haggard and it all
