New Play!

Made of very old ones. Auditions went swimmingly well, even if they weren't particularly well-run... Chris and I should work together well, though I'm still not sure what it is we're going to be making together...

Still, I am working in the Xperimental Theatre. I'll let the name be my guide.

My little trick paid off. I posted a call-back list and all the actors trouped in thinking they had to work hard again, read more lines, sweat it out. Then I held up the list that they'd all seen with pleasure (and a little nervousness perhaps) that morning and said "See this list? This is the cast list." There were even a couple double-takes. Beautiful. It's a cast of 17, which should be just about right...

Rehearsals start on Tuesday, I'm so jazzed.

The only thing lacking still is a job, but I have high hopes of this temp agency. If I hear nothing by Friday however, I start getting more aggressive. Possibly with the wanted ads.

Settling back in

It's been an interesting few days. I got home and almost immediately went to see my apartment and sign my lease. The next day was spent moving in and then I went to the woods.

It's only today that I'm starting to feel that I'm home. My apartment is about 2/3's in order and excepting for a bit of confusion over what day it is, I seem to be managing just fine.

Apollo's none too happy however, he doesn't like the apartment yet, as he verbalized quite clearly to me last night, all night long. He'll settle in soon I'm sure, but for the moment, it's awfully annoying.

I have my first meeting of my only class of my last semester in about an hour. It's nice that I can finally take this class, I've been waiting for years. It's also a blessing to have this directing project starting, as it will keep me from missing London too much.

I still need to get a job too, but that's a task for tomorrow, today I'm not going to worry too much about it.
