What to Do? What to Say?

So the entire month of February passed me by. I'd like to say that I was extremely busy and never at my computer...this is untrue. Yes, I was rehearsing for Evita and commuting to DC to work, and driving/train-ing up to CT but to say that I had no time to write something would be a lie. Truth be told, I'm not sure I had a use for blogging anymore. I had a wonderful time describing my Walnut Street Theatre adventure in the fall (and I hope you enjoyed reading it!) but, I didn't think I could come up with more interesting facts for the next rehearsal process. And certainly my day to day activities aren't exciting enough to post for all the world to see. (And by that, I mean like the 8 or 9 people that follow my blog...or at least used to before I stopped posting for 2 months.) I needed/wanted to turn this into something different.

The problem is, I don't yet know what that might be. Nonetheless, blogging is what kept me writing, and therefore kept my creative juices flowing, and therefore I worked on my plays and stories which are in many different stages of incomplete. I could probably draw a correlation between the fact that I haven't been blogging and the fact that I haven't written a word creatively since January.

So, until I find a purpose for my blog, I'm just going to come and write on it. Probably about nothing. Maybe I'll rant about something that really doesn't matter, or shrug off something that really does. I have a talent for both of those things.

It is currently March 25th. I have exactly one month to make my next life decision: where do I live? In all honesty, I'm hoping to get a gig between now and then so I can continue to not make this decision. This is looking less and less likely, however, due to my being a Union actor who doesn't yet have his physical card in hand. So, that leaves the options. DC. Philly. NJ. NY. CT. NH. (for the summer, sort of a mini-break/writing-only time). Ah the options are many...and it totally stresses me out.

In more fun news, I'm having a glorious time doing Evita. Argentina has become my sanctuary. I don't have to think about anything that is saddening or stressing me out. I have always said that I have this awesome (and lucky?!) ability to step on stage and leave everything else behind. Never has it been more true than with this show. At the same time, never have I ever been more exhausted after a show. haha.

There is one thing I can update you on, which I may or may not have mentioned in the past, and which will probably become a major part of my blog. The Wing Tour. The main players are me and Courtney (a dear friend from work, for those of you who haven't met her). It is sort of a side bar to the Fellowship of the Beer, which is an important post-work extravaganza that happens weekly. (Well, minus the 3 month hiatus it took while I was in Philly and not commuting to DC for work). Anyway, The Wing Tour is basically this: Eat Wings in as many places as possible and judge them. So far, Court and I have been to Hard Time in Bethesda, Buffalo Wild Wings in Rockville, Moriarty's in Philly, Wings Over Washington in DC, and Clyde's in Rockville. I know it doesn't sound like much yet, but it will become much, much more! We have plans to go to Buffalo-to the place that apparently invented the idea of eating wings-as well as my favorite wings place on the planet Bidwell's Tavern in Coventry, CT. Plus, anywhere and everywhere in between. So far Moriarty's is in first place.

As for my writing, which I think I may also use this to talk about. The Crayon Play-which still doesn't have a title-has a second draft completed. I plan to shop it around to children's theatres as soon as I figure out how to do that...haha. I have also started an adaptation of Make Way for Ducklings and several other of my favorite children's books. I'm currently searching for someone to collaborate with so I can turn some of them into musicals. I pride myself in being a good musician, but unfortunately that doesn't equal being able to compose. No matter what I try, it all sounds like something that is already a song. Oh well!

No show tonight. I'm probably going to go see a movie. Watch one of my netflix movies. And then watch basketball. GO CORNELL!!! Weeeeeeeee!
