An update of sorts.

Well aren't I just the neglectful type.

The fact that I can check several blogs on this same site every day and never remember to update my own is a testament to the absolute and utter ruin that my memory and motivation have become. I am become sloth, destroyer of afternoons and eater of many, many donuts.

I know not many people read this, but for those who do, here is a quick update on my goings on (I stole the idea from Black Smoke Factory...sorry Matt) .

The theme of the month is insecurity, I think. Still looking for a job, but the current economic situation pretty much only leaves nursing and paralegal jobs around here. not much good for a kid with an English degree. The one job I had some confidence in and was holding out hope for was filled without my knowledge, so I am now entirely without prospects. I'd apply at Starbucks but not even they are hiring right now. Damn you America! If only you people would pay off your credit cards on time... oh well. One other thing that's holding me back in the job search right now is the fact that I have a two-month commitment to a show coming up and I need most evenings off, something which a lowly service job is reluctant (and usually unable) to provide. And once that's over, I still don't know exactly what I want to do now that my dream job's dried up. Here's hoping, I guess.

Speaking of the show, that's the one thing that's got me in all sorts of twisty brain shapes at the moment. I'm super psyched to be doing MoJo at Dad's Garage Theater this February. The show is great, and the cast and crew include some of the most talented people I've ever met in my life. I can't wait to see how it comes out, because I'm sure it will be great... but there is one problem. I haven't acted in any serious way since I was in elementary school. Since then I've dicked around in many a project but most of it came down to improv and very short written things. This thing is about eighty pages of dialogue that gives Clerks a run for its money in sheer volume. Anyone can memorize lines given the right amount of time, but it's just a lot of pressure now that schedules and money and other people are involved. I hope I'm just being "green" about it, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intimidated by this thing. That being said, still way excited. Come check it out as long as you're not my parents.

Oh, and CAMPUS Strike Force has been going well. There's some rough spots here and there, but overall I'm glad I got the chance to do it and I think it'll be a good lesson in how to do (and not do) improv in that kind of setting once all is said and done. Thanks to anyone who's seen the show.

That's about it, aside from stupid things like New Year's Resolutions coming up and various other stuff. I'll do that in another entry. Till then!
