Manual Labor

I made a stuff!
I got this cool thing at Savers. It had a lot nasty varnish on it.

So I stripped the hell out of it. It was so fun and satisfying!

I wanted it horizontal at first, but I simply couldn't move my bird puppet, so I went vertical.

I love it so.

Busy Bee

I've had a great busy Fall!
Grocery shopping...
Hanging out...
Winning the Lottery on TV...
Playing Sister Bear at a fair...
Leah and Mathilde visited!
Since Leah calls her Tilly, she had to wear Tillie's bike helmet!
And then there's this. And it is good.

Summertime Funtimes

I went on a houseboat.
With my gorgeous friends.
It was amazing.
Then there was Lake House Dream, with other gorgeous friends.
Also amazing.
And Wedding Summer Camp! Labor Day. 4 days of love.
Love, love, love all around.

I'm Fired

I have so many things to talk about! Why don't I ever update my blog??
I am happy. Very happy. I am going to do a montage of my Summer/Fall, to update the world.

Pain in the Head

Want to see what a migraine feels like? This is my view, from my yoga mat, looking in the direction of my bathroom. No, that is NOT a gun on the floor, it's my orange phone.
I am not in full-blown migraine zone. I am in week-long, low drone, won't-go-away, nauseous, why aren't any of my meds working, but you can't do this to me I'm in rehearsals, zone.
Fun times.

It's Always Something

Magic Mouthwash? Yes please!
I always get the illnesses that make great stories. Allergic to cold wind? Bacterial infection in my mouth? Extreme-emotion induced migraines? Wait. That last one is self-diagnosed.
Good thing I like all my doctors.
Compass in hand, I stay the course. Finished 2 show runs that overlapped, and came out on the other side tired, elated and ready for more. And my heart is happy, on top of it.
Now the rest of August is filled with roadtrips and looking at maps.

New York June 2010

New York.

The Toy Theatre Festival at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn.

Performed Love, Go Figure with Michael and Sue.

It was rainy, grey, and amazing.

Kyle did his show at the festival too. And we got to hang out. Perfect.

Inspired by Exit Through the Gift Shop, I kept my eye out for cool graffiti. Hopefully there are good shots of Banksy stuff in my 1/2 frame camera.

Life is Wonderful. (yes. it is.)

Love is the answer.

Go Figure.

Check In

And so just like that, it's summer. Windows are open, fan is on.

I am slowly getting my cameras out.

I started working on The Picnic Show at Open Eye.

"Playing" tennis with the Big Hitters Wooden Racket Tennis Club on Sunday mornings.

I found a Polaroid SX-70 at the Flea Market for 20 bucks!!!

iloveit iloveit iloveit!!!

Saw Exit Through the Gift Shop yesterday.

#1, I am in love with Banksy

#2, O, balloons. You keep coming into my life.

Spring Is Here...

... There's No Mistaking Robins, Building Nests, From Coast To Coast...

Not Forgetting You, Bloggoh

Greetings, Bloggoh. I have been missing for a while. I am back.

Hiding in the Open closed over a week ago, and nothing stopped.

I am taking a breather from working on my taxes to share.

First act dress. Hiding in the Open.

2 Sabinas. What a cool lady, bright and funny. I wanna be like her when I'm 87.

Last week was the Toy Theatre After Dark show. I performed in Love, Go Figure. Once again on stage with Michael Sommers. The Crazy Tornado of Awesome. And the show is going to the New York Toy Theatre Festival in June!! Open Eye FIELD TRIP!!

Spring has sprung. I am breathing. It won't be this perfect for long.

Life in (on) Stages

Hardest rehearsal process I've ever been part of.

This is how I picture Sabina and Joseph on their dates.

Sabina will be there on opening night. I really don't want to screw up telling her story.

I Just Know It

I am standing in line at Walgreens waiting for my H1N1 Flu Vaccine, in front of a young mom and her 6-ish year old daughter;

Mom: Where could we go on a trip?

Girl: California.

Mom: What would we see in California?

Girl: The Golden Gate Bridge.

Mom: Really? How do you know that? Do you know someone who has been to California?

Girl: I just know it.
