Still in my new home on Wordpress. Just stumbling over for a quick visit. Hullo.

A forgotten favorite that just popped into my head...

Vertical Horizon
Best I ever had (Grey Sky Morning)

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring

Nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now

[Chorus]
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had

So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely

Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better

[Chorus]
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't need me back
You're just the best I ever had

And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You're always right

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring

What was it you wanted
Could it be I'm haunted

[Chorus]
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
I don't want you back
You're just the best I ever had
The best I ever had

The "Year in Review" meme:

Go to your LJ calendar. Find the first entry for each month. Copy-paste the first line from the entries next to the corresponding month. That's the year in review, in a nutshell.

Yeah. That pretty much covers it...

As many times as I've heard this song, as many videos as I've seen of it being performed, it's never made me cry until now.



So beautiful. I love it.

I'm trying to get myself to write a blog tonight at WordPress but I'm just so... not in the mood. Ugh. I need to learn to *get* in the mood, because ooh have I been slacking...

Back to the attempt, I guess.

Posted a new blog on WP.

Dedicated to my bro.

Peace out, foo's.

A video of my favorite atheist libertarian ever talking political parties:

Wait... Jake: Are you a libertarian? Maybe it can be a tie...

Hi all.

I'm in a show that Previews tonight; "The Philadelphia Story" at Waukesha Civic Theatre on Main St. in downtown Waukesha. It's been loads of fun to work on so it's almost a shame to reach opening weekend because it means the experience is nearly over! Though I'm sure we're all looking forward to the prospect of having our evenings back to ourselves, so I imagine we'll get over it. ;)


Synopsis, etc. of the show from the WCT website:

The cast includes Ruth Arnell (Tracy Lord), Ramon Campos (Mac & Doctor Parsons), Ruth Caves (May), Jeff Davis (Willie Tracy), Eric Eggers (Sandy Lord), Will Elwood (CK Dexter Haven), Haley Gray-Hoehn (Dinah Lord), Beth Keller (Elsie), Jenny Kosek (Liz Imbrie), Ann Morrow (Margaret Lord), Mark Neufang (Mike Connor), Jeff Porter (George Kittredge), Jim Volden (Seth Lord), and Scott Wendelberger (Thomas).

Reva Fox is the Director. The production staff and crew includes: Costume Designer Aleta Bernard, Co-Properties Designer Kris Kingstad, Wig Master Anthony Mackie, Stage Manager Debi Mumford, Sound Designer John Santroch, Co-Properties Designer Monica Santroch, and Scenic Designer, Master Carpenter and Set Decorator Michael Talaska.

Two people I *must* make special mention of from that list: Michael Talaska and Haley Gray-Hoehn. Michael, the set designer, has once again accomplished weird and amazing things. When we all first saw this set finally pulled together we literally "Oooooh"ed and then broke out into applause. And that Haley girl playing Dinah Lord is an absolute doll. If you're receiving this email and you ever find yourself needing to cast teens (Donna: She sings!), the show is worth checking out if only to pre-audition her. Talented little pistol, this one, and takes direction like a dream.

A side note on tickets:
I believe there are cheaper rush ticket options available, but I couldn't tell you the first thing about when they're available or how much they are. I would strongly recommend that you contact the box office by phone when purchasing your tickets to confirm the rush time/cost, and to confirm ticket availability before waiting to show up to get in. There is also a Pay-What-You-Can option during the final Saturday matinee (2 pm, Saturday November 22nd).

This is one of the friendliest, most amiable casts I've ever worked with. I'm proud of what we've all worked together to accomplish, excited about the opportunity to work with Reva (audition for her if you can!), and looking forward to sharing the fun with you. And if you should come out to the show, let me know you're there so I can be sure to pop out and say hi. :D
