I think I’m ready for it to be over now.

On Saturday, between back-to-back auditions and a read-through, Kat and I broke up.
So that’s pretty momentous.
I’ll refrain from inflicting any moping on you right now.
I’m intentionally not making this a post all about that.
But that’s pretty much the biggest deal.
She got me fleur-de-lis cufflinks for Christmas.
I don’t think I could ever wear them without feeling ashamed.
Okay, no more emo kid, I promise. (At least, not here.)

Rang in the new year at the Brave New Workshop with Kat, Nick, and all the BNW folks.
Saw their holiday show, had some champagne while sitting and standing around super-awkwardly,
(I’m a blast at parties.)
Then watched the midnight improv set.
Their “first improv set of 2008.”
It was very good, and very long.
The set had four solid, brilliant endings, but the lights just kept staying on,
So they kept on a’keepin’ on.
The whole thing was solidly entertaining.

Nick turned my age on Monday.
We went to Green Mill Saturday night and enjoyed the fuck out of some pesto & cream cheese pizza.
We spent Monday evening at Ed & Kaylea’s,
Watching Battlestar Galactica, eating Popeye’s, and drinking Surly.
We ooze class.
Incidentally, I also ooze pus.
(The others don’t. At least not right now.)

By the way, if you haven’t done so, you should watch Slings & Arrows.
From now on, I’m going to model myself after Paul Gross’ character.
Just so you know.

I auditioned for the Red Eye’s Have You Seen Steve Steven?
And got called back, but not cast.
Right before the Red Eye callback Saturday morning, I had an audition at the Science Museum.
That one, I got.
I’ll be performing in a short piece about the Holocaust for a eugenics exhibit.
Happy!
The other actor in my role is Bob Malos, and we’ll be performing with Stephanie Long and Jen Scott.
Randy Reyes directs.
That’s gonna happen in February and March.
Hooray for paid acting work.

Saturday night, I attended the first read-through of a Henry IV, Part I staged reading.
It’s going to be a fundraiser for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma research and patient services.
That’ll be March 10th at the Lowry Lab in St. Paul.

I was a reader for GTC callbacks last night, which was fun.
Then I ran to a read-through of The Spooner Sisters,
A feature-length horror film I agreed to do.
I’ll let you know how that goes.

Next Monday, I’ll be doing a Playwrights’ Center roundtable reading.
Then, the following Saturday, rehearsals begin for The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window.
Need to get cracking on my memorization.

Sorry this post is so damn boring.
I’m not a writer, and I’m not feeling terribly creative.
So you get a laundry list of what I’ve been doing and am about to do.
(There’s other stuff I could get into, but I’ll exercise discretion.)
I’m just writing this crap down for my own records.
I know this isn’t entertaining, nor do I think anyone should give a damn.
Blogs are wasting our lives.
