Holy crap I'm evil.
The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Seventh 2003-05-05 10:42:00 Macbeth Well one weekend is over.
We had opening weekend of Macbeth this past Friday and on the overall I think that things went really well. There were a few minor technical glitches but nothing too major. It just felt great to finally be on stage again in front of people. There is tons of fun in rehearsals and working to get it all right but when the moment arrives where you have to get on stage and actually do it, there is nothing like it. There was a stressful moment, there is a point where I have to play a different character and it was decided that I should age myself so that I don't look like the same person which meant making my hair gray and the works and then making sure I can take it out before I go onstage again. All in all a blast, the cast for this show has been so nice and fun to hang out with that I hate to see it be over. Especially since we have only been together as a full cast, instead of individual scenes, for a few weeks and now people are making friends and stuff. Collin is still straight, drat, but very nice to talk to and he loves Apple too. But there are two more weeks so if you want to see it let me know.
So the plays and the parties afterwards were my Friday and Saturday.
Next: Saw X2 over the weekend, well actually Friday at 10:00am cause I took the day off of work. Hhehehe, it was a great movie. I was floored but how tight and compact it was and the fact that there was an actual story with conflicts and characters. Sure there are 20 mutants on screen at one time but you still know that each person has their own individuality and spirit. I will certainly see it again.
Finally, last night my co-worker and I went to see Richard III at The Shakespeare Theatre. All I can say is that this was such a fantastic show that I was speechless when I left. Wallace Acton is pure genius. I'm looking at his bio and he has been nominated for the Helen Hayes award 8 times and won twice. He was a pure joy to watch and added funny moments to a very very serious and deep play. All the killings were very cool, especially the Lord Grey and Lord Rivers murder. And the set was incredible and the sound was beautiful and the lights spectacular.... Very good show that if you can get too, you should see 2003-05-06 20:58:00 HOLY FUCK BUFFY ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
had to share 2003-05-06 11:54:00 Mood: Contemplative Hamster is alive So I was talking to someone last night about friendship and love and we have been having this conversation over and over and we both seem to stand on opposite shores with no clear answer out there. But now after thinking about it all I can't help but feel that maybe I am not the best friend in the world or maybe I’m just thinking too much about this. But I feel now that maybe I am too self serving, self absorbed and by being so I am neglecting my friends. I can't think the last time I say Kim or Peter or Jen or Kelley or the whole crew in Laurel or Colin and the folks in VA. I don't call people everyday, much less every week but does this make me a bad person? Everyone, I hope, knows that you all are my family and would give up anything for you all.....maybe this should have been a private journal entry for me alone. I want to see more people and do more things but I haven't the time. Maybe it's all cause I HATE my job and am dying to get a new one. Who knows. But after talking to said friend last night and being berated for being a bad person I had to clear my head. Its still not clear and I'm sure I can do more to be there ... oh well. There are only so many hours in the day. 2003-05-07 21:59:00 Angel Freaky! What a really good, under appreciated show. And the amulet! And next week on Buffy! And Conner! And Wolfram and hart! wow, freaky and so good. WB better renew it!" 2003-05-09 09:40:00 Wonder Twin Powers Activate! Yeah so we have there two people in my office that are driving me nuts. Not in the bad way but in the very very good way. There is a woman who looks like a young Michelle Phieffffer (whatever), with big eyes and these incredible lips. And she is prone to wearing really red lipstick. Her hair is blonde and, well the image that comes to mind is the 90s hair that Meg Ryan had in When Harry Met Sally, but not that bad. She's very cute with nice smooth skin. And shy.
The other is this guy who is building this software for us and I have seen him a few times but never really talked. Now that I am in charge of testing and I have to test is work I had a chance to talk to him. First off he is an eye looker. He has beautiful blue eyes and always looks at you when he talks. Very nice. He is also blonde and a reddish tint to his skin. He's about 6'2 and 200 but big boned. Not fat at all, when he stretched there was no fat on him but he has huge hands and arms and is so very yummy. And I get to work with both of them today. Its a good Friday.
And the play is tonight. YAY. :)
He’s in a chair right behind me! hehehehe" 2003-05-10 11:14:00Perchance to dream So I had an interesting dream last night as I recall but the longer I am awake the less and less I remember. But the gist was - I was at the theatre getting things prepped for the show, there is this door in the floor that I have always been intrigues to see where it goes so I open it and the is a stairway leading down. I take it and I think there was a tunnel that I followed cause I ended up in Ireland. Gotta love dreams. But I was on this old castle. Now it gets really fuzzy. But my friend Joe was there and we talked about something and then it ended with me being chased by some guy with a gun screaming that I didn't belong there. Drat even as I type it I forget it all.
Oh well. I was just happy to remember a dream. 2003-05-12 15:21:00 So the weekend... ...was good. It was basically a weekend of plays. But that is what I love so it was all good. I had shows Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I got to hang out with my friends a little on Saturday afternoon and that was nice. Sunday was mother's day and we did the church thing, still haven't burst into flames though the pastoress kept looking at me, and then did brunch. My nephew is getting so damn cute. I bought him a 'dixie cup' cap at the Naval Academy (sigh) and he looked really cute in it. He's such a great kid.
The shows for the play went well. We had nice crowds for all the shows, even the Sunday matinee was like 36 people. Saturday was like 70 or more. Tons of fun.
There is more news about stuff but I don't want to jinx it so I will keep it quiet for now. 2003-05-12 10:08:00 YAY Hot damn! Great news for a Monday morning. I need to thank Kim for send the email links to Ainitcoolnews.com that says Angel is being renewed for a whole season! YAY. Go to the link are read about it but there are character spoilers. And apparently a lot of the writers of Buffy are jumping to Angel. SWEET!
Happy now I am. 2003-05-13 11:25:00 is there an RM rehearsal this week? I wanted to stop by 2003-05-13 10:03:00 Mood: weird hor ny

tonight is buffy. almost over. sigh. 2003-05-14 00:30:00 Buffy Well only one more week left and I can't wait. I mean I hate for it to be over but I am so intrigued by tonight’s show that I am going crazy. Dawn with the tazer! Damn girl. If she gets herself killed I will me most upset. And the speech that Spike and Buffy had was so freaking cool. And what's with Angel being all cocky like. I guess I am glad that there wasn't the tearful hello and all that crap but I wasn't ready for that. And The First getting all cozy with Spike again! I mean I know he doesn't die but something is really going to fuck with him. I was also surprised that all those girls survived the explosion. And how cute was the dialogue between Anya and Andrew. The one thing that I hope is that the effects, which look a little like Lord of the Rings, aren't too cheesy. I know they were allowed to go way over budget on the last show but I am a little scared. But who am I kidding, I will love it anyway. 2003-05-18 10:20:00 I got the part!!!!!!!! 2003-05-21 10:38:00 Buffy Okay, so like could Buffy have been better! Oh my god that was the best show. I am still upset that Anya died, but as I look back I kinda knew it was gonna happen. But at least she died pissed and angry and all about the bunny. And I loved how understated the Willow power thing was. She didn't go all nuts and that was cool. And Andrew is so freaking cool. I loved his speech when he pulled out the paper and was thanking all the people who helped him. And Spike, so cool. I am intrigued to see how he comes back next season on Angel. And Angel, I was so glad that he was only on Buffy for a short period of time last night. i liked that. And how cool was the scene with Buffy, Willow, Xander and Giles all talking about what they were going to do after they win. Just like the old days. It was a great show and so easy to tell that Joss wrote it. A good ending. 2003-05-21 10:10:00 Macbeth... ...is over. Our last show was this past Sunday and now there is the feeling of loss. Maybe that's a strong word but these people were really really cool and not being around them and acting with them is something that I really miss. Overall the run was very successful. As far as money and all it's hard cause I'm not involved with that aspect in this troop but we had 3/4 houses (75 people) most nights and half houses on Sundays.
But it really was a great experience and we all got together at the director's house after the last show on Sunday and hung out and talked. I plan to have pictures up soon too and the review as well.
Now onto the movie. 2003-05-23 12:03:00 Men yeah ok so the Russian thing was a silly rant [edit]. BOOT TO THE HEAD!!!!! 2003-05-23 11:13:00

Good Movies
So I found this great theatre. Well it's been there for a while but I never knew about it. The AMC theatres in Mazza Gallarie have this great set up called the club room. Basically its a movie and a bar. So while I was watching Bruce Almighty tonight I was also enjoying a nice Guinness. They have a full bar and a good selection of beer. No smoking though. But it was cool. For a non-matinee movie, it's $12.50. Kinda high but worth it. And the beer was $5.50. It was cool :)

Matrix
So I have had a few days to digest what I have seen in the Matrix Reloaded and I think that it is an excellent movie. Nay, an excellent fist half of a movie. I can so confused by why people don't like it. I have spoke with someone here at the office and his basic thing was that there was too much talking. Pardon me but isn't that what makes a movie move forward? I was on the edge of my seat watching this and I thought that everything was perfect and too make much of a point before we see Revolutions is hasty. The Keymaker was awesome. I was drooling during the Architect scene cause it was done so well. And the whole 'orgy' in Zion thing rocked. I want to see it again. And again.
Question: what was the name of the kid the Neo apparently saved and that always following him down in Zion?

...is the best news channel. I like them anyway but the recent crop o' hotties make the news so much more fun. Daryn Kagan (i think that's how you spell her name) is so freaking hot that I find myself wanting to mount the television. Oh, I just found a picture of her: . There are better pics out there but I have to find them. The other one is Rob Marciano (sp) and he is the new weather guy. Freaking dreamy. That would be him on right. Duh. There is also this woman who works the White House that is really cute as well. Blond, smiley and all that. Big hair tho. There is another one I want to sandwich and I can't think of the name.... Drat. I need to watch less news or maybe focus on the stories. Oh I know it! Kevin Sites. Tall, great chin and face and shoulder length hair. Woof.
