It's been a very slow day at the bank. A very calm, slow day in general - Josh and I both slept in later than usual (6:30am) but neither of us were terribly worked up over the 30 minutes lost to sleep rather than preparation. And, other than a discussion with a couple co-workers about the State of the Union upon arriving at work, nothing too ( Read more... )

I am so into Lost...I absolutely have to know what happens but I don't want to know too soon. It's like Christmas presents - you want to know everything right now but really you don't want to miss out on the perfectly planned moment of surprise. I love that I can't figure it out but it absolutely drives me crazy! I'm borrowing season 2 from ( Read more... )

I've been trying to work on mastering a British accent lately. I'm beginning to think that just watching BBC films aren't quite enough. My voice ends up sounding very whiny and high when I use the accent - my version of it. What I think I've done is comine every British, Irish, and Scotish accent I've ever heard into one comglomerate dialect all ( Read more... )

Last night, Josh and I went to Ikea - a truly great store which has my full recommendation, for anyone who cares. I can now say, with a gleeful heart, that we have finally replaced all boxes in our apartment with actual furniture. So, if there's anyone out there looking for a cardboard side table, you're welcome to mine! I feel just a bit more ( Read more... )

It was a slow day at Beacon Bank. The excessively rich people in the area, who would normally be harassing the meek little tellers as to the the $.01 descrepency in their checkbook register, were already off on their Christmas vacations to various topical resorts. The last few procrastinating shoppers had rushed in the day before to withdraw ( Read more... )

I'm a Capulet! Not Juliet, a little sad, but still...I get to fight with the Montegues! Something to put on my resume - more Shakespeare - a new director - a whole new set of actors - more experience...all wonderful reasons to be thrilled to have a part - all be it a small one - in this show. I still refused to be convinced that I cannot someday ( Read more... )

Oh for snow...oh to be frolicking in its poofy whiteness. I am thoroughly bitter at the state of Minnesota for denying me the snowy winter I thought it was so famous for. Did I move here for the theatres, for Josh's education, for close proximity to relatives?? No, no, no! I moved here for the snow - the blustery winters, the icey roads. The ( Read more... )

I was just most sweetly asked out on a date by a bank customer. He chose a rather unwise mode of asking...slipping a note onto the counter of my teller station. Wow...I'm pretty sure my heart stopped for a second. I'm still pretty fresh as a teller and the robbery training videos weren't all that long ago. Other than that, though, how cute...I ( Read more... )

Tonight I'm audition for the role of Juliet in that so very well-known Shakespeare play. I'm mucho excited. I almost don't even care if I get the part or not, but really I do. I'm so cliche, but I've wanted to play Juliet since I read the play in high school. The reading for the audition is the part right after Juliet finds out about Tybalt's ( Read more... )

Oh my...
