I just received an invitation to Dene's baby shower. I took a look at their registry and they only have a handful of things, most of which are less than ten dollars. Apparently, Dene didn't want to register. It's a shower...was are supposed to shower you with presents! Annoyed!!! As I see it, I have three options...1. Buy a whole bunch of small ( Read more... )

A run down of my latest trip to visit Marc's family in Connecticut

Thursday- We arrived a little after 9am, after taking the red eye. My mother-in-law, Charlotte and her boyfriend, John picked us up. We decided to fly into Providence, Rhode Island...not a good idea. It was about another hour and half from their house. We had breakfast at Cracker ( Read more... )

This morning, Marc and I completed our first Muddy Buddy race. It was hands down the most difficult sports event that I have ever done. I am exhausted and were in no way prepared.

I am attempting to do my first play in Final Draft. I have had it since last April, but this this is the first time that I am really experimenting with the program. I know it will ultimately make writing easier, but right now it's making me very frustrated.

Last night, I went to see my professor's ten minute play in a festival in North Hollywood. ( Read more... )

Something I found kind of funny and refreshing... Right now I am working on a research paper on playwright Charles Mee, who writes heavy political/Historical plays. His play are about as unconventional as they come. As I am doing my research, two facts popped up in interviews...

1. The play that sparked his interest in Theatre was a Broadway ( Read more... )

A new block of tickets just went on sale for the Royal Shakespeare Company's tour of "The Seagull" and I managed to get good seats!!! A few weeks ago, I saw tickets for the same performance going for close to a thousand each. I feel very victorious right now!!!
