You and me forever, my baby
I can't get to sleep tonight, and it's not just because of my aching back which has kept me from getting a true good night's sleep for over a week now (don't worry, I'm going to the doctor on Tuesday). It's that I am so fucking nervous about this apartment that I just can't get my brain to quiet the fuck down ( Read more... ) -
Something so sentimental, something so detrimental
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore-
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over-
like a syrupy sweet?
On this week's season finale of Bunheads, Sutton Foster's Michelle goes to an open call audition for a new Broadway musical based on the Bette Davis film Dark ( Read more... ) -
The letting go is taking place
Today was my last day at my job. I start my new job on Monday.
What a way to start the New Year, huh?
The last three weeks have been a roller coaster. I didn't want to leave, but I did. I needed to. But the more I've thought about it, it's not so much that I was sad about leaving this job, but that I was sad because I will no longer be working in The ( Read more... ) -
Hit Me With Your Best Shot
I couldn't sleep tonight.
Stephen is in the hospital again (only for a sleep apnea test this time), so I'm on my own. And my back continues to bother me, which always makes falling asleep slightly more difficult. Work continues to be numbing. Thoughts were racing through my head like the track & field runners around the Olympic track (YAY OLYMPICS ( Read more... ) -

Because I am unhealthily obsessed:
THE OSCARS!
When the nominations were first announced, I was pretty happy with them. I mean, yes, I would have loved if something like Weekend or Melancholia or Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol had gotten the attention they deserved, but most of those were never going to fall into favor with The Academy anyway, ( Read more... ) -
I've got to get this job...?
I am sitting here at my desk at work, and I am drowning.
Not literally, of course. I am drowning in boredom.
The craziness and busy-ness of the Gala (May 2) has died down, and now I am back to "business as usual" and I hate it.
There, I said it. I hate my job. Or, to be more accurate, I'm so over my job. It doesn't excite me. I don't wake up every ( Read more... ) -
We are who we are
For the first time in what feels like forever, I went on Facebook today.
I know.
What struck me while looking around aimlessly was how many of my friends from college (who by now have all graduated) are seemingly NOT doing anything theater-related. Seriously, I found maybe three or four of my theater friends who are still doing theater stuff. Of ( Read more... ) -
Things are looking up, it's a great little world we live in!
What a difference a day makes. Towards the end of July, we were informed that the vacation policy at work was changing, to give everyone fifteen days paid vacation a year as opposed to ten. Yay! And then they said that it was starting this year, so I had to take my five extra days before August 31! Whatever was I to do?
It should be said that I was ( Read more... ) -
Just for fun...
If I was a voting member of AMPAS, this would be my Oscar ballot (not necessarily the 10 best films I saw this year, just the ones I would vote for for Best Picture ( Read more... ) -
I'm The One That Understands You, Been Here All Along...
I am suddenly very enamored of Taylor Swift.
I find this more distressing than I can adequately describe with words.
It's as though, when listening to her album Fearless, I am suddenly transformed into a teenage girl (although, being a gay man in his twenties, is that really such a stretch?).
Other music I am very enamored of at the moment, that will ( Read more... )
