This is my new blog (again)
I'm just sharing with all my friends here (who's blogs I still frequent) my new blog is http://ladonnaelavoce.blogspot.com/. I say this somewhat selfishly because I am unemployed and therefore need the internet masses to embrace me.
So that's it. Even if you don't like opera. -
Cutting ties.
I have decided to cease doing this blog...After nearly 7 years, I've reached a new chapter in my life and I think there are too many painful ties to my past here. A lot has changed, I've changed, and I no longer want to be an open book fame-whore to the world ( Read more... ) -
You were always in love with the impossible
That's one of my favorite lines from the show I'm working on "Flee This Place", an innovative mash-up of Medea and Antigone. I am part of the Greek Chorus (there are two of us). The show takes place in a metaphorical layer of hell where these Greek characters reside in their tragedies. One of the chorus members is an "American Psycho"-esque man who ( Read more... ) -
Convince yourself they're cheering for you... and someday they will

Bon Appetit
I finally saw "Julie & Julia" and I adored it. I was salivating the entire time, oohing and ahhing over 1950s Paris...the food, the kitchens, that mortar and pestle! Now that the leaf to my grandparents kitchen table has been found, I have grand plans to throw a dinner party involving some recipes from "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" (which ( Read more... ) -
A house can be a home
It's funny when you're actually living life...you don't have time to blog it. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, moving into a new house is exhausting. And like pregnancy and pot, it makes you ditzy and stupid. Like all you are thinking about is boxes, and unpacking, and putting things away. And all the things you have to buy. I spent nearly $200 ( Read more... ) -

Viva la Vera (and happy couples)
I have to say...I went to a fantastic wedding last night. I wasn't exactly looking forward to it, for a multitude of reasons...social anxiety with old classmates, making sure the bf felt at ease amongst the upper crust, not to mention my first wedding since I called mine off. The ceremony was pleasant and inspired...I loved the mix of Western and ( Read more... ) -
The arcs that we covet
The Most Powerful Generation in America"The Millennial Generation, those born between 1976 and 1996, the heirs to our economic legacy and ultimately the bearers of our economic destiny, are being disproportionately affected by the crisis, but continue to go unnoticed. This is even though they face unemployment at a rate more than 8% higher than the ( Read more... )
