On Vox: Before I put it back on the shelf...
So I looked with fascination at those people in their mobes, and tried to fathom what it would be like. Thousands of years ago, the work that people did had been broken down into jobs that were the same every day, in organizations where people were interchangeable parts. All of the story had been bled out of their lives. That was how it had to be; ( Read more... ) -
Lots.
Just spent the weekend in New Mexico, celebrating Trista's graduation! I talked to family friends I haven't seen in over ten years. Paul got introduced around. We went to the Rio Grande Zoo & I got to tell Paul all sorts of anecdotes about my childhood. My kitty is old & in terrible health. My sister is all grown-up and making big choices. You ( Read more... ) -
On Vox: It's been over a week!
And I've got a handful of posts sitting in my drafts. The upshot is: 101in1001 finished yesterday; I'm working on a new list. Life has been busy; I've been going to a bunch of shows, rehearsing a lot and working a lot. Spring has been beautiful and has dumped on me a lot of life but not a lot of blogging or sleeping. Someday soon I'll post ( Read more... ) -
Blacklock , Part 1
Okay, it’s been a long time.
The show was a success! I feel comfortable declaring that. Since I know you like to gorge on news articles related to me (I think I'm projecting there, a little), here are some:
Dancing Outside the Lines, Lightsey Darst, mnartists.org

Hi, papa!
In case you were wondering, I'm not dead. I'm just working on an epic book-length post about my time as a Blacklock Nature Sanctuary Artist Fellow.
Short answer: It was sweet.
Long answer: Will be posted Monday.
For now, I am heading off to see a movie. Tomorrow I will have rehearsal (show coming up in June eeeek). I am obsessed (obsessed!) with ( Read more... ) -
Crabby.
Last night riding the bus home I felt so satisfied and overwhelmed, knowing that I work my butt off for exactly this--late nights at the theater, giving a good performance, meeting other people who are committed to the creation of new and strange performance work. The city felt surreal and beautiful. Sometimes life surprises me with how much it ( Read more... ) -
Whoops.
I was too tired to cross-post this to both journals, so here it is, way late:
Mad King Thomas is in the middle of making a show, preparing for a residency, trying to make a website, applying for festivals, promoting another show that isn't even made yet, etc. etc. etc. It's insane and invigorating and terrible.
The show is at the Southern Theater. ( Read more... ) -
Verbiage.
Ugh, okay, I have been gone. What have I been up to?
Playing board games. Hosting the first meeting of our writing group. Dealing with a lot of shake-up at work. Trying to save money. Focusing on my posture. Getting eight hours of sleep a night (I recommend it.) Submitting the same story to new magazines. Making a dance. Taking a workshop. ( Read more... ) -
On Vox: A small step.
I just emailed the coordinator for a volunteer project I'd very much like to do to see if they'd like my help. It's actually a little tiny, really easy version of what I'd really REALLY like to do, but I am not quite qualified for the big time yet. I might not be ready for this little tiny, really easy version either, but I'm trying it anyway. ( Read more... ) -
On Vox: Miscellany
I went to New Mexico. It was awesome, perfect. My family had the most raucous New Year's/Christmas combo ever (jello shots, folks). I got a Kindle. I gave a bunch of handmade gifts (still not at my goal of ALL handmade gifts but working on it). I stayed up all night. It was grand.
I also went to the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and ( Read more... )
