( Bienvenue à la miason )

When I was little and lived in the Matanzas neighborhood, I was the eldest of our group but by no means the biggest. I was actually quite a little guy, though I suppose Spencer Blackwell was about my size, so I wasn't the neighborhood shrimp. Ryan Seymour and Jeff Maddigan certainly had the height and weight advantage over me, and while Chase ( Read more... )

First thing's first: I've been cast as Wargrave in BU Stage Troupe's production of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, which is an honor indeed. Three nights of auditions and one night of callbacks saw a hell of a lot of people read for four shows, and I was excited to be called back for two of them. To be cast is really exciting.

I'm here, it's hot, and it's pouring. Woohoo!I don't have enough time to post pictures at the moment, but I swear they're on their way. I don't have time because my name was on the list of callbacks for both shows I auditioned for (The Foreigner and And Then There Were None), and I have to skip down to Brighton Ave to catch the bus that runs ( Read more... )

Slowly but surely, it seems my little pillbox room is coming together. It's about 120 square feet, which certainly is enough room for me, and in fact it's probably the best size for me because this way it'll look as though I have far more than I actually do. At the moment, though, it loks like I have nothing and live in a Crackerjack box. Five ( Read more... )

Last night Nick's tireless efforts to get me an upgrade finally paid off: I'm flying first class back to Boston on Friday.

"Champagne?"
"Please."

You have no idea how much salmon I ate tonight. Holy God.

Mandy Day, Wicked, Wednesday. John Mayer is good stuff -- some things need time.

The Boondock Saints is not one of those things. Anyone want a CD? I really should have looked more closely at that CD case, but for $2, I'm willing to make a mistake for laughter's sake. I'm also ( Read more... )

So my cousin and his wife from Ohio and their friends from Texas were in town yesterday and I played tour guide/chauffeur through Sonoma County. We hit Kendall Jackson, Korbel and Belvedere, which was nice. It got me out to the wineries and to the River, two places I doubt I'd have gone without that excuse. I only have two more weeks of greenery ( Read more... )

You know when you go to the eye doctor and they get right up in your face? I mean really, do they have to be that close?

Swanage. Don't look for it on a map; you won't find it.

Tony and I are staying with a friend of my mom's, who happens to be staying with her 400-year-old mother Madge. That's her name. Madge.

She's a cross between Mrs. Doubtfire and any number of the old women Michael Palin played on Flying Circus, and her memory is, well, sub-standard. If I ( Read more... )
