Straightforward

This weekend we started tech.  The show in the other theatre at MTC closed this weekend, so there was an unfair juxtaposition there.  I spent a lot of time daydreaming about the close of this show and my return to normal life.

I guess what I’m saying is I don’t know when to leave a party.  I always have to go back for that one last show – that one last production – I thought I got over this in New York, I thought I figured it out.  But no.  And the first three shows at MTC were great and I had a great time, but then I had settled it.  And it’s not like, this time, I made some grand choice – I mean I literally took this gig as a job, but still.  I feel like I should have learned a lesson by now.

I’m waiting to hear back about a job application at another theatre.  I really want to at least get called for an interview.  I had good, really relevant references for this one.  Keep your fingers crossed.

Yesterday, thanks to Columbus, Drew had the day off and so I didn’t go in to the Opera either.  We woke up at a time which I once would have called early but now call semi-sleeping in, ate breakfast, hung out, went to the 11:45 matinee of The Social Network, did 3 loads of laundry, caught up on new episodes of The Office and 30 Rock, caught the very end of the sunset, shopped for and made dinner, and watched Date Night.  A really busy and fun day…but I could use another week like that.

Today it’s back into tech, but I don’t have to leave here for another hour and a half.  So far I have been cleaning.  I’m going to tackle the bathroom next.  Glamorous life here.  Hope your Monday-Tuesday is going just as well.

PS. Upside-down tomato branches have actually resulted in red tomatoes.  Wow.  We tried one and it was not very tasty.  Waiting on the others, maybe we got a bad one?  Oh well.
