Acting Up

Back to Blogging


I haven't blogged here since 2012. Why am I making a stab at it again?

I realized two things about social media I wanted to get away from. First was that I was often using it as a journal, which is boring and maybe TMI for those platforms. Secondly I was using it too much for my taste, so that I felt like a tool for marketers rather than using social media as a tool for my ends.

zzz

I'm tired of this sore throat. It can go away now. Any time now. Two months now.

Opening night tonight, so at least there's some fun on the horizon. I made a blocking error during the preview last night that left me physically stranded. I'm supposed to carry 'Jonathon' out, and my partner didn't grab his legs and I couldn't think of a way of putting him down down without support. So I set him down in a sitting position leaning against my legs, so I wouldn't have to hold him until I was supposed to carry him out. My legs got a good massage from his suppressed heaving laughter. Other than a slightly mangled line that was all the preview excitement for me. I hope the superstition that a flubbed preview means the run will be smoother holds up. My err was minor, but in proportion to the size of the role.

Thanks to the throat I feel pretty tired, so I have to work pretty hard to get my energy where it needs to be. Wish me a broken leg. (I feel dead beat, but don't want to be a deadbeat.)
