Dear life
I would be most appreciative if you would quit inviting Suck along to everything that we do together. I don't find him particularly friendly and his breath smells.
If you could get on that, that would be great.
Until then,
Steph

That's Ontario for you.

When I was walking in Hamilton today two old guys were standing on their porch smoking. One watched me walk by, then shouted out "Hello, beautiful!". He was at least 60.

the good, the bad, and the ugly

The good:
-- I am in the mainstage and I know I will grow and stretch by doing so
-- things are moving for "The Complete Works of Shakespeare, Abridged"... we have a director and we have a number of highschools that are interested in having us perform there. We definately won't be making lots of money. But that's okay
-- I have been asked to be Assistant Director on a student film project a couple of my theatre friends are working on. It's about 80 pages long and we're shooting it in a week. Oh how I love challenges.
-- the one act play that I wrote for my playwriting class last year is going to be performed!! My friend Alison is in the 400 level directing class and they have to direct an one act play and she asked me if she could do mine... I of course said that would be amazing! It should be interesting..... and I get paid! Not much, but it's something!
-- I'm hopefully helping out a friend with her play that she wrote for her independent studies last semester. She needs it workshopped and discussed the possibility of having me help her do that. I think that would be fun.
-- I saw some really great movies of late: Pan's Labyrinth, The Queen, Babel, and Tape.

The bad:
-- my nose ring broke. I don't have money to buy a new one.
-- my hard drive on my laptop decided to quit on me. There goes 100 bucks! In the mean time I'm without a computer (I'm on my roomate's right now)
-- english classes are just not holding my attention right now. I'm still in film/theatre mindset and it's been very hard to adjust back
-- it's been difficult adjusting back to the Redeemer way of things
-- I hurt my back while at rehearsal on wednesday. It's hard to move around and it's painful.
-- I've been getting sick alot lately. I think it's something to do with the transition back to Redeemer. I'm hoping it will stop soon.

The ugly:
-- finances, finances, finances, and more finances
-- not being in LA right now
-- wait, did I say finances?
