survive or die. there is no flailing.
Aug. 3rd, 2011 01:26 pmi'm getting to SITI day 5, i promise. what with the downage last week and fringe rearing up, i'm a bit of a mess.
what's been going on:
TEMPESTS
the show is firming up and on it's way. tonight is our last rehearsal since we've got the 7pm slot tomorrow. way to come in running. i am so ready for this baby to be born. we've had some injuries, some high anxiety snappage, and i hope to gods we come under time, but after tonight i feel like all my muscles will come undone and i will just become a filthy pile. which is okay. all i have to do is sit in the audience and watch what we have wrought.
PRO RATA
so we have this big event coming up the weekend after fringe and any ball shards i have left over after busting them on tempests have been ground to dust on this. gathering supplies, wooing venues, writing copy, making promos, attending meetings. and then we just had first read for cat's paw, which i have to soon start on social media for. oh, social media. i'll be covering fringe on our facebook page too. thank god i got that all sorted out ahead of time. i've missed the last two company meetings and i feel like a big jerk, but i'm serving my overall goal of getting director experience to prep me for t bone in the spring. and thank you awkward moments and tempests for that.
OTHER THEATRE
here i thought i'd have the fall free to just play and train, but i've been recruited for another show. it hasn't been announced yet, so i won't spill it just yet, but--if all goes well--it's with a company i've worked with and would like to again, and an actor i have not worked with but would like to. i have also heard buzzing in my ear of a project coming up in the spring i may have an opportunity to work on. we shall see. as for sandbox LAB, the second semester starts soon (shit, the same morning as pro rata's event) and will include puppetry at open eye, kabuki with green tea, dance with paula mann, and music landscapes with tim donahue. plus, of course, more viewpoints, which i have come to love.
WORK
on top it just being busytimes, our annual all-staff meeting is this tursday and friday. it's a big thing. there's lots of prep. i was just told i have to come in early tomorrow. normally, i am not asked to work overtime, and, in fact, they will probably let me go early so i don't have to claim overtime. but i still hate having to go to bed late tonight after final rehearsal and wake up extra early for effing work. and i have to give a presentation which i haven't prepared for. ugh.
FRIENDS AND FAMILY
laura is coming in from madison to see tempests. i wish i had more time to spend with her. every time she's in town, i am busy. and it's not just because she's in town. because when i'm NOT busy, i go to see her or my family. sometimes, i go see my family when i'm busy...but jo is due soon and i've told her she's not allowed to have that baby until fringe is done. because if it comes sooner, i'm going to have to be an awful sister and miss it. don't judge me. it's her 4th. 4th BOY, i might add. i haven't seen my roommate since sunday...she's a fringe tech. i don't even remember what my boyfriend looks like, since i only see him when i'm sleeping...he's got a show going up too.
oh, and did i mention it's misery week? yeah. thanks a lot, body. i have been keeping track every month and learned something about my birth control...apparently i have withdrawal symptoms. every second and third day off the pill means headaches. nothing to be done. and stress just makes it worse. woof.
yeah. i'm under a lot right now. i'm slipping here and there, but ultimately holding up. and proud of it. something has to give though, and i'm afraid it's been the triad of exercise, sleep, and eating well. if i can escape august without getting majorly ill, i will crown myself champion of cheese. i know, i know. empress of the universe would be a much more impressive title. but it carries too much responsibility. if i could just have power over fatty, dairy curd goodness, i'd call myself a success.
