What? May. 20th, 2010 @ 04:07 am
huh?
The last time I posted it was in the middle of production for 'Little Night Music.' Since then all sorts of interesting things have happened. But I'm not going to tell you about those things. I'm going to say a few words about cake.

I made a cake the other day. It was chocolate. I still have some of it in the fridge. You're welcome to stop by for some cake if you'd like. It'll likely be gone this time tomorrow.

I've been listening to books on 'tape' (my car doesn't have a tape player). Anyway- I just finished a series of 7 books, and I need a new suggestion of what to move on to. I like me some pulpy nonsense- nothing too old, nothing set in a time period I find dull, nothing too high-falootin' or distracting... comedy books usually end up reading very poorly as audiobooks...

So yeah, I'm soliciting suggestions from the 3 or 4 people who are still using livejournal. Suggest things, and I promise to reject most of them.

Pictures from "A Little Night Music." We spent WAY to much time taking them, so you might as well enjoy them.




Doesn't this look like fun?

And here's one I'm not in:



That is all.

Skipping perfunctory apologies for lack of updates.


Since I last alerted you, dear reader, a few things have happened. Let's give you the rundown:

1. Back at iota- that's good. We should all be back at iota. We've had a series of events recently, and a few more to come.

2. Found a place to live. Did I tell you about that? yeah- I moved in and everything. It's a lovely little spot. A little small, but rather nice. You should come by for tea. (I don't have tea).

3. Got cast in a show, so that's good. You wanna come and see it? it's in November.

4. People are leaving LA in droves- like lemmings off the edge of a cliff. So there's been a lot of sad going away parties.

that's it. 4 things. have a good day.

Something I noticed---- Jul. 13th, 2009 @ 12:39 am
about the Matrix.

The robots had blocked out the sun, and then used Humans as a power source? Humans aren't a power source! They use a lot more energy than they put out. Nuclear is an energy source, and without fears of radiation, the robots are SET. I don't think they were very smart robots.

Back in LA again - looking for a place to live
saw some places I really like, but we shall see. It's apparently a renter's market.

I keep thinking of the Horrible Summer of Housesearch in Santa Cruz circa 2001- where Renee and Rebecca and I scoured the city looking for housing. Every Frickin' day we were hitting pavement, and there was nothing for months. We ended up taking the first place that would take us, which was probably a bad idea. Anyway- this seems kind of like the opposite conditions, but for some reason I still find myself in that mindset.

now go back to your regular life.

In san luis for a few days. Then back down to LA to look for a place to live.

yes, that's right- I will be living in LA, and there's nothing you or your cheap housing, friendly city with public transportation can do about it. nyaa nyaaa.

so it looks like I'm out of here--
the last couple of weeks have been pretty crazy, and if I ever get my head wrapped around them sufficiently, I'll try to recap.

Currently, it's 815am-ish, and sometime between 830 and 10 someone will come to check this apartment and kick me out. Then I'm heading to the airport. I have a 2:45 flight that should arrive 9am Tuesday in LA.

I've been up for about 20 hours now, and only another 6 or so to go before I can crash out on the plane. If all goes well, I'll arrive un-jetlagged.

So that's all I know right now. Any questions?

still don't know what to say about michael jackson, so i'll hold off for now.

Went and saw the latest Evangelion movie today- good fun. For those of you who liked Evangelion, I would really recommend the new movie series. The second one is QUITE different from the tv show. really interesting stuff- much more potent. Go see it (in, like 2 years when it gets released in the states)
» Ponyo News
So Ponyo is being released in the states in August- and they made a shiny new trailer--
go see

oooh- look at all those famous people- Matt Damon, Tina Fey, Cloris Leachman! I'm curious how they'll do. Seems unnecessary, but whatever.

Also- almost completely absent from the trailer is the SONG-- PONYO PONYO PONYO
(the guys in tuxedos seem WAY too overdressed)

anyway- they make the new trailer look really exciting. I hope you can go see it.

Otherwise- I'm T-minus 7 days until I'm back in the states. Kind of a strange feeling. Had my last Japanese lesson today. After we finished the last book I was doing, we just spent a couple of weeks talking about various Japanese artists. Not that my japanese teachers are particularly knowledgeable about the art, but they have access to a LOT more information (because they can read the language). Today we finished up with the Kano and Soga schools of painting.

otherwise, I'm having a good time- lots to do, and not much time to do it in.

Holy Crap- a place in my old apartment building is open--

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/apa/1227199745.html

(that's what my apartment looked like mostly- except with stuff in it)

it's a little more expensive than what I paid- but it's an upstairs one.

Should I apply to it?
