Bingeing Again, But Writing? Still Not So Much

Something happened to me this week — I’ve once again returned to some sort of theater binge. I rushed to Passing Strange on Wednesday to catch it before it’s gone. Last night, I moseyed to Legally Blonde: The Musical last night to catch Laura Bell Bundy before she leaves the show on Sunday and isContinue reading “Bingeing Again, But Writing? Still Not So Much”

THIS JUST MEANS I’VE BEEN WRITING THIS BLOG TOO LONG

This is the fourth time that I have posted on Sept. 21. That means it’s the fourth time I’ve posted on my birthday. I remember when I started this blog a little over three-and-a-half years ago how I felt I was joining the party late. There were all these people who had already been writingContinue reading “THIS JUST MEANS I’VE BEEN WRITING THIS BLOG TOO LONG”

“$18 MILLION”: GNAWING ON WOOL ISN’T SO BAD (EVEN IF THIS PUN IS)

I’m not completely sure what compelled me. I’m not actually a performer, or at least, not an actor. I learned that years ago, even before going to UCLA as a theater major. In fact, in high school, my theater teacher sat me down one day to tell my why he wasn’t casting me in theContinue reading ““$18 MILLION”: GNAWING ON WOOL ISN’T SO BAD (EVEN IF THIS PUN IS)”

MISCELLANEOUS MISCELLANY: WEEKEND NOTES BIG ON THEATRE

I’m having motivational issues, so instead of motivating myself, I think I’ll try to motivate anyone who happens by here wondering, “Hmm, what’s good in New York that I may not know about this weekend.” I’m sure I’m the only person with a blog doing that, so it should come in quite handy. Closing thisContinue reading “MISCELLANEOUS MISCELLANY: WEEKEND NOTES BIG ON THEATRE”

NOTES FROM TRIBECA: IT SEEMS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY I WATCHED KING OF KONG AS A SUBMISSION

Wow, how a week as jusdt flown by. Now I’m way behind again with posts backing up just waiting to be written. But I have a relatively decent excuse. If you’ve happened to swing by here and paid any attention to my Twitterisms in the column to the left, you would have noticed a fewContinue reading “NOTES FROM TRIBECA: IT SEEMS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY I WATCHED KING OF KONG AS A SUBMISSION”

“JURY SERVICE AND YOU” (OR WHATEVER IT’S CALLED): A REVIEW

I lived in LA for eight years, seven of them over the legal voting age of 18. During my time there — all of which was I registered to vote and had a drivers license — I was never once called to jury duty. October 23 will mark 11 years living in New York —Continue reading ““JURY SERVICE AND YOU” (OR WHATEVER IT’S CALLED): A REVIEW”

WHAT A WAY TO START THE WEEKEND: ANOTHER MTA BITCH-SLAP

Oh, I’m so annoyed. I’ve been working really hard to procrastinate less; to calm some of my perfectionist tendencies; to just get the important things done, run the errands I need to run, make the meals I need to make, save the money I need to save … really discipline myself to take care ofContinue reading “WHAT A WAY TO START THE WEEKEND: ANOTHER MTA BITCH-SLAP”

MISCELLANEOUS MISCELLANY: RAIN RAIN GO AWAY AND OTHER THOUGHTS FOR A FRI-DAY (GET IT? … SORRY)

In the spirit of posting regularly, earlier today while at work, I had a slew of things I was going to throw up here in the midst of several job-related activities. And then, our network went down. And then it came back up … for about 30 seconds before going back down. Eventually, I justContinue reading “MISCELLANEOUS MISCELLANY: RAIN RAIN GO AWAY AND OTHER THOUGHTS FOR A FRI-DAY (GET IT? … SORRY)”

MONDAY MISCELLANEOUS MISCELLANY: SNAP JUDGMENTS

Even with I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry coming in first with over $30-Million once again proving that Adam Sandler really can open any movie simply by his presence, I didn’t let this weekend get me down. In fact, it was one of productivity (albeit not enough) and punishment (although, not really). I deliberatelyContinue reading “MONDAY MISCELLANEOUS MISCELLANY: SNAP JUDGMENTS”
