Things happen fast

Well, as you can tell my blogging efforts havent been the best but a lot of things have been happening lately.

On Tuesday I received an email from a friend telling me about a show in need of a puppeteer. One of their actresses had to drop out due to an injury and they were looking to replace her ASAP. After a few emails, an audition, and a few more emails I have now joined the cast of The Gogol Project.

I went to my first rehearsal last night and had a great time. Its really nice to get back into theatre. I havent done a theatre piece since I was in Steel Magnolias back in 2002. Its intimidating to go back but it is making me realize how much I missed being in and working in a theatre.


My other efforts have sadly dropped off. After a great session of yoga this past weekend with my good friend Karen I haven't had time to do any more and I haven't worked out in about a week.

The one thing that I have kept up with consistently has been my guitar practice. I am developing some nice calluses on my fingertips and picking up more chords. Now that we are trying to meet a deadline at work and with rehearsals for the show its going to be tough to find time to do any work with it. Im hoping to at least play enough to not lose the progress that I have made so far though I doubt I will be able to keep making any significant progress for a while.

Last Friday was also Avatar Day! It was very exciting to see the teaser trailer released and to get to see 15 minutes of the film on the big screen.

I worked on Avatar for over a year and two of the set that I helped design were in the 15 minutes that were shown. It was really nice to see all of that work translated to the big screen.

Thats all for now.
