deep thoughts for today

so for the last, say, 10 years or so, I have generally gone through a period of time, say, about 1 to 2 times per year, where I strongly debate with myself the reasons for doing theatre....

I've been in one for a few weeks now. i don't want to go see anything. i don't want to audition for anything. i don't want to think about or deal with getting new headshots. i don't want my agent to call. so of course, they have been..... and more than ever, i don't want to find myself around theatre people. whew. i actually find myself getting angry about theatre. like it's something i can fight with. but I can't. it's always a frustrating time. I've always come out on the other side of these intense, sometimes angry, sometimes sad, sometimes humbling experiences and found myself ready to get going again. We'll just have to see what happens this time.

in other news....Sarita had a lovely birthday party at Millennium. :) Mr. Symonds is in town this weekend and we met at Foley's (love Foley's!) for yum yums. I found a Coldstone Ice Creamery downtown, had a Cookie Mintster and went into a sugar coma shortly after. Did an improv in Silk class to 'Origin of Love' from Hedwig on Saturday. Interesting. I still think 'Welcome to the Jungle' will be the winner. Dave and I are going to go up to Point Reyes today for some trees and hiking. :) Coraline has been working on two new songs (one that is not really about Mermaids and another that is about Puppies) and recording another one, 'Cold', which is sounding rather good. I wrote 'Cold' a lot out of response to one of Patty Griffin's most amazing feats of songwriting, 'Top of the World'. I think of 'Cold' as a chance to see what might have been going on with the woman in the story....the one who had her wings broken....

I got to meet Sox the dog the other day. He is a polar bear.

Dave is worried that Serafina Pekkala might be sick. We are keeping an eye on her.

okay. time to get the laundry. i go through leotards these days at an astounding pace....
