my eyelids are drooping

so there has been much afoot lately. visits and shows and life ?'s and full moons and deep thoughts and all sorts of important stuff.

our show will not be extending - we found out during the second weekend, and what with our luke-warm to tepid review in the chronicle, it's not all that shocking. But it sort of throws a bolt of poo through a cast energy-wise. especially a cast like ours, where we've all been working SO freaking hard toward this one goal that we were being told was so awesome and inspiring and ground-breaking and ambitious and wow wow wow. and well, lots of it is actually. we just won't be doing it for an two extra weeks. but we picked up from that news and continue to give it what we've got every night (as well as an added student matinee on thursday for balboa high - that was fascinating.) and on the flip side, the show requires an incredible amount of physical and mental energy and now I just may stop being tired all the time a little sooner. :)

ooooh - they did create a pretty cool ass trailer video for the show. you can check it out HERE

I really would like to find the time to put together a badass montage from the motorcycle trip. i've been wanting to reclaim some of those memories. :)

i've been offered a job as an aerial tissu soloist. in reno. for a month. at circus circus. it just may happen. i'm still finding out more details... that could provide some awesome blog fodder. not to mention life experience.... the whole thing is still sort of mystifying. we'll see...

all the visits went well - saw spud for less than 24 hours last weekend and mom for just a few hours more than spud. they flew in last saturday, we went out to dinner for mom's birthday and then they saw the show, went to bed and left sunday morning. zany. arika flew in at the same time, but stayed through monday. I didn't really get a chance to see her until then, since sunday is a two show day. but we played catch up on monday, which was very chill, which was very nice. :) chill is good these days. chill is good.

between the two shows on sunday, I did a little aerial silk lesson with some of the cast. they are already pretty strong, so it's fun to see them get things so quickly. everything was SO hard for me when I first learned, since I couldn't even conceive of doing a pull up or being able to pull my ass over my head. how things change. :)

bedtime now.
