it took me 34 years...

...to be the kid on the playground that i always wanted to be...



those are the rings at muscle beach in santa monica. i had no idea arika was recording with her camera, but i'm super psyched that she was, since 1) holy shit, i can't believe i was able to do it! and 2) this is great footage to have for when i'm 85 and musing about 'the old days'. :)

there were these kind of rings too:



and these fun bars:



the whole experience was somewhat empowering as the vibe down there was very big man man mantimes look at all my pull ups man manny man uuuuupmh grrrrrr man times.

Mauritius

it's official. i booked another gig. this makes 5 in a row. I have crossed my heart and sworn to die to dave (and myself) that i will take the summer off!!!! i promise!!!! but wow. i guess this is sorta the "reaping the rewards" of all the dues paying in my 20's, eh?

it was really nice to see some of you over the past few weeks, i apologize if i disappear on you - i'm going to basically be in survival mode for the next 5 weeks.

i leave for LA LA Land tomorrow - visiting arika and cindy, which will be lovely and chill and super fun and planning on having brunch or something with Mr. Symonds as well as getting coffee with James. :) I'm trying not to over-schedule, especially since this will be my last time off before Mauritius begins rehearsal in LESS THAN A WEEK. (Monday, the 27th to be exact. whew.) but it just so happens that the Pasadena Playhouse down there is doing the show, so we're gonna go see it tomorrow night after I fly in. wacky, eh? :) AND - there is this circus training center that I'm gonna check out on Friday and have a trapeze lesson with one of their coaches, so that will be cool.

CANNOT wait to sleep in for FOUR DAYS STRAIGHT. sleep is the BEST thing in the world. I know that all my Mom friends out there are giving me a Hallelujah Sister!

fame and fortune...

...will never be mine. But this is kinda cool: Arwen in the Examiner

pelican - here we come!

yay! about to leave for trees and hiking and the Pelican Inn and peace and quiet and walk in fireplaces and totally dead cell phone area and ocean and hopefully banana slugs and like i said, trees trees trees and yay happy 24 hours away from the city. After a very long 9 hour day at the circus center yesterday, I'm really excited about a little rejuvenation time. really. excited.

oh - and since these seem to be popular - and here's our latest cute doubles move. we are calling it the 'love dip' for now:
