I got a part I really wanted in a play going up this July in Riverside Park, in New York City. I'm keeping quiet about it for now - it's a long way off, still - but it's going to be super fun, and will surely occasion a giveaway 'round about opening night.

I spend my money today.

I didn't use this kind of material for 6 years, it's hard but so fun to use it again !

Blues won but these overtime games are killing me. I'm a nervous wreck as is. :O

I made a batch of soup in the slow cooker without a recipe, just following the guidance of my stomach and after 12 hours it came out absolutely to die for. Awesomesauce. Nom nom nom!

I got tabletop simulator!!! http://store.steampowered.com/app/286160/

It's awesome!!! I couldn't connect with my friend though. :<

It was a very busy day at work and I managed to not get frustrated. Yay me.

Then I jammed for an hour in session mode in Rocksmith. And I get to sleep until 6 a.m. tomorrow!

First really nice day outside this year, that I've been home to enjoy. Spent it working on stuff all day, but still. Was nice to do outside work in a t-shirt, finally clean up my work car (all afternoon on that), take out the sports car for short drive, and even sit on the motorcycle for a couple minutes making vroom vroom noises. XD

Really hoping next weekend is a little warmer and that it rains this week to clear the sand and winter gunk from the roads. Would like to finally get the motorcycles on the road. Other riders have been out already - many of them were out today - but I'm not that brave.

All the porno sites I go to have Easter decorations on them. XD
How sweet but I fear the combination of Easter and hard core smut may forever ruin my perception of both.

Oh and...

You should send Seabrook a thank you card

I've seen worse hits but I don't think anyone can argue it wasn't a dirty hit. Was it criminal, NO, but I'm not buying this "shitty call" nonsense I keep hearing from Chicago fans.

Aaaand I was just notified that I got another part, the role of Hubert in Shakespeare's "King John." That means in June I'll be performing in "King John," and rehearsing for July's production of "The Importance of Being Earnest." Awesome! (And I wonder why I never have time to finish any games.)

Ya hard to argue that call. But fans will be fans. I was pissed at the non call in the Stars game when the Ducks got their third goal but it happens. I'm still predicting a Blues vs Bruins final

WAIT WAIT WAIT
You're a Shakespearean actor!?
Okay that only takes more ability that 99.99% of all humans who have ever lived have ever possessed. I am beyond impressed.

I love Shakespeare. I trained (briefly) in London, many years ago; I wanted to be a career actor, but making money at it is tricky. I gave it up years back on account of crazy-making, and got back on stage about two years ago now, I guess. It's been a wonderful return. I no longer think about it in career terms - I'm too old to play games with that, which is a plus and a minus - but rather in terms of doing what I love, as long and as best as I can.

I did Caesar in Julius Caesar in March, which was a joy (I am very short, and sometimes people don't quite see me in the role of the king, so it's a special pleasure when I get those chances).

I'm happy to take the compliment, but I do believe lots of people can play Shakespeare - they just don't know it. (Or they don't want to, which is certainly valid.) Once you get started, it gets easier over time, as an actor will have more and more experience and resources to bring to it.
I'm playing Lady Bracknell. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS, it should be amazing fun. (Yes, I'm a male - there have been several notable male actors taking on Bracknell, in recent years; I believe there's one scheduled for the West End this summer.)
