fact of the day:
The dramaturg is not a recent innovation. In Europe the position is usually traced back to Gothold Ephraim Lessing, and eighteenth-century German playwright and critic. In 1767, upon being asked by the newly created Hamburg Nation Theater to serve as its resident playwright, Lessing declined but proposed instead that he become its in-house critic, offering advice on the selection of plays,...
my day
mushy morning/afternoon:
7am-wake up, ready for class. 7:30-bus to the theatre. 8-theatre class 1. 9:20-theatre class 2. 11-theatre class 3. 12:30-favorite writing class ever (notreally). 2-lunch. 3-really tiny, tiny nap. 3:20-another bus. 3:30-theatre class 4. 4:47-and another bus. 5:30-work.
but then:
8:30-off work, a moment to clean up, then adventure to the dark room.
9-11- printing,...

old homeland
With LA you miss the small things; they are what make it unique. Any city has its sights, its celebrities, its specific geographical and demographic appeal. They are the outline, the blueprint of the city; but it’s in the smaller things in LA where you will find its color.
I have missed coffee shops. Sitting outside in the sun, reading, watching, hearing more noise than I’d prefer, all to the...
my new roots
Once I have a kitchen this blog will be my home!
lesson of the day:
just because grapes and cherry tomatoes have the same shape and texture, that doesn’t mean you should eat them at the same time.
the peak of existence
As I walked, I became warmer, more akin to the cold, and I stayed outside in the rain.
It was quiet and just me and a tree. It grounded me to everything, it was my gravitational pull. Everything else was still and quiet, but not in a zombie apocolypse way. Just calm. The tree was silent and beautiful, just stunning in the rain with the haze of the fading sun. Bright bluish gray, the night...
four things that make my dream life
I’ve done it. my formula for happiness. i must try it again soon
1. live with somebody
2. spend my days working
3. spend my nights writing and listening to music
4. and cooking
That is all I need. Someone to share my life with, and a perfect mix of practical and intellectually satisfying things to do.

Favorite(?) scene from "Waitress"
JENNA: What are you doing here?
POLMETER: I took the whole day off. I don't know.
I wanted to see you. You look awful.
J: Thanks.
P: I mean, you look sad. You look really sad.
J: It's taken you a long time to notice this,
but, uh... I'm not a happy woman, Dr. Pomatter.
And I don't want you to save me.
P: I don't want to save you.
J: Don't want to be saved.

the truth about my singing
i have been afraid to sing for about the past four-five years.
i have felt overshadowed by those around me, inadequate in every musical way.
but now, having a room in which to practice, and an instrument upon which to learn, I am remembering the joy in my voice, and am almost comfortable enough to sing in front of others.
moreover, the clips i post i know aren’t matched to my potential....

I had a lovely day at work. And not because something special happened, but because I worked really hard. I was a beast. And I left not tired and gross and jaded and grumpy, but energized.
I made myself “writer fuel”: popcorn, dark chocolate and cold tea, and set to work. Printed the script, wrote on it, around it, cut it out, moved things around, added words into the spaces, and...
rushing and the ending is a bit painful.

How truly strange the world is!
In one night. Many regained eyes, seeing or blind. The light or darkness is too overwhelming to tell.
I use a channel by which to make a connection to someone with whom I had divorced myself, and then received an interaction with someone who’s name to me rhymes with the first. I use the channel to contact another divorcé, but then tripping further and further below in thought, hating...
birthday
Sweet dreams for the first night of a new year. I feel as if I am turning 1 instead. It was a new start, with new confusions, new problems, people, and new escapes. New healing. A new life. I have completed one year, let’s see how long I will last.
So off to dreamland I go tonight, of many more nights, with stars that shine, and days with warm weather that are around the corner…...

at the end of the day
i am looking for a home. wishing for one. not with parents and coddlers, but a home I create. i want someone to be there when i get home from work to hear me complain about my day and then smile sweetly at me once i realize where i am again. i want to listen to music and talk all night and fall asleep on his shoulder with his arms around me. i want this safety, this stability amongst my...
the boys i pick
1. the jocky bro types that never consider me
2. the nerdy possibly gay ones
3. #2 trapped in the body of #1…(never a fun realization)
