Not a whole lot new to report. The weather has returned to normal and things have been going slowly for me while things churn at work. I’ve been really tired for a number of reasons, but the weekend gave me a chance to recuperate somewhat.
It was an improv-heavy weekend for me… I performed in two shows on Friday, then got pulled in on Saturday to run lights for Theatresports when they were short-staffed. Then this morning I ran an improv workshop/rehearsal over at SecondStory in place of the guy who’s normally in charge. Everyone at the rehearsal thought it was the best they’d had in a long time… I’m starting to feel like I ought to be directing again. The two shows on Friday were an outdoor gig in Redmond followed by Theatresports. Both went okay but felt like it could have been stronger… I worry that I may be falling out of practice. The theatre held auditions for the ensemble this week, so it will be interesting to see who the new recruits are.
I’ve been watching the first season of Dexter, which I’ve owned the DVDs for quite some time (a friend recommended it back when I was looking for some travel material). It’s delightfully dark and entertaining. It may tide me over until the next season of Entourage becomes available, although I got through the first season alarmingly quick.
Still no change to the mysterious power outage in my living room, but I’m getting away with extension cords so I’m not super-motivated to do anything about it. Actually, this weekend was probably when I should have taken a look at it. Oh well, I guess I can try again next weekend. In the meantime it seems my condo board has actually succeeded in getting a loan, the last piece required before they can begin their big repair project that was introduced to us nearly a year ago. They’ve finally begun collecting for the assessment on my condo, so I’ve got to remember to send a cheque in tomorrow. Originally I was planning on pre-paying the full amount, but things are uncertain enough for me at the moment that I want to maintain liquidity, so I’m sticking to the monthly fee until I figure things out. The good news is that with any luck they will actually get repairs underway soon, and we can have a brand spanking new exterior. That’ll be worthwhile, right?
Dan.
