BIG apple

that's a bad cell phone late nite photo of her madgesty the moon resting on her manhattan skyline throne....note to amateur blogger self...must get camera!

finally able to get online in nyc! it was sort of a nice forced vacay from the internet as i left my computer chord hook up thingy in o-town. jennifer lauren, aka bucca tom zai-zar (happy birthday week!) makes james bond-esque pass off (thru brutal and torrential downpour) of said computer chord to monique in winter park who then flies into to jersey and delivers me the goods on 52 and 8th! plugged in and on the backstage from the front porch blog dashboard coming to you thru the inner sanctum of the web live from NYC!

so good to be back for a second summer and my second "all girl" show in a row! from last years lady nascar driving show VROOOM! to this years orphaned rock stars in GEM! THE TRULY OUTRAGEOUS PARODY...hmmm...pop chick summer theatre! i think i have discovered a new genre! so much love and grateful appreciation to newlyweds kenny and barry for letting me stay in their fab glass midtown spaceship in the sky! after the nightmare of 6 years of nyc living with fires and rats and jersey and murder in harlem...i have nothing to feel but thankful and blessed beyond measure.

arrived monday and have been relaxin, chillaxin, exercising in condo gym, joggin in central park, creating culinary masterpieces, watching season one disc 3-6 of JERICHO (good quality time with skeet ulrich) rehearsing with Gem and the Holographs (names changed for legalities) and waiting for pay day tomorrow so i can see some shows and some sights! TITLE OF SHOW tomorrow with monique and tom who are currently on a helicopter buzzing around the statue of liberty. what a performance that lady gave in CLOVERFIELD! stunning! mind blowing!

best news i could have received this morning...i GOT THE JOB! after a two year audition...and two national searches....i am now officially a tenure track assistant prof at ucf and the associate director of playfest at o-shakes! was ready for whatever decision came my way but am very happy it worked out this way as i love the job and was hoping i would be able to keep it for a while. thanks for everyone's support and words of encouragement along the way! having a job these days sometimes feels like a miracle....

one of my fave things to do in the miller howard spaceship is to open the curtains to watch the sunset over the river. this photo was taken my first nite here. the litttle dot is not another UFO but the time warner cable blimp...i know...i have to get a camera with a zoom!



happy birthday jennifer and miss sammy! i am sooooooooooo sad i will miss the pool parties and the roasts...and aunt edy falling down...always fun to witness!

peace out people...and if anyone is friends with skeet ulrich on facebook can u please suggest that he adds me as a friend...thank you and good afternoon fellow human beings...it is an honor to share the world with you...now go eat some chocolate pop tarts!
