we've just muddled through an extended tech/preview period for xmas carol (that's right, i took the 'christ' right the fuck out of christmas, didn't i). it's still in student matinees and opens officially on friday. i took this morning off, since i'm not running the matinees. i still have notes to do but i figure i deserve one morning to myself.
nothing new on the liver front - i don't have fatty liver, ultrasound was normal.. no hepatitis, liver enzymes are still inexplicably elevated. i now have an appt. with a gastroenterologist on dec. 10.
i'm painting a mural for my friend alan - he and his partner, roger, have just finished their 'theater room' and i'm painting theater drapes on one wall that will frame the tv. i've never painted a mural before, and am extremely apprehensive. i've cartooned out the big parts, and am almost ready to start painting. i am nervous.
on wednesday i drive to janesville, wi, to talk to an intro to theater class about my design work for the guys. i typically hate being in front of groups but, since i plan to end up in the land of academia, i suppose i'd better get used to it.
recently purchased the new rufus wainwright - want two. it's very distinctive. i had to listen to it twice to really get into it and now i've got favorite tracks which include (but are not limited to): old whore's diet, hometown waltz, and the art teacher.
away now to the shower, and then to put in an appearance at work.

you know, i used to really hate being in front of groups too, but now I'm so comfortable with it that I listed it as one of my skills the other day. I bet you'll be fine. kids want a person who is enthusiastic, knows their shit, and talks to them, not at them. you can do all those things, plus crack some jokes :). they like jokes.
okay, so now i totally want you to paint a mural in the girls' room. no, seriously.
i actually know exactly where Janesville is, we go past it everytime we go to my place in wisconsin...which you've never been to...which is a grave, grave mistake...whats up with that 'G'? i really hope your live starts behaving...you should just look down at it and be like "Yo! Liver...cut it the fuck out man!"
thats my only sage advice...Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey J9, how did the teaching gig go? I used to be completely terrifed to speak in public, now look what I do for a living :-/ It does grow on you after awhile.
