Conundrum: first Cincinnati acting job or first wedding ever, which happens to be of my "first love" (the one from elementary school) and see family and friends, most notably a "sister" who now lives in Hawaii.
So I took the job.
I feel great about it. It's about gays in the military and isn't really a script; it's strictly verbatim interviews with a few people. That'll be an interesting challenge. I'm the only white person in the cast, which will be an awesome experience. (or make no difference whatsoever; but it IS Cincinnati) The woman (large, black woman) who is my lover in the show is currently in a one woman production at the same theatre company.
I approached her and said "Hi. I'm going to be your lover." She was slightly terrified, politely said nice to meet you and walked away. She still has no idea what I was talking about or that we're doing a show together!!! ;)
My first article for the Big paper in town is due next week, and I'm quite excited. It recieves about six times the distribution of anything I've written for in the past. The article is a typical weekend where I live. (The neighborhood is the up and coming arts district, and I happen to live in the "infamous" Ice Cream Factory)
Ghetto-hood warehouse living Lindsay style!
The director guy also happens to live a block down the street from me. He's also from Jersey and was at Radford University at the same time that I was there visiting Britain.... And now we're working together on numerous one on one scenes.... It always intrigues me when I encounter people who have followed a similar physical path (as in where we've lived) - though perhaps I make more of it when that individual is damn sexy!
I found the most extraordinary dog hanging out in the middle of Central Parkway playing with crack pipes. I really wanted to keep her, but roomie objected. The dog has a happy home with a mountain biker (I tend to trust those folks) who wanted a playmate for his dog, Thelma. He almost named her Loise, 'til I pointed out we were calling her
Schmootzie Superfly GhettoPup, and that name change was too drasticly clean and traumatizing.
So she's Weezie.
The End.
