Welcome back everyone! Sorry about the hiatus, but with getting everything ready for school, and season tickets, and Charley's Aunt closing (which was awesome btw), I've been too busy to write. Also, the Apple iWeb site was just a pain in the ass to maintain. Everything was manual, which is good and bad, the good being I was able to customize everything just the way I wanted it without having to deal with any CSS or HTML. The bad was that I HAD to customize everything and do it all manually, meaning every time I posted a new blog, I had to add links everywhere to it. There was no easy way to archive the way I wanted, or to embed photos and videos, and the site would also look different on the PC's at work then how it did on my Macbook. As soon as iWeb becomes a little more stable and powerful, looks like I'll have to stick to services like Blogger, or maybe Wordpress, I head that's nice!
Every so often I may still post things with iWeb and link to them from here, but this will be the front page. I'll post links to other pages I add later in the sidebar, right by mah TWEETS. Which, if you want to follow me on Twitter, click here.
So anywho, greetings! If you're new to the site, and you've made it this far, congratulations! You've passed the test and may continue reading! To my incredible wonderful loyal followers (*cough* Sonia *cough*) thanks for your patience, and I promise I'll be better about updating. I think there's a way you can follow my blog and keep posted on updates. I believe somewhere in the sidebar there's an RSS Subscribe button. Or, if you already have a Blogger or Gmail or other such account, I believe you can add my blog to your reading list somewhere in 'settings.'
So back to business. This morning was another Sleeping Beauty performance at the Hale Centre Theatre in Gilbert for which we still have three weekends left, tickets available! Yours truly plays Prince True along with a star-studded cast of crew of some of the valley's most talented. The show went really well this morning, as it always does. It's a kid's show, of course, so the audiences are always really loud and easily entertained and amused, and also quite easily frightened. My friend Skyler and I are the dynamic duo, for he plays me singing dancing horse, Fantasy. That's write, we dance, we have a tap routine together, which we executed flawlessly today. (I made all the sounds Cambrian)! But then of course in the scene immediately following the number I nearly ate it! Somehow, Skyler traded spots in the middle of dialogue, and we usually run off in different directions, I was in his way. So I tried to run ahead of him to get away, and I got caught on my cape (yes, cape), and started the longest prat-fall in history... in tap shoes that have absolutely NO TRACTION on the stage. I stumbled for about ten feet, coming to about a 150 degree angle with the stage when finally I balanced myself and stood up, never touching the stage. *brushes off shoulder* Skyler and I nearly broke out laughing on stage, seeing as how the line right before my fall is "I'm going to awaken that princess!!" I should have fallen flat on my face, because, let's be honest, I play a very dorky prince...
After the show, a few of us went to Ra, which is like Japanese nouveau pseudo-sushi. Definitely not the most authentic, but still very very good... mmmm, Vegas rolls.....
....well, I guess Thomas didn't think the sushi was that great. We fed him a mango-crab roll, and this is what happened:
Actually, it slowly evolved into this face. He started off great, but after about 10 seconds, his usually exuberant, cheery demeanor melted into a seething, festering pit of despair and disgust. This is about 30 seconds in, because it takes my iPhone camera friggin' forever to turn on! This is just before the 20-foot lizard burst through his skull and proceeded to skitter out of the restaurant. Damn Thomas, always finding a way out of paying.
But there were happy moments:
Awww, sharing Dr. Pepper is oh-so-much fun. Here is Skyler as an old man with grey hair, and Thomas pretending his straw is a cigarette. Skyler is also having a stroke apparently. And what did Brenda think about all this??
Brenda sure like's those monkey rolls.
Well, that's all for now. Good times with good friends, makes me remember how lucky I really am... y'know, besides the signing autographs and taking pictures with little kids for FORTY-FIVE MINUTES while in full costume and make-up, but hey, it comes with the territory. Going to have a bbq and swimming with the family tonight... which I think means ordering Outback Steakhouse to go. And I have lots of leftover sushi too. :)
Oh, one last thing, this is what I came home to this afternoon:
My two gay cats, Eddie and Henry, holding dominion over Mr. Turtle. But who knows, maybe Mr. Turtle likes being on a leash... Leather Kitties!!
Until next time, I love your guts. Now for a martini.
