Goodbye, Two Thousand Mine. Drum roll, please - Twenty Ten for the Win!
I'm giving the coming year a title: The Year of Living Dangerously.
I am not implying that I will be skydiving or participating in rodeos. Merely that I'm going to attempt to live bravely this year. To do things I don't want to do, but that will be GOOD FOR ME! I am taking myself seriously in 2010. So there we have it. The Year of Living Dangerously.
And now, I am going to brave the crowds on my way to work. Talk about danger. Oy!

Wanderlust Strikes Again
Just found out that my dear friend who stayed with me for the past three weeks is now at home in Utah with swine flu. She was feeling unwell a few days before she moved out last week. Oy. Just hold on, body, just hold on!
I've recently been getting really, REALLY keen to travel again. I got to go to Chicago for a week this summer coming back from a gig, but the last time I went out of the country was in August 08, when I went to visit my best friend Hannah in London, and then to Edinburgh (where this photo was taken). I JUST WANT TO TRAVEL AND WANDER EVERYWHERE!!! I really am thinking about trying to make a trip to Krakow and Prague happen this spring, depending on how my gigs go. I have a pal who lives in Krakow, and I keep hearing it's amazing. I buy travel books and take fantasy trips in my head. Luckily, I am able to sometimes make them happen. Come on, Trans-Siberian Rail Road journey! One of these days...

The Last of the Three Show Days
I have eaten waaaaay too much fudge in the past couple of days. WAAAAAY too much.
Just had the last three show day of THE GREAT RECESSION, the show I'm doing downtown at The Flea (www.theflea.org). While we're used to them now, it is a bit of a relief to know we're only going to have one and two show days until we close. 3pm/7pm/10pm show schedule is rigorous, and we're all feeling it. Those guys that did COAST OF UTOPIA or THE NORMAN CONQUESTS marathons must've been monsters by the time they were done! What stamina! I mean, our shows are pretty short, but three understudies were on today! One of the girls twisted an ankle during the last show, and as she usually is jogging and exercising until she collapses and dies(I think it's safe to say with confidence that it's a dark piece), so one of the other ladies in the cast had to go on for her in that role. Ahh, the joys of live theatre!
Right-o. Must be off to bed. Brunch with the parents and lil' bro in the morning, then off to a matinee, then off to my day job to make some cash for Ye Olde Bank Account. I work at a restaurant across the street from Radio City Music Hall. I can't wait till the Rockettes stop dancing. Four to six shows a day? Really? That's a lot of hungry tourists. With strollers. After the holidays, all will be a piece of cake!
I think I'll have sausage tomorrow at brunch,

Christmas Eve
Cherubs ~
This is my first blog post. An obvious and dull statement, but a fact all the same. I figured I'd start a blog because, hey, all of the cool kids have been doing so for years! Hey, I'm on Twitter. I'm part of this generation!
Later today, I'm going to be singing at a Christmas Eve mass at a church in the village, along with a couple of kids from KASPAR HAUSER (a show I did last spring at The Flea) and my lil' brother Aaron! Delightful! If we can only remember all of the verses to "We Three Kings" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem," everything'll be gravy.
I'll keep this short, so that I might spend time with the fam during this holiday season (and my two days off)! I'll leave you with this Christmasy haiku:
Carol of the Bells:
Happy songs in minor keys
Make me want to sing.
Adieu.
