I came on two buses and a train

Two evenings ago I had my cultural event for the month. I went to the Kennedy Center for Carnival. The excitement about it is that the first acting thing I ever did was Carnival. I had a great time in that show and I continued acting for the remainder of high school. The show was ok. I did enjoy their acrobats, but the characters seemed very miscast and their abilities were only so so. Their blocking was much better than in my high school production: no semi circles were used and people moved around alot.

On a separate note: I am pleased to announce that two of my friends were just listed on IMDB (Internet Movie DataBase). They are in the same 6 minute feature, which was produced out of UCF, but their names are now in IMDB. I applaud them and are very proud. So if you get a chance look up Jamie Cline and Deena Patsourakas.

Things have been good this week. I havent been as exhausted after getting sick last weekend. I've also not been so in the funk lately or depressed, so maybe I'm turning the corner on all that.

As I mentioned on my posting of seeing King Lear, I plan to try and do at least one cultural thing a month in the hopes of exploring life and what DC has to offer. Well last night, I got a last minute invite from M&M asking me to go to the Kennedy Center with him and his friend to see Edward Scissorhands, which was a dance recital (is that the right term?). It was good. Mind you I know very little about dance so I can't critique it the same way I can acting. I am intriqued though how that movie can inspire someone so much to create this performance piece off of that. I find that to be the most interesting aspect of it all. But I had a good time and boys at the Kennedy Center are cute!!!!!

Ruthie has been getting snippy lately with me and I don't really know why. I don't think he realizes it, but some of his comments just make me want to keep my life private and not tell him things. Which is hard, because I am an open individual and really do live my life as an open book (despite the requests I get to not do that as much ;)

Today is Valentine's day and while I do not have one, I hope my readers are enjoying the holiday (as much as I enjoyed my job opening 2 hours late today due to the snow.)
