Searching for perfect pints, plates, mugs, hikes & soaks as I try to make art and a living.

Cannot get motivated to leave the apartment so settling in w/ soup & cheese and a new script to read.


Nice chat yesterday with a friend on Maui. Good thing he’s such a sweet man, or I would hate him. Him & his sunny skies & tropical breezes.


@sallypnut Of course you sang Mira in the Middle School talent show. Of course. Suitcase… Brilliant choice.

My 1st solo was in kindergarten: Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, self accompanied on plastic toy guitar. Also over their heads. I’m pretty sure I had a little crying meltdown afterwards, in light of the other children’s philistine response or lack thereof.

Sang it for Rob Ashford two weeks ago in an audition. For a  Broadway show. Really. Also over their heads, I think. Certainly over mine. No guitar. No crying. Should have included both. Might have booked the job.

Dear God. I’ve already become one of *those* NY actors. The kind I hated when I was on the other side of the table.

Brushing up my Love’s Labour’s Lost for a work session today. Gee, if I could only make a living, nay killing, sitting around parsing W.S.
