Hail, Craigslist, Full Of Grace

Today's winner of "Links I Don't Want to Click On Because What I Imagine Them To Be Has To Be More Entertaining That What They Actually Are."

From craigslist's job listings: Lumpers Needed in Newark, CA.

Go on, click. Guaranteed disappointment. Let me know how it turns out.

Button, button...

Just a quickie: I finally updated my website, after letting it stagnate all summer. Hooray! There are some new Easter eggz... good luck finding them. Mwa ha.

In Closing

It may seem like an awful lot of work was put into this show to only have had five performances, but I don't know that I would have it any other way!

We had a wonderful weekend of shows, closing to a packed house. And for a matinee, too! Friends and family rolled in from all over the place to see what we created, and we did ourselves proud.

This has been a truly remarkable time in my life, and I will always be thankful to have had this opportunity. I think everyone involved in this process will carry the spirit of the show with them into the future, pursuing their dreams with an extra hint of determination.

But what's next for Menz, you ask? Well, I'll be moving up to the Bay Area in a week or so, to live with my parents for a while. (Woot!) I got a job as a personal assistant to a local business owner, and I will be working with her- primarily from my home office- as soon as I return. Gainful employment for the win! While I'm there, I hope to a) save save save those dollars, and b) take classes at the Circus Center in San Francisco. (Which will involve spend spend spending those dollars, but I think of it as a shrewd and bendy career move.)

Lots to look forward to in the coming months, really. I hope to continue to excavate my old bedroom at my parent's house- something I have been chipping away at for the last three or four years and which never seems to get anywhere- and turn it into a more versatile space. The holidays are roaring down the track, and I can't wait for them to begin. Bring on the butter-laden treats! There's the autumn weather, which Santa Barbara has yet to figure out, and the reappearance of hats, scarves, socks, and thick sweaters... not to mention KNITTING! And, of course, finally getting to kick it with the Bay Area crew, whose company I have not enjoyed for an extended period of time in many moons. Work-wise, I hope to make (LONG OVERDUE) contact with the Kennedy Center, and shame-facedly offer my writing to them once again. Fingers crossed, cats and kitties.

Long story short, Om was a glorious thing, and I can't wait to start the next chapter. Onward!
