Life is Good. And Cold.

I love Minneapolis. It's my town. And I don't really want to move away, but when it's -22 degrees in the morning and I have a 4 block walk to the bus stop...I do wonder if I could get a job in Honolulu.

Things are going very well lately. I'm quite pleased with my work on Jekyll and Hyde. Not proud, exactly, but pleased. I think I'll get asked back to do more work for Park Square, and that's awesome. I met the artistic director the other day when I was working on props and had a very nice conversation where I got to feel like I was being insightful, and shmooze a bit. He mentioned that finding good props designers was hard, and I said that in my experience, most people who design props do so as an in, but that it's not really what they want to be doing. He seemed to agree, and mentioned that it's interesting how often that happens in theater, that he knows lots of stage managers who really want to be running theaters, or doing something other than what they are doing. It was a good little conversation, and I'm hoping it was enough to make me stick in his mind a bit.

I have Monday off, and a very full weekend, which makes me happy. I should still have time to get some reading done (I need to push to get ahead again), do some laundry and clean the house, play some Ptolus, hang out with Andrew and help Alisha paint her new house. And maybe catch up on some sleep. And be happy that the temperatures are going back to the positive side of the gauge.
