The Darndest Things...

I've had to start a note on my phone to write down quotations that I hear. Staying up late with friends and working with kids generally yields a whole bunch. Here's just a few in the note; expect more to follow when they happen across me.

Me: But you don't need 50. You just need one.
Student: All you need is love.
Me: No, no. Love is zero in tennis. All you need is love plus one.

Me: What's your favorite band?
Student: The Beatles.
Me: Cool. What's your favorite Beatles song?
Student: I don't know any Beatles songs.

Student: My butt doesn't get as easily sensitive as my feelings do.

Welcome!

Hi there. 
Uh, either you know me or you don't. How's that for profound? If you know me, you're probably here via thinklovely.livejournal.com. Well hey. Glad to see you on this side of the internet. If you don't know me, then I don't particularly know how you got here, but I'm glad you came. 

This blog is basically for me to discuss the books I read, the movies I watch, and the plays and concerts I go see. I try to do 50 of each a year. At least. I'm already a bit behind this year, since I was busy trying to graduate from undergraduate school and get work. Then I went cross-country for a month in a car with two of my best friends. Needless to say, I was way more concerned with traveling than I was with keeping up with my book/movie/play goal.

But I'm back on track, so that's where we'll start.

I'll probably also post occasionally about life as a professional actor. Hey - it's a crazy life, but someone's gotta live it, right? And it may as well be me. I may even post a bit about my stint as a summer camp director at my local Arts Center this summer. It's an all-over-the-place job. We've got camps ranging from Rock U - Rock Band Camp to Disney Princess Ballet Camp. See what I mean?
