I don't usually do these kinds of things, but I am completely surprised that the BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books listed here. So. Looks like I've read 55 of these.
Instructions:
• Bold those books you've read in their entirety.
• Italicize the ones you started but didn't finish or read only an excerpt.

- 01:45 Long long day, lots of ups and downs. Concerns like $ and bills intruding on the fun theater stuff. Thx to people that allowed me to share. #
- 19:37 Double Rainbow is everywhere!!! (I love my Hipstamatic) yfrog.com/j5te0rj #
I always get a pang right about this time of year because I remember that I have to send out a million resumes or else I will be living in my car and eating beans out of a can come October. Filling up the period between when Shakespeare Santa Cruz closes and when the audition tour starts up again is always a hustle, but I have promised myself that I will not go back to working retail again unless I am desperate. It's soul crushing, no joke.
Luckily, it looks like I will be working straight through the end of August and going immediately from show to show every month (with the exception of December), and I may even be able to work a day job or do another show between October and the end of November (I'm only working rehearsing nights most days). And shocker of shockers - I'm getting paid for all of it. Maybe not much, but getting paid nonetheless.
So that's about where I'm at - I'm trying to avoid the 3 week slump, when you're just about to go into tech week and your patience for bullshit is wearing thin. So far I'm succeeding. Remembering to eat helps with that, I've found.
On a completely different note, I read this funny post today at Dooce.com titled La Vie En Janice and it cracked me up - I couldn't immediately think of a Janice in my life, but I'm sure most of us know one.
Ta for now...
- 02:11 Just finished a massive bedroom cleaning... if I didn't do it tonight, I'd be screwed for tech week. Also doctor, bank, pharmacy & movie! #
- 09:58 Woke up with "Black Hole Sun" stuck in my head. Hm. #
- 08:41 Oh my god... RIP Harvey Pekar. www.mercurynews.com/celebrities/ci_15497
332?nclick_check=1 # - 08:42 Harvey Pekar was one of the true unique voices in comic books. Sad loss. #
- 00:06 @allisonplus Did I know this about you? (!fb) #
- 00:09 Today I said halfpenny instead of ha'penny in rehearsal, Bad Shakesnerd! + called someone by the wrong name tho, so maybe I just need sleep. #
- 12:19 I love it when my doctor and my pharmacy miscommunicate. It makes me feel so important and loved. (sarcgasm over) #
- 17:39 "Nirvana" by Charles Bukowski read by Tom Waits bit.ly/b3HygG #
- 18:58 This is to make up for the super deep Bukowski poem I just posted. @paulapoundstone talks Twilight: bit.ly/bH24D8 #
- 17:39 My iPhone was stolen while I was in a Supershuttle yesterday. If you're trying to get a hold of me I'm sorry. Getting a new phone tomorrow. #
- 12:24 Landed in LA. Somewhere between the air travel, the 10 bug bites, and all the Tokyo walking, my feet have swollen to twice their size. #
