Time Waits For No-one

When did I get so busy all of a sudden? I've been considering paying for a month's membership of Bikram yoga to help me get in shape for a play I will be in mid-July (just dancing a bit in it, nothing big) and while counting up my free evenings I realise that I seem to have an endless list of auditions, rehearsals, concerts/shows and people to reacquaint with. And it all seems to be taking place now!

This week consists/has consisted of attending a Simon Amstell show with Citz which was very fun. We had dinner first at Brazilian restaurant and even though they didn't have our first meal choices we found some tasty food to enjoy. It also made me appreciate the fact that the smoking ban will come into effect in 10 days now. I'm sure food will taste a LOT better from then without the headache-inducing smoke wafting over every bite. Yum! Last night I attened another audition and even though there's no script for the show (it will be developed with the professional actors & non-professional actors) it sounds like an interesting project, involving movement and taking advantage of the performance space for setting the scenes. I should hear shortly if I get a callback for Saturday. If I do get a part in the show then that's July & August booked up for me which is daunting but exciting at the same time. Tonight I have a rehearsals for the show I was talking about at the start of this entry. As I said before, it's nothing big, but a group of us will be opening the show with a dance routine (asthe play is set in/around a strip club) so I need o make at least one rehearsal and understand what the hell I'm doing there. My hooker boots & hotpants are in my bag and I'm ready to go.

The rest of the week involves meeting up with friends and plotting world domination.

The following weeks includes rehearsal, a casting, meeting a friend and going to the theatre. Sometimes I wonder if I've taken on too much, but then the when the alternative is arriving home at 6pm every night, watch endless TV and allow my time, youth, life etc pass me by without realising it.. then I'd rather be fully booked. I just wish I had a PA to help with all the fiddily bits.
