Show Stuff

Still out of work, still waiting for the outcome of THREE job interviews I've had recently so while I'm waiting I thought I'd do a bit of blog updating. Not that I have an awful lot to say. Panto rehearsals are dominating my life at the minute and I rarely have a free evening now. Between now and Sunday 20th I'll only have 2 evenings off (and all day Saturday 6th). How am I meant to have a social life??!! Our show ends at 10pm so I suppose I could always shoehorn in a hour or two here or there at parties or events. it is possible. I might just collapse with exhaustion.

Quite preoccupied with my solo singing parts I have in the show. During rehearsal I get nervous and forget all technique AND i forget to breathe which is not helpful when one needs to use her vocal chords. Hoping I can master the art of continuing to sing in my chest voice despit the song sitting right on the break between my chest and head voice. Helpful! it is a wonderful song though and one I want to do well. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

And that's it from me. Without a job to do in the daytime and panto taking up all my free time there's not much room for anything else. I could talk about personal, personal stuff but I should draw the line somewhere. Don't know what I'd say anyway. Boys are confusing and battling my extreme self-doubt is boring. Onto the final month of this year!

Christmas Wishful Thinking

My New Man Friend is going back to Brazil at Christmas to spend time with his family. Two of my girl friends are going to be spending their Christmas and New Year in Thailand and Cambodia. What fun. I could do with a cash injection right about now to book me a ticket to far, far away places. I'm willing it to happen!

Fings Wot I'm Doing

I'm really not sure what I want to do with this blog at the moment. I'm obviously not updating and crap at it but dont' want to close it completely. The Twitter blurb on the right should tell you that I'm still alive and kicking. I'm finally working again after being unemployed for yonks. It's only a 7 week role but it's a start. Hopefully find another role to move into once this contract is up but if not then at least I'll have filled a gap on my CV and I won't look quite so useless.

On top of working I'm also keeping busy with rehearsals for a pantomine I'm performing in next month and getting organised for a play I'll be stage managing too on top of trying to maintain a full and active social life. It's all looking quite busy until December 19th. I was also offered a 2 day intern role in a small theatre company which would have be interesting and beneficial to do but that offer came on the day I started in my new office role meaning I was unable to accept the offer. Typical!

That more of less sums up the past week. October was quite packed and busy for someone who was out of work. I found stuff to do. From volunteering for brain research at a university to taking part and rehearsing for two shows were performed on the same night! How about that for a juggling act. I'm slowly getting back in touch with people I have been planning to catch up with for ages. It's actually proving to be very difficult. Not just me with the busy schedule it seems.

So that's a quick scribble bringing you up to date on various things. I have a job, I have a show to perform, one to stage manage too, I have friends, I have no money, I'm still not over MJ and I haven't seen This Is It in the cinema.
