It says a lot about me that I set myself a deadline to complete some work by lunchtime and instead of completing it, I've lost interested and am now blogging instead. I'm astounded that it's now July. It seems like only 5 days ago I wrote the previous entry and everything still stands. Still busy, which is always a good thing.
Nothing huge to report at the moment. The days pass and llife keeps on chugging away. To recap: Fi, Ellie and I went to see Aerosmith on the 24th and despite standing for hours, having 7 foot loons push in front of us and getting very very dirty, a good time was had by all. We discovered a new(ish) rock band called The Answer and I had the pleasurable experience of using an anti-bacterial handwash cream in place of a wash-hand basin in the portable loos.
On Friday, I took to the stage at a fundraiser for one of my plays and due to the music being played at the wrong time, me & my fellow dancers all started to dance at the wrong time whcih completely threw us and a once polished, sexy routine becames an amusing, confused shambles. My concentration on stage was hindered by constantly glancing down to make sure I hadn't popped out for my corset. I didn't at any time but for the main performances I shall be bringing out the toupee tape/pasties/sticky plasters etc. in force for peace of mind.
Me and Ellie spent a very rainly Saturday at the edge of Trafalgar Square watching the Pride celebrations. We braved the elements for performances from Darren Hayes (LOVING his new single) and Kerry Ellis (playing Elphaba in Wicked). Straight after this we went our seperate ways towards our home to dry out, and for me to indulge myself in the Doctor Who finale.
I could go on and on about what I've filled my days with but I'll save that for another blog entry. In case you're curious, the work I had do to by lunchtime, I completed near 6pm. Who wouldn't want to hire me?! ;-)

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.
