A weeks worth of Thoughts!

Hello my Lovelies,

Well, it's been a VERY busy week, but I'm pleased to be blogging again!  Last weekend I saw 2 musicals with Natey J. (He is Husband to my friend the lovely Lo- Girl who won that big Broadway reality TV show last year!)  So while Lo-Girl was doing her big Broadway show , her hubby & I went to see Adding Machine on Friday night and then went to see Glory Days on Sunday afternoon.

I have to say that I was very excited by Adding Machine!  It was a very dark show that was kind of a combination of Sondheim and Adam Guettel & Jerry Herman.  And I really felt like each of the songs were a monologue instead of a song....  Was very good!  And so dark!  And the story is super relevant today - Man works counting numbers for same company for 25 years, gets replaced by an Adding Machine and kills his boss.  (that last bit isn't too relevant - but being replaced by technology is pretty relevant!)

Then I saw Made of Honor on Saturday night - with my girlfried M.Stryker.  (I love her last name - and the joke it makes.  When we first met she introduced herself and I said "Strike her!  But I just met her!)  Bad joke, but a good friend!  

We thought the movie was especially cheesy but it was fun to see the NYC locations that pretty girl & Mc Dreamy go to!  (and there's this one bakery that's like a mystery bakery -it's not Magnolia Bakery or Amy's --- it has a brown awning and looks very village-ish...  If anyone can figure it out, I'll buy you a cupcake there & overnight it from NY!)

So Sunday I went with Natey J. again to see Glory Days. (or Glory Day as the critics are calling it).  The show closed on it's opening night.  Sad.  I feel bad that they even produced it on Broadway - it was good for off Broadway or off-off Broadway, but really who ever thought that was a good idea also probably thinks that reviving Floro Dora is a good idea....

Onto the week!  Was a pretty good week!  

Auditions:

- Oklahoma at Papermill Playhouse.  I gave myself a 9 on a scale of 1-10 as far as auditions go! Felt really good about it!  

- Cohoes Music Hall for their season.  This was a 10 for sure!  I rocked it out.

- The Guys and Dolls chorus call for Portland Stage.  I gave my audition a 9 here.  It was good, I sounded great & was funny - they thought I was charming... AND... GAVE ME A CALLBACK!  I'm going to the "invited dancers" call on Tuesday morning!  (Fancy that - me!  And "Invited Dancer!" ... is that like a Private Dancer?)  

So all in all a good week of auditions - and a sad week for our musical theatre class -- was the Last week of the 7 week class I've been taking!  The casting director is my doppelganger - at least so I've been told!  (by like 50 people - but I think she's very nice looking, so I'll take that as a compliment)  So we'll call her the Telsey Twin, as she is from Telsey casting!  

She enjoyed my songs and I hope she will shove me at who ever is in charge of casting Wicked.  I'd give my left boob to play tree number three in that show!    

Tours, Texts & E-mails - Oh, my!

Lovelies,  today has been pretty uneventful so far...  Woke up late (uugh- that's $$ that I'll be missin' out on -- I get paid hourly, so when I don't work the cash doesn't come in!)  

BUT I did go on a tour today with the Urban Mothers Group - we went to the Whitney Museum and saw the biennial exhibit.  It's mainly of new emerging artists - very interesting stuff!  (mainly sculpture and video art, but overall was great!)  And our tour guide told us the stories behind the works of art & of how their makers chose (or didn't choose in some cases) to present the final product.  

Some of it was TOTALLY beyond my grasp, but the guide was very good at making what could be seen as just another exposed large photograph or just a pile of colored bees wax into a work of art -- I love that I get to call myself an artist, too!  It's fun for me to breathe life into a song or text.  (Speaking of fun - I still have to do my homework for the Musical Theatre Class I'm taking tonight!  I love me some Boyle, it's true -he's the guru for Musical Theatre lovin' folk here in NYC.  

So that brings me to work... where I'm at right now - calling Manhattan Mini Storage and waiting for a text from Cute Upper East Side Guy...  

Lovelies, did I do the right thing to send him a reminder text?  He hadn't called me, but told me on Friday night what a great time he had & that he would like to take me out again sometime.  But then never called.  So today - because I need closure - sent him a text & here's how things are playing out...

Miss M: Cute Guy!  Really enjoyed meeting you last week.  Thanks again for the great evening!  All the best - Miss Musical

And he responded:

CG: Hey there you are.  I had fun as well.  How's your day going...

Miss M: Great!  Just wrapped up a museum tour - was really interesting!  How's your day going?

CG: Not too bad.  Mad Busy with work though - sucks.  Want to be outside.  What museum?

Miss M: The Whitney.   Lots of Sculptures & Video Art!  Bummer that work is busy for you... Hope it gets better!  :)

And I haven't back from him yet.  (Mind you this is all of 15 minutes ago - so now I've laid the groundwork.  I texted.  I let him know I was still alive.  Now it's his turn to make the move...  

...or perhaps I've just got to face the fact that I was the first to get in touch and that usually means - what ladies?!  Say it with me:

He's Just Not that Into You!

I hate when that fucking book is right...  and it happens so many more times than not.  

On an up-note I'm drinking a lovely diet Coke right now - which can put a smile on my face at any time!  (I'm so easy to please... give me a diet Coke and a sunny day & I'm a happy girl!)
