[Oh, I hope not, Psychotic Baby. I sincerely hope not.]

Well, friends, this is about the end of it - after tonight, we're into show week.
As with most of the shows I've worked on, it seems simultaneously an eternity and no time at all since we first started. And now it's nearly over! Surreal. Especially since this will be my last show here at Truman (#10, at least?), before I graduate and go on to (hopefully) bigger and better things. It's a bit bittersweet, I guess, if you look at it that way.

Anyway, let's not get bogged down in the Scary Future Thinkings. Here are 10 things I learned during tech week for No Exit.

that time

It's that time again, boys and girls.
Last year, I made (and shared) some New Year's resolutions for the first time in my life. Most years, I haven't bothered, because a) my goals and desires fluctuate a lot, and b) I can't fail at something I haven't admitted to trying - right?

(One's at least an understandable excuse, but the other is just really lame. So I'm going to try not to use it anymore.)

Last post, I told you a bit about my 2011, so I won't bore you with any drawn-out reflections. But I will say that it was a pleasant surprise to look back at the resolutions I made, and realize that I may have actually sort of indirectly and occasionally succeeded in them. Here, have a look and tell me what you think.

a quick look backwards

Hello, friends!

Well, here we are, just a couple of days from 2012. I thought for awhile about trying to pull together some kind of Best-Of post, but honestly, my year wasn't nearly that simple.

no hablo espanol.

Spanish final tomorrow morning. Studying all day today. This is about all I have to say about it.

I break for trivia

Yes, ma'am.

Not much to say today, but I have emerged briefly from my books to bring you this, an article called "7 Reasons Why Theatre Makes Our Lives Better."
Granted, these won't be useful if you're looking for something to help you explain to the family why you make no money, and some of them may be sort of obvious to those of us in the thick of things, but still. It's nice to know we've got intellectuals in our ranks who've taken the time to elucidate these things.

Anyway - thanks for stopping by! As a bonus, here is the single most important Spanish phrase you will ever have to know:
"Mantenga su mano del chulo fuerte."
First one to translate it gets five extra-credit points.
