Today was the first time in six days that I didn’t have rehearsal so naturally, I slept until 1:00, didn’t get out of my pajamas, and watched a lot of television.
Now I’m sitting on my bed going over a Dysart monologue from Equus and learning “Toucha Toucha Touch Me” from Rocky Horror.

Steak 'n Shake
So, a Steak ‘n Shake just opened in New York. The other night I went there with Honda and Jack, and got a steakburger (with fries) and a chocolate shake. I somehow managed to eat the entire massive burger, all of the fries, and maybe a third of the milkshake before I felt like my stomach was going to stage a mutiny against the rest of my body. The food was all awesome, but on the subway ride...

Anxiety.
For The Displacement Project, we had to write one stream-of-consciousness page on what it feels like to worry. Here’s mine. It’s to be read very, very quickly.
I miss you and I don’t know if I’m supposed to or not. I know I told you I was trying to focus on the present but that doesn’t mean we couldn’t have talked about the future even a little. I feel like I’ll have to say something...

For the record.
Summary of my Christmas:
1. “Rooms, motherfucker, do you got them?” “Nah man, that ain’t me.”
2. Monogrammed stocking.
3. Gifts! I got gifts! It was unnecessarily sweet of them.
Summary of my New Year’s:
1. Party #1: fruit and foosball and people I didn’t know (who were all nice).
2. Party #2: dancing (notably to “All My Friends” and...

End of the semester.
My finals are done, Amanda is coming to stay for the next three days, I am slowly increasing my number of velvet clothing items, when I go to Arizona with Alexis we’re going to Disneyland (and Kathryn is probably going to come too!), I ate a bunch of ice cream tonight, I don’t have to wake up early tomorrow, I love my friends more than I can deal with sometimes, I am getting emotional...

Julius Caesar, Part Two (Hark! A Vagrant) →
Casts lists for our studio productions came out today! I’m playing Cassius in the all female version of Julius Caesar and I am SO STOKED. And thought this was appropriate.

Today I got tickets to see John and Hank Green on January 11th, and Stephen Sondheim and Tony Kushner on January 17th. Combined with How to Succeed on the 7th, Jeff Mangum on the 20th, and rehearsals for The Displacement Project virtually all month, January is looking pretty sweet. Who cares that I’m only going to be home for two and a half days?

The Maids
There was one awkward pause in the show on Friday but Adam and Ty came to see it and then on Saturday so many people came and it was overwhelming. Alexis got me flowers and my parents took the two of us out to lunch and I got a lot of hugs and sometimes I question why I want to be an actor because it’s difficult and uncertain and I get so nervous sometimes but then I do a performance like we...

This weekend was:
train rides and memorizing lines and Words With Friends (and family) and delicious food and I wish I could eat my aunt’s stuffing every single day and psychedelic music and Philadelphia and beautiful weather and Stephen Sondheim and walking and hanging out with Seamus and laughing and Retrospect and AIDS Thrift and procrastinating as usual and trying not to feel weird and sneaking into...

This Week/Next Week
This week was a good week. I got a part in a play, I rode on top of a double decker bus and went ice skating for free, I got all of the wonderful things I ordered from McSweeney’s, Adam and I got Jeff Mangum tickets, and the weather was lovely (for the most part).
But next week is going to be the most ridiculous thing ever: three auditions, three short papers and one longer one, a ton of...

Going to the Berkshires for the weekend was exactly the kind of thing that I needed, but I wish we could have stayed for a few more days. For the first time, I’m not thrilled to be back in New York.

1. McSweeney’s is having an absolutely absurd sale and it’s overwhelming.
2. I saw a show at BAM tonight called 69 Degrees that was underwhelming, but Adam, Jeff, and I got 2 Bros afterwards.
3. I’m have to be on a bus at 6:20 in the morning. Why the hell am I still awake? (Answer: Because I’m an idiot and still browsing the McSweeney’s shop but mostly because...

This weekend was weird
and consisted of:
1. Going to Brooklyn with Ty and Alexis, buying a pair of really cool shoes for nine dollars.
2. A New Studio actors party, at which I shared a bottle of wine with my friend Ben and had a generally good time.
3. Seeing A Bright Room Called Day at Tisch, another congratulatory pumpkin.
4. Alexis and I unintentionally having a party. There were like, fifteen people in our room....

Some things that happened.
On Thursday, I went to Brighton Beach to be in a student film. We found a dead cat and I had to prod it with an umbrella. ARRRRT!
On Friday, Adam bought a cassette tape deck, Ty showed us her short film that Alexis and I were in, and I went to a weird party in a tiny apartment on Thompson.
On Saturday, a few of us saw Trojan Women at Atlantic. I had mixed feelings about it. Then there was the...

I walk past this building all the time, wondering what it used to be and assuming that it’s just some derelict urban relic now. How wrong I was! This is amazing.
