a new york state of mind
Howdy. I don't have a lot of patience for this sort of thing anymore (obviously) but I can't seem to fall asleep tonight, which leads to general reminiscing. What makes this night different from any other night is that I went back and read my old blog posts. Well, some of them. It was most amusing.
the 411
Basically, I think my problem is that every time I go to bed I try to discover the one position in which I will be Perfectly Comfortable. As you may guess, this never works out. I also made the mistake of putting on Chet Baker, which has lead to toxic levels of nostalgia, self-reflection and melancholy.
good night and good luck
Alright, journalees, this has been fun. This doesn't seem to be doing much to get me to sleep, which sucks. Oh well. As always, I am simply trying to provide a slice of my life. In short: here I am in New York. I am trying to get a career in directing started, which is a tricky business (the starting of — let's not even get into the art). I'm finally feeling good about meeting new people after pretty much hanging out with exclusively Brown friends for the past 5 months. Life is Not Bad. Good, even. Come and visit some time!

the 411
I live in Brooklyn now. More specifically, in Williamsburg. But not the Bedford Ave part, although that's within walking distance. Instead I call the Grand Street area home, which is a decidedly less hipster-fied area. I'm currently working as the Artistic / Literary Intern at the Roundabout Theatre Company, which has been pretty great and is steadily 10-6, M-F. I do a lot of administrative work but also read script submissions, stage manage our developmental playreadings, and attend/evaluate other readings of plays we may be interested in. I see a lot of theatre and jazz, generally for free. It's pretty sweet.
the thing about sleep

opening night
I'm seeing this tomorrow night at the BAM. Here is the Times' article about it: www.nytimes.com/2008/11/30/theater/30Sel
