| I should be reading for my uber-final of vengence in Jewish AmeriLit that just keeps getting bigger and bigger and more and more painful.?There were just a few things I wanted to get down before then.Last night of Kitamura.?On reflection at this point, I can't imagine it in any other setting but Paul's backyard.?It's turned out, despite all the setbacks and mishaps, to be a very good show.But for some reason, I just keep getting compliments like mad.?My ego has been stroked like a purring kitten to the point where it has swollen to epic proportions.?Which, for me, isn't a lot.?Seriously, though, everyone love my performace.?I really don't know why.?I'm not an actor, not like the others.But this is something that really got to me (in a good way) last night.?Paul's neighbors insisted on meeting me after the show (not the cast-- me).?They shook my hand and said they really enjoyed it.?The guy shook my hand extra long.?Then he looked at me and said that I would make it... that I would be famous.?He has an eye for that apparently.?He said I had my lines down cold (which I didn't, as Lecie will attest when I nearly forgot to give her the line that lets her exit) and that this was my best performance yet (they had seen it the last three nights, but the others in the cast?also said the same thing).?Actually, I lost my glasses turing the tirade sequence and had to do the rest of the show (including going out in the audience) blind.?But still... to go out of their way to say that to me.?Of all people, to me.
Maybe they are right and I'm just fighting it.?Maybe I'm internalizing it all and it's going to burst out any second now.?I don't honestly know.?I do know that one of my flaws is my humility (in that I have an annoying abundance of it).?Either way, I'm slowly adapting my idea to quit acting.?Maybe I'll try out for Lysistrata (even though I said alllllll the way back at the beginning of the year that I would have nothing to do with that play).We had an amazing audience last night.?Shimko came.?Lecie's mom and my dad saw it for the second time (minus the rain).?Tonight, Mel is coming.?Hopefully, despite the rain that has been falling all day, our last night will rock!After the show last night, Dad surprised me with something I've been wanting for a while now-- the boxed set to Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.?I had been looking for it on the off-chance it turned up.?Apparently, he found it and got it (even though I told him before not to).?But I'm happy.?Twelve hours (twenty-four episodes) of my past on a two-disk DVD set.?I've been thinking that for my birthday, I might invite some friends somewhere and we can watch little bits of shows from my past that I really love-- things that people probably haven't seen like WW or Wonderfalls.?Maybe a movie or two.?I don't know.?That's half a year away.?By then, who knows where I'll be??Or who? |
