Block 737: July 31, 2015

It’s almost 1pm and I’m still at work. This dental work isn’t gonna stop me! (The Vicodin helps. Really.) It’s also Friday, the last Friday before my shop goes back on contract for next season.

In one week, the costume shop goes back on contract for the season. I’m simultaneously glad (people in the shop again!) and sad (goodbye easy, low-key summer hours). Back to work. I’m more glad than anything. Date: July 27, 2015 Crane: 733 Days Spent on Project: 888 Location: NW Portland, OR Person I would have … Continue reading →

Getting a late start today since I met some friends for an early brunch this morning. We talked about boys the entire time. We’re all in our mid-30s, with a range of opinions and experiences. Things never seem to change. I realize we were an incredibly obvious Sex and The City cliche. Date: July 26, … Continue reading →

I feel like the character Bobby in the final moments of the musical COMPANY, thinking and repeating “I’m ready” over and over and over again.
