Bad Blogger! Bad!

I know being busy is no excuse. We're all busy. All I can say is that after a full day or work, rehearsal, orthodontist, and bicycling, I'm laying on my futon typing at 10 to midnight. Work has geared up a lot and --- and that's where I fell asleep, and was woken up at 1 AM with the computer still on my chest.

Sorry, dear readers, life has gotten in the way. I have been very busy with little to no time for myself. This is my first moment to write and I'm distracted by my dad watching tv -- not because of the tv show itself, but becuase he's watching it online and it's not loading very quickly, and he's going to want me to fix it somehow. Ugh.

It hasn't been all work and no play. Rehearsal is literally play time. Auditions are a little more work than play, but it can be the only type of performace I do for months on end, so hopefully it's a little play time. Then there was a the tremendous concert by an old from Emerson http://www.mirandarussell.com/ at an amazing venue in Rockport, Shalin Liu Center, http://www.rockportmusic.org/. A great night after a long day on the road. And nothing beats catching up with an old friend who is willing to put you up for the night!

Today was more about chores for the folks. I'm far from technical support, but I'm what's available. After a major meltdown, I actually got the computer running. And I am not exactly sure how it all worked. But it did. After 4 hours, and some basic programming, I got the dsl to auto-connect, and dvds to play on an Ubuntu operating system. Yeah, I had never heard of it before either. I had planned on going for a run, or at least hoping on the exercise bike. Instead, I just tried to refrain from kiling anyone who stressed me out during my Linux learning curve.

But when all was said and done, I received a reward. My mum and I watched "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead". Joe Cross tells an amazing of rescuing himself through green juice. http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/ He was on a cocktail of medications that were not improving his condition, but only trying to keep his symptoms in check. His journey and the few people who decide to join him -- are simply amazing and inspiring. I can't recommend this documentary enough. I went on a 30 day juice fast and ran a half marathon last year trying to inspire my mother. She watched this 90 min documentary and she was ready to go on a juice fast. Seriously, it's that inspiring.
