Saturday Night Fever

...there is no significance to the title of this posting except that it's saturday night, it's sups hot in my apartment and just happen to be watching a movie with the name "saturday night fever".
in other news I am learning how to be a grown up, I called my landlord guy and was really nice but stern and convinced him that as long as i'm willing to pay for the use of the laundry room, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to use it. I played hardball but he finally saw reason so i'm gonna go do laundry and I'm very excited about it. We start teching Damn Yankees tomorrow and previews start this week, I am very excited about it.
My hair is a little uneven but it's okay cause I think I'm cute anyway.
Let's see, anything particularly cool happen to me, well I got my security deposit back from my old place and i decided to get a new phone, that's very exciting. It's gonna be blue and an mp3 player so i can put a few songs on there if i want for emergencies like if i leave my ipod at home or it dies.
Hmmmmmm I really have no news, Oh Jonny and Leta might come with Lana and Nathan to see my show.......I'm pretty sure I misspelled all those names, Sorry guys. but i'm really excited about that
Oh it has been totally hurricaning here, but it's also been super hot.............those two things=not pleseant. ....I thought i was in the mood to have a clever and witty post but i thought wrong........more later

All work and a play makes Alex a busy boy

So things are going pretty well, I am such a lucky person and here's why...
So far, every show I've had the pleasure of being in has either been a really good production or it has just challenged me and left me feeling really accomplished, wether it be in dance, or music, or acting. Damn Yankees is totally challenging me in all aspects and I'm having so much fun with this show. The company is just so flipping proffesional and I can't get enough of it. I'm really thankfull that this is one of my first shows in the "real world", but I am probably getting spoiled rotten coming from Lightoperaworks to this show and then doing another show with L.O.W. Everyone has been so great, but I think most companies in Chicago are like that, which is one of the reasons I'm glad I chose to come/stay here.
In other news: I am at work right now (super busy as you can tell) no tables today. I love my new neighborhood, It is a pain sometimes getting places and I'm also never motivated to go hang out with friends in my spare time but that means I don't spend as much money trying to be social so it all works out.
I've found a new friend in a fellow Columbia student that's in the show with me. We ride together and have soo much fun. I won't use her real name because i want to protect her identity but we shall call her M and she was on a certain reality show years ago and boy does she have some stories to tell. (Aunt Kathy, you would maybe know what show she was on, you sent in an audition tape I believe)
What else....my ipod just died....that makes me sad. I finally kicked my nasty soda and junk food habits but now I'm addicted to starbucks and cheez-its.
I haven't heard from either of my sisters in a while and that is not cool, so i'm putting you on probation...you shall remain there until i hear from you.
That is all. Ta!
