new things happening

2009

Hello all you people out there
I just thought it a good time to update on my little life here in Chicago- everything is goin fine- it is a frozen tundra up here- ugh hold on.........
..............that was my retrieving my roommates cat from the bathtub where it likes to go in there and meow and flop around and be supremely annoying
- as we can all still see i am back to where i was a year ago with my cat/roommate troubles
I got a second job at a really cool tea store that i like- its like, an hour and a half away but i don't mind the commute so its all good.
I'm starting a new show in April where I will be a swing which is cool because it means I'm understudying for nine parts in the male ensemble- I won't actually be in the show but I do get to go on a couple of times which means more money and some EMC points- i think.
anywho not much else- working and trying to stay warm

updated christmas list

dont know what to get your favorite neighborhood Alex? heres a few more ideas
Lost season 4
Mamma Mia dvd
Wicked Tickets

my life: is busy and stressfull and fullfilling and I have an interview tomorrow for a much needed second (or third if you count my acting gigs) job. I also have a callback for a really cool tap show called Crazy For You on tuesday. Wish me luck on all these things

Its that time of year again

The time where i post my first draft of my Christmas List
(i would have done it long ago but i didn't have any boring classes to sit through, that's where i would normally do it)
For those of you who don't know or forgot I am spending all the major holidays in Chicago-with myself. I'm doing a show that has performances on the days around Christmas and New Years so I'll be here.
-A Dance class card at Visceral Dance Studios, or Joel Hall, of Lou Conte
-a C.D. I really like the Vince Guaraldi Trio- they are the guys who do the peanuts music (charlie Brown) but i already have thier charlie brown christmas cd. I'm really into classical and instrumental music lately so that might be cool
-DVD's Babes in Toyland(the one i used to watch all the time when i was a kid with annette Funnicello) -Matthew Bourne's swan lake- or anything by him(they are Ballet's)
-Tix to a Ballet here at the lyric Opera House
-Tix to West Side Story on Broadway
-Sewing Machine (and kit/box thingy doesn't need to be new)
- a really big peice of canvas for painting on and stuff (maybe some paints too)
The Things I know I won't be getting for sure but am asking for anyway are:
-a bike (a racing one with lots of gears) and Good Lock
-a New Computer (a Mac)
Stocking Stuffer Ideas:
-Starbucks Gift Cards,
-pens and pencils are always fun
-a cool snowglobe for my collection ( i have two now)
-money

Now I know that looks like a lot and I am aware that i seem like the most spoiledest brat ever but it's so people can know what i want should they decide to get me something.
As for me- well i'm hangin in there. Damn Yankees if over and it was such a great experiance it's kind of sad to be done with such a great cast and group of people- we really were a family every weekend for a couple of months. I have a few video's so i'll try to put those up if i can remember. Still love my apartment although it's super far away- i'm pretty much used to leaving an hour before work and two hours before rehearsal so i'm constantly getting to places 15 to 30 minutes earlier than i need to but i like it like that. The Music Man is gonna be a really good show I'm working with some amazing people ranging from like, 7 year olds to 60+ ( i don't really know how old some of them are)
anywhoo I always have a million things to talk about and then i get on here and can't think of a single thing to write- oh well.
Twilight the movie is coming out next week and i cannot wait- if you haven't read the books yet you need to pick them up now- although i should say they aren't for everyone( mom) basically if you liked Harry Potter you'll love Twilight.
