So the show I was in, The Princess Bride, is now over. We ended on Saturday and I have no idea how I survived the whole thing. I got a message from a friend of mine that directs shows. She kinda worked with me in a religious show a few years ago till I decided to drop out, because the show wasn't going in a direction that I wanted to be a part of. I wanted to work with her more, but she moved to Park City. I live an hour away which is kinda hard for me to drive an hour up and an hour back. She offered me this part though and I couldn't refuse it. So I decided to finally give in and give the show a shot. Luckily we had a carpool set up so I didn't have to drive nearly as much as I thought I was going to have to. Only like twice.
Here is the kicker though, the show was going to be a total of 3 weeks. No that isn't just performing time, that is everything! So needless to say things have been insane the last couple weeks. Those three weeks were pretty crazy. Get up, go to work straight from work to rehearsals then the gym. Once the show started I couldn't hit the gym as much cause we got back way too late. The show was fun for the most part. We didn't have a stage because we were invited to perform at a church. So we used their like recreation room thing. Nice place just no stage, so no area to build a nice set so we did with what we had. Which didn't turn out too bad. The cast was overall pretty great. Just a few people I wanted to smack upside the head. The talent was there and we had a great run. Not too many people new about the location so we had some pretty small audiences but overall I enjoyed it. It made me realize I really can perform a lot better then I thought I could. We had literally 9 days to learn all our lines cues and what we were supposed to be doing on stage. That was kinda insane. I learned all my lines the best I could but still had my script with me for a few nights backstage.
The show ended last Saturday and man what a crazy day that was. We had 2 performances on each of the Saturdays that we did so basically we just stayed up there all day. Kinda sucked but it was fun. We saw Harry Potter the first time and the second one we just walked around Park City some. The last show while it was an amazing feeling to be done was bittersweet. I made some pretty good friends and I always love performing no matter how stressful it tends to always be. I just like being on the stage. It's way too much fun. It is nice to have some time to myself again though. Although I feel like it's way too much time sometimes lol. It does give me time to get back into my routine of going to the work then going to the gym and then whatever else happens after that. I cleaned the fish and gecko tanks and bought a new one to set up for some chameleons. I have two female and a male on the geckos and they have quite a few eggs when they breed and they keep laying for up to six weeks after the first batch of eggs, so I could probably start up a little breeding business and sell the babies to local pet shops. They would probably go for around 60 bucks a baby which is pretty awesome. I added some new fish to the tank as well yesterday. They are called African Moony fish, and are a pretty awesome addition to the tank.
I finally got everything set up in my new place as well. I don't know if I mentioned before but I moved. I know I only lived in my last place for a little more then 7 months, but it was time to get out. The guys were great but there was a lot of things going on with that house that I just didn't agree with o appreciate very much. Most of them having to do with the fact that I wasn't told anything wrong about the place when I moved in. Most of the utilities were backed up and were shut off regularly and I did my best to help the lease help pay for those but he kept not paying for them and letting them get shut off, then paying enough to get them turned back on for a little while again. Got really annoying, especially with animals that kinda require electricity for their tank to function. The roof above my bed also leaked and after many times of trying to get him to fix the problem o just stop taking a bath had failed I just got sick of it. The straw that broke the camels back came after he decided to make his movie in our front yard. All the other roommates asked him not to, but he did anyways. The movie looked cool, but it made our yard look like a waste dump. One thing with this guy is he takes forever to actually clean things up. O gets us to try and do it. I woke up one morning to yelling outside my door and went out to see this guy freaking out. The landlord had just dropped by saw the yard got really mad and decided he was giving us 3 days to move out. I have never been evicted before and wasn't to happy that I was being kicked out cause someone else was being a moron. So I started looking. Long story short we ended up getting till the end of the month and then we didn't have to leave if we didn't want to. I still decided to leave and began looking for places to live, preferable one that I could have all to myself. I'm tired of living with people lol.
I found a place after looking at a ton of them and started the move. Then got put in the show and the move was complicated much. I have finally gotten everything I need in the place minus a couch o two, now I just have to get rid of all these boxes that I have lying around. I really like the place. It's a lot of fun and really nice. Way too big for what I need but hey I love the extra room. It's a two bedroom one bathroom basement place and the landlords are really nice. I like them a lot.
Well I'm just rambling on again, but in the end it's nice to have some free time to be able to just relax. Kinda. I have been going hard for the last few months and it's nice to do just whatever I want and not have to worry about being places at certain times. I will be performing on Thursday with the Nashville Tribute Band and I really am looking forward to it. It's gonna be a lot of fun. Later everyone!
