The fall

About a week ago, at 8:30am on one of the warmer days we’ve had lately, I was riding my bike to work. While coasting from Mercer onto 5th ave, in the mild weather of that sunny morning, a single amber leaf floated to the ground in front of me. It was the first leaf of my fall, my absolute favorite time of the year in Seattle. I smiled. My body even tingled a little.

Life is going so very well. I’ve been staying up too late, and procrastinating house things, but like usual am staying quite busy with all the projects I have going on. For a few months there, I was working 3 jobs, planning a show, doing hair orders, continuing with my Landmark curriculum, and working on my music show which hasn’t materialized yet. Now, I’m still doing all that minus the day job.

I’ve got a couple paying aerial gigs coming up, one of which is for Bellevue Fashion week tomorrow night at Lincoln Center – I’m expecting it to be pretty swank and fun.

It’s been an interesting experiment, posting a calendar online and asking people to utilize it. Though it’s the most efficient, effective way to run my life right now and ensure I keep in contact with people I want to stay in contact with during this windstorm, it’s not as personal as spending a few minutes going back and forth to set a time for getting together. Part of the process in trying online scheduling of sorts out has been wondering how much I’m bothered by that, vs. the idea that other people might consider me pretenteous and become offended.

I’ve realized, that I really don’t have a problem with it at all – in fact, setting things up the way I have makes me much more accessible to those important to me than otherwise, and allows me less stress around my schedule. The time I spend with others become their time, and stays their time, and I feel MORE connected with them than before. So yay. go go gadget interwebs. :)

Tonight is the big Obsidian meeting open to the entire troupe. Much of the show, probably 60%, is scripted and cast. Now that I have all that in motion, it’s time to build a cast at large to fill out the show and create the atmosphere of the world. I’m so excited – because Obsidian is a character driven show, there is opportunity for everyone involved to be performing. I periodically feel the vision breathing through me, at two months out from opening night. I’m looking forward to what manifests this evening.

In other news, I recently found by a rough-tongued and quite rude awakening that Norda has developed a taste for vagina, and that I have to wear underwear when I sleep.

Oh yeah. I went there.
