It seems that no one else shares my hatred of toilet seat covers or my propensity to injure myself spectacularly while asleep. However, I stand by my opinions and can only hope that I don’t get a visitation of Giant Bugs From Space or whatever it was that caused the lovely black bruise and several-inch long scratch on my leg on Wednesday night any time soon.

This weekend promises to be a good one. The weather for the last few days in New York has been glorious – exactly the kind of summer weather I long for but oh so rarely get. Low humidity, blue skies and fluffy clouds, warm enough for sandals but not so hot that you’re miserable. I’ve been stuck inside for most of the week at my temp job, but I’ll be hosting the pub crawl tomorrow so I will be able to enjoy the lovely afternoon, followed by an evening at the theatre. Luckily, it’s outdoor theatre so yet more summer enjoyment accompanied by food and some sneaky wine. Vince and I are going to see The Seagull, produced by the fabulous Hudson Warehouse (who were recently featured on NY1!) and I’m looking forward to it immensely. Sunday is half work, half pampering – I’m supporting a big youth meeting at my buddhist centre, then I’m off to get my hair cut.

I haven’t had much going on, acting-wise, for a while now, but these things always seem to come and go in cycles. As I’m away for two weeks in the very near future (!!!), it’s hard to submit for much right now because I’ll be unavailable for filming. However, I decided to take the opportunity to do a couple of classes to avoid the slump. I also started re-reading Stanislavski and I’m attempting to read at least one play a month, with a view to finding some good monologues for auditions (something I have always hated and avoided doing as much as possible). I have really missed doing theatre of late, and my reasoning is that if I’m missing it, I should do some. It’s usually helpful to have something to audition with.
