long week…

May 27, 2007 | Filed Under Main, Theater |

I think most people don’t take a full vacation because of how long it takes to catch up when you come back. After five days in Vegas, that is where I found myself last week. And I had my leg iron (my Treo) with me so I could respond to ALL of my email. Since I had nearly 30 emails a day, imagine if I didn’t have that leg up on the situation. The mind boggles…

(As for Vegas – see it once. Otherwise, I can think of better things to do on vacation. Thank god I WASN’T on vacation…)

Then ever night was filled so I was only home once – Monday – and that was to do a bit of re-financing (and watch the Heroes finale – which rocked!) Tuesday was off to my second job. Wednesday I had an audition for this amazing play by Irish playwright Martin McDonagh called The Pillowman (which I didn’t get). Thursday was my boss’s 70th Birthday party with the principals and associates. And Friday was the A.H. PBA Ball – what my wife calls our local prom. Everyone dresses up, drinks a bit, dances to a wedding band and just hangs out together for a while. Then we all get involved in a fun “Chinese auction” (and, of course, the obligatory 50-50). It’s actually a lot of fun and the money goes to a different cause each year. And we get to dress up and get drunk together as a town. Why not?

So now we are at the holiday weekend and now – Sunday – I am free to sit on my ass and watch whatever DVD I want for a few hours. Late last night, I finally got to my NetFlix movie, Stranger Than Fiction – which has sat undisturbed on the table for about three weeks. Pretty good. Not a world beater but charming and I appreciated Will Ferrell’s very understated work in the picture. Plus the music is by Spoon! Plus Maggie Gyllenhaal – who is always just adorable.

On to horror movies!
