*taps on glass* Anyone still reading this?

Yes, I am alive and well, and now with internet again. *hugs DSL modem* I went for what, six days without checking my email? That hasn't happened in, uh, years. Needless to say I was getting rather antsy, but all is now well in the house of Laura and Corrie.

So what's happened? Well, I've started my job at the Wolly Mammoth theatre, and it's been a real learning experience. It's hard work, and in a lot of ways has brought back my interest in theatre. I guess over the last few years I kind of felt like I had done everything there was to do with lighting, but then I'm running board for this awesome designer, Colin, and he's doing things with the Express that I didn't know existed. Really inspiring, and showed me that there is more to learn. So I'm having fun, working in the big city, and becoming accostumed to this life. So far, so good.

I also got the job with Corrie's company, so I start with them in a little over a week once we get out of tech rehearsals in DC. So that will also be fun, and hopefully will bring in some more money.

I'm ALMOST settled in now...I got my room painted over the weekend, but still haven't quite finished unpacking due to the unfortunate loss of my computer desk hardware. I have no clue where it is. I'm gonna look for it more this weekend, but I'm at the point of saying fuck it and throwing it out. Half of the desk desintegrated already just in travel. I'm pretty damned pissed about it because it's a kick ass desk and nothing else will fit as well as it was going to, nor do I really wanna drop that much money on something else.

Corrie is the most awesome roommate ever, but you guys already knew that. We've still been doing our 104 thing, just haven't been able to update that in awhile either. I think our best excursion over the last two weeks was "secret agent day" We decided to dress all in black and stage a drop-off at a local bar we don't frequent. So I go in first, carrying my black leather bag and wearing sunglasses (at 9 at night) and sit down and don't talk to anyone or order anything. She comes in a few minutes later. Sits down, we don't talk at all, we just order one beer. At this point, people are starting to look over at us. Finally, I finish my beer, look at her and nod once, and leave without the bag. As soon as I leave she dives into the bag as if checking to see if everything is there, then slams down some money on the table and bolts. You know those people freaked out, lmao. It was highly awesome, so we went down the street to our favorite pub and enjoyed the rest of the evening. Rock on.

Ok, I think that's enough for one night. Got lots more shit to check on...
