long time no update...

No I figured I should get my act together and update everyone on my life.

Let's see... well, my life is basically just school right now, so I'll talk about that.

Two guys are thinking about making a tv series at Randolph. They don't know exactly if it's going to be more of a drama or more reality-based, but either way we studens will play characters that are closely based on ourselves, and it will most likely be part scripted and part just us doing what we do. Right now it's just in the beginning stages, and we have a meeting about it tommorrow to find out more details. Sometime next week, I think Thursday/Friday, they'll be filming stuff to put together a promo episode so they have something to pitch to different networks. They don't know when the show will be filmed or when it will be aired if it does end up happening, nor do they know which network will take it, but they'll be pitching it to many (including HBO!). I'll let you know when I have more details.

Besides that, our 4th term Cabaret is starting to look really, really good. We're doing 'In Dreams' from Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, and a movement piece to 'Hedwig's Theme' from Harry Potter, among many other cool things. Jeffrey (the musical director) wants as many different kinds of songs (genre/nationality/language etc) which fit the theme that we can find, so everyone brought songs in today and he took those he and Linda (co-director, focused more on dance) liked. They're deciding which songs they'll do, and I hope they'll let us know at least which ones they've picked if not who is singing them, tommorrow.

I did my monologue in Scene Study yesterday and actually left my teacher, Greg Schneider, speechless, along with the rest of my class. That was a pretty damn amazing feeling...

Greg gave us an assignment to find a completely new monologue and present it next week. Eek! I'm going to the reference library tommorrow in my 3 hour break, and hopefully I'll find something. It has to be from a Canadian playwright, which limits things a little bit. But there are some f-ing amazing Canadian playwrights so there's no lack of good material; I just need to read a bunch of plays to find one that suits me but still challenges me enough to be worth my time.

My singing is getting better by leaps and bounds, which makes me very, very happy.


As for my life outside of school... well, I don't really have one. So that's that. :P
