New guy

K had her baby tonight. He’s precious, and everyone’s doing well. While I don’t think that event was the instigating factor, I got behind in writing here at the same time. I’m catching up, keeping to my post for every day until I can get back into a post on every day. New baby is all about […]

Building confidences

We’re doing three rounds in a row of everybody-sings voice class sessions (rather than a handful of people doing coaching sessions), and today was the second round (Friday was the first). Both of mine have gone pretty well, for me, I think. I’m feeling less breathlessly nervous, giving the instructor the ability to critique acting instead of […]

Can’t remember what I read

Longer form and more character

We’re working on long form concepts in improv class, and tonight was a series of exercises that challenged us to claim and stick to a point of view. I continue to feel pretty good about the work I’m doing in class, and I think I’m getting better at coming up with characters with a decent […]

Meeting the doctor

I took Kuiper to the vet today to get him acquainted with the office and make sure he’s as fit as he seems after his plane flights last week. He did great, and we followed up with a visit to work so the office crew could meet him. Naturally, he piddled on the floor of […]
