My first journal post since '07. Not that anyone much cares, but whatever, I'm doing it anyway.

Hi! Just thought I'd give y'all a little update on things in my life.

I'm still doing theatre. Although my focus over the last many years has been musical theatre, I'm trying to branch out into straight theatre as well. Musical theatre will always be my true love, of course. But some straight work on the side might not be such a bad thing.

I've done two professional auditions (neither of which turned up callbacks). So far it's been "Spring Awakening" and "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark." I'm sure I'll look back at this and go "OH MAN! I remember those. Wow that was a long time ago."

I'm currently with Stars Talent Agency in San Francisco, and they're representing me for commercial work, among other things (again, several auditions and nothing yet. Oh, the life of an actor). It's pretty cool to go in on a days notice and tell some guy behind a camera what I like to do in my spare time, even if it's ultimately a bust.

I'm attending community college at the moment working for my AA degree. From there I plan to transfer to a 4-year as a junior and get a BFA in theatre. We'll see how that plays out.

And, of course, on the side I take my photos with the point-and-shoots we have lying around my house. My personal PaS broke a little while ago so I've been using my sisters or my fathers when I need to. I'm saving up for a swanky new Canon 40D (and by saving up I mean wishing I had the money for one). We'll see when that comes in.

And to make the very scarce money I do, I work as a waiter at a local Cabaret theatre. It's pretty cool. Free soda, free shows, and tips. Oh yeah. It's pretty nice.

And other than that, there's not much to tell. It'll probably be another near-3 years before I check in again with a journal, so until then, take care!
