enteleinI slept the sleep of the totally deserving. The coolness of the night, the layers of blankets, the two cats snuggling up to me as if I were a heating blanket or bed iron, the heaviness of my eyes ...
I slept harder than I have in some days. It was glorious sleep. Granted, I was still up by 8 AM or so, but I think I am finally on the sleep deprivation mend. Irrational thoughts fluttering through my brain the night before are all but banished today. The kitchen is bright with reflected sunshine, and the dishes are washed. I may tackle the living room next.
I am addressing cards for the play. I am not totally sure who to send them to. I am enthusiastic about the production in that I think it's going well, and it's a relevant play for right now, in some ways, but it's not exactly happy and actively engaging and loads of entertainment. There are sections that seem very dark, and even more parts that require the audience member to really think about what they're hearing. The protagonist (if you could call him that) is a moral relativist, and it's sometimes very hard to listen to the script and not feel any sort of hope for the future, if people continue to act as he does.
I'm getting ahead of myself. At any rate, I only have a few more blank cards right now, and then I can maybe make a page over at Glitter, so anyone can take a look at it.
The song I sing is coming along well. The set is very nice and abstract. The other actors, for the most part, are kicking some serious ass in things that were shaky a couple of days ago. I got a goodly chunk of positive glowing notes about my work yesterday from the director. It was so nice to hear! She's noticing what I am doing, but only after she thinks about it - the integrity is there, she says, and then later she might realize I was trying something new, or experimenting with where the character was going ...
It seems odd, and interesting to me that all the method acting shit I went through at the ages of 20 and 21 are just now coming to fruition with my work on the stage at age 30. It's always made sense to me, but now it's settled in my body like an emotional logic, a set of pathways that seem natural and obliging.
