I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oooh. You got to study with Linklater? Sweet.

Seriously sweet. I use her vocal ladder for my personal warm-ups and have placed my voice for different characters in different places using that technique. Also, I've taught it to high school students in a voice workshop. That is so cool that you got to study with her.

Very impressed that Nora studied with Linklater.

Ooh, I should lead off with that more often! She was an amazingly funny, no-nonsense, abrupt, intense woman and an excellent teacher. The second semester I had with her the class did a collaborative acting project based on the work of Carol Gilligan. Really great. I still have that script. I remember I read from the first Anastasia Krupnik book.

Linklater's explanation of the integration of movement-voice- acting made so much sense to me. It really made the entire process so organic.

Man, I miss acting.

Ebert's one is better than my ex's, of course G. didn't really have a voice to reconstruct or Ebert's$$$. Still, go, Ebert!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I should really stop letting it get to me, but if ONE MORE PERSON on FB defriends me for NO EFFING REASON, I am going to go ape-shit in my status line.

It's really dumb, and the people who do it suck a big one, but jeebus christmas it gets tiresome.

Also, she taught freshman acting, which was great. We were the first class that came up through her acting program/progression so we were sort of the guinea pigs.

She wanted to be sure that we all were indoctrinated with the basic building blocks of her technique.

Me, too. I love her work and am very jealous you got to study with her.

Our wings are not tired.

FB defriends me for NO EFFING REASON, I am going to go ape-shit in my status line.

How do you know? I went into my son's account and defriended my parents and sisters because I was embarrassed on his behalf. I was hoping they thought he wasn't posting stuff so much anymore, or just didn't notice.

How do you know about it? The only person I have ever defriended had, as her profile picture a photo of her and a woman I loathe. I just didn't want to look at that other woman, so I defriended.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

OK, not going into the office today. Just walking back and forth across my apartment is hurting too much. If I really had to, I could force myself to work through this, but I don't have anything scheduled today that can't wait until tomorrow.
