OH OH, IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN...

So school is just around the corner so I have the next two days to sort of get it together and stop going to bed at 4 in the morning. I am ready to start. Rehearsals for Orpheus start on Wednesday and even though I only have one scene I may wind up going to a lot of unnecessary rehearsals (which I hate but it's life so what can I do?) so I think I am going to buy one of those portable DVD players as I have just become a member of Netflix - we'll see if I like it or not.

I got to celebrate my friend Tyler's 23rd Birthday on Saturday night. I took him to Estampas Peruanas which is a wonderful Peruvian restaurant here in Redwood City and then we went to see a movie. We ended up seeing Juno because he hadn't seen it yet and I loved it so much I didn't mind seeing it a second time.

The Golden Globes didn't air tonight and I was sad. I usually love watching these awards because I look forward to the acceptance speeches. As an actor, it is sometimes inspiring to hear their stories of triumph. I guess I may have to go see Sweeney Todd again and be more open to it as everywhere I go people are raving about it and it just won the Golden Globe for Best Musical or Comedy and earned Johnny Depp his first major award for the title role...could Oscar be beckoning? I was thrilled to hear that Glenn Close won for her role in Damages - my favorite new drama of the year.

Okay not much else to report - I'll be seeing the final dress rehearsal of "Third" at TheatreWorks which features Craig Marker - he is a fantastic actor and I am looking forward in seeing the show. I didn't really care for The Sisters Rosensweig so we'll see what I think of this play (which would be Wendy Wasserstein's last play before her death.)

Okay kids, have a great week.

Cheers

Martin
