Two extremes

[monkeybard]

I know that I don't really want to be bored or anything like that, but is it too much to ask to be on an even keel?  See, the universe has seen fit lately to give me news that is either FANTASTIC or SHITTY, and sometimes both at once.  Thanksverymuchnotatall.  There's been very little new that is in between.

Case in point:
I still haven't found an editor whose style works with mine and it seems likely I won't at my current publisher.
I just got the lead in Proof at one of my fave local theatres and with one of my fave directors, and I get to work with a friend I'm very excited to work with.

Case in point:
Two friends were up for the same job.  (You see where this one goes, right?)

Case in point:
The cat has decided that the entryway is her new litterbox.
She's apparently not ill in any new way, just stubborn and crotchety.

See what I mean?  So, universe, if you're listening, which I'm sure you're not but what the hell, can we please have a little less of the teetertotter action for a while?  Or, heck, how about just good stuff for the next long while?  That'd be swell.

Geez...! You apparently drew the short straw in the "I-am-the-Universe's-plaything" sweepstakes. Opposites are mutually necessary and all that - but do you have to have them at the same time?!?

(On the up side, at least it didn't snow again last night.)

Small favors, yes: I am glad there's no new snow.

congrats on being cast!! that's awesome, and an amazing roll. :) is this at Renton Civic with Gregory?

[monkeybard]

Thanks, and yes it is! It could only be better if the theatre were closer to my house, but at least Ashley and I can carpool.
