This was absolutely fantastic. It has the actor describing his hesitation and fears of taking the role of Richard and then details the process of finding both the character and play.

I recently remembered the existence of girl walk // all day. It’s a film following a girl (and others) dancing around New York City to the music from Girl Talk album All Day. It’s a lot of fun and I enjoy it.

It is fun to see how the people react. Some make eye contact, some pretend the dancer(s) do not exist. Some join in, some half-heartedly, some all in.

Loads of fun.

I finished my third book of the year. I’m hoping this is harbinger of the end of the reading drought.

My third attempt at specific cookie recipe turned out really well.

This made me happy. And I may have over indulged. But I regret nothing.

Greetings.

I’ve never done this before and I don’t know what I’m doing, but let’s experiment for a bit and how it goes.
