Apparently I'm a Spokesperson

I just found out that a blog post I made some time ago is being used as an online advertisement. I’m not sure how that happened, but okaaaay…

An End to a Miserable Week

This was a really trying week. I can’t even begin to explain. Here are some images of Queens from the last few days sans electricity (and with a lot of fires, confusion, paranoia, and uncomfortable and irritable people).   And here are photos from just today, on just my block. I would have taken more [...]

It's worse than they thought…

So the blackout isn’t affecting 2,000 people#–it’s affecting closer to 100,000 people. Whoops!   I found out today that unless you’ve called Con Edison to report power loss, they don’t even know you’re having a problem. Oh. Great.

Please comment! It works now! I promise!

So, apparently comments haven’t been working on the blog since sometime in April. Which is awesome, as I’m sure I’ve lost some readers now. AWESOME. I wondered why I suddenly had zero people leaving happy little messages from time to time. I figured those folks who were reading just didn’t see anything worth talking about. [...]

The Two Rehearsal Mambo

I seem to be something of a fallback option. I’m not complaining, just pointing out a trend. You see, I tend to find myself in positions such as the one I encountered this weekend: replacing an actor who either booked something else, disappeared, or was fired. Let me rewind. Early last week I received a [...]
