number twenty-seven.

Well, it's the 4th of October and I had huge plans to join in with blogtoberfest, however with the show just finished I've only been able to get on my computer now, four days late. Hmmm, so I figure I'll just try and start posting more often than I have been.

Mourning Becomes Electra just closed last night, we performed 11 shows in 12 days, a show which is 4 hours long including two intervals and of that four hours I was on stage for 3 and a half of them. We finished the show around 11.30 each night and by the time I got home it was between 12.30 and 2am, depending on if I went to The House or not, I had a fantastic time, really, I worked with some amazing people, met some amazing people, and got some of the best acting training and experience I've had in my life. I also got amazing feedback which has helped me gain a bit more confidence in my own ability to act, I may think of auditioning for drama schools at the end of next year.

So after the show last night we had a carpet picnic and then bumped the show out, this basically means cleaning out the space, taking apart the set, de-rigging the lighting grid, painting the floor and cleaning the office and the dressing room. this takes around 4 to 6 hours and is always done after the show when everyone's tired as another show needed to bump in the next day. Bump outs are always fun, despite being incredibly hard work. After this was of course the afterparty which was at The Jag, it was an absolute blast. We all got very drink and very stoned, sang, danced, smoked, and talked til 6am this morning, once people started to pass out I drove a couple of them home and then went to bed myself and slept for 8 hours.

And so now it's the end of a six week saga that has taken over my life and consumed me completely, what am I going to do with my time now? Well that's a good question.

So far my plans are:

- find a better job
- craft it up
- write more
- finish my assignments
- catch up with friends
- spend some time with friends
- go to more gigs
- spend more time out and having adventures

OK that's all for now.

Peace out, yo.
