Overdue

How many people with blogs begin blog entries by apologizing for not posting sooner or enough? I'd say most. But seriously, I haven't posted anything here since mid-March, and even then, it was just an IM conversation with my dad.

So many things are new in life. I'm going to grad school at NYU beginning in a matter of weeks. One teaching residency came to an end, while another is wrapping up in a matter of days. I'm currently trying to decide if/where I want to teach for the summer and putting together proposals for performances and residencies while I wait for one phase to end and another to begin.

Lately this hasn't been without hurdles because after an amazing, semi-surprise trip to Chicago this past weekend, I came back to New York with flu-like symptoms. Of course this being New York where people have the tendency to panic about things anyway, you better not cough or seem sickly in public or you'll get thrown into quarantine. In fact, I went to my annual women's health exam this week, and the doctor was upset with me for coming in while I'm sick. Then she made me wear a mask and advised I wear it out of the office. (I did not.)

I'm also about to begin a fundraising effort for some upcoming performances. This will all be coming out in an email in a few days, but for now, watch the cheesy rough cut of the video:
