Adventures in Wonderland....

At last an update!

Many things have happened recently! Some of you are up to date...and for those who are NOT - read on!

Bruce and I have packed up the warehouse space and moved everything to a new pad - formerly Peter Oldring's place! It's a wonderful studio apartment that will provide us the luxury of WINDOWS! (we've been living without natural light for almost two years....this may explain our palour, the dark circles and our unquenchable thirst for the blood of virgins....hard to find in Toronto!)

We're also planning our wedding....but I think I mentioned that before.....I did, didn't I? Oh -God....am I turning into ONE OF THOSE BRIDES??!!! Shit! Whatever. We will be tying the knot at the Loose Moose Theatre Company, on stage, in April. I'm thrilled to bits that Dennis agreed to let us have the theatre. Loose Moose is more my home that Rundlehorn Drive was - so it's only fitting.

I am NOT in Calgary rehearsing The Miracle Worker as I was meant to be at this time. I am instead out in Vancouver living out the actor's lottery winning of being cast in a new series! The show is called: "Alice, I Think" - based on a book by the same name by BC author Susan Juby. The book is funny, the TV scripts are funny...and, God willing, I will also be funny in the role of Alice's crazy-hippy-environmentalist Mom! Yes - I'm playing the mother of a 15 year old girl and a 10 year old boy.....The blow that this casting has dealt to my ego has been softened by the fact that I'm making some good coin doing what I LOVE! I am seriously grateful.....and have also been so stressed/excited about this new adventure that I woke up on my third day here with "torticolis"....Which basicly means that I CAN'T MOVE MY NECK, OR LEFT SHOULDER. ( this is a VAST improvement over the projectile vomitting that I suffered from as a child whenever I got stressed about BIG things!) I took myself into Emergency hoping they could inject some sort of relaxing medicinal into my rock hard muscles...and came away with a prescription for all sorts of wonderful "do not operate heavy machinery" drugs. I've been high ever since.....

With that - I will sign off.....The drugs are too powerful to fight....I'm going to give into this bilssful detachment and go lay down on one of the beds in my hotel room.....WHY are there TWO double beds in hotel rooms? A bit creepy don't you think?
