Random Musings and Goings On

I haven’t had the time or thoughts to blog as of late. I just finished Playing Bare with Evolution Theatre, and was happily surprised when I got a cheque! It was a small cheque but more then I anticipated.

Now Tim and I get hot and heavy into rehearsals as we direct the Tototoo theatre One acts. I am scared…..the one play we find easier to direct then the other and I am hoping inspiration hits us as we work on the second one.

On to random thoughts. The credit crisis in the US is scary. My friend predicted this last year even so far as saying September 2008 was going to be the month everything unravelled…well guess what????? Lehmann Brothers, Merrill Lynch == this is just the beginning folks. Even my old friend who works at TD Waterhouse said “hold on to your hats!” I am just glad I don’t have that type of investments.

And why if oil per barrel is trading at $97, is the price at the pumps staying the same? Things that make you go HMMMMMM….

On another note of things that make you go hmmmmm, and this some will find a controversial statement however I am allowed my opinion --- the 7th anniversary of September 11th came and went. There was a rally on Parliament Hill for Ottawa 9/11 Truth but apparently it was a sad turn out with only 3000 people. Instead what got major news was the sappy re-enforcing of “the Muslims terrorists did it” even thought there are more and more of us who have researched this topic to many ends with scientific scholars and high profile military folks, and airline pilots who now say it was an Inside job. I truly believe this to be the case. I hope someday the truth comes out. But by then it will be too late. I mean the truth about JFK’s assassination is there to be read, you just have to find it….does anyone care that his own government killed him and pinned it on a patsy named Oswald. NOPE. They turn a blind eye. Does anyone care either that Pearl Harbour was a False Flag and the US wanted and knew it would happen, just so they could get into the war? Same thing will happen in this case. Once the truth comes out it will be so far away that people won’t care to do anything about it. And the sappy two faced vigils or ceremonies will continue with the criminals behind it sad faced and acting as if they were not responsible, that they were part of the American public victimized by “terrorists”. It sickens me to know end that greed of money overcomes preserving human life of your own people. In the mean time, people are more discriminatory against those of the Muslim faith, children, families are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan with no end in sight. All because of money…which is turning down and crashing anyways…so what was the point? OH YA, so the powers that be can chip away at “democracy” and eventually control the population – done so slowly that we accept it as it goes. Don’t think it’s happening…? Think again.

I know there will be those who read the above and say – she’s crazy. Maybe I am, but if you have read the sources I have read from the much respected folks who wrote them and believe it too, you too might change your mind. I will not do the work for you though. But Steven Jones’ papers are a start.

However I am strangely optimistic. You know why? Cause right now everything is ok for me and I want to live and enjoy life one moment at a time. Might as well. This could be as good as it gets. I used to get stressed out about it, but what is the point? Just live moment to moment I say. That is why I am usually in a good mood I think.

But on to even happier topics…..I had a wonderful wedding Anniversary with my best friend and hubby – Tim Ginley. We had a beautiful brunch at Les Fougeres in Chelsea, followed by an afternoon at the Nordik Spa, and a nice dinner at my folks. I thought I was going to fall asleep at my parents house I was so relaxed – but wasn’t sure if it was from the spa or the fact that I had partied at the cast party for Playing Bare until 3am the night before. Maybe it was both. Anyways…so good.

And many projects in the fire. Rehearsing with Tototoo, working FOH for the new Gladstone theatre, play development project with my friend Riley, auditions coming up with Vision Theatre for the January show, and potentially another project I am not at liberty to announce yet…..but it’s exciting if it comes to fruition!!!!!!

I am also really really stoned right now on Sinus meds……I knew there was a reason why I hated taking them. I forget then I take them and wish I hadn’t. Damn you Golden Rod and Rag Weed. Damn you to hell!

Sometimes Happy, Sometimes not so much.....

Some things make me very happy. I just recently opened a show with Evolution theatre called Playing Bare, which has a great cast and crew – so come see it!! And the wonderful show that was The Anger in Ernest and Ernestine was nominated as Best Theatrical Production for Le Prix Golden Cherry (Saw Gallery), as well as my co-actor – the fabulous Riley Stewart. Also, the show I am co-directing with my hubby for Tototoo Theatre is going very well indeed. So theatrically speaking, all is super duper. Except I didn’t get that part at GCTC that I wanted even though I had a second call back (OH SO CLOSE). But that is another story.

On another note: You know what annoys me …Agents….talking FOR famous people without having had asked said famous person if they would like to do something we think they’d be willing to do for a wonderful Charitable cause….I can’t say more on that…but Agents irk me. Someday I will expand on this cryptic paragraph…but not today.

However, some things really really make me very ANGRY. I live in a beautiful, peaceful and quiet neighbourhood called Manor Park. It’s full of greenspace, the RCMP Musical Ride, the Aviation Museum, Rockliffe Airbase, lots of doggie walks, people can cycle on the parkway on Sundays…..HOWEVER, the NCC in its infinite wisdom (sense the sarcasm here) has decided for us that the best place to put the Interprovincial Bridge is right in front of my house in this beautiful area. Are they NUTS!!!!!! They are apparently letting the truckers decide where the best route is for them. Give me a break! What about the thousands of people who live there every day? What about the Long Term Care facility and Montfort Hospital right beside the Avaition Parkway (I can’t see HOW they’d be able to expand there with the hospital banking on one side and big beautiful homes on the other). It’s pure political pressure, not thought or consideration for the residents of this lovely place.

WE are ready to FIGHT! I am so angry right now this is all I can write. ARRRRGGGHHH.
