Doctor My Eyes

Well it's not so serious, but my eyes hurt. This quarter has been a little butt kicker largely because of the lack of structure. However Nest rehearsals have been pretty kooky. We opened last Friday, but had a REHEARSAL on Tuesday. We filmed the show for archival purposes last night and once we got to the final movement of the show (there are 16 scenes and what the playwright Bash calls 3 Movements) I literally leaned against the back wall and shut my eyes. It was a nice little release for them.

Speaking of hurting, my right calf now has a bit of discomfort. This is the exact spot that strained in 2005 during Women and War, but it's on the OTHER leg. I am trying not to freak out and elevated it when I got home and put a bag of frozen peas and carrots right below by gastrocnemius while I sat on the couch last night wasting time on facebook.
I just reviewed my to-do list below and there has not been much progress. I did pass the Alice in Wonderland stuff on to Tim, but nothing new with hip hop. And there should be a little movement on this especially since yesterday I received a request to teach a second section for BOTH summer sessions.

Gosh, I am going to be in freaky good shape!

As part of our final CORE project on identity, we decided to take Annie Leibowitz inspired photos. My initial thought was to dress as a rockstar, but I realized that did not feel right. I called Angela and she said I need to be in motion and it should be my full body. With my love for getting dirty and my love for the water, I decided to do the photoshoot in a shallow fountain right outside the Davis Humanities Institute. You cannot see, but it's in a beautiful courtyard. This is not the selected shot, but one that my buddy Tony liked the best. Moments before I said that I just peed in the fountain. Needless to say, I did not, but the moment was very funny. And it took a minute or so for all of us to recover. Oooh, maybe I can put this in my thesis on comedy...
