So I'm doing this musical about Kim Jong Il

My life is so hilarious.

And I just thought I was moody...

A little blue pill called ABILIFY has changed me for the better. Thank you, doctors and drug developers everywhere! GOD BLESS YOU.

It's been a while since I've posted. My hair is long again. School is almost OVER, thank Christ.

My balls itch, man!

Dig Deep, Drop your Shit, and Try Harder

After not acting, aside from scene work in classes, for over a year, I am extremely intimidated by the magnitude of the two roles I'm presently preparing for, Chonen in A Dybbuk, and Mozart in Amadeus. More Mozart than Chonen, but both require a shitload of research. It's a good exercise in self-discipline: prepare, BREATHE, research, analyze, memorize, BREATHE, move, link this work, more research, analyze, memorize...and don't forget to have fun.

God, I have my work cut out for me.

I'd Go Down on Edna St. Vincent Milay

If

1) I was straight
2) I had a few good drinks.

MINDFUL of you the sodden earth in spring,
And all the flowers that in the springtime grow,
And dusty roads, and thistles, and the slow
Rising of the round moon, all throats that sing
The summer through, and each departing wing,
And all the nests that the bared branches show,
And all winds that in any weather blow,
And all the storms that the four seasons bring.

You go no more on your exultant feet
Up paths that only mist and morning knew,
Or watch the wind, or listen to the beat
Of a bird’s wings too high in air to view,—
But you were something more than young and sweet
And fair,—and the long year remembers you.

A Ditty on the Boston Burlesque Expo

I saw an aged woman
light her breats ablaze
Shimmy, shimmy
Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy
Bringing down the house

Drinking Precautions!

On the rare occasion that you see me drunk:

3. Do not let me near a piano, because I will immediately start playing Stephen Sondheim's "The Ladies who Lunch."

2. Do not mention "Dreamgirls," because I will immediately start singing "I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" as my inner black woman, named LaFonda. LaFonda has previously attempted to embrace many other African American Standards to the amazement of all, and the amusement of none.

1. Take my telephone away from me. My prank phone call schtick is wearing thin, and I think QVC is onto me.

God Does Not Want Miles to Have Sex, However the Universe is On His Side

As a firm believer in the principle of "everything happens for a reason," I can't help but feel that there is a strategy that the Higher Powers (e.g., God, Bhudda, Krishna, Ra, Mohammed, The Flying Spaghetti Monster, Zeus) have for my destiny.

Right now, a burlesque dancer named Satan's Angel is going to show me how to make pasties.

I love my life. The universe is on my side, and I do have faith.

Remember That Time I Dropped Out of School to Become a Mime?

Mimes kill conversation.

Oh, lord, what am I doing...

Piss Broke and Pooped!

Exactly what the title says.

I'm exhausted. I've taken on way too much stuff, and my energy is just...blah. But I did see a couple good shows this week. Saw "Next to Normal," which has a killer first act and a second act that needs a bit of re-tooling/shaping up, but it's very good. And also saw "Sunday in the Park with George," which was beautiful in every sense of the word. The show is not my favorite, because it's so dependent on the audience's intelligence that it almost makes my brain hurt. But this production was so much clearer than others I have seen. Pretty much as perfect as it will ever get.

And the designs were out of this WORLD incredible.

My acting class in the city is fun, but I don't know how much more I can afford. I might have to say good bye to it for now, because I need to buy my text books still...

Oy gevalt.

I need a nap now. I played services at The First Church of Christ, Scientist this morning.

I didn't know the Messiah had a High-ah degree.

Toodles for now.

Love,
Miles
