Another Break, Getting Dark Out

I am about to go on another tour of duty. In the off time, I have done the following things with great joy, and that is not ironic at all:

Cleaned a friend's apartment
Done dishes
Made food
Taken out trash
Driven and navigated

O Lord, O Lord in Heaven, the sweet joy of not being helpless, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord.

I also heard a little kid whine on the plane during sunset: "I don't WAAANT it to get dark out" which made me laugh out loud.

The ship doctors informed me I had an eye infection which a Pennsylvania doctor informed me was actually allergies. When I talked about going on the boat again, I burst into tears outside of a dressing room. This is payback for noticing an Asian lady full on crying talking to her friend's in Filene's in San Francisco with Serpe. She kept moving and we kept finding her. Transitions are emotional! Obvious is obvious! I don't WAAAAAANT it to be annoying! And watch the boat feel like it is where I now belong. O boat.

Highlights of vacation include driving with Serpe from LA to San Fran, meeting Marion's baby (poor conversationalist ZING!), Eve's New Orleans, Heather & Josh's Hospitality Ultimahht, and seeing my parents.

This is a shout out to Graci, the other highlight. We had a fun chat and it gets so good to see people who are not your castmates that it is difficult not to weep with joy, which a normal person would not, could not understand.

Otherwise, in LA, plans got changed a bunch with cronies, which is not a big deal, but add the desperation of seeing people with limited time, and I will happily write you a 50 page treatsie about why LA is an abomination of a disaster.

Also, if you would like a newfound appreciation for American/North American males, go on a cruise ship!!! Work there!!! Where there aren't any hahaha!!! Then come back!!! You will fall in love every 4 seconds!!! Based on polarfleece!!! Except for the North American males who sleep face down with no shoes next to a bowl of food in front of a Rite Aid smack in the middle of the sidewalk, which LA furnished me. I don't WAAAAANT them to be homeless!

For those of you who are not actors, I give you this, a typical email that I get from a casting placement place:
