Yes, yes, I'm a horrible person for not updating on the situation in so long. I'm sure you'll all get over it. Life lately has been unbelievably busy! The newest Harry Potter book will be released on the 16th, so our store has been going crazy making preparations for the party. Add to that that two of our girls our on vacation (see: their honeymoons) right now, and I am working waaay too many hours, waaay too many days in a row. My life consists mostly of work, home, sleep, up, work. There is little time for else.
But where there has been small amounts of time, it has been well spent. On Monday night, I actually left work early because we had gotten advance screening passes to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was fantastic. I highly recommend that all of you go and see it. And Tuesday night I was suprisingly only working until 5pm, so Rob picked me up after work and we went to see Shakespere in the Park with Davyd and Myrna and assorted others. Those of you who live in Edmonton will note though, that last night there was a tremendous rain storm, which we were well soaked in before the show. It continued on for most of the show, adding an interesting "rain-on-canvas" soundtrack to the whole thing, and ensuring that all the actors were aware of their projection. It was fairly hilarious though, during one of the big speeches about love Berowne says, "But love, first learned in a lady's eyes, lives not alone immured in the brain; But, with the motion of all elements, courses as swift as thought in every power..." whereupon there was a huge crack of thunder, causing the whole audience to start, and begin clapping. Then, a few moments later, "And when Love speaks, the voice of all the gods make heaven drowsy with the harmony" which was followed by a second large crack of thunder. The actor paused, looked up at the sky, gave God the thumbs up and continued. It was fantastic.
And that has been the highlights of my life lately. Other than that, it's been a lot of being sick, being tired, and being at work. I did make a decision regarding next year, though, for those of you who I don't often talk to in person. I have decided to take the year with Wildfire, and let University wait another year. I'm scared, and nervous but I think that it was the right decision. I'll be leaving at the end of August for Stratford, and I'm not really sure when I'll be back. The first tour runs September to January, which I will definately be on, and then I have the choice of staying on for the second tour from January to May. We shall see.
Anyway, work beckons to me, and I really should shower, dress and eat before I answer its call. Therefore, adieu to you all, and hopefully I won't take so bloody long to update next time.
