Music to my ears

I managed to go see two different concerts this Christmas, which, considering how busy I've been, is quite the accomplishment. I needed it, though--I needed to go see something that I wasn't involved in and that I could just sit back and watch. Centre Street did their show a week and a half ago, the weekend after Halo ran, and I got to see that, and then tonight I went to Foothills Lutheran's cantata. Both were excellent, and I'm still excited from that.

I also get tomorrow afternoon and Friday off work--it's kind of unexpected, although I've known about it since last Friday. So... not last minute, but I didn't know until then. I'm glad, though--it's good to have that extra time to get things done before Christmas. Before Saturday, especially. There just hasn't been the time lately--I even had to send my laundry home with Mom after a rehearsal, because the machines in my complex are only open from 9-9, and I was away from the house from at least 7-10 most days, so I had literally not had the chance to do laundry in almost three weeks.

And... what else? The Christmas show is over, which is good. As much as I wasn't ready for Halo to be over, I was ready for this one to be finished. It was good, but two tech weeks in a row was a lot. A lot. And now it's Christmas Eve stuff, but that's a lot less work than a big show--it's just a couple of rehearsals this week, and then three services on Christmas Eve, and the scene itself is just a couple of minutes long.

Anyway. I'm going to bed. I don't get to sleep in tomorrow morning--that doesn't happen until Friday.

Picspam linkage!

Picspam links!

I've got a Christmas picspam and a Halo picspam up, so take a look at those.

Also. An album of Halo pics--more than just what's in the lj entry.

And... saving the best for last...

I've finally gotten my act together and organized all my pictures from the past year and a half into albums. They're all here, tagged, labeled, and sorted, so check them out--and make sure you hit the second page, too, since there are more than just the 8 galleries you see on the first page. I have to finish tagging the albums from Jen's visit to New York last year, and last spring, but at least they're all in the galleries and organized by date/event to an extent. (Oh, and the "photo albums" link on the side menu goes there now, instead of to my photobucket account.)

Christmastime is here...

Wow. I did not mean to take this long to update this particular blog. I really can't do more than one blog at a time, can I? Heh.

Hmmm. Halo's over. It was a fantastic run, and for my first show back onstage in several years, it was amazing. I loved working with Wanda (the director) and Gerry (my scene partner)--and the rest of the cast and crew, too, of course.

Still temping. New office. Slower. That's nice. I've got more time to catch up on random online things.

The church's Christmas show opens on Friday, so if you're not coming to that... you should be! Leave a comment if you want more info.

Kim and I got the house ready for our tree last night. We cleaned it, rearranged some furniture, and got out the ornaments, and then I bought the tree on my lunch break today. So now, I go to the set-building at the church tonight with a tree strapped to the top of my car. I'll post pictures once everything's decorated.

And, if you're a Scrubs fan, this is hilarious. Enjoy!
