Some less-thinky stuff.

I am frustrated that our household cannot donate more than a few paltry dollars here or there to help with recovery from Katrina, and saddened to know that there will still be a need when we can do more (and we will). I remain unsurprised by the brutality and the extraordinary grace shown by a lot of people down there, and horrified by the federal government's response.

I have new hair color(s) - burgundy and scarlet. The scarlet is too close in tone to the burgundy to be very noticeable, but it's there and it's pretty. The hair is also very short now, too. Not to fear, hecubot, there will be pictures soon. My nails are also French manicured with black & scarlet. I love DIY beauty.

You Can't Take It With You is going very well, indeed. I haven't enjoyed socializing with a cast so much in a while, and the actual work we do is pretty fun, too.

My grandparents are in the process of moving to Eugene, OR. This means that my parents now have 3, count 'em 3 houses on their property. 4 if you count the cabin, which doesn't have running water. They're selling off one chunk, and will be renting the cabin and my grandparent's old house. This is harder on me than I thought it would be - the divvying up of the land. It's purely a remembrance grab, because I sure as hell do not want to live up there. It's just such a charming place, and chock-full of memories.

I swear to you all, I am staying HOME the week after the marathon. Up until then, I'm booked up with You Can't Take It With You previewing on the 16th and opening on the 23rd, the Ivey Awards on the 26th, Debbie Does Dallas opening the 30th, a marriage celebration for my friends on the 1st, and the marathon on the 2nd. From the 3rd through the 7th, I am staying home and watching everything Netflix sends us, dammit. I'm very glad I have such a full life, but girl needs some down time, too.

I was in You Can't Take it With You in High School!

Really? Who'd you play?

[alexlucard.livejournal.com]

God it was 13 years ago. I played the Insurance or Real Estate agent or what have you in the first act that gets exasperated by the family.

Worried is not the first emotion that comes to mind. Really, there can never be too many juliana pictures in my estimation.

[e-juliana.livejournal.com]

Heh. They'll be coming soon....

So, any chance I can see you next Tuesday or Wednesday late afternoon or evening? It sounds like you will be deep in rehearsals, but could you catch a bite beforehand maybe? I will have a car, so I can go where you are. I would LOVE to see you IRL!

[e-juliana.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, yeah, probably. Drop me a line at e.juliana@gmail.com, and we'll work it out, yeah?

[scrappylj.livejournal.com]

Will do!

I want pictures of the fingernails! (And notes on how you do it; mostly I keep mine clipped short and buffed, but gardening season will soon be over and I'm more comfortable playing with makeup now.)

[e-juliana.livejournal.com]

The fingernails are just using the nail guides from Walgreen's, and patience (which I often lack, and which is why I don't often have French-manicured nails). I love them, though. They're fun.
