  • New Layout

    The old theme I had was getting a little well, old. So I poked around the xanga theme site (Which is rather obnoxious, btw. Because the themes aren't categorized, you have to refresh the page to see another random 8 or 10 themes, and you often get duplicates.) and found this one. I had to do a fair amount of fiddling, including getting a different theme for a bit, to figure out how to get the custom module in the footer. I had had two Josh Turner music videos there but I'd gotten rather bored with them. I wanted to keep music on there but a playlist was more to my taste. Hence the seeqpod playlist. I will probably add more music later but right now it has three Frank Sinatra songs and three Michael Buble songs.

    I know we're really only into our second real week of practice but I'm having some trouble with my character. Sir Toby is just about the only character I can't figure out. He's a drunk! How hard can he be? You say. Yes, he's a drunk but he's a dignified drunk. An oximoron, I know, but it's true. I guess part of the reason I'm having trouble is I thought I'd had him figured out then yesterday Jan goes and says just about everything I thought was wrong. Toby is a much more complex character. Toby is the ring leader but he needs Maria to, to...I'm not exactly sure why he needs Maria, he just does. It's also difficult to adjust to the role. Toby was not the role I wanted or expected at all. I don't begrudge the girl who got the part I wanted, set my heart on and was expected to get. She seriously deserved it. She's an amazingly talented actress and I'm happy for her but Toby was not on my list of possible roles.
    No advice, please. I would like to figure Toby out myself. As difficult as it might be.

    Mmmmm.... yeah, surprisingly enough I know exactly what you mean by that. :P Don't worry, once you figure it out, you are going to be the most amazing Sir Toby in the history of Sir Tobys. :)

    Nice new layout.  I especially like the header graphic.

    I wish you well with the figuring out.  I haven't read the script yet, but now you've got me curious.

    New theme is cool.  Mmm.... very nice.

    You'll figure it out.  Haven't you only been on stage like... 3 times?  I was confused since we started because Feste insults Viola, and I finally got it this evening.  I was like... WAIT! I GET IT NOW!!!  I scared my cat.  Haha!   You'll be happy again when we get to do our drunk scene.
