Oleanna

My play opens in 6 days. SIX DAYS.
We only have 3 rehearsals left. I feel a little faint when I think about that.
There is so much pressure. SO much pressure. When there are only two of you on the stage? so much pressure.

But I think it's going well. I get moments when even I, always my harshest critic, think I'm pretty okay at this acting business.

Then I read, in the latest Troupe newsletter, this:

Sarah-Rose brings a complexity to Carol that I haven't seen her achieve before. We see naivety and lack of confidence mixed with girlishness, flirtation, and the suggestion of a dangerous side.

SO MUCH PRESSURE.

Ain't nothing but a family thing

Today will be a very very good day.

Sunday
Coffee with Mama between rehearsal and family dinner.


Monday
I was still trying to comprehend this letter. Naturalisation.


Tuesday
These butterflies on the bus were already odd enough before I realised the hidden faces in their wings. Creepy.


Wednesday
All of a sudden I'm seeing London everywhere.


Thursday
I figured since I was getting passport photos I may as well renew my NZ passport as well - it expires in October anyway.


Friday
I've been looking for a copy of this book for a while now (just absent-mindedly of course) so jumped at the chance to get a copy with a cover design I loved.


Saturday
Grey and grey. Tony Bianco boots and Skull and Glossbones by OPI. Getting my outfit together for Craig's cocktail party that night.
