This year I dressed up as Frida Kahlo. It isn't evident in the flash here, but I promise I did smear on eyebrow-and-upper-lip makeup. On Friday night I had a fantastic time with my friends, who were remarkably creative in their costumes, which included Rainbow Brite, Julius Casear and Black-and-White Film Stars. See my album of Halloween pictures here!
What are you dressing up as this year?
This past weekend I traveled to Washington D.C. to attend the wedding of one Cynthia Jaworski, my childhood best friend, whose bridal bouquet is seen above. It was an incredibly classy, smooth, elegant wedding; and I had a wonderful time - not least because I got to see so many old friends! Cindy, Alex, Mike, Jen, Emily - the whole Annville-Cleona contingent reunited. Cindy made sure we were a part of it: Alex, Mike and I gave the readings at the ceremony, and Emily sang a silvery aria. It was truly a lovely night. You can see all my pictures from it here!
Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.
But as for prophecies, they will come to an end.
As for tongues, they will cease.
As for knowledge, it will come to an end.
For we know only in part,
and we prophesy only in part.
But when the complete comes,
the partial will come to an end.
For now we see in a mirror dimly;
then, we will see face-to-face.
Now I know only in part;
then I will know fully,
even as I have been fully known.
And now, faith, hope, and love abide - these three.
And the greatest of these is love.
Great news! I've been cast in a spring production by Little Green Pig Theatrical Concern, an edgy, nontraditional, consistently well-reviewed theater company based in Durham. I did a scene for their fundraiser a couple weeks ago with my friend Lucius - the last scene of Vertigo, screaming and all, using a spiral of Christmas lights to simulate a staircase - and it went really well. After that, the Artistic Director Jay O'Berski asked me to play in Fistful of Love, a mash-up of plays by one of his favorite playwrights, Charles Mee. Even better, he also asked Rajeev to be in it! So I'm just as excited as can be!
Mark your calendars - it'll open sometime next May. What the heck am I going to do until then? :)
The White Witch again criticizes the criticism of critic Alastair Macauley, in her very special way...see here.
We celebrated Donny's birthday at Melleray last month! Dad cooked a big cheese omelette - using Melleray eggs! - and we opened presents, which for Donny included a stiff shower brush, a cherry wood backgammon set, and a whole lot of fine cigars. See pictures here!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY!
I hope the New York crew's got things going on today - as for me, imma put sage in my tea tonight!
