The word "no" really needs to become a regular participant in my vocabulary. I am booked just about every night this week, and I need to work on this theatre stuff. There is a coffee shop that opens around six am near a bus stop, maybe I'll go there tomorrow before work. Just not where I need to be with any of this. If I get a seat on the southbound bus, I can read...but I need to write, and I still haven't found the book. (Which means I need to write more, because I'll have to construct my own monologue from the text. I don't think it will be difficult, just take extra time to piece it together.)
Later. Bus was packed. My friend found me a seat, but no reading. Sat around at Rocco's in Belltown hoping to meet up with a friend in town from Portland. No luck. Ran into some theatre people I know, and I got a bunch of writing done. Someone offered to run lines with me, but I needed to get to a meeting. Ate this garlic cheese bread with pesto (the pesto was fabulous), and now I really want to brush my teeth. Had this cucumber/rosewater drink...amazing aroma. Left to catch a bus to meeting. Got someone to drive me home, the moon was rising pale orange through wispy bluish clouds, half hidden. Now it's more pale yellow and you can see the whole thing. Must actually be full tonight. Looking down at the city, all the buildings glistened in a hard, greenish silver light against a darkening blue sky, pink clouds strewed across the higher sky. Warm. A gorgeous summer night.
I've got the general background written. If this is as far as I get, I can work with it, but I'd like to get more specific, things that never come up, but are part of being a person. Told person that drove me home about the show. He said he might be interested in seeing it. I'm getting better at this (letting people know what's going on, inviting them into my life.)
Peace. I'm going for round three in trying to watch this Marx Brothers movie. I keep falling asleep, not a testament to anything accept a bit of narcoleptic-tendencies on my part.
