  Summer is finally here and I decided to create this blog to keep tabs on myself and others throughout the vacation. But I must admit, I probably won't be religiously faithful in my postings and I'm not the most technologically advanced human being so my bet is that my blog will be quite boring.
Just as long as we have all of that out on the table. Today it was gray outside...And that's how I felt...gray. It was just one of those days where you wake up in a sucky mood. Also I feel like something is missing, I don't even know what really. BUT I start musical theater at Raleigh Little Theater tomorrow morning. Perhaps that will "complete me". I really love being at the theater, I love everything about it. In fact I was just there last night with Mr. Ryan Rinkel.
We had the pleasure of viewing "New Works and Old Works Reworked". It was a production of several short plays, each quite varied in subject. Being the light hearted audience member that I am, I enjoyed the comedic selections the best. (Don't get me wrong I enjoy a good Ernest Hemminway every now and then; even ones about abortion) Anna, Claire, and Simon wrote, directed, and starred in a hilarious piece entitled The Evolution of the Death Penalty. It doesn't sound funny...But it was. I also really enjoyed Papas and Who's on First. It was great to the RLT crew again.
After the show we stayed to chat with the cast and then we helped pop the many balloons covering the floor of the Gaddy lobby. Then Ryan and I bummed a ride from Amanda Bitler. After much searching for Ms. Bitler, and a phone call to Amanda's house we finally headed over to Starbucks. Just our luck, it had closed at nine. After a quick change in plans we headed over to Cafe Cyclo (did I spell that right?). It was a cute, eclectic place in Cameron village. The chai was nothing to rave about, but the atmosphere made up for what my beverage was lacking.
After sipping on my drink and conversing with Ryan and Amanda a bit my mother came to pick me up. It was an enjoyable night filled with little old ladies at RLT, scary men with Jackie Chan shirts, confessions of brownie preferences (nuts or no nuts? ), and more balloon popping than I ever wanted to experience.
