The new job is challenging. A little nerve-wracking to start, but I was soon in the swing of things and beginning to enjoy myself.
Thank you all - it's great to know that you're all pleased about this - and Krissa and I are grateful for your sentiments. We're chuffed too!
The rehearsals for A Midsummer Night's Dream are coming along as well. I mean, I felt a little out of place to start, because I haven't done any acting since I swore off Shakespeare at the age of 12. I had two public performances as Mark Anthony in Julius Caesar, and both days I ended up having stitches at the local A&E for totally unrelated incidents.
But still, I thought I was taking the hint.
Tonight, after a little improvisational game play and general larking about (and a Venti Iced Mocha Latte from Starbucks), I really relaxed into it...even after my first day at the new office, which is really saying something.
Krissa and I went out to Long Beach on Sunday, a..um...well...long beach on Long Island, and we swam and played in the allocated area of the sea and we burnt ourselves to a crisp under a sun moderated by deceptively cooling winds.
After coming home we still felt fine, and I even had a hot shower before heading out to see March of the Penguins, but it was only after coming out of the cinema that I felt the all-too-familiar crawl of heat across the skin on my back.
That night, a faint *glupglupglupglup* sound could be heard from our bedroom as Krissa and I absorbed vast quantities of moisturiser.
Summer is a cumen in, lewd sing cuckoo.
is march of the penguins worth seeing?
Yes!
It's great.
It's brilliantly shot. There are a lot of sad moments, a lot of slapstick penguin action, but it is a bit arty. Some of the unanswered questions were a little annoying...but yeah, go see if you have the chance!
99,948. Rats! But I am a repeat visitor. ;)
I just picked up Winged Migration on dvd and I'm looking forward to catching March of the Penguins.
Have a great holiday you guys and enjoy your Mac!
