Oh my God!
All in the blog-osphere, fear not! I have not disappeared from the face of the earth, just from the face of the internet. It has been a busy four (!!!) months since my last posting, and I am sorry for those of you waiting with bated breath for information on the life of Daniel.
I only have a few moments to spare right now, but here is a very quick update on my life and vices...
1. I quit my job with Menopause the Musical. While certainly things got a bit nutty with my bosses (and I totally turned into an e-bitch as a result, sending lots of e-mails in ALL CAPS), the truth is things will be getting so busy for me in other ways that jumping ship from Menopause made the most sense.
2. C. Jay Cox, the screenwriter and director that I assist, is about to go into pre-production for an indie flick that he'll be directing. As a result my hours with him will get ratcheted up post-Labor Day. Should be exciting. I'll be doing whatever he needs on-set, plus try and keep his life in order at home while the movie is doing 14-hour days.
3. Puppetry of the Penis: Nothing much going on there, but...
4. The fine folks who brought you Puppetry are producing a show called Club KidzBop, touring Six Flags amusement parks all summer. I have signed on as a road producer of sorts, doing my best to help the tour along, keeping the performers and staff happy, etc., etc. It has required quite a bit of traveling, which is just beginning to wear me down. So far, I've been to Louisville, Atlanta, southern New Jersey, western Massachusetts, Buffalo, and yet to come is Lake George (upstate NY), Denver, Chicago, and finally Valencia, CA. Great pay, really sweet people, and lots of bad bad food...
So that's the work view for now. As for vices, well... let's just say when things get busy, vice-control goes out the window. Eating like a machine and smoking pot like a fiend. The gambling's not been bad at all, thanks mostly to a great Saturday night poker game that has very low stakes while stroking my desire to risk a few bucks... And as for sex, well, nobody's a knockin', so I can proudly say that one is well under control. (Okay, well not totally proudly, but whatever...)
My great friend Brian (and former assistant, I taught him everything he knows...) will be visiting later this month, as his web-obsession Snakes on a Plane (and his out of control weblog www.snakesonablog.com) have led him to a trip to L.A. for the premiere. It will be great to visit with him.
And I'll be seeing my mom and step-dad in Vegas on the 21st of Augsut for a fabulously overpriced dinner. We'll be dining at Michael Mina Bellagio, a top-rated seafood restaurant at the Bellagio Casino. Stay tuned for a review...
And that's about it for now. More soon, I (sort of) promise.
