Thus Far

"Today is Tuesday." I was told once by my improv coach, and strangely it's become one of those sayings I live by. It does mean a lot more than the lexical understanding of those three words. Its hard to live by mantra you can only use once a week. So despite the fact that today actually IS Tuesday. It means, that everyday is special and unique and that something excite can happen, you just have to find that thing that's worth improvising a scene about. It's Tuesday, an ordinary day, but something has to make it worth putting in front of an audience. For me thus far today, on this ordinary Tuesday in NYC in August, nothing as of yet is worth making a scene about. But its early in the day.

I've now been back in NYC for a grand total of four days. Woot!! And things are slowly shaping up. I don't have an apartment and I'm not going to find a job for a while. I still have a dissertation to finish, but that gets more done everyday and I have a desk and a key card at the NYC public library. It makes me feel all professional. Its absolutely incredible seeing all my friends and there are still more to see. Generally, I just can't wait.
