{insert Marvin Gaye song}
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008God it’s hard to keep up with things…I don’t know how Broadway actors do 8 shows a week and only have one day off! I feel like I spend Monday and Tuesday just barely getting caught up with everything from the weekend, not to mention running personal errands…Of course, I wouldn’t trade being in this [...]
Restaurant Review: Lovely Hula Hands
Monday, January 21st, 2008***Originally posted at PortlandFood.org***
Finally made it to LHH last Wednesday, and it is definitely going to be my new neighborhood favorite. The decor is very comfy-eclectic and inviting without being too kitschy. It’s the kind of place you can dine in jeans, but wouldn’t feel out of place a little more dressed up. We got [...]
Yay!
Monday, January 21st, 2008I know a lot of actors will tell you they don’t read their own press, but frankly that is a disingenuous crock of poo. So I am happy to say the first reviews are in and overwhelmingly positive…

Wooohooo! I knew this was an amazing script, and I’m glad that collectively we’ve been able to [...]
Opening Night!
Friday, January 18th, 2008I can’t believe it, but tonight is opening night for Tales of Ordinary Madness! Last night was the preview, our first time performing in front of an audience. Everything went pretty well, although it’s always strange putting a show up live after months of rehearsals. The energy of the people in the theatre has an [...]
Lesbian Phone Sex
Monday, January 14th, 2008This is so funny I almost peed my pants. Did I mention I get to cross over in the play?
T Minus One Week
Friday, January 11th, 2008Ack!!! We open a week from today! I’m kind of flipping out and probably won’t make much sense, but I suddenly realized it has been far too long since I’ve written. We shifted into high-gear with rehearsals when we started back up after the break, and they’ve been exhausting.
Tomorrow and Sunday are the tech rehearsals, [...]
Restaurant Review: Serratto

On the prowl for a pre-rehearsal meal that wouldn’t break the bank, last night I hit happy hour at Serratto…
Lovely space. Really airy and inviting, basked in the glow of candles. Perfect for a date, but not exclusively romantic. I didn’t feel out of place reading the paper and dining solo, but [...]
A Flash of Flesh
Sunday, January 6th, 2008I’m thinking about fingers running up the back of my thigh…Breath on the nape of my neck…A wicked murmuring in my ear of deviant delights to come…Hands, spinning me around and pushing me back against wall…And I’m thinking about lips…Brushing across mine as our bodies press together…In my fantasy, faces remain in shadow…My imagination fills in [...]
Restaurant Review: Simpatica

H and I finally made it to Simpatica for dinner last night…
Caesar Salad
French Onion Soup
Steak Frites
Chocolate Cheesecake
Interesting place. It’s obvious they are going for a specific dining experience, which quite frankly just isn’t going to appeal to me very often. That said, we had a wonderful meal…
Both the salad and the soup [...]
Restaurant Review: Castagna
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008I thought I’d share my review of our dinner at Castagna last night so you can see what a little miss foodie I’ve become…

Castagna for New Year’s Eve dinner last night…
Foie gras nature on gingerbread
This was the course I was most apprehensive about, as foie gras does not always agree with me. H thought [...]
